lol @ the Metroid f2p reply count

And the OT would be 4 pages long with half of the posts from the same 3 people.

The thing is that she's actually been shaky on the BG&E news. For example, when she first reported it at Destructoid she said that it was an exclusive that was being funded by Nintendo. Now it's a timed exclusive. That's a rather big shift from being a Bayonetta 2 situation to being more like Rise of the Tomb Raider.

Yeah, BG&E2 isn't even remotely validated. She's alone on that front and the rumour has been revised twice:

Originally: In production, Switch exclusive, 2017
Then: In pre-production, Switch exclusive, 2018, teaser during the Switch reveal (after Ancel announced that Ubi had greenlit the project)
Now: Temporary Switch exclusive and maybe a teaser during the Switch media event (after the Switch reveal)

The lack of consistency sticks out like a sore thumb -- every single detail she's provided has changed at least once. I'll be quite shocked if the rumour is on the mark as it looks to me like she/her source has been evolving the rumour in response to facts that cast doubt over it.

 

[MetalSlug]

What time are we going to find out the price of the Switch?

 

[GoldandBlue]

It's only gonna get worse.

Way to spoil the whole show.

 

[Principate]

It's only gonna get worse.

It's astonishing how realistic this looks.

 

[M3d10n]

I don't know how much of a "reckoning" on technical specifications you'll really be able to have after today.

Knowing Nintendo, that will only be truly possible once either the dev documentation leaks, someone takes a microscope picture of the die, or the system is hacked.

Unless they keep it the Switch off their developer portal long after launch (which would be incredibly dumb, since they need as many game developers on board as possible), we'll know all the gory details as soon as it shows up there.

 

[Mortemis]

It's only gonna get worse.

Well this made me a lot more depressed than I thought I'd be on switchmas. Maybe because it looks so realistic.

 

[sixteen-bit]

It's only gonna get worse.

lmao

 

[GlassAwful]

More like its reckoning day for Nintendo. The only people hyping this event up are the hardcore fans. Just like with Wii U. And you already likely know more than will be shown because of these leaks! That means there is only disappointment to look forward to.

Mass media doesn't give a shit nor should they. Where is the hook for this device? The New Nintendo Switch, it's the Wii U you didn't give two shits about four years ago but now it's PORTABLE! Pre-order now!

Does that really sound like a recipe for massive success and hype to people here? Lower expectations. Don't even expect half the rumors and leaks to be confirmed.

 

[freeofgreed]

It's only gonna get worse.

lmaoooo this is killing me.

 

[Hoo-doo]

Who the fuck takes SuperMetalDave seriously on freaking anything. This article only serves to legitimize him as an insider.

 

[Kenzodielocke]

It's going to be fine. I doubt they fuck this up.

 

[Kebiinu]

It's only gonna get worse.

Well as accurate as that picture looks, I guess it's a good thing that we all set the bar so low, yeah? I want Nintendo to deliver, but I can't remember the last time one of their presentations really did deliver--outside the initial Switch reveal. Crossing my fingers!

 

[Galang]

It's only gonna get worse.

This is amazing!!

 

[Coma Ecliptic]

It's only gonna get worse.

But I don't get it, where does this fit in with the Adult Link Timeline? Is it canon?

 

[Altered Juice]

nervous

Edit: lol Start sweating.

But even if they get some details wrong you can probably prove yourself by reporting another rumor that turns out to be true.

..............What the hell are you talking about?

 

[kswiston]

Turns out Nintendo will change everything because of the rumors.

Switch is cancelled. They are all about making cup and ball toys now.

 

[AzaK]

It's only gonna get worse.

Pure gold

 

[Frodo]

Its time this madness finally ends.

Do you even know NintendoGAF?

EDIT:

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Super Metal Dave already died for his sins.

Oh my god the meltdowns would be glorious.

I sincerely hope you take up acting, if not already, your dramatics would serve you better there.

 

[munchie64]

Can't wait till it turns out everyone is right!

 

[dangeraaron10]

..............What the hell are you talking about?

I think the Switch is too risky for him.

 

[sanstesy]

..............What the hell are you talking about?

It's called concern trolling.

 

[Reversed]

Re: pic

BGE2 and Pikmin? Sold regardless.

Federation Elite though, lol.

 

[TangoAlphaLima]

It's only gonna get worse.

Nice, but it's missing a random bump of the Clash Royale OT.

 

[Polygonal_Sprite]

Thankfully some of these peoples five minutes of fame are about to be over.

 

[RK128]

It's only gonna get worse.

Is is bad I thought this was completely real for a moment? The Metroid bit in that image is something I can clearly see Nintendo pull considering how tone-deaf they are regarding the Metroid IP.

Hope that is wrong but would be shocked if it was real. I doubt Zelda is pushed to the holiday season though; they need a big game for launch.

 

[LordRaptor]

Mass media doesn't give a shit nor should they.

LMAO.
This time tomorrow I know what news event is going to be dominating gaming news cycles.

 

[shinobi602]

Godspeed Shinobi

When have I talked about the Switch?

 

[Magnus]

It's only gonna get worse.

This is spectacular. I actually did a double-take.

 

[Kathian]

Its time this madness finally ends.

I dunno theres two months to release. ANYTHING could happen.

 

[fredrancour]

i definitely did a double-take wondering if i'd missed a mass-posting of threads from people who bought into fake rumors that had then been purged. hahaha.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

When have I talked about the Switch?

JUST NOW!!!

 

[Vena]

When have I talked about the Switch?

Oh shit he's leaking already!

 

[10k]

When have I talked about the Switch?

That time I asked you last year if Mass Effect Andromeda was coming to NX and you laughed and said no. And then ended up being right.

 

[Mortemis]

When have I talked about the Switch?

Aren't you the guy that leaked that the switch is an alien made machine meant to help the aliens take over the world?

I'd be sweating if I were you.

 

[LegalEagleMike]

When have I talked about the Switch?

People always trying to take you down man.

 

[TimmiT]

I like Emily, but Laura's / excessive / bragging about seemingly every little thing she leaks is getting old. Your source, that you trust enough to post about, told you information that turned out to be legitimate... Like, what is reporting?

Yeah, there's also the time when she leaked that Grant Kirkhope is working on the Rabbids/Mario game because Grant tweeted about working on a secret thing. Which just feels like shoving in Grant's face that she can tell people about what he's working on earlier than he can. I'm not really a fan of game announcement leaks in general, but the way she sometimes handles these leaks especially bothers me.

 

[ieptbarakat]

It's only gonna get worse.

"Is the switch dead already?"

That's depressingly accurate.

 

[Gator86]

It's only gonna get worse.

This is amazing and basically what I'm expecting.

 

[silva1991]

And the OT would be 4 pages long with half of the posts from the same 3 people.

Lol.

 

[demosthenes]

Wait, this is tonight? Thursday? I thought this was Friday?

 

[FearMyWrench]

It's only gonna get worse.

this is horrifying and believable

 

[robotrock]

Jason Schreier it will be reckoning day for you whenever WB Montreal decides to announce that Damien Wayne Batman game you think exists

I find this article hypocritical

 

[butman]

It's only gonna get worse.

It look so real.

 

[neoemonk]

We will know who were fakes for attention and who were real.

I have my pitchfork ready.

More of a torch guy myself but I think we could probably work well together.

 

[Altered Juice]

Wait, this is tonight? Thursday? I thought this was Friday?

Time zones. This starts at 11pm today over here
