Nintendo said it isn't a hybrid. This rumour is strongly implying it's a hybrid

That title is reserved for tama. From what I remember, at least Emily doesn't weasel her way out if wrong, not to mention she says 'RUMOUR!'
To be fair, Emily has a worse record then Tamaki and is NEVER called out on it. Remember when she said she would leave the internet if her Wii U rumors were wrong? And then proceeded to delete the site she made all those posts on. (You can still find it on the wayback machine).

The leak didn't even come from Emily Rogers. . .it's from Eurogamer. . .
:061:
Emily was quire adamant on the fact that the NX would not use AMD arcitecture or be more powerful than the PS4. If this rumor holds true, then her predictions were correct on that account.

I guess maybe people confused it because she said there would be NX news soon.

Her latest leak was that the NX "looked expensive," wasn't it?

And this one came from a different guy and then the news site put something up.

Am I remembering the chain of events correctly?

Wait a minute, why are we talking about Emily Rogers again when she got more than enough things wrong in the past?

Was unaware of that. Still think Tama's worse
In no way am I saying Tama is reliable, by the way, just pointing out Emily gets more credit then she deserves for some reason.

She straight up posted FAKE Endless Ocean and Pikmin 3 images as a leak back in the day.

Johnny being the best person alive again

Also we have an explanation
There was a problem fetching the tweet
Here's a NeoGaf thread and his Twitter account for more info about it.

An accident with the host's girlfriend happened during the stream, which caused some more troubles.

I feel really bad for the people working on the stream. They obviously tried their best with the stream. Major respect for them pulling through.

y'know, I've been wondering. Does anyone genuinely enjoy Ice Climber for the NES?
I actually played and enjoyed that game as a child, but i really feel no reason to go back at it. It's a fun little distraction, but it's not an NES game that i find myself comin back for more fun.

If i wanted an Old School Arcade-like NES game from the "Action" series, i would prefer Balloon Fight, now THAT's a personal favorite of mine (did i meantion that i love Balloon Fight?)

How about if we Mod Alucard from Castlevania into Smash? We can use Lucina as a basis.

Looking on the NeoGaf thread for the leak and everyone is 100% assuming the new leak is true.

. . .That just makes me think it's more likely to be fake. All the real/high accuracy gaming leaks like Greninja, Gematsu, ESRB, etc. had varying degrees of skepticism. Meanwhile the old NX controller leak had 100% acceptance from nearly everyone and that was fake.

Plus people have confirmation bias on this since so many people have been saying it already.

I'm not going to completely dismiss the possibility, but the more people think this is real without better evidence than the kind of leaks we've been getting already the more I'll think it's probably fake.

*EDIT* Yeah there are tons of people on that topic going "WE WON" and "LOOK AT ALL THE PEOPLE WHO ARE EATING CROW NOW!"

The level of confirmation bias here just passed Neptune.

Unlocked Classic Sonic in Sonic Dash while I listened to the GameXplain discussion about the NX.

I now have the three most important iterations of Sonic.

Apparently Nintendo's stocks went down after people discovered Nintendo didn't make Pokemon Go

The rumored NX is fascinating! If it works how I imagine, the portable and home departments of Nintendo's dev teams could be consolidated into a veritable software making machine! The only catch is, I can't really picture the device in my head. It seems like the handheld would be somewhat bulky, to accommodate the tech. The bookend controllers would likely be somewhat reminiscent of an NES controller; simple, small, likely just an analog stick (maybe two) and face buttons. It'll be interesting to see the NX's proper reveal and see how accurate Eurogamer is.

EDIT: Wait. Portable Breath of the Wild?

*Dozens of NeoGaf topic pages read later*

OK, does anyone have any idea who the sources for Eurogamer's article are?

Because 10K had "several sources" and it was mostly just various people on Twitter parroting common rumors.

Something makes me feel uncomfortable about the fact that the sources on this leak are going completely unexplained and undiscussed. Do you think someone here could explain to me why the sources are being believed?

I don't even have too much of an opinion on the idea of a hybrid, I just want to know why people are so confident that this is real in case people are getting ahead of themselves.

So, I was looking through the Hound(whose gimmick is to summon a hawk or a wolf(also called hound ingame) during battle) skills in EOV and...
"Ice Peck
Type: Active
Deals ranged stab damage to all enemies. After that, the Hawk will attack all enemies with ranged ice damage."
I don't know if this was intentional or not but I'm using a Hawk!Hound just so I can name its Hawk Pet Shop

No because saying who your sources are tends to mean your sources get ninteninjad

Because unlike 10k, Eurogamer is allegedly an extremely reliable source being backed up by others

Huh. The underwater bottles in aquaria towers, however do break if they aren't underwater. I wonder if that is level specific or a property of the water.

Alright. Reliable's good, I just still don't know with what yet. What's their track record?

I want to have an idea of what they've gotten right before I settle in with anything.

FYI, Eurogamer were also the ones to host that interview with Shigeru Miyamoto where Pikmin 4 was confirmed and Galaxy 3 was...soft-confirmed?

Have they leaked anything from Nintendo before?

Well, that's not a leak, that's an interview. That doesn't tell me what their record is in getting information under the table, although they did a fine job getting some over it in that case.

I probably sound a bit annoying to everyone right now but I'm clueless as to the average leak source and I want to make sure everything's golden before I accept something unannounced as near-fact.
