Smash Bros. has never done this for like anything.
i don't know but he's talking about the unveil trailer, not whatever dojo crap is done afterwards.

Looking over his post, Star Tropics really does seem to be the one that determines his fate. All of his other tidbits are annoyingly vague and can fit a large number of outcomes. I see "maybe" and "possibly" all over the place. He claims there's a huge surprise, yet it might not be shown? They're already debating the release date for Zelda even when it's supposedly in 2015?
However, even if it is Star Tropics, I am reluctant to believe him. In my eyes, he would have just gotten lucky. You have to remember that he was essentially forced into claiming that Star Tropics was Retro's game. After his first post, someone dug up a recent post of his in which he speculated that Retro was doing Star Tropics (despite his claims not to spoil any surprises as a response to why he didn't reveal Retro's game). Therefore, he couldn't backpedal and say it wasn't Star Tropics. He had to claim that it was. It was his only option to get out of it without being caught.

As far as why he would go to such lengths after being on NeoGAF for so long, I'm really not sure. That's honestly the only reason I would believe there is some credence to his story.
Zelda/Tomb Raider from hearing about the game.

How many so-called insiders leaking info have we banned so far? Has there ever been 1 that actually leaked a bunch of info that's actually correct on Nintendo? I'm not counting minor leaks like DKCR.

I would be sad if they were assigned star tropics..
Such a waste of talent on such nostalgia driven IP.

What do you mean, it had 2 NES game. It would be completely rebooted, changing everything.
It would be treated as a New IP sans the name.
I always thought a StarTropics re-boot would be Nintendo's God of War-esque franchise, only T-rated. Just think, instead of blades of chaos...it's a yo-yo.
I've only played the game when it came out on the Virtual Console and I found it to be a good game.

Day one. Day fucking one.
I'm sitting here now with a bit over a day to go until my moment of truth/Gaf judgement day arrives. When someone is in my spot, you'd expect them to say they're scared shitless and nervous. Oddly enough, I'm not either one of those. I am calm, and confident in what I wrote. I'm still standing by everything completely and expect Tuesday to be redemption day for me.
I could elaborate completely on everything and leave everyone stunned. But, E3 for so many here is about surprises and I'm choosing to respect that. I could tell you the full titles for both 3D Mario and Smash 4 right now. But again you've all waited all year, and more patiently than in years past at that. You guys deserve seeing the titles of those games for yourselves, and the first trailers/footage of the games together as the reward for the wait and (mostly) patience. Ill say confidently here this is the E3 everyone's waited so long for. I could also detail and elaborate on both MS and Sony's pressers, but I won't, again because of the wonder of surprise. Without being super exact...brace yourselves really damn friggin hard for MS's presser in the morning and NO MATTER WHAT happens stand together as gamers that love their hobby. Stand up as a group and fight tor what you believe in and tell Microsoft NO. Sony's will be the stuff dreams are made of and after that presser is done, Microsoft will be totally irrelevant. Late tomorrow night will be an extremely jubilant party here after Sony. That's all I can say without turning up my hot seat I'm in even more.
This whole way through, I have been consistent and have not flip flopped on what I've said. I have been kind and respectful to all who PM'd me and I answered every last person who took time to write me.
During my time here on Gaf, I have used my account mostly appropriately and for the most part have treated most everyone here with respect. I understand what's at stake, and I'm definitely not trying to suicide or throw away my account. These Gaf accounts are hard to get!!
Finally, despite my personal love/hate relationship for this forum, it's been mostly love-a dynamic community with all kinds of opinions and ideas that I've not seen in very many places. That's what makes this place so great. Tuesday will speak for itself, Ill be okay. If any of my 500 plus posts have ever offended anyone, I sincerely apologize for that-that was never my intent.
So, with that, have a great E3!!! I wanted to get this post in before everything gets upside down crazy in a few hours.

At least reveal ONE NEW and not obvious character from SSB4.
Just wait. All will become clear (?) in two days.

I don't want to discourage leakers, but you said a lot of things that raise huge red flags. Mario Kart being a port of 7 seems extremely unlikely for a multitude of reasons. Your claim of release dates, like with Zelda, is something that I doubt even Nintendo nails down this early. Your claims about not wanting to spoil surprises contradict with your willingness to leak. Before your clarification (that was likely forced upon you), it seemed like you were trying to get away with vague predictions that could fit whatever was shown, like a low-rent psychic.
Good luck tomorrow.

Nintendo will release a new smash, Zelda and Mario for the Wii U in the future!

I really wish that Star Tropic is true but I just can't agreed with Baby Mario being playable character in Super Smash Bros that you leaked to other people.

We'll see soon enough. If he hits anything he should be fine I guess.
That, on the other hand...
That said, punching babies in a video game must happen!
No way in hell that's happening. New Mario you say, of all things?

Why doesn't this guy just pm his info to a of or evil lore so that when the reveal happens he can be verified?

I wouldnt like to be on the receiving end. I dunno who could be.
A mod who isn't interested in this information. I'm sure there's bound to be one.
Carlotta still standing strong, huh? Well then, so am I:

After E3:
there's not even a position to be in to know what will be in each company's presser content. that's the bullshit alert. trying to save face is cute yo.

What did he really say that was concrete?
Retro is doing StarTropics. - Honest prediction.
Mario Kart U is an up-port of 7. - Honest prediction.
The Smash Trailer will have silhouettes. - I guess this is an honest prediction, but really says nothing about the game. Easy excuse if they "show a different trailer."
X and Yarn Yoshi will both have trailers. - Honest prediction, but easy excuse if they "decide not to show them." Also the two games were already announced. It's fairly obvious they're going to be shown at the Direct.
Mario 3D is a big adventure, does stuff that fans want, and uses the GamePad. - Vague and will easily fit whatever they show.
One title for Mario 3D is "Super Mario Retroverse U". - Not verifiable. If they use another title, there's a ready-made excuse.
Zelda has the longest story. - Vague. How do you prove this? Not verifiable.
Zelda is looking for a happy medium between hand-holding and difficult. - Obvious. They do this for every title.
Zelda is a mid-2015 title at the soonest. - No way verifiable. The release dates won't be announced at E3, and release dates change all the time.
The Wii U will "possibly price cut" and "possible Ambassador Program 2". - Vague and indecisive.
"One final huge surprise." - Vague and meaningless.

Oh my, just come clean and tell us why you did it, false prophet! To keep hope alive in these dark days? I suppose everyone needs something to believe in...
You can still find redemption in this late hour! Tell us your story and go out with honor!
