red dead redemption 2 ON THE GO? NINTENDO SWITCH 2 LEAK SUGGESTS MORE THAN JUST MARIO'S GETTING A WORKOUT
Ever wondered what would happen if Nintendo decided to let their family-friendly console throw hands with the big boys? Well, a recent leak suggests we might find out sooner rather than later, and it's got more potential than a plumber with a power-up.
THE EAN GAME
According to a recent social media leak by @Bouboune0 , someone's been doing their homework with EAN numbers (those barcode thingies that tell you how much you're about to spend on games instead of food). The detective work suggests that Tekken 8, FIFA, and potentially Red Dead Redemption 2 might be saddling up for Nintendo's next rodeo.
TAKE IT WITH A GRAIN OF SALT (OR A WHOLE SHAKER)
Now, before you start practicing your Electric Wind God Fist on your Joy-Cons, remember that leaks are about as reliable as a Storm in Fortnite promising they won't build a skyscraper in two seconds. While the EAN numbers might be more legitimate than my ranked gaming excuses, they're still not official confirmation.
THE POSSIBILITIES ARE THICC
If this leak turns out to be true, it could mean Nintendo's next console is packing more punch than we expected. Tekken 8 on a Nintendo platform would be like finding out your grandma secretly benches 300 – surprising but kind of awesome. And Red Dead Redemption 2? That would be like bringing a six-shooter to a Mushroom Kingdom fight.
WHAT IT COULD MEAN
This potential lineup suggests Nintendo might be trying to court the kind of gamers who think Kirby is too hardcore (just kidding, Kirby is terrifying). A beefier Switch successor capable of running these titles would be a bigger upgrade than finding out your starter Pokémon comes with a PhD.
Of course, we should treat this leak like a mushroom in a dark forest – approach with caution until Nintendo decides to officially spill the beans. Until then, we'll be here imagining Arthur Morgan having a tennis match with Mario.
Remember folks: leaks are like prophecies in a JRPG – they might come true, but they're usually way more complicated than they first appear.
