Best Buy Switch Leak Rumor

Last night was an exciting night for Nintendo fans. Wario64 tweeted out three possible Nintendo Switch leaks. With his final tweet stating:

This concludes tonight’s Nintendo Direct — Wario64 (@Wario64) April 3, 2019

The leaks come from a Best Buy employee’s system. The games that leaked are Persona 5, Metroid Prime Trilogy, and Link to the Past. Persona 5 seems very likely given that Joker is the first DLC character in Smash. Metroid Prime Trilogy also looks very likely, but Link to the Past is where it gets strange.

Link to the Past on Switch

Having this game in the list seems out of place. Would Nintendo release a physical copy of Link to The Past? Is this SKU for an eshop card? I have been saying that I think Nintendo will be bringing the Virtual Console back this year but under a different name and this could be evidence of that. It could also be that another remake is on the way, but the timing seems strange for that having just announced Links Awakening.

Your thoughts

What do you think about these leaks? Are you annoyed that news like this takes some of the fun out of announcements? I will read all the comments on the Nintendo Power Cast.
