This comes after renowned insider NateTheHate claimed Nintendo is working on a remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and a new entry in the Star Fox series.

Shpeshal Nick's claims were posted in the GamingLeaksAndRumours Subreddit and gamers have been having their say in the comments.

One said: "Oh gosh... I bought my Switch 2 at launch just to dodge the price increase. I don't think I can resist buying this one too..."

Another commented: "Was waiting for this or a Pokemon themed one to finally get a Switch 2. Hopefully they make a good amount of them cause I imagine there's plenty of people specifically waiting for a themed console to finally bite."

"This is exciting," a third exclaimed.

A fourth added: "Ohh lordy this is gonna do numbers over the holidays."

And a fifth said: "Why did I get a Switch 2 too early 🤦♂️"
