Im so happy you posted this. I just saw people talking about the rumors and wanted to know what they where. When is E3 do we know?

Don’t ever trust rumors, even if they seem promising. Everyone takes rumors with a grain of salt.

But this one seems too good to be true, so I don’t trust it.

I honestly might cry if these rumors are true. I've been okay with waiting until E3 to find out more about the game, and I'm a little skeptical about the rumors being true just because nothing is official and a lot of people like to make things up. That being said, I absolutely love all of this. I would also like to know when E3 is this year, if anyone knows.

E3 is usually in June, mostly the second to third week of June.

I'm closing this due to the rumor source being a random Twitter account with no credible history -- it's no more credible than any other user on TBT posting a thread here and claiming to know all these things. The account has some past tweets as well that question their credibility too, such as implications of AC appearing at E3 last year and home themes on the Switch releasing last year, neither of which came true.

I understand we are all excited and hungry for some Animal Crossing news but I believe we should have some sort of standard set to prevent this board from becoming full of sketchy rumors. We already had a user some months ago make an alternative account to pretend to be a 'leaker', just as an example.

If a rumor/leak comes from a well-known publication, a person who has a good proven track record on Nintendo rumors previously, or has plausibly legitimate looking media (like screenshots), then we will be more than happy to have a thread discussing it. But otherwise I will be closing these rumour threads without credible sources going forward until we hear more about the game officially.

Also, please don't take any offence OP, I'm not singling you out specifically and I understand you just wanted to share! There's been a few other threads similar to this in the past that I considered closing as well -- I'm just deciding to make the move now after consideration for a while.
