I'm kinda surprised I didn't realize that's what you were referring to. Didn't even try to think about it.
Maybe it's my neighbors being noisy. I'll use that excuse...
Yeah, it's easy to have that impression of Nintendo. I at least wouldn't expect it for a new game. But I wonder how they'd feel about an old game like Viewtiful Joe? I thought W101 was from around that generation, but I see now it's from WiiU, and that's relatively very recent.
So that makes it sound more doubtful.

In summary, we have a tweet from PG that shows Kamiya, a Switch and a TW101 hint, plus a post from the always sketchy 4chan (or some other chan) and a tweet from Robertson. The only thing of substance here might be Kamiya attempting to get people to talk about TW101 again in hopes that Nintendo greenlights a Switch port of the game.
At least this is one of those rumors that can be confirmed or debunked within a couple of days.

I'm not familiar with Robertson, or how likely it is that he'd have access to this information. Disregarding his tweet and the 4chan post though, it could be that W101 is already being ported to Switch. But that makes me wonder if Nintendo would be ok with Platinum spoiling the otherwise surprise of the announcement like this.

Liam is spotty. He is wrong 50% of the time and 50% time he gets some things right but it's never the full picture. I remember when he kept claiming Nintendo was not going to release Devil's Third in the west and maintained it until Nintendo announced and released Devil's Third in the west. He never says oops I was wrong. Just pretends like it never happened. His insight seems to be better on the development of past projects tho. He was good at getting a lot of info on Project Hammer on Wii.

Liam does seem to have reliable sources at Platinum, like he was one of the first if not the very first person to break the news of Scalebound's cancellation.
