what's this thread about

 

[Mobius and pet octopus]

Are we certain the streamer wasn't 3d printed but the switch is real?

They can't both be real.

"Please give me attention, please"

"Etika live reaction to Etika's Switch! The ninjas are at my door! Papa Sakurai help!!" was just uploaded to Youtube.

 

[Yawnny]

Gaf, you crack me up

 

[SURGEdude]

Sad. Bigly.

 

[JohnTinker]

I'm team fake, but the bezel on the screen in OP's image have thrown me for a loop. you can see where the inset of the display is/would be based on the way the light is hitting it. if it IS 3D printed (which I think it is) I'm curious to find out how they got that bezel in there looking so good

 

[Chorazin]

That's a good fake to even have the lights in the middle of the JoyCon, they're not there until they both snap in.....

Damn man. #teamreal

 

[Skittzo0413]

Unless I'm mistaken, the first picture shows Etika placing the JoyCons into the grip. We should definitely see it there as well.

Oh is that the part this picture is from? If that's the case then yeah, this is a very different shape for the joycin grip.

hello new meme

 

[Machina]

How the hell can this be 3D printed? There is actual glass on the screen of the unit with obvious finger prints.

[Ocarina_117]

Team fake.

 

[Wandering Robot]

If he really wanted to prove it real, provided it's not a dummy, he could power it up. ¯_(&#12484_/¯
I don't really think it's real, though. At least he's excited, I guess...

 

[Producer]

Whats this dude sippin on?

well this was also 3d printed

Okay that is grounds for getting sued.

I guess we'll never know either way. There will be virtually nothing different from what he showed and the real thing anyway.

 

[TLZ]

You. will. say. WOW.

 

[SinCityAssassin]

There is.

This one is fake

 

[Wandering Robot]

Perhaps. It'd nonetheless prove the point, if he wanted to risk it. ¯_(&#12484_/¯
That does make me wonder whether showing the thing at all is grounds for suing at this point, though. Like you said, we don't know 100%. I don't, anyway.

You add that after; it's a shell that fits around the screen

*sigh* No wonder people make fakes...

So many quotations.

 

[papertoonz]

no really what is the point of this
no matter what, either is a dummy unit or it's a fake 3d printed one it isn't gonna work
your all doing what he wants you to is talk about and give him free advertisement
like he his one of the most annoying people one youtube who over reacts the shit out of things and will make a video about the tiniest piece of content just for views
just ignore him

 

[Dacvak]

This is primarily why I think it's fake. The Joycon Controller seems to have thicker handles on the real one, whereas the one he plugs the joyscons into is totally flat on the back. Definitely seems fake based on that.

But I will say that that's a really freaking good 3D print if that's what it is. Like, really good.

Why? I don't know this streamer and wasn't impressed with the way he acted, but if he took the time to make a perfect replica, that's awesome and I have no problem giving him my views.

Most people aren't gonna start watching Etika's stuff if he doesn't appeal to them, and if he does, then they've found something new to entertain them. I don't see a major downside to allowing people discuss this.

 

[DarkGorgon]

This is the same guy who partially shared a picture of the device someone DM'ed him on twitter a few months ago

I can remember reading a thread on reddit about it

 

[KazenY2J]

JOY-CON BOYZZZ

 

[Coreda]

So did he ever turn the device on to show the display?

well this was also 3d printed

After a lot of manual effort went into sanding and painting the thing, sure. It's possible.

The timing of all of this couldn't be better. My dance crew was trying to come up with a fly name just yesterday.

 

[Imagine Wagons]

GAF, you got got

 

[Dremorak]

I like the way he makes sure its on screen for as little time as possible so that you cant get a decent look at it. Dammit Etika, you used to be cool....

 

[notaskwid]

Joycon kind of sounds like a sex toy name.

 

[AgeEighty]

Disappointed in you guys.

 

[lindseybp]

I mean the dead giveaway here is pretty basic......Nintendo would never give this moron a switch more than four months before release. It's as simple as that really.

I think the narrative is that he didn't get it from Nintendo themselves.

 

[Soul Beat]

Of course not. Because he can't.

I think the narrative is that he didn't get it from Nintendo themselves.

So....He bought it off of someone who stole it? Or stole it himself somehow?

 

[MarioHead3]

Probably something like the former. He has "friends" that were able to get him one early.

Also, if it isn't already apparent, I'm quite certain this is fake.

 

[hemo memo]

Nintendo right now

Ftfy

 

[fertygo]

btw is dude banned at twitch?

 

[NoFaceNico]

Isn't this the same guy who faked a freakout where he got a bunch of files with supposed upcoming NX games and some were first party Sony games or some shit?

 

[BreezyLimbo]

why would nintendo give a switch to some random youtuber rofl

 

[Pops Maellard]

So to everyone saying it's real, have you used a 3D printer before? If I had the disposable income and time to throw at it, I could make something that looks just as good as this, lights, bezel and all. It's really not that difficult.

 

[Arunotaku]

Looks a lot like a dev unit...

WiiU gamepad on dev unit did not looked like actual product since the release of the WiiU and it is a good sign to see people having those unit already

[Cuningas de Häme]

It is fake, colours in that thing are WAY OFF.

Eurogamer dude posted a still from that vid, clearly fake. Come on people.

Seriously guys, what's wrong with you?

If it would be real, he would power it up. Why show a dead unit?

 

[Hermii]

Fake or real, either way its impressive.

 

[Lemonte]

Maybe his uncle works at Nintendo.
