Nintendo’s intolerance towards leaks is well known, and they have tried many ways to stop leakers by destroying the element of surprise for players. However, the leak problem still heavily persists. On the other hand, many developers still name Nintendo Switch during announcements but fail to deliver the expected outcome.

Very recently, a reliable leak from Emily Rogers [a trustable source] had confirmed an upcoming mainline Fire Emblem game. The title has reportedly been finished for over a year.

Someone on Reddit decided to add on to Emily Rogers’ revelation and posted in-game screenshots of the anticipated Fire Emblem game. The screenshots gave out a clear picture of what the characters may look like. In fact, it was exactly as Rogers described.
I'm just as surprised as the rest of you.
I've never seen those Fire Emblem (Reddit) screenshots before. So, I couldn't tell you if they're real or fake.I'm leaning toward real. They look like they may have been leaked from Chinese localization.

According to SwitchForce, the leaked pictures may not only spoil Nintendo’s plans but also take away the element of surprise for many fans. Then again, the fandom thrives on such leaks. As expected, the Reddit post carrying the leaked screenshots received a ton of interactions and reposts.
Much-anticipated Midnight Suns may not happen on Nintendo Switch
Alongside the unnecessary Fire Emblem leak, SwitchForce also pointed out the reluctance of developers to stand by their promises regarding Nintendo Switch. 2k Games had mentioned Nintendo Switch as an applicable platform during Marvel’s Midnight Suns’ introductory announcement.
But, during the big reveal at the Summer Game Fest, there was no sign of Nintendo Switch as an available platform. So, it either points to a delay or a cancellation altogether. 2k Games haven’t even clarified the situation. Hence, there’s no saying what may have happened.
