A few Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch Lite games have reportedly been leaked, courtesy of GameStop. Amid rumors that Nintendo will end February with a bang and that this year’s mainline Pokemon games will be revealed this week, a prominent leaker has announced that GameStop has updated its internal database with two new contiguous Switch SKUs at $ 59.99, or in other words, two Nintendo Switch games. What these games could be is everyone’s best guess, but the most obvious answer is that these are two new Pokemon games, which are said to be remakes of Diamond and pearl
The leaker, Centro Pokemon, supports the claim and provides an image of the SKUs, although there is currently no way to validate the image. It was sent to the source by a GameStop employee, but this wouldn’t be the first time an image of this variety has been faked. At ground level, it passes the sniff test, but so do many other fakes in the past.
Below you can see the image for yourself, again courtesy of Centro Pokemon:
Tidbit from a GameStop employee:
Apparently, two new $ 59.99 contiguous Switch SKUs were recently added to GameStop. While we don’t know if they are related to Pokémon, it is certainly intriguing.
In the past, we’ve seen GameStop add SKUs shortly before announcements. pic.twitter.com/jcyotL4BYS

Now take everything here with a grain of salt. Not only is nothing official here, but even if the information and image are good, only reveals that GameStop recently added two Nintendo Switch games to its database. These Switch games could be ahead Pokemon, but they can also be for much less exciting titles.
At the time of publication, none of the parties involved – neither Nintendo nor GameStop – commented in any capacity on the leak. If this changes, we will be sure to update the story with whatever is provided.
