For every rumor from 4chan that winds up true, there are ten or more that were fake.
That's sort of the way of it.

What did Dale get wrong? I wasn't really following their reporting.There was some discrepancies with ER's claims. But there were several details that are correct or semi correct.
Laura Dale was way off the mark if I'm correct. Way off.
Yep, more reliable than GAF. War has changed.
I wasn't sure if the leak was real when I first read it (I was trending towards "fake" honestly), but it definitely felt more believable than most fake leaks, so I took it somewhat seriously. Fake leaks are usually really easy to spot, as they tend to be full of "fan fiction" type games like Metroid, F-Zero, Wave Race, etc. and they sprinkle heavily rumored games (like the Mario x Rabbids RPG) or already-announced titles to make it seem legit. This leak was full of stuff the average "leaker" would never even think to include, like ARMS and a freakin' Street Fighter II update.
So you just confirmed it will be on Switch?
shiiiiiiiit
But there is no reason to leak on GAF.
If right, nothing happens
If wrong, perma banned
And if you don't want to post definitive proof, which might bite you, the leaker in the ass, baaaan.
WHERE'S THE SUPERMAN GAME, VERENDUS?
You were non that specific ( outiside for things like ram and absence of nextflix etc ) though IIRC.
Would love to say more but can't really. Impressed that Nintendo felt it wasn't worth mentioning. Perhaps E3. I hear September target release date. Baffling what Nintendo chose to share the other day.
Can i ask you one thing? The game that is being remastered ( R *) is available on current gen console ?

Nah, makes sense. Zelda is the thrust of the reveal and Skyrim/FIFA was the upfront reveal since Skyrim was in the pre-reveal, and E3 is three months later.
Look at how Fire Emblem got a five second shot and then a direct after even though its a big IP for them now.
I don't know, it still was pretty baffling they didn't decide to show more.
The current message out there is that the third party lineup this year is worse than on WiiU...
Also Suikoden V and Xenosga HD.
Boy do the people that doubted that leak look dumb now. Oh. Right. Dammit.
someone is saying rockstar is remastering a game for the switch?
Of our regular twitter "leakers" Emily was on point for most part and continues to be so. Most of her info correlated perfectly with what we we got, and she didn't discredit the 4chan leak unlike others.
Y'all just didn't pay attention to me because I wasn't looking for twitter or YouTube followers, I gave GAF the straight dope and people all denied it. GAffers can't handle the real leaks is the problem.

And she added this:
Goes hand in hand with Vern's additions, and what the guest on RFN noted as well.
Interesting. would be nice if rockstar finally got shit going on a red dead redemption rereleaseYes Vern says 'a game that was on last gen consoles' So it could be anything from GTAV to Table Tennis.

Some of you are giving 4Chan way too much credit. It's constantly filled with fake bullshit. So how are we just supposed to take their "leaks" seriously when they are sitting in a dumpster.
As a huge SW fan we get fake garbage movie leaks every week that come from there
Why did CBoat get banned? He predicted like the entire E3 before it happened with the exception of Prince of Persia or something.
GAF insiders are too busy trying to get more twitter follows
This was the biggest shockerObe1 was also right on a lot of things too lol

Emily had the best track record IMO. Looking at the stuff on her blog:
https://arcadegirl64.wordpress.com/...-kart-for-switch-brings-a-mix-of-old-and-new/
Aside from the 16 new courses (which is possibly her source counting the DLC tracks as the new courses), everything else reported here (new battle mode, characters, first three months) is correct.
https://arcadegirl64.wordpress.com/...th-of-the-wild-will-not-be-released-in-march/
She initially thought Zelda might not be at launch. Upon checking with sources at NOA later, she changed her tune and believed that Zelda would indeed be launching in March. LKD's suggestion is that NOE was pushing for a delay due to EFIGS, but NOA and NOJ always targeted March and ended up winning out. So let's give this point to her.

Pretty much everything she said about the Switch hardware was correct.

Suggested one of the previously-reported Switch ports would not actually be a port, but Mario Kart would be. Splatoon was confirmed to be a sequel.

Doubted Skyrim would be a launch game. This was true.
That's just from the past few weeks because I can't remember what else she said earlier.
The only points against her at the moment, off the top of my head, are the MIA Mother 3, no female player in Zelda, and the new courses in Mario Kart (which might have been her source interpreting the bundled DLC tracks as new courses). But she believes the former is still coming. The latter is looking unlikely at the moment but some people seem to be holding out for playable Zelda. I don't think she commented on the 4chan leak. Her conduct was also the most professional of all the leakers imo.
LKD got some stuff right and was misled by some sources. I think she might have just been a bit overzealous in some cases but a lot of her info was legit.

What were the main things he said?
Edit: Actually went a skim through his videos(ugh) and the one thing he got wrong was the charge time for the Switch.
Why was Verendus banned? He was always positive the FF VII Remake was being developed, and that seemed impossible at the time, yet here we are.
What did he say about FF XV that made it obvious he was lying about playing it?he said a lot of vague bullshit too. i think the actual straw was when he lied about playing final fantasy xv

We already knew this. I really don't think it's worth taking up another thread just to post Kotaku posting what we already knew.
I love that you just have this post handy.
Yeah, GAF probably got a little overzealous lately.
It is video games rumors. Not the nuclear launch codes.
