Lmfao, this is the perfect way to unveil the Switch live actually.

 

[purseowner]

I'm pretty sure Etika is 3D printed.

 

[Menitta]

 

[TheOnlyOneHeEverFeared]

Thats fake.

 

[Whales]

how the fuck did ETIKA get a switch? lmao

Oh boy what the hell did he drink to end in that state ?

 

[kvn]

wat

 

[notaskwid]

How will he be able to afford a suit for court, he doesn't even have a shirt.

 

[Mikey Jr.]

If that joycon thing is the real size, I think we might have the potential for worst feeling controller ever.

That looks terrible. Looks like it was made for baby hands.

 

[Mpl90]

Etika doenst give a fuck.

That looks even more 3D-printed than the console itself. I mean, look at the JoyCon grip, and compare it to the official one.

 

[L Thammy]

Wasn't he also posting bullshit NX rumours before the reveal?

 

[PrinnyBomb]

Obnoxious, clickbaity, fake and cringey

It's a streamer, alright

 

[brawly]

Joy-con grip controller looks small af.

 

[Sylverstone14]

#TeamFake

It's super easy to hoodwink people with a 3D printed fake like with the controller way back.

 

[j.rob]

I KNEW THERE WOULD BE A THREAD HERE.

THAT WAS THE MOST HILARIOUS STREAM.

 

[wideface]

Could be real.

 

[Anticol]

The controller looks shitty as fuck.

 

[CuckFupertino]

Is this what all Twitch streaming is like? I keep hearing that games journalism is dead, the future is streamers. Is this our (dystopian) future?

 

[BGBW]

Just look at the button labels of his example and then compare it to the photos we've seen of the real unit. The letters are brighter and larger. Sorry sunshines, but the science says it's fake.

It's our dystopian present.

 

[Garrett Hawke]

Sounds fake tbh

 

[mStudios]

He got it from Massive Entertainment

 

[KillerIsJed]

I'd just like to point out that being shirtless on Twitch is a bannable offense as a guy or a girl, unless they stopped enforcing it on men again, as I've seen two topless dudes recently.

 

[Plum]

If he doesn't give a fuck why not show the dock, show it playing a game, show the UI, at least something other than an easily faked main unit. Doesn't make any sense why he wouldn't, if you're gonna go out (as in, get banned from Twitch and blacklisted from anything Nintendo) like that might you as well go out with a bang.

 

[Spiral Insanity]

I love all the links, details, and clips from this event. Thread delivers.

 

[jmaine_ph]

This whole video is hilarious. Everything about it. Idek what to think anymore.

 

[Inumbris]

I'm going #TeamFake on this one.

It does look like a high quality unit, but like other have said already: no power-on, no buy.

 

[mStudios]

video gone o.o

 

[Familienoberhauptvogel]

I'd just like to point out that being shirtless on Twitch is a bannable offense as a guy or a girl, unless they stopped enforcing it on men again, as I've seen two topless dudes recently.

based on the heart that's the logo for youtube gaming I assume he was streaming on that platform.
Also based on that you can find pornographic material on YouTube I guess they are fine with shirtless.

 

[LuigiBlood]

It's fake. I've already seen a pic that's a bit closer, it's quite off from the real one, starting from the material, even the ABXY label that's quite off, but it's kind of a decent 3D printed Switch.

 

[Fancyarcher]

Yeah, it looks really fake to me.

 

[Lux R7]

nintendo ninjas just arrived

 

[CronoShot]

How in the hell would he even get that?

Must be 3D printed. It is well done though.

 

[NinjaCoachZ]

3d printed publicity stunt.

Etika's whole shtick is being the guy in class who always has to be the centre of attention.

 

[KojiKnight]

But did anyone compare the trees in the background?

Comment section lol

 

[MillionStabs]

Shit, that tweet was real?

 

[Blam]

lol its fake as fuck lmao.

For the record I am 100% team fake but even if it was real I doubt the OS would be anything other than a safe mode or dev build and he probably wouldn't have access to games anyway

 

[LordKano]

Nintendo right now

 

[oti]

Switch threads are the new MGS threads.

 

[True Fire]

#TeamReal

It's totally possible that Nintendo would hand them out to streamers... with an aggressive NDA/embargo.

 

[Nanashrew]

Could be a fake for sure.

Though I wouldn't be surprised if steamers do start getting them earlier than some folks with some strong NDAs.

 

[Jonneh3003]

A bit of a misleading title as this is very unlikely to be a real Switch. Also please can he put some shirt on...

Could be real though, I'm just doubtful.

 

[Shoori]

My boy Etika why you do dis!?

 

[Plum]

For the record I am 100% team fake but even if it was real I doubt the OS would be anything other than a safe mode or dev build and he probably wouldn't have access to games anyway

That's more than nothing. A switched on screen with an error message is a LOT harder to fake than a shell of a device we already have highly detailed shots of.

 

[Mellahan]

Etika posted this on Twitter a few days ago. The tweet is gone but I saved this:

That's too good to be 3D printed. Maybe he got hold of the version used for the trailer/promo? Weren't those just empty shells?

 

[purseowner]

Switch threads are the new MGS threads.

Nothing will trump the MGSV Doctor TED Talk conspiracy thread.

 

[MCN]

My 6'2 hands are screwed...

Your hands are 6'2? How do you wipe your arse?

 

[Bronetta]

If thats real and not 3D printed, wow it looks a lot smaller than the trailer made it seem.
