However, the game's release has been slightly preempted. Nintendeal's X account revealed that some gamers already have access, and pre-orders are reportedly sold out at various US retailers. They even shared images of the game's physical release packaging.
While a remaster, potential spoilers are circulating online. Players eager to experience the game fresh on launch day should exercise caution to avoid unwanted story reveals.
Early game releases aren't new for Nintendo, yet their titles consistently maintain immense popularity and anticipation.
Meanwhile, the long-awaited Nintendo Switch 2 is generating considerable buzz. Numerous leaks suggest Nintendo is nearing a formal announcement, potentially taking the reins from the flurry of insider reports. Nintendo maintains a March deadline for the reveal.
Prominent blogger NateTheHate predicts the announcement will happen this Thursday, January 16th! However, he tempers expectations, suggesting a focus on technical specs rather than extensive software or game details.
