I can understand all the doubt, but as I said, Nintendo is watching...and the chance to shut up all of the critics and skeptics in a single blow would be just as important to Nintendo as the big reveal. They've taken a LOT of heat this generation, and had to put up with the "third place" talk even though they are clearly kicking the shit of Microsoft in Japan.

To give it a sports analogy: When you ask someone to recall their favorite games, do they ever mention the blowouts? As much as it might be nice to see your favorite basketball team win by 30 points, the ones which are truly memorable are the ones where they were down 15 points going into the fourth quarter, and manage to win on a crushing, last-second three-point shot. It's the DRAMA which makes it great.

So, when you think about it, wouldn't playing this off as a joke, as fodder for Sony/MS fanboys, be the PERFECT setup?

No. Absolutely wrong. Get your sports right.

I was in a very pissed off mood before I read this thread (work-related mind you, not E3).

No matter what happens Thursday, this thread has lifted my spirits and put me in a good mood. Thanks a lot guys.

Nail on head.

A few quotes from yesterday's excellent "what can I say" thread from Drinky:

There's no call for a crucifixion. Near as I can tell -- although my take on this is quite a bit different from Johnny's -- Nintendo surprised a LOT of folks by removing content from their conference.

Could be. Might be the controller, at least. I still can't fathom why they didn't show it. Maybe they'd show the case as a teaser, and leak the rest out over the course of E3. Reggie's a showman, after all. At any rate, we'll see.

He has friends at Nintendo and this isn't his usual troll...

Yeah, we Nintendo fans tend to feed into the frezy of these megaton type delios time and time again till we get burned by our own flames.

This should be the the Nintendo's fans mantra..."There's no one to blame but me...I'm my own casualty" :lol

I really hope you folks aren't out to crush my heart. Ami, you wouldn't do that, would you?

WOULD YOU?

Who knows what to think at this point. I sure don't. All I know is that this E3 will absolutely go down as the most memorable one, for a multitude of reasons.

Looked like a PSP with a picture of a touchscreen on it.

It's too bad you all are so convinced Drinky Crow is Lucy and you're Charlie Brown. How sad will it be when Nintendo reveals their big news and all their fanboys have stopped believing enough to even try to kick the football?

You guys aren't worth your stripes.

IT IS THE 2D METROID FOR DS, RIGHT?

If nintendo does not show this at the show, they are one of the dumbest companies around.

Drinky is the best pro wrestling villian ever. Luring the Nintendo fans into a false sense of security.... and tomorrow we'll get the crowd-pleasing steel chair to the back of the head. :lol

Drinky has been drinking too much Nintendog urine. Just for this thread Nintendo should release Nintencats to destroy your precious PSP even more. :D

As bait, it's not really working very well. I think I've seen maybe one, two people take this seriously. Maybe as an observation on OTHER nintendo speculation the point of the thread is valid, but in and of itself, no one should be teasing "nintendo fans" tomorrow because of this thread. At least as it is now, imo.

If this is a real joke thread then yes. Awesome. But this is nothing compared to the ownage that is Johnny Nightrain.

What actually would be funny is they all were owned and something did happen, even though none of them know jack shit. :lol

:lol :lol :lol

Honestly this is going to be hillarious. If their isnt a Thursdayton he can slap all of the beleivers around endlessly laughing his ass off. If his BS turns out to be right he can goad even more nintendrones into beleiving a new rumor he can make at some point and then have even more people to slap around.

So either way Drinky wins.

This is almost as sad as the people that thought the first showing of Perfect Dark Zero was a fake so Rare could blow us away during the Microsoft conference. :lol

Well, this threads pretty much dead...

I'm torn. On one hand this thread was funny as hell. On the other hand I kind of wish the trolls wouldn't have jumped in and killed any believability that was there (although coming from Doug it still would have been a hard sell although the thread from yesterday was a decent set up). It could have been entertaining for a full day. Especially if it made the news on IGN like the Nintendo ON fake did.

I tried my angle and failed miserably. Oh well.
