>Eurogamer >NX will be revealed in September guys! Lie >It has removable side controllers! More than likely a lie >Mother 3 will be released in 2016 guys! Lie
>Emily Rogers >Rockstar are working on a Wii U title! Lie >Female Link will be playable in Zelda U! Lie >My sources also say Mother 3 will be released in 2016! Lie
>Doctor Cupcakes >Star Fox is delayed again! Proven false in the Nintendo Direct the next day >Devil's Third won't be published in NA by Nintendo! Devil's Third ends up published in NA by Nintendo >Mercury Steam were once working on a Metroid game! Flat out denied by the devs
And yet people still listen to these fuck heads as gospel. Why?
I've actually been running a blog observing the leak community, ever since the Devil's Third situation exposed them for making shit up, and I think I have a pretty good idea.
Namely, smaller Nintendo websites can't compete with bigger sites like IGN when it comes to real Nintendo news. So they resort to using these kinds of fucks to drive traffic. So they promote them as 'reliable' sources so that they always have something to talk about.
I know Tamaki has his own YouTube channel that is only relevant because of this, but I can't seem to figure out what Emily Roger's motive is. She';s clearly the ringleader and a big reason as to why this kind of thing started happening, but I'm not sure what she GETS out of faking leaks and pretending to have insider information.
David Kelly
I hope the NX does not get leaked and I am glad for all these "leaks" so that even if something is legit it drowns in everything else, I just want to be surprised by Nintendo.
I remember, I think it was Kotaku, after reporting about the Wii U leak once it was unveiled they felt disappointed because...well, it was what it was in the leak, I dunno maybe my memory is faulty.
I dont know what's your deal but it would be interesting and I guess for the NX at least a recap of all the leaks and who was right and who was wrong.
Brayden Torres
>>Rockstar are working on a Wii U title! serious who even believe in this
Nolan Wilson
Anybody remember back when, when TSA was an internet celeb and was always lying about upcoming Zelda games. All his insider info was just his ideas and theories
Wyatt Turner
Fuck Emily
My guess is somebody else told her Paper Mario was coming and nothing about it being sticker star sequel
Kayden Harris
It doesn't matter what it actually is nintendrone. Its going to fail.
Andrew Sanchez
Pretty much all the leaks coming from this circle of people are wrong.
Actually, IS confirmed they were working on it at a Japanese convention. The news just didn't reach American shores until Emily presented the information as her own.
Ethan Lopez
How do you know it's a lie?
Robert Kelly
Emily Rogers is a brute forcer. She comes up with likely rumors, and when the rumors are confirmed, she gets "signal boosted" and gain fame as a leaker. But when its proven to be false, she just "corrects the record" and try again and again and again.
For example, i could "leak" right now that the nintendo NX base will not have any extra processing power. Instead, the SoC inside the portable itself will be between the Xbone and PS4 in power, but will disable half of its cores when outside of the stand to save on battery power.
And as the system will have a specialized heat spreader (just like the modern phones like iphone, note etc..) that sends the heat to the whole back of the device, an active blowing cooler on the stand will cool the system down when running at full power.
James Williams
Eurogamer hires only truly professional journalists, with journalism degrees.
Please do not question the media. It's a bad habit.
Isaiah Jenkins
Who would have known that the Wii would be such a success? Maybe it will be a failure, maybe not, you cant just shoot such a sentence when we dont even know what this console is.
How do they call it? Cold reading?
Josiah Cooper
2015 already had the rumor of a paper Mario in the works
It's not fucking calculus to guess it's reveal in 2016
Dylan Bell
The NX will be DOA.
Jackson Sanchez
Whatever make em feel like they're not bullshitting everyone.
Asher Brooks
I've given up. I thought we'd get a date by now for Direct, but I'm assuming it comes in January now. See you all then.
Joseph Flores
The Japanese convention was 2015
Like early 2015
And we heard about this rumor but not from her
She suddenly started talking January of this year
Jonathan Garcia
That's not the argument
It's about the random people claiming rumors
Go shitpost somewhere else kid
Benjamin Evans
NX is a trap meant to make japanese developers make good games for a console level system, instead of just reserving em for the portables. It is a """""""portable"""""", so it gets mainline pokemon, PMD, rune factory, Phoenix wright, Bravely *, etc etc etc.. If both the japanese consumer market and the developers fall for the trap. It will sell very, very well.
