It's nothing major, she just said:
"The NX will build a better library in one year than Wii U built in four years. Good night everyone."
Who said it never came to be? More like it hasn't come to be yet. Wait for E3.

Doesn't mean it can't still happen. At least wait until E3.
Thanks!
We'll see. Not that I doubt her but I've heard that one before...
Yeah but she definitely seemed to imply it would be talked about on the march 3rd direct.
Least I could do!
For those wondering, I think Emily protects her tweets because she's had some serious issues with harassment and all-around fuckery in the past. Pretty sure she does it to avoid as much of that mess as possible.
She also leaked Paper Mario for Wii U, so she's 50/50 at worst. And like the Paper Mario leaks, we have others backing her up.
I bet we'll see Mother 3 soon enough as well.

I heard the whole same thing four years ago with the Wii U.

I followed her Twitter and rumors, and I never had any expectations for when Mother 3 info would be released. Are you sure she actually suggested that? I also wouldn't be surprised if Nintendo switched up that Direct. IIRC, Bill said something in it that referenced the leak—something like "there are still surprises"—so it's possible they made some changes. (Then again, I don't remember when the leak was, so maybe there wouldn't be enough time for any changes to be made.)

It's actually not from Rosti. I'll have to look up which rumor it was, but this rumor was about two weeks ago. I know it's hard to keep up with all the rumors lol.
Not positive it was her, could have been a game of Neogaf Telephone.

I can see Mother 3 being announced on April 20th which is the game's 10th anniversary.

You can easily build a better Nx library than WiiU by porting every worthwhile WiiU game on the NX, which means jack shit to me.

I want to believe.
That's not so much a leak but a belief. I have the same belief too in large part having a shared library. Me, her, Jimmy were talking a bit about that stuff over Twitter. She'll have a write up some time next week about software choices.
But that's not gonna happen though, so the implication is either some new 1st party titles and/or major third party titles. At least that's how I read it.
I'd be happy with either, but the first option is far more likely, of course. I guess that's kind of obvious too however, the NX isn't gonna launch with nothing but ports.

Yawn.

Even if she did, that doesn't mean it wasn't going to happen and Nintendo just decided not to announce the game then. Not the first time Nintendo has pulled an announcement.

I could easily happen. First of all because the WiiU lineup is pretty damn lame and second because in theory a new Mario, Zelda and Metroid can all happen in year 1.
Nowhere did she suggest it would be shown in the March Direct though.

Says nothing about being in the March Direct, though, which was what the post you quoted was referring to.

That means nothing.. and I like emily. I just dont think that tweet mean anything at all
I think she's very credible as a leaker and I'm convinced we'll see Mother 3, but that last tweet is simply an opinion, so keep expectations in check.
Like, for me the Wii U library is better than the Wii's! The Wii was a disappointment to me while the Wii U has delivered several of my favorite games of the HD era. It's not a great piece of hardware and a sales disappointment for many other reasons but that library talk sure is subjective.

Who is j peter man?
Yeah, it's probably nothing to be honest. But it's too late for me, the hype train has already left the station.
Save yourselves
_/¯Why did anyone expect Mother 3 to come before E3? The past couple of years Nintendo has teased or released Mother at E3. History will repeat this year, and Mother 3 will be released on the Wii U VC.

Right. If Mother 3 doesn't show up in 2016 and not in 2017 either (in case it gets delayed), then I would say that Emily might have been lying. I just don't think she said anything about Mother 3 that can be seen as false yet or proof that she's inconsistent. There might be other rumors that better make that case, as I don't remember her history.
Yes, this is what I meant.

Also, progressively moving your Wii U titles to NX would do that too. Hurting a system you are giving up on to help your future sale to happen.
Impatience.
A two ride to Mother 3 at E3 is kinda insane.
Especially when you consider they've put more time and effort into that franchise this gen than Metroid.

E3 can't come soon enough.
I mean, you get a few key ports, have some of the Nintendo teams we haven't seen in a while show up with games (Mario team, Retro), and get a passable level of third party support and you're most of the way there.

If I recall correctly (and this was years ago, so I might be mistaken here), her reputation was really bad leading up to the Wii U launch, with several high profile false rumors. It wasn't until sometime after that that she got actual sources and became fairly reliable. I don't think she's ever really been wrong since she started being right, though.
Guy's she said this exact same thing to me and several others in the convo on Twitter which was part of a bigger discussion about how Nintendo might handle their software and shared library.
I don't doubt she may also have other information, but this is more her belief and not some leak. She'll have an article up some time soon about Nintendo's software choices. It could even discuss the wrong things fans are asking for too, like a 100% shared library as it would make things redundant and boring since this isn't the disposable smartphone market.

Microsoft had their Xbox One reveal on May 21st, 2013 (around there), hardly a month before E3.
So Nintendo doesn't necessarily have to reveal something in April.

This. Plus it's not that hard. Relatively speaking, Wii U had a real dearth of software. High quality, but the quantity was terribly low. She's probably talking purely numbers, and in that case, that's hardly impressive.
Let's actually see what those games are first.
What if she has some info, and the belief is strengthened by that info? Like, she doesn't know what games are coming out, but she knows something specific about the NX that isn't publicly known that makes her think that it'll have a stronger library than the Wii U within a year?
I feel like I'm speculating too heavily about vague tweets, maybe I shouldn't have posted that.
She could, but I feel that's going overboard... I'd personally wait for her article.
