In all the excitement and buzz surrounding the reveal of the Nintendo Switch yesterday, it seems Blizzard couldn’t help but throw a little gasoline on the fire for their fans. Far from a game confirmation, but also a little too vague to be a simple congratulations on a successful reveal, Blizzard posted a cryptic Hearthstone picture on the developer’s Hearthstone Twitter.

Sadly, considering Blizzard is not one of the developers listed as supporting the Switch, chances are it is a joke, poking fun at a similar picture Nintendo used of Mario peeking out from behind a curtain in the publisher’s original tease of the Switch reveal earlier this week. That didn’t stop fans from getting very excited though.
“If hearthstone is on this I will flip my s***,” writes one Twitter user.
“@PlayHearthstone @NintendoAmerica please say @Blizzard_Ent is on board as a developer! #TakeMyMoney,” tweets another.
These fan reactions are of course only matched by some tantalizing Photoshop work as well.
Please! It would be so cool! 😀 pic.twitter.com/EwRUgKhsKw

Needless to say, Blizzard might have stumbled into something they weren’t entirely prepared for. With only the single three-minute trailer to go from, we don’t even know if the Nintendo Switch will feature a touch screen, though early rumors suggested it might.
