This has nothing to do with the Simpsons at all. What are you doing?

You've been playing at Nintendo "blowing us all away" for some time probably because you don't want to current rumors to be true.

The basis for your arguments seem to be that only Nintendo has the real information. The problem is, the moment Nintendo lets other people develop for the console (as in, send out dev kits) they no longer have all the information locked up. Sure, Nintendo could put out fake leaks but I doubt that's their MO. More than likely, our current knowledge of the NX is based on people who have seen/heard/used the dev kits and not just random speculation.

I'm onboard with the rumors. Once and awhile I like to change tune so we are not talking about the same things from one angle.

 

[georly]

Wouldn't it make sense to throw in confusing details that lead people to believe a completly false story?

Yeah, let me just explain to investors that we paid some of our employees money to spread false rumors for no benefit whatsoever.

What does Nintendo gain from this other than having a good laugh at a small percentage of messageboard/twitter users?

If investors are smart, they won't believe in a single rumour unless it came from the horse's mouth.

That letter is the laziest fake I think I've ever seen. It's either written by a child trying to sound grown up or by someone whose first language isn't English trying to sound official.

Either way, it's not written by the marketing or press department of Nintendo.

I think you missed my point entirely. Spreading false rumors is a waste of money. People don't like it when companies waste money.

In Nintendo's defense, would you want realistic looking letters to be floating around about NX? Kojima tried to make PT look like an indie so no one would compare it to his official work.

 

[Dark Cloud]

It doesn't matter who believes what. It's October in Japan. Eurogamers rumors are now wrong, thus meaning Emily, WSJ and LPVG are wrong too. We can begin speculation on what the NX really is.

It's a super high powerful console being powered by AMD. That's very innovate. Nintendo said they wanted to innovate and a super high powerful console with AMD backing makes the most sense for what the NX is. The hybrid theory is officially dead.

Guys, the letter is 100% fake. There's no point in discussing it.

 

[gafneo]

But it could cost Nintendo even more if competitors knew what Nintendo was working on.

You're probably gonna need to add a "/s" to that since some people won't see that it's obviously sarcastic.

Edit:

Perfect.

 

[mightynine]

I'm now hoping the NX announcement and/or reveal is done completely through Simpsons image macros.

 

[hoserx]

GAF is making me really sick of the simpsons. haha

 

[Vampirolol]

The console has to be named "Nintendo Steamed Shitposter 3000 ft. Moleman & Knuckles"

 

[georly]

Fake rumors is not the way you go about obfuscating your plans.

USS Entergaf, Captains Log :

A new day but still no news from Federation. Saddly the UBI chip fried Data's sense of reality, so he has developed a second personality,somehow it works because he thinks is a software developer that has secret info about project NX.

Some members of the crew have begun to draw some jokes with an old cartoon about yellow characters, I think will let them keep this behavior because helps to canalize their frustration.

On a few weeks we will be near ZONI headquarters, maybe they won't notice us since are busy about Romulian's ALACRAN project. My concern is that some members of the crew will decide to abandon USS Entergaf and go to ZONI base. Their PRO module is a reality and a great temptation. Even worse , I found La Forge downloaded a VR demo weeks ago , reported to Federation but no answer from them.

I can not loose loyalty of the crew, the would mean the end of our mission.

LOG TERMITNAED.....

Occam's Razor springs to mind dude...

 

[blu]

Ok, gaf, are you ready for October? ; )

 

[udivision]

Maybe just for future reference, let's just add poorly written letters to the list of things that need not be posted in these threads. Along with twitter accounts with no history of having any insider info. And indie devs clearly trying to leverage the NX interest by announcing games for it although they don't have dev kits. Okay?

NX is a holodeck confirmed.

 

[Avixph]

What if instead of announcing the NX, Nintendo announces that they're going third party after the holiday season?

 

[Skittzo0413]

What if the NX is some Lovecraftian nightmare creature that wants to slowly suck away our sanity by announcing it exists but never saying anything more than that...

Uh oh I think I'm on to something

I won't if that's an issue for you guys.

"Holodeck, show me NX"

 

[IntelliHeath]

If NX isn't revealed in October I will never post here again.


There, now you all have a bright side if nothing happens in October.

Here as this thread, right? Are you quite sure this thread is going to be alive by then?

 

[JoshuaJSlone]

Full-fledged Vita support, yo.

 

[Avixph]

Full-fledged Vita support, yo.

What's a Vita?

 

[marmoka]

Please guys!! Do not give up doing those Simpsons memes. They are all great!! You guys are the best!!

 

[Guevara]

That would be great too.

NX = Nintendo eXits the hardware game

 

[Avixph]

Hhhehehehehehehehe.

 

[purseowner]

Guys, I think I get it now.

We are supposed to make, develop for, and announce the NX.

 

[AmyS]

NX is too well protected from leaks.

 

[Avixph]

NX is too well protected from leaks.

That's because there's nothing to protect since it's vaporware.

 

[udivision]

I won't if that's an issue for you guys.

Your free to exercise your judgment on what you think is worth discussing, but keep in mind sometimes people will just be snarky and dismissive if the info falls into one of those categories.

I mean, that'll probably be better than Nintendo's reveal in any event.

 

[jmizzal]

It does kinda seem like Nintendo decided to do NES mini and Famicon mini PR for Sept at the last min. right at the end of the month.

They were gonna do NX reveal but once it got delayed to Oct., they pushed up NES mini stuff.

So Oct can be NX reveal month, and last bit of info on Pokemon

I would quit gaming.

Impossible to have worse music than that.

 

[maxcriden]

It's hard to think of more depressing non-human-related news in gaming. Not because I care about Nintendo games *not* being on other platforms, but because it would inevitably significantly limit the number and variety of games from them.

Watch the NX reveal show up in the form of a Nintendo classic edition instruction booklet.

The lack of a thread title update on all these Simpsons dubs makes this thread such a hidden gem.

Yeah, it'd change them for the worse, for sure. :/
