\"Switchlite\"<\/a><\/figure>\n

The Nintendo Switch Lite<\/a> has been officially revealed and all is well, but remember the months leading up to its announcement when nearly every other day brought fresh rumours and “leaks” with varying levels of believability? It was a tough time to run a Nintendo site, we can tell you.<\/em><\/p>\n

Well, as it turns out, one of these “leaks” actually turned out to be real, but no one seemed to believe it at the time. Reddit user Thraxmo<\/a> has shared the following tweet from @PiranhaCapital<\/a>, which dates back to 17th April and appeared to show a case for the console. The original replies are full of people doubting the image’s validity, as you’d expect.<\/p>\n