Liam Collins
It's a circuitous plot to kill the NX hype by overhyping it. This can eventually 'mean' any number of things:
Punish Nintendo for bad hardware, Punish Nintendo for not paying attention to these smaller sites, Punish Nintendo for something indirectly related but Nintendo-done, To throw enough darts and one lands that said "leaker" can take the fame (despite having a horrible track record), etc.
Alexander Gomez
That's not the argument for this thread, but that's what's going to happen nonetheless.
Ryder Walker
The only conceivable time is somewhere after October 7, specifically after Color Splash releases since it's the only real Wii U exclusive left
Not counting Zelda but it's not Wii exclusive anymore
Isaiah Campbell
"Brute forcer' implies that she throws a whole bunch of ideas against the wall, which isn't really true. She is very careful about the information she spreads and tries her best to only present rumors she thinks are going to actually pan out.
Her Zelda leaks are a great example of this. The community was CONVINCED that Female Link was going to be a thing due to statements made by developers, so one of her big statements about the game was that female Link would definitely by playable.
Michael Diaz
lok mom iposted it again!
Zachary Martin
>but that's what's going to happen nonetheless. Ok Emily Rogers.
Oliver Jenkins
I hope so
I'm so fucking of the 3DS getting all this support from both first party and third party while the Wii U is flopping out of water this entire year
All it got was Star Fuck U and Paper Mario Color Trash
Meanwhile the 3DS got Mario and Luigi Paper Jam, Fire Emblem Fates, Monster Hunter Generations, Rhythm Heaven, Ace Attorney, Kirby Planet Robobot, and it's still getting Pokemon Sun and Moon and Mario Maker
Gavin Thompson
>but I'm not sure what she GETS out of faking leaks It makes her puss-puss feel all tingly and wet.
Noah Thomas
>>Mother 3 will be released in 2016 guys! Why?
make a new game with a new world and called it Mother 4, these days Nintendo is cashing in on nostalgia
Dylan Richardson
That takes more time, money and effort.
Wyatt Hernandez
Because it has never officially come out in the West. It's still a "new game", sorta. They did the same with Mother 1 last year and it was successful.
Assumptions and predictions are always retarded user
For everyone, nitpicking won't change that
James Ward
>I've actually been running a blog
:)
Jackson Roberts
We can almost confirm that it's the hybrid but we can't be sure
The best we got was John Gamefreak saying >The NX is trying to change the concept of what it means to be a home console device or a hand-held device
For all we know it's not a Hyrbid at all
All other specifics are barely giving us anything, detachable wiimotes or not
whatever be fuck it is I just want effort to be made, the 3DS took too much devs away from Wii U
Juan Davis
I agree, actually. They can do nothing else at this stage.
Carter Peterson
why don't they just announce it? There's less than 6 months until launch.
Like shit do we really have to wait for Color Splash to release?
Elijah Thomas
>Trying this hard to start shit.
Nathaniel Butler
Why do people care?
It's not like you can have it any sooner just because it is announced.
Christian Sullivan
>no u
back to neogif
James Peterson
>Nintendo was a Comic Con Copenhagen
>Lots of Wii Us
>Big Breath of the Wild banner outside the event
>Only Color Splash and Pokken Tournament playable
Get dunked on.
Blake White
This, eat shit nintencucks.
Ayden Nelson
>compilation of idiots talking about Mario Kart 8 proves that the NX will fail.
Maybe in bizarro world.
Christian Nelson
Emily Rogers also incorrectly predicted full on account systems equal to PSN feature set and instead Nintendo cancelled Club Nintendo!
Kayden Price
It's the unknowing of it all. I can wait till march, no worries. I just want to know what the damn thing is.I can wait a few weeks if they just give me a fucking date.
Carson Gutierrez
Because the 3DS doesn't have any direct competition because the Vita is dead and mobile gaming is an entirely different beast. So third party developers don't have a choice.
They did with home consoles and since they don't like nintendo, because they're still butthurt over how they acted 28 years ago they're going to sabotage their games for the Nintendo releases and then claim there isn't an audience and move to the xbox or PS.
