With E3 within only a few weeks, this is the time for rumors to be at their most wild and speculative. Especially when it comes to popular games. There's also been quite a few games leaked prior to the actual press conferences, such as Team Sonic Racing, Rage 2, and Assassin's Creed Odyssey, leading to the actual confirmation of these games potentially weeks earlier than intended. When Walmart isn't "accidentally" letting the existence of these titles out to the public, a good way to get an early confirmation of a game is by checking out each country's Ratings Board. This has lead to the discovery of games like Assassin's Creed Rogue Remastered, Okami HD, and Super Bomberman R multiplatform, far before the actual reveal.

The latest roundup of interesting new ratings from the Korean Game Ratings Board shows three game releases that could potentially be happening: Borderlands 1 GOTY for XB1, PS4, and PC, Sunset Overdrive for PC, and lastly and potentially most interestingly, Fortnite for the Nintendo Switch.

This also follows a "leak" from 4chan stating that Fortnite, Paladins, Dragon Ball FighterZ and more would be getting announced at Nintendo's Direct at this E3. Once more, after correctly predicting the Fallout 76 tease, Kotaku has corroborated this specific rumor, and claims that they have a source at Epic Games that has confirmed this as truth. Of course, it's all to be taken with a grain of salt until June 12, the day of Nintendo's conference.

I dont know how true is this leak but i saw in one posts in 4chan that this fortnite leak for the Switch was supposed to be a fake leak of a fake leak to a certain website. They did it to test how fast they would take the bait and spread this rumors. This is like a testament to how easily people would yake a scoop for a click. Am i on the wrong side of this leak?

I think everyone here has it wrong. Trash is not coming for the Switch. Trashy Fanbase is coming for the Switch.

I think it’s a combination

If the rest of the leaks are fake, that is some crazy timing.

Hope for cross progression with xb1 and stw support

Reaction to this was what I expected. I'll say it again; Fortnite isn't the best game ever made, but it is far from a poorly designed one, and seems to play pretty well.

If you don't like the game, don't buy it for your Switch. Miyamoto isn't going to come to your home personally, raise a shotgun to your head, and force you to play Fortnite. Mindless hate for a game is just as bad as mindless support for a game.

You don't even need to buy it either way, the part everyone cares about (Battle Royale) is free to play. There is a paid PvE horde mode type thing that was actually the original Fortnite, but it got completely overshadowed by the battle royale mode.

good for Nintendo, I know a few people who would probably jump to getting a switch as fortnight is pretty much all they play on their xbox one/ps4 I would imagine having it portable for them might draw some extra players

honestly if you like Nintendo games/systems you should be happy that they are getting games that will attract different players too, more console sales = more developers looking to publish on the system, if you don't like it, don't buy/play it and it will make no difference to you

Right, but my point still stands regardless. No one is forcing you to download Fortnite.

Why is everyone hating on fortnite?

@sks316 Said that he dosen't want cancer on his favorite console.

There are way more games then fortnite, I don't think one game is gonna kill the Switch hell it might boost sales.

Every cancerous teen and their grandmama have been talking about and playing this game.

It's cancerous when people take a game like this, and make it cringe.

But people putting NO NOT THE SWITCH or WELL SWITCH IS DEAD is ridiculous they need to be removed

If Nintendo added a porn app everyone wouldn't even think about it but this game is like black plague for the switch

Nintendo is adding Fortnite to boost sales If you don't like it use you'r Wii U

Why would anyone want to pay for Fortnite on the switch when you can play it for free on the PC?
Please stop Porting PC games to the switch as I don't want to play downgraded versions of games.
Give me more games that make Nintendo great and those are not AAA titles but First party and indie games.
end of rant.

Battle Royale is free

 

[nolimits59]

such good news for the Switch, thats awesome.

 

[SANIC]

This is the beginning of the end for the Nintendo Switch.

And you said it would never be on there

 

[leon315]

This is the beginning of the end for the Nintendo Switch.

nope, Fusée Gelee exploit which allows u to run Isoloader, is the end of Switch. a F2P battle royal would never kill a CONSOLE, it boosts its sales instead.

 

[Osha]

Can't say I care about this game, but that's absolutely good news for the Switch.

 

[Kioku]

No, it's just people hating on the game for it having a.. toxic(?) fanbase and it being popular. This seems like good news, if it has cross-platform online.

Mostly the latter. Contrary to popular belief, the toxicity in the game isn't nearly as bad as some would have you believe. Especially not as bad as the likes of Overwatch and LoL.. I see no real reason this would be a bad thing.

What's ironic is there's more toxicity spewed against the game than in the game...

 

[comput3rus3r]

Battle Royale is free

ok well my second comment still applies.

Wii U: only has first party support
