I don't believe a list of folders on a computer as a leak. Come on now people. ANYONE can easily fake that.

Look at the Monster Hunter Generations leak, and then look at the European Direct leak.
The European Leak just so happened to have MH Generations in it, and then someone finally found the trademark for Generations.
I think its possibly valid.

SNES VC on 3DS is anything but disappointing.

And Star Fox Zero is due a trailer.

Leave all the megatons for E3.

While Monster Hunter Generations is giving it some validity.

Generations is just a generic enough subtitle that anyone could also just randomly put it together.

Honestly Generations and Resurrection are the two most commonly used subtitles in media.

Gamexplain and tama also view the source as credible, so as crazy as it is, it could actually be real.

Gamexplain and tama also thought I'd be maining Shovel Knight in Smash Brothers already. They can be wrong.

Am I the only one who still thinks this is fake?

We established during Sun and Moon that trademarking sites can be done by anyone. I can imagine people being trollish enough to get the domain for that.

Generations is not that easy to come up with.

The only time I've seen it used for games is for Sonic games.

Wait.

Are you saying someone could have seen the leak, made the trademark to support the leak to fool people?

That's possible?

Gamexplain literally has nothing going for them
Tama hasn't gotten anything right in how long now?
Fair point, I just stated more info, I don't think it's fully confirmed, but it at least is evidence. The trademark and star fox idea, seem to add to it.

Uh.... no....

That's not how trademarking works....

What makes you think this?

the trademarks are filed by Capcom.

Same way Sun and Moon's are by Nintendo.

Not just anyone can create trademarks for games, they need to be the company themselves.
Wait.

No.

Do I have to go down the list of "This guy may be trustworthy" leakers that didn't end up legit?
'Cause we've been through this song and dance so much it's not even funny anymore.

Well, my question about that trademark was when it was filed. If it was in the trademark database before the leak came out, the leaker could have just taken that trademark and added it in like it was nothing.

The only way it could give some credibility to the leak is if it was filed after the leak.

If it ends up being legit but someone else made the copyright before Capcom, how screwed would they be?
I don't think it's possible( there are laws and a strict process to going about this)

But if it did happen, they would be screwed.

They more then likely be jailed for fraud.

Also to add to sun and moon's trademark thing.

The trade mark was made by Nintendo but was not meant to be public. It was confirmed( from what I've read anyway) that an employee leaked and listed the trademarks early.

I know, but as I said in my other post, it's just something to add and consider with it. Never said it guarantees it.

That is what I'm saying and it absolutely is. It's literally almost as easy as making a content ID claim on Youtube. "Pokemon Gray" Is a particular example that comes to mind. A Half Life 3 trademark was made once that ended up being fake.

"Monster Hunter Cross/X" is the same thing as Generations in a lot of ways. Was the trademark even made by Capcom? And when was it made?

"The lack of my favourite niche thing is underwhelming" Seriously, GS would more likely get a game at E3
Friendly reminder not to expect everything

Not to mention it's a European Direct leak, so it won't contain the same stuff they US one will
Doesn't have to be E3 for a game to be announced. MM3D was revealed in a November Direct. Besides, theirs most likely going to be a heavy emphasis on NX stuff so having something like a new GS game would be better suited for a Direct before E3.

And this time I know better than to get my hopes up. It happened before in December and i'm not doing it again.

So. . .have we sourced when the copyright was uploaded and when the leak was posted yet?

We need to be thorough on this stuff. Even if it certainly looks real, the margin of error still exists as long as no one checks up on these details or posts what they find, and skepticism will continue to exist as long as the information isn't confirmed.

So a trademark adds credibility to that Windows folder picture?

Surprised when the exact same thing happened to a Direct literally days ago...
