"Feel free to ask questions about what other Nintendo-related **** is on the way, I hate this job"

"Now that it's officially been announced and I've found a way out of this godforsaken company, I wanted to basically let you guys know what happens in Sakurai's video."

This feels way too suspicious.
It amuses me how there are so many leaks about Nintendo things that always have the employee hating the company.

I don't see that with Sony and X-Box based leaks.

That Mother 3 thing...
There seems to be a GBA emulator for the 3DS. Could have been that.

Seems there's a lot of undue hate for Nintendo. Look at all the "game journalist" sites like Kotaku, they publish a lot of thinly veiled "why won't Nintendo just die" articles.

For all we know it could just be another hack like with Twilight Princess.

Anyways, here's my E3 Nintendo Bingo.

Looks good to me. Remember to post it at the E3 bingo thread too.

Is this for real. :OOOOO
The picture is, i just took it, teehee. Not sure about Mother 3 actually being on 3DS though, that's why i posted it here.
That's a little suspicious. A Nintendo employee...from Ireland...in Boston?
Well, he didn't have the glowing pants, so i doubt he was a Nintendo employee. But you'd be surprised at the amount of overseas streetpasses i've gotten.
Someone did the same thing with Twilight Princess on 3DS.


Pretty sure this is fake.
It probably is fake. It's interesting to speculate nonetheless.

Here's some more gems from that guy

here will be a reveal of another few characters at E3 though one scaly, the other furry
Dong Baiting

You'd hate it too if you had to moderate the MiiVerse **** each and every day
That explains the hatred but raises more questions on where he got the info.

Only that Miyamoto admitted that the sticker system seen in SS needs an overhaul but insists that partner characters should stay out. He thinks that the one-off characters and partners distract from Mario's "heroic journey" and also thinks they are unmarketable (as-in, he doesn't see someone like Goombella ever appearing in Smash, since she's "just a goomba").

He has similar opinions on the Mario & Luigi RPG series
I think this guy is full of it.

The first leak is extraordinarily fake. I'm willing to believe the second just because I want Pichu back.

Pichu in Smash 4 would be coo--hilarious.
Mostly because Pikachu exists.

The second one is kinda believable. I think the three charachters from the ballot is realistic.

If you are getting a lot of International streetpasses, someone might have set up a Home Spot Pass station. I had one in my apartment for awhile. That's how I completed all those Mii Plaza games :D.

Also just wondering do abilities in Splatoon stack up? As in 2 of the same abilities would increase the effects even more.
Certain ones do, but each additional add on is less and less potent. Additionally, there's "caps" on them, meaning even if you have more of one, you won't get boosted any further.

Perfect.

You know, I've kinda missed seeing all these obviously fake leaks. There is something fun about debunking them.

Sorry I'm late, guys. Since the leak group is now an archive I figured I'd swing by here. c:

Anyway re:text leaks - I just generally don't trust leaks that give details of the video, let alone how long the video will be. I always get a kick out of reading them though :awesome:

Id like to point out one of those "leaks" randomly knows that greninjq a gets a buff. The dude is clearly referencing the nerf greninja joke and killing what non-existant credibility he had.

Also more fake wonder red leaks make me happy and sad at the same time.

Well, I just went onto Sakurai's full twitter page and found out he made a new tweet. So I'll translate it the poor man's way and use google translate. It's kind of interesting (I guess...):
June 14 23:40, we made a special program of "Smash Bros." after a long time. It will explain its contents to update the verge. I think you'll have to enjoy.
(Source: https://mobile.twitter.com/Sora_Sakurai/status/608074200096468993). Now there may be some mistranslations in there (because it's google translate :p) and some things reworded. Also @ PushDustIn PushDustIn , is there any way you could provide just a very little translation of it? I see people praising Sakurai as he seemed to possibly confirm something the translation couldn't provide. EDIT: What I mean by content is the possiblity of them covering just new content in general, not just covering the update distribution on Sunday. Sorry for the misconception XP.

I'm pretty sure that's just a reiteration of the "there will be a mini-event on Sunday where we will go over the update that includes Lucas/etc"

18 minutes of the direct is gonna be Sakurai talking about how detailed Lucas' hair is obviously.

The other 2 minutes are him showcasing miiverse posts. :troll:

the leak is fake but pichu is still a likely candiadate don't count the little guy out just yet
I don't mind all the vets coming back. Long as we get a good amount of newcomers. But those leaks aren't real. Like others have said the "I hate my job at nintendo" leaks have been done.

At least you Wonder Red fans didn't get a "leak" like this.
That was back when rayman was like my 3rd most wanted. I was there for the sadness too :( i spent a huge amount of time consoling the raymam thread after that.

YOU'RE MAKING ME VERY ANXIOUS ONI

I WILL MASH YOUR FACE WITH A SLEDGEHAMMER IF THIS IS UNTRUE DO YOU HEAR ME
I had a feeling you would get a kick out of that :p
