This is about as disingenuous as you can get.

Yes lets shit on the few insiders we have cuz we didnt get enough dessert at the dinner table
Yeah major disappointment if so.
Yeah but it's concerning that she gave an indication either way.

I prefer my Insiders to have accurate information.
At any point, I'm done discussing it. It would just be nice if the vague and misinformed teases would stop.
Edit: The guy below me gets it

I think that while a leaker may have their info validated ("zelda article on GI"), you should always be careful on how you extrapolate that, i think liam got some things wrong not because he got wrong info, but because he extrapolated on that, and i think that nate did that too. You have to be very careful on how you pass your info. If he said "It seems like there will be an article about zelda on GI this week, don't know if it's new or not", i guarantee that there would be no backlash against him.
She also said Zelda will come out in June and had to back peddle on that, so she isnt always right, just like all insiders.
I just cant see Nintendo revealing a new system in Japan and not showing off Japaneses heavy hitters.
If the event was in NA, I would not expect it

Do we think she has the majority of the Jan 12th announcements pegged by now?
Seems to just getting the western info for the most part which makes sense since thats what her sources are
Whats her track record on reporting JP dev info?
isn't it zero?
True, but I don't find his extrapolation ("A Zelda article, might be interesting!") to be far fetched by any stretch of the imagination. It actually is a little strange imo that they have a preview of Zelda in the February edition that contains no new info from later than december. I personally can't fault him for this mistake.
Depends if any Japanese heavy hitters are actually coming, outside of the DQXI port.
Well she's reported on Dark Souls.
I'd hope no one has most of the announcements pegged otherwise there's very little being shown.

yaaaaay
....too bad I live in Brazil =P
But I do have a friend in toronto so lucky him I guess
Any other Brazilians who would like to share their invite?
Nate hasn't proved with anything yet that he's reliable as an insider. More so now he doesn't want his tweets to be a topic here, so I think that's like an official retirement from the insider status anyway. Anything that he says is just speculation, nothing more.

Because it's new handheld gaming hardware that isn't dogshit. What else would it be?

Because its the new Vita
Well I definitely hope you're right!
Will it get all the games though? That's the lingering question.
It's a powerful, one screen handheld that seemingly concentrates on console games on the go. In that respect it's probably more similar to Vita than 3DS.
Only if you know all the leaks
All I want to know is release date, price and whats in the bundle first
Then I want to see what 3rd parties are on board this year
I know Nintendo will deliver

Can I still complain and call Doom on Nintendo?

I see no reason that Japanese third parties wouldn't move over to Switch, and the same goes for indies. I think Vita devs should have a fine new home on Switch.

Slightly overhyping something cool... We need his head on a platter!
...As if Gaf wasn't getting excited about every little thing anyway. He just thought a preview was gonna be more exciting than it ended up being. That's not a stain on his track record. Eurogamer, Emily and Laura don't know every detail about what they're reporting either. NateDrake just posted a tweet. It's not like he made a thread on Gaf with a title in all-caps. Some of you are getting a little crazy. Stop hitting refresh. Take a deep breath. Go outside for a bit.

*people who have insane expectations. Yep, you're right on that one. I've been sold for quite some time now, so I'm just interested in seeing the launch games and OS. Anything else is just gravy.
Let's hope it will have more interesting games then.

But that guy on here the other day said a Doom port was coming...The chances of Doom on the Switch aren't that high.

I'm starting to get anxious that Nintendo is gonna fuck this one up in a spectacular way. Only launch title worth buying is Mario (still enough for me), no real roadmap of releases for the rest of the year, base launch price of $299, region locked... All of these are likely of course. I just hope they don't happen!

So You mean it won't get MH?
Dammit I should have known this random post from 4ch was right

Yeah, not a fan of the comparison to the Vita to be honest. I get that it's because of the hardware (and I guess potential for Vita games to be ported over), but man, whenever I want to feel hopelessly depressed I just think about the Vita library and presto! I want to curl up and die.

I was trying my best to be as measured as possible in my criticism of Nate to avoid the "take a deep breath" comment lol. I think some good points have been made and he could use them to improve the way he relays his informations.

U-S-A! U-S-A! U-S-A!
So's your face.
The same would be applied to 3DS, it had way more sales than Vita to attract 3rd parties yet those same devs choose Vita.
Folks, Rob means the Vita comparison positively
For a second I felt really dumb for forgetting Seven Stars. Thanks.

Because their games couldn't run on 3DS. It won't be the case for the Switch.

It could be because of the hardware just like how Vita developers are moving to PS4.
Huh?
EDIT:
People argued the same thing for PSP devs to move to 3DS five years ago to be fair.
Vita devs could easily make the transition since it will be the only handheld on the market. And it's not like we don't get booby games and such, just not in the over abundance that Vita does. And Monster Hunter clones could find their way to the system and maybe get some of the MH audience since it will be on a platform they own.

Not the same situation. 3DS hardware wasn't there. Switch hardware is.
Seven Stars is the subtitle for Conception 2 on 3DS.
3DS also gets Senran Kagura, and the guy is even invited to the Switch event as well.
