A major leaker from Chinese online forums has been the subject of some fascinating new information that has appeared in the gaming leaks and rumors community.
Shhhh
The individual in issue was a leaker who was known as “Factory Uncle” in the community. It was believed that this individual worked on one of Nintendo’s manufacturing lines. He was notorious for releasing details about forthcoming new Nintendo Switch hardware, such as the Splatoon 3 OLED and other Special Edition Nintendo Switches. This earned him a lot of notoriety.
It has been claimed that the Factory Uncle has been permanently banned from the forum where he was active, and that his topic has been removed as well, according to a post that was made on Famiboards. That was apparently at the request of Nintendo itself, which suggests that they finally took steps to put a stop to his leaking operations. The fact that this was supposedly the case is what makes this situation noteworthy.
It is not apparent, as of the time that this article was written, why Nintendo decided to take action now, despite the fact that Factory Uncle has been operating for quite some time. Some others believe it was to prevent him from disclosing information regarding the suspected Switch successor; however, because the post has been removed, it will be impossible to ascertain whether or not he really did reveal anything of the kind before he was banned. This has led to the speculation.
