I thiiiiink some wires may have been crossed about FFVI. Verendus listed it here as a Playstation game. I think it was someone else during all the NX hysteria who claimed it was a Nintendo game. Unless I'm missing something; I don't remember Verendus commenting on a lot of Nintendo-related things.

There's a chance he may have had some legit info sometimes but he deliberately mixed in a lot of bullshit and the FFXV scandal was the last straw that destroyed the trust people had in him.

Well, he's a fake since someone pointed out that he just made a lot of vagues and can be right. I do remember him saying that FF6 Remake is coming to Nintendo at one time.
 
I wonder if and when they finally decide to show us Retro's new game, they'll make a big deal of it, "we know you've been waiting a long time for this" etc

Or they'll just drop it into the middle of a Direct so casually as if it's nothing.

Like when they revealed tropical freeze, they didn't even namedrop Retro. I was actually in denial about it for a while after the direct I was like "where the hell was Retros game". I just assumed it was another studio.

Yeah, it's fun looking at his old posts and trying to connect dots as to what actually ended up happening (e.g. Capcom TPS = Umbrella Corps? FF spinoff RPG = World of Final Fantasy?), but at the same time there's a lot that can be passed off as easy guesses.

I just looked around to see what the origin of FFVI remake being on Nintendo was but I couldn't find the exact source. I vaguely remember him mentioning it but there was so much "insider" stuff around that time it's hard keeping track of who said what.

FAKE EDIT: Lol I totally missed it.

One of those games is actually coming to Nintendo, but that's second hand information, and I don't really know about it.

So he didn't directly say it but people started speculating that FFVI is what he was referring to there. If it even means anything. I'd keep my pants on personally considering what happened to him but hey, cool if it actually happens.
 
Uhhh.. About that.....

He was outed as a fraud and got permabanned for that so my condolences.

Didn't that start with Verendus, and wasn't he proven to be a fraud when he posted fake FFXV impressions? Or am I misremembering?

Oh well. That game is a masterpiece and is probably better left untouched.
 
Need.

Online details.
Update of mobile app for other games.
Finally online os level integration? Achievements, etc.
Details about legacy convent (vc) on switch.

Deliver the goods and I buy a switch this fall.
Don't deliver and I'll keep holding off
 
We still have two days to go and this thread is already exploding.

At least with the official wording, we wont' have to suffer through two days of "they will announce no 2018 games and only talk about holiday games" and other nonsense about keeping expectations in check to absurdly low levels.
 
I guess it's happening?

Lol

Anyway, no doubt we'll be seeing finalized Xenoblade plans and probably the beginning of the massive push Mario Odyssey will get, so I'm looking forward to that alone. Everything else will be a bonus.

Oh yeah a better OS featureset would be nice too. Enable streaming already.

Oh wow, had no idea that dude ended up being a fraud, I guess he made some lucky guesses then (or maybe I'm just imagining things).

Anyways, I don't see how this can disappoint me, all I need is more Super Mario Odyssey info and I'm good!

(I would like some Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon info too though, god that game has had such a limp hype cycle)
 
Tharja getting the queen treatment.

She will be revealed during the iconic Fall Direct, while the other characters were revealed through tweets and low quality Famitsu scans.

Spot the difference.

He had too many things right to be a complete fraud, but he was trolling equal hard, so a lot of the game's mentioned probably are not true either, meaning we can't believe anything on his lists anymore.
 
I was always in control when it came to Amiibo... just went for my mains in smash (LittleMac was considered a hard to find early on) so Amiibo news are usually meh for me...


...but i'd be lying if i said i'm not hoping for Arms Amiibo, gotta get that Mechanica.
 
Nintendo employee identification card with a bit of hair visible for the mug shot (like you could escape from the ninjas leaving that evidence) is my new favourite fake leak validation technique.

It's gotta be legit guys, the card, THE CARD AND LANYARD.
 
Mario Odyssey doubles as a mario game and a sequel to Donkey Kong 64. In return, the games spot in the direct is replaced of a picture of donkey kong crying and sitting on a giant banana, saying 'please understand' in the DK Font, and the game is delayed and replaced with Ultra Smash Bros for SwitchDS/Switch/SwitchU. Travis is now in the game and every character starts with a smash ball and in Final Destinination, except the music is replaced with a rock/violin version of Darude Sandstorm. Btw BoTW gets a sequel called BoTW2: Electric Boogaloo- Samus Returns & Knuckles +10 amibo announcements.
 
All this Fallout talk is just setting me up for disappointment. I just know it'll be Fallout 4 instead of the New Vegas or, better yet, 3/New Vegas ports I need.
 
Fallout: New Vegas sucks.

If I keep pretending that I hate it and don't want it, then maybe it will actually happen! Pleasepleasepleasepleaseplease...
 
If the big reveal from this Direct ends up being more Bethesda trash, man...
I'm still going with Wolfenstein and Doom. They could also be part of Apple's event tomorrow. Is there a new Apple TV coming?

It's just not the right time for Fallout now that Skyrim is about to come out. Jason talked about ports, so what else is there? And Wolfenstein makes tons of sense, since the new one is coming out on other platforms.
 
Get ready for Animal Crossing... only on 3DS!

I do wonder what the really massive, flagship titles for 2018 are going to be. I mean Yoshi and Kirby are cool (and Yoshi is my boy for life on Mario Kart) but they're not exactly what you would consider huge, mass market titles. I wonder whether they are shooting for Pokemon in late November (possible as they said "more than a year" at E3 and that would be a year and a half). I agree that Smash is now likely to be a full Smash 5 later on. I think a port of Smash 4 at this point would have been a vast waste of development time that could have been spent making a proper Smash 5. I expect a lot more 3rd party poets in 2018 but still can't shake the feeling that they must have got some big first party hitters in the pipeline.

The FFVI rumors ORIGINALLY started when that one guy had got inside miiverse the day Wii U launched. There was a bunch of game some generalized as such simply called "metroid" and others were like, "final fantasy VI" that was in 2012.

New Vegas would be great. I bought it at a sale, but never had enough time to play it.
