In that case, you need to get me a job there once you're on the inside!

Myiamotos Personal Pikmin caretaker? ;)

They need alot of attention, those little buggers :)

[DefectiveReject]

I dont have tits to match Miss Cleos though... :( Maybe Iwata read the third thread and was like: "This ColdBlooder dude is so freaking intelligent and creative... Wii Entertainment System it is. I will hire him after E3!" :D

I'm looking for mine.
I called it that too a while back.

Just like I stated a few things not so long ago...

Didn´t read your prediction of the name. If its actually the name we will be the dynamic psychic NeoGAF Duo :D

EDIT: Use google and type "NeoGAF DefectiveReject Wii Entertainment". Should be enough.

Google does a MUCH better job in finding NeoGAF posts than NeoGAFs search feature..... :(

I am very, very good at caring for Pikmin.

Hell, I did a no-death run through Pikmin 2 one time.
(lots of resets, let me tell you..!)

If by chance DefectiveReject is wrong, can he be banned? I.e. if on April 26th, Wii U isn't renamed to WES, can he be banned? :o

You can't be banned for posting rumors or even making up rumors...

[Metroid Hunter]

Just wondering since I'm new here, but can't you be banned for posting fake news?

As in this rumour originated here (seemingly) and you said that it's an actual print screen.


Isn't that a bannable offence?

I remember reading a rule saying you can. Not sure though.

[ColdBlooder]

But can you handle the new Pikmin from Pikmin 3? They are called Retardmins. If they see something dangerous, they just scream and run twoards it like their on fire... ;)

Dude calm down. I came up with WES or Wii Entertainment System aswell when i thought of a name. But it was clear that it was just a wild guess from my part. I don´t recall anyone claiming to know this...

My claims.
Its a screen print.
It wasn't done with JavaScript
It wasn't done with Photoshop
and wait for it..... I shall confirm this tittilating FACT. I DID NOT play with nor edit the code on Nintendos website.

That is all I claim.

[GameplayWhore]

There is no way to absolutely determine that this was fake. The image, oddly misplaced on a software schedule page as it was, did not claim that the Wii U was to be given a new name.

And if it were, that doesn't mean that it isn't something they were considering but eventually decided against.

In short, relax.

So it's possible you just editted the page locally with firebug huh? :)

The important word in DR's response is "I".

New rumour about the upcoming Nintendo console!

Apparently, it has something to do with the name. :O :O :O

Man.. so, given natural selection and all.. how are those still alive?

If it is really called the "Wii Entertainment System" i will use this tag for sure :D

If it's really called the "Wii Entertainment System", I'd hope an admin namechanges him to DetectiveReject.

I absolutely guarantee Firebug was not used. Can you get it for Chrome???

And the word I is irrelevant in this case.

Are you me? The dates are wrong, but other than that

Nice, we're in the "G&W tided me over until I got my NES" club. 8)

[axisofweevils]

A site that you Go to for Nintendo news is reporting a silly name change rumour.....

[HylianTom]

I'd like your, erm, "special" Pikmin.. but maybe for unlockable bonus challenge levels. They sound really challenging.

[GameplayWhore]

Yeah, but they get credit for actually pretty much saying that it looks like BS.

[DefectiveReject]

Well its taken 4 of them for you to come in and post this.

Now you have we can stop

[Anth0ny]

As soon as that image was posted I went to the Nintendo.co.jp website and checked out the calendar. It said Mario Party 9. I didn't post immediately because I knew it was just a joke.

Lets drop it.

[GameplayWhore]

By the way, I wanted to thank you. I thought everything had finally slowed down, but in part thanks to you we easily blew past the 10% mark in under two days.

Nintendo. The cause of and solution to all of life's problems.

You're a bit late to the party. We dropped it like half an hour ago. Now we're just making jokes about it.

Sadly, this is what qualifies as "news" around here these days. And this is coming from someone who was asking excitedly if this was "actual news."

The 26th can't come soon enough. It'll make today look like a church picnic. Or a candlelight supper.

The webkit debugger is functionally equivalent to firebug, comes standard. But I don't have to tell you that :)

[woo and indeed hoo]

Wait, why the fuck has there been four of these?

