The news was originally posted as a rumor on My Nintendo News yesterday after a listing for a Nintendo Switch version of the Metroid Prime Trilogy was discovered on the website belonging to Swedish retailer Inet.
According to an update on the original post, the product was even just a rumor for the retailer, but they felt confident enough that it will be announced at The Game Awards on December 6 to go ahead and list it.
Today, My Nintendo News reported that Liam Robertson, a writer for several sites including Nintendo Life, effectively confirmed a Metroid Prime Trilogy for the Switch on his Twitter account. Robertson, who is considered a reliable source on such matters, noted that the listing isn’t necessarily legitimate.
The Game Awards will air on Thursday, December 6, at 8:30 p.m. EDT. Those interested can watch it live, so we’ll find out for certain then whether or not the rumor is true.
