I thought this deserved its own thread simply because of the effort that went into this thing:

In the video, GAF member kankki describes how he used his 3D printing lab to construct an elaborate fake.

Well played. In the age of 3D printing, this serves as a reminder not to believe in things.

1.21Gigawatts · Mar 25, 2016

This is amazing. I wish I had a lab like that.

Stiflers Mom · Mar 25, 2016

Simply Amazing...

oti · Mar 25, 2016

Nyx · Mar 25, 2016

Trolling at it's finest, well played.

Possumowner · Mar 25, 2016

Wow...one of the best fakes ever.Well played,well played

Messofanego · Mar 25, 2016

Impressive as hell, good job kankki

Makonero · Mar 25, 2016

I wasn't convinced by the first fake, but this one made me a believer.

Good work!

ThePeoplesBureau · Mar 25, 2016

Well played. Showing the process is a smart move as well. A sobering reminder to trust nothing!

TheLegendOfMart · Mar 25, 2016

Didn't realise 3D printing had got that precise. Crazy shit.

Pinky · Mar 25, 2016

kankki, you are a magnificent son of a bitch.

BGBW · Mar 25, 2016

At least the trees are real.

I said it in the other thread, he should get a tag for the amazing job he's done.

Trust nobody.

klier · Mar 25, 2016

Incredible. Just incredible.

TheJoRu · Mar 25, 2016

This shakes the entire foundation of NeoGAF. How will we ever be able to "BELIEVE" again?

SatoAilDarko · Mar 25, 2016

Excellent.

Well done.

Gave me some worries.

tilomite! · Mar 25, 2016

That really is impressive. Fakes have come a long way.

Kiru · Mar 25, 2016

dem trees...

shibbs · Mar 25, 2016

Great job kankki, you had me!

Dystify · Mar 25, 2016

Look at his post history prior to admitting to being the leaker.

oo7 · Mar 25, 2016

We need to go deeper. What if his 3d printer is a fake.

dont you mean 'random shit on the internet'?

Gotta say I don't understand the reverence for this guy. :shrug:

edit: and pretty sure he trolled like 3 dozen people not 'the world', lol.

AngryMoth · Mar 25, 2016

Good work haha. It's all in good fun.

If that isn't tag worthy, I don't know what is

Dmax3901 · Mar 25, 2016

Incredible. What a time to be alive.

Kyoufu · Mar 25, 2016

I'm wondering why someone would go to such lengths to create a fake "leak". What a waste of time.

Sendou · Mar 25, 2016

Good job trying to contain the leak Nintendo. I just never thought you would go as far as creating a fake fake leak. Well I'm not buying it.

Sanctuary · Mar 25, 2016

This would have been even more impressive had this been done next Friday.

Tregard · Mar 25, 2016

This all feels like an episode of behind the magician's secrets

alpha69 · Mar 25, 2016

I'm just glad it's fake because SCREW NO PHYSICAL BUTTONS

Well, these fakes did give us one of the best threads ever.

best misdirection

I just find it weird that if someone went to the trouble of making such an elaborate fake, they would let it down on a sticker.

You could argue it's a social experiment to see what insane lengths GAF would go to see if something is real. Case in point, just look at the insanity in the thread, mainly #TreeGate

baphomet · Mar 25, 2016

Sick setup dude!

ConceptX · Mar 25, 2016

Legendary.

Appreciate the effort explaining how he did it, a lot of people would just leave it.

Linkstrikesback · Mar 25, 2016

Hey, they used my Kimishima -tree glasses picture on the laptop.

Linkstrikesback said:

Well I'm counting that as a win for me.

Hockey123 · Mar 25, 2016

Can't watch right now, but I assume the tree was intentionally placed as a red herring. Nice job!

The Man Who Trolled The World

Litri · Mar 25, 2016

Gold gaffer right there!

dity · Mar 25, 2016

It's all a cover up. This is to cover up that it's real, it's a deceitful Junior! Trust no Juniors! Junior conspiracy!

Why do people debate whether an image of a controller is fake or not? What a waste of time.

It's called having fun.

john tv · Mar 25, 2016

Just...so well done. Amazing. Hats off

It is one of my flaws, for sure.

Harmen · Mar 25, 2016

Brilliant.

But at this point I also would't be surprised if the final thing ends up similar in concept (due to the patent and several reports on the whole no button thing).

cheesesic666 · Mar 25, 2016

awesome well played

mocolostrocolos · Mar 25, 2016

Great job pulling the plug on all those "journalists" confirming it was true.

Kouriozan · Mar 25, 2016

Just going to say : Congratulations.
It was well done and fooled tons of people.

MCN · Mar 25, 2016

This has been one of the best weeks in GAF memory. Thank you!
