    Yeah that’s why I doubt this. It’s the same thing we heard before. I’d love to be wrong though!

      Nah it’s totally different this time around.

      For starters Leth acknowledged Nintendo’s tweet about it by retweeting it, and setting his profile background to the new key art (which was provided by TC themselves)

      TC also provided four new screenshots of the game to Nintendo as part of a press kit.

      The xbox situation was literally never acknowledged by them at all, except for when Leth ultimately posted that it wasn’t happening lol. Apparently just based on estimates that TC had communicated with them privately, and only ever “confirmed” by a single social media person at Microsoft

      This isn’t some random Nintendo direct, but rather THE big event for their big console. And also officially and immediately supported by TC this time around. This is 100% an intentional press rollout
