Persona 5 Coming to Nintendo Switch
How do we know this? Well, this time it's a good old listing error: This German retailer listed Persona 5 Royal for the Niintendo Switch. The timing sure is convenient, since we're expecting a new Nintendo Direct to take place at the end of the month. If that Nintendo Direct does happen, we can be sure to hear more about Persona 5 coming to the Swith then.
If you're not familiar with Persona 5 Royal, it's essentially an enhanced version of Persona 5, and Persona 5 is one hell of a game. Persona 5 basically got 9s and 10s across the board, and is one of the best RPGs of all time. Easily. Unless you don't like anime... in which case this game isn't for you, because it's basically an interactive anime.
Of course, as always there's the question of whether or not the Switch can even the handle the game. Persona 5 Royal is a big game, and the Switch isn't exactly the most powerful of consoles. Who knows, maybe we'll get a reveal of the rumored Switch successor at the end of the month, and Persona 5 is one of its launch titles.
