Rumor: Is Hearthstone Coming To The Nintendo Switch?
Today, following the reveal of the Nintendo Switch, Nintendo detailed a list of confirmed third-party publisher partnerships for the new console. Blizzard wasn't on that list, but the official Twitter account for Hearthstone is teasing the possibility that the popular digital card game, in some form, might make its way to the Switch.

We've reached out to Blizzard and Nintendo for clarification. Should we hear back, we will update this article accordingly. You can watch the reveal of the Nintendo Switch here.
Our Take
While little is said in this tweet, it does give the impression that Blizzard either has plans, or hopes, for a port or entry related to Hearthstone to appear on the Nintendo Switch. This remain to be speculation until we hear back from Blizzard or Nintendo.