Damage control.

Keeps most of the, um, enthusiasm in a single place.

Plus there is a smattering of interesting conjecture and speculation.

[Redford]

I <3 you Nibel. Those mock-ups were pretty much exactly what I was thinking.

Mind if I repost my controller redesign? Can't wait to see how similar (or not) it is to what's at E3.

Man.. so, given natural selection and all.. how are those still alive? "Oh my - a Bulborax! I think I'll go give him a hug!" {*runs over, begins embrace*} " Hi, Bul-" *CHOMP!*

CRAZY PEOPLE

[DefectiveReject]

I used NO debuggers. No firebug. No Javascript. No inspect element. I've not edited the Nintendo website in any debugger

[Anth0ny]

The only mockup:



ghetto assE3 STREAM IS HERE AND WILL BE STARTING IN TEN MINUTES!

[woo and indeed hoo]

Has anyone floated the theory that Nintendo might have deliberately put that up there just to see what reaction it got from the gaming community?

[udivision]

Okay, I admit it. I just changed what it said, you guys happy now? :p

Finally. Now let's move on already.

Has anyone floated the theory that Nintendo might have deliberately put that up there just to see what reaction it got from the gaming community?

They knew when to put it up and take it down so that only 1 person ever saw it?

It's not News.... It's the N-WES....

Actually NWES, they're the compass points... Could make for an interesting logo.

Do you really want me to spoil it for you?

Well, okay…


"Huh, chartz."

"Wow, more losses than we thought. Nintendo doomedlol"

"No way, guys, they're just moneyhatting every third party!"

"Oh, here it comes, Nintendo Network information!"

"What, they're renaming NN to Wii Entertainment System?"

"The fuck?"

"Well, individual accounts across multiple systems is cool, but we kinda already knew that."

"Okay guys, it looks like time to show off games!"

"…2D mario for 3DS"

"Nice screenshot"

"What, Iwata where's the video?!?"

"Ugh, jaggies! D:"

"Okay, ready for the next game!"

"Oh, talking about 3ds profitability"

"3rd quarter profit for the handheld divison, baby!!!"

"Okay, that's outta the way, let's hear about the Wii U!"

"Good, good, coming out this year. And...?

"Games...?"

"Wait, wtf?"

"Wat"

"That's it?"

"Conference over????"

"FUCK YOU NINTENDO!!!!!"

"Reggie lied, it's before E3 and no news! :'("

"Guys, did you hear about the Wii Entertainment System? According to Kotaku…"




There. Now you guys don't have to stay online for the investor's conference. I think I've actually given you a more optimistic summary than what you'll actually see.

[HylianTom]

Has anyone floated the theory that Nintendo might have deliberately put that up there just to see what reaction it got from the gaming community?

All kinds of weird, paranoid things float to the forefront of my mind.. but my brain-to-keyboard filter is usually pretty good.

[woo and indeed hoo]

They knew when to put it up and take it down so that only 1 person ever saw it?

Um, yes?

I haven't been following this little drama but deliberate leaks are not uncommon. Microsoft is notorious for it, for example.

[HylianTom]

Yep! They can do it several times until someone finally "catches" it and runs with the bait.

Remember: Nintendo has people online all over the place, ever-watching.

(naaahhh..)

Aww, man.. it's still very early in the year..

Stream is starting, GET IN HERE

[BurntPork]

I really wish that Nintendo stuck with the rumored Striim name. Everyone would have loved it.

[Plinko]

I really wish that Nintendo stuck with the rumored Striim name. Everyone would have loved it.

It's better than Wii U, that's for sure. I still think "Wii 2" would be perfect.

[AceBandage]

Was Stream ever a real name?
I know Project Cafe was, but I think Stream was just something someone made up based on the controller rumors.

[woo and indeed hoo]

It's better than Wii U, that's for sure. I still think "Wii 2" would be perfect.

Pretty much anything is better than Wii U but then I despise txtspk.

Wii Revolution would make me :).

Wii Entertainment System is clunky but still preferable to Wii U.

[axisofweevils]

Wow! Amazing name rumour!
