“It has a link to the listing and I instantly had to tweet that out since no one else was talking about it.”

“It was around 6:30ish went on Google and I just saw this article of the situation,” the person who runs the McTrOid account told Inverse. When Inverse asked the leaker where they found the alleged Best Buy listing, McTrOiD’s story didn't quite add up. McTrOiD’s tweet was written about by several video game news sites Monday morning, which stirred another wave of Metroid Prime Trilogy rumors. The Best Buy screenshot that made waves Monday.

The image showed a listing for “Metroid Prime Trilogy - Nintendo Switch.” We're led to assume that the retailer accidentally published the landing page for the game before Nintendo even announced the title. It all started with a screenshot of Best Buy’s website that was tweeted by Metroid fan account McTrOiD on Sunday.
