Emily Rogers correctly reported the following over a month before the Switch was even revealed:
http://letsplayvideogames.com/2016/12/switch-patents-seemingly-confirm-a-bunch-of-our-reports/ She also corrected herself regarding Splatoon being an enhanced port a few days before the event, and said that she felt Mario was likely being delayed due to Zelda hitting its launch. This isn't a full work up of all the rumors she got all or partially right, or the rumors that still have plenty of time to be right between now and E3. They weren't really correct about launch titles, but let's not act like they got nothing right. They got a LOT right. You can argue some of it is obvious and easy to "guess", but this details were way too detailed and consistently correct to have all just been educated guesses. They were not. And as for Eurogamer, well...they correctly leaked the entire Switch concept back in July. I would say they also have a pretty solid track record here. |
It would be region free
Nvidia chip would be custom
6.2 inch capacitive touchscreen at 720p
32 gigs of internal storage
Right analog stick below face buttons
Crappy battery life
Unreal 4 support
She also correctly stated that Mario Kart 8 would have a revamped battle mode, new characters, and courses
Laura Kate Dale, meanwhile, was correct about:
Micro SD card under the kickstand
Advanced force feedback
Motion control
IR sensor on the bottom of the controller
The existence of a share button.
I struck through all of the stuff that could be easily guessed. Things like crappy battery life, which would be obvious or that Nintendo would be using a custom chip as they've done for pretty much every system.
Laura at least got some things right that were specific enough to be impressive.
