Original Article: A newly-spotted Amazon listing suggests that Saints Row IV: Elected could well be on its way to Nintendo Switch.
The listing - viewable here - says that the game will launch on 27th March and contains screenshots and box art for the release:
Of course, Saints Row: The Third - The Full Package came to Switch in May of last year, so it wouldn't be surprising to see Saints Row IV make the leap as well. Originally, this fourth title in the series launched on other platforms back in 2013, with this improved Re-Elected version launching a couple of years later.
As always, we'd encourage you to wait for an official announcement from either Nintendo or Deep Silver before getting your hopes up, but this retail listing certainly looks convincing. Amazon is already taking pre-orders for the game at $39.99 a pop.

there must be a Nintendo Direct on the way
At this rate, we won't need a Direct. Everything will leak beforehand.
Seriously though, Direct please. I need new games and updates on one we know, such as Xenobladde Chronicles: Definitive Edition release date.
Keep the lack of Direct dragging on and the leaks will start mounting :3
@Hobbesyall
Yup, was the same last year. Direct didn't happen until somewhere in February and quite a bit of stuff started leaking out before then.
They really should hurry up and just release it...
I'm really hoping the direct isn't going to be full of ports. Nothing against them and so many games I would happily have (please bioshock be true) but I'm wanting some nice original game goodness. They just need to get the direct out so it doesn't get major over hyped/spoiled by leaks. Or that's possibly too late...
Yes, I didn’t play this one on my PS4, but will pick up on Switch to play on the go
No Gat out of Hell or is that still going to be a standalone DLC?
I'm nearly done SR3 co-op with my friend. It's incredibly fun, and the co-op integration is seamless. Will buy this day 1. 😁
You know a direct would not hurt right noe
surely a direct must be coming, as other people have said most stuff will already be known at this rate.....
Does it contain GAT out of hell? Re-elected on ps4 and xbox one did.
Didn't SR3 run like crap on the Switch? Can't see 4 doing much better lol.
I might just get this dumb game to goof off.
This was when Violtion knew that trying to top GTA was impossible so they started doing some goofy stuff with the franchise.
I hope this runs better than SR3.
It's on the eShop coming soon section. £35
More old games?
I'll play it. Looks like fun.
Yes, please. Might not even wait to finish The Third since I already started the game on PS4 way back when - and what of it played comfortably on Vita was quite a blast... but as you may guess, not a whole LOT of it played comfortably regardless (insert my usual FWP laments about hardmapping DualShock triggers to the rear touchpad), so I've been hoping for a Switch port since before The Third was a thing. Not necessarily a launch purchase (we're talking the month with Outer Worlds, Langrisser pack and possibly Gods & Monsters in it), but a high priority wishlist item for certain. :3
I wonder if Gat Out of Hell is coming, too.
I can't wait to play this in 20 FPS with input lag.
Putting this on my Want list...
Any games is good for me. PreOrdered
Last saints row is ace - can’t wait for this beauty! Grand theft auto anyone?
PushSquare must be happy that the "new" releases on Switch keep their 5 year old pages with traffic.
Hope there is actually something exciting in the Direct.
If it runs well enough I will go for it. I really enjoyed this one on the PS4, all the super powers are so much fun to use.
E: Also what is it with every game releasing in March now?
I'm gonna throw this out there and some might disagree and I don't necessarily blame you. But maybe it's a good thing they're dragging their feet on a Direct and these port announcements are leaking early. Maybe it's by design and Nintendo can now focus a good portion of a Direct on some first party surprise announcements that could use that time and focus.
Or maybe that's absurd and would confirm what EA says about third party software possibly getting overshadowed by Nintendo's first party stuff.
At least Switch is bringing my favorite open world platform to the system...Saints Row 5 would be nice though.
All these games that just leak before a direct happens lol.
Part III was an enjoyable experience on Switch, glad they are bringing part IV as well.
Very nice.
Now we just need confirmation of the BioShock collection on Switch. 😁
Welp another addition to the backlog. Glad for the support.
We need a Nintendo version of Forza. Not a Forza port, but like a Nintendo racing simulator like Forza. Nintendo GT
Oh damn. Another rumour is true. I thought all rumours were lies.
Was the Third finally patched? Will they learn the lesson this time?
Already got SR3 on the Switch so I couldn't care less about this one. SR4 was a big disappoint to me back when it came out, they ditched the old gangster city vibe for some alien invasion theme that didn't really work that well.
@Moroboshi876 Yeah they released another patch a few months ago.
@bigcalsworld No, SR3 runs just fine on Switch. I'm playing online co-op as of late. It's stable.
Thats cool and all but where is GTAV
I already have Re-Elected on Xbox One, but the idea of playing it while travelling does sound appealing. I hope they include the vampire mode with the ability to toggle it.
As a wise man once said: "Aw sh!t, here we go again!"
@MuhBael with Half-life 3 for Switch.
@MuhBael exactly GTA iv or v will do just fine..
@bigcalsworld SR3 ran fine on the switch.
