What we know so far

Automatic note by LuaCat Games, built from what we know about the coverage (who reported it, how many sites, the story’s history) — not a translation or copy of the source.

Headed for Nintendo Switch 2 and Nintendo Switch. The report is Polygon's, on its own for now. They usually verify before posting. Few names pull a crowd like Super Smash Bros..

Bottom line: The core of it should hold; if another outlet tells it differently, that shows up below.
