And the OT would be 4 pages long with half of the posts from the same 3 people.

Kotaku: It's Reckoning Day For Nintendo Switch Rumor Reporters

Yeah, BG&E2 isn't even remotely validated. She's alone on that front and the rumour has been revised twice:
Originally: In production, Switch exclusive, 2017
Then: In pre-production, Switch exclusive, 2018, teaser during the Switch reveal (after Ancel announced that Ubi had greenlit the project)
Now: Temporary Switch exclusive and maybe a teaser during the Switch media event (after the Switch reveal)
The lack of consistency sticks out like a sore thumb -- every single detail she's provided has changed at least once. I'll be quite shocked if the rumour is on the mark as it looks to me like she/her source has been evolving the rumour in response to facts that cast doubt over it.

It's astonishing how realistic this looks.
Unless they keep it the Switch off their developer portal long after launch (which would be incredibly dumb, since they need as many game developers on board as possible), we'll know all the gory details as soon as it shows up there.

Well this made me a lot more depressed than I thought I'd be on switchmas. Maybe because it looks so realistic.

More like its reckoning day for Nintendo. The only people hyping this event up are the hardcore fans. Just like with Wii U. And you already likely know more than will be shown because of these leaks! That means there is only disappointment to look forward to.
Mass media doesn't give a shit nor should they. Where is the hook for this device? The New Nintendo Switch, it's the Wii U you didn't give two shits about four years ago but now it's PORTABLE! Pre-order now!
Does that really sound like a recipe for massive success and hype to people here? Lower expectations. Don't even expect half the rumors and leaks to be confirmed.

It's going to be fine. I doubt they fuck this up.

Well as accurate as that picture looks, I guess it's a good thing that we all set the bar so low, yeah? I want Nintendo to deliver, but I can't remember the last time one of their presentations really did deliver--outside the initial Switch reveal. Crossing my fingers!
It's only gonna get worse.
This is amazing!!

Edit: lol Start sweating.
But even if they get some details wrong you can probably prove yourself by reporting another rumor that turns out to be true.

Oh my god the meltdowns would be glorious.
I sincerely hope you take up acting, if not already, your dramatics would serve you better there.

I think the Switch is too risky for him.
It's called concern trolling.

Nice, but it's missing a random bump of the Clash Royale OT.

Is is bad I thought this was completely real for a moment? The Metroid bit in that image is something I can clearly see Nintendo pull considering how tone-deaf they are regarding the Metroid IP.
Hope that is wrong but would be shocked if it was real. I doubt Zelda is pushed to the holiday season though; they need a big game for launch.

This is spectacular. I actually did a double-take.
I dunno theres two months to release. ANYTHING could happen.

i definitely did a double-take wondering if i'd missed a mass-posting of threads from people who bought into fake rumors that had then been purged. hahaha.

JUST NOW!!!
Oh shit he's leaking already!
That time I asked you last year if Mass Effect Andromeda was coming to NX and you laughed and said no. And then ended up being right.
Aren't you the guy that leaked that the switch is an alien made machine meant to help the aliens take over the world?
I'd be sweating if I were you.

People always trying to take you down man.
Yeah, there's also the time when she leaked that Grant Kirkhope is working on the Rabbids/Mario game because Grant tweeted about working on a secret thing. Which just feels like shoving in Grant's face that she can tell people about what he's working on earlier than he can. I'm not really a fan of game announcement leaks in general, but the way she sometimes handles these leaks especially bothers me.

"Is the switch dead already?"
That's depressingly accurate.
