Hey guys my source and I have been waiting for 5 hours and no response to get verified or what we need to do to start. I PM'd Bish, is there anyone else I need to contact? This is questionable customer service guys lol :)

I'm starting to think mod verification is a myth created to scare away rumor spreaders.

Cue the mods telling me they've been busy putting out a fire at their local orphanage and I should feel bad for doubting/rushing them :p

I guess you can just carry on with your rumors until he responds. Just be careful, though. If your source isn't on the money, you'll get perma-banned. But if he's as accurate as you are led to believe, that won't be a problem. Of course, you could also contact Nirolak.

I don't think accuracy has anything to do with it. Just that he's not spreading complete made up bs and his source is who he says he is.

But are you still waiting for verification approval to unload the mother of all leaks or everything you've got is what's in your website?
 
To be honest, nothing Trev said is really groundbreaking enough for me to really care if his source is vetted or not. They're things that we've speculated on already. I guess an "official" confirmation would be something, but I wouldn't consider it big news.

Well if he gets his sources verified now it'll make things easier for everyone when he drops da bombs later on.

I got more that I will post on my website, but my source at Nintendo and myself want to get approved/verified so we can continue discussing the information and not about if it's true or not.

Does verification even matter anymore? Its not like more rumors will be dropped. Those that believe will believe and those that dont wont.

What he said is already out there.

Edit: well nvm then

Why dont you just post on your website? Got nothing to do with whether you get banned here or not.

Evidence that he's not making stuff up really helps in the "believe or not to believe" debate.

2 versions

Iphone 5c and iphone 5s
Galaxy s6 and galaxy s6 mini
3ds and 2ds

Why care? Just buy the cheapest one ☺

The cheapest version could cost 250$ if 299$ is to much

Ive purchased an oculus 1,5y ago. I needed to buy pc components for over 800$

Some people wants only the best
I'm talking about if they want it to succeed...not whether i can afford it or not. After the WiiU charging anything more than $400 is suicide.

Are the Final Fantasy rumours posted on Trevelyan's website also form the same source? Because the page does say whether it's from an anonymous source or another website or what.

Do you guys reckon NX handheld will get mass visual novel support? Like the vita currently.
As someone stated, those games need to find somewhere to go once PS Vita dies. (because, I don't really believe in the idea of Sony dropping another handheld to the masses). So, NX or ultimately the mobile market would be the de facto platforms for those developments. NX will have a great amount of japanese devs on board, that's for sure.

That's from a different source. According to him a less reliable one, though the source has supposedly been right in the past.

Which I have my doubts for since x86 isn't exactly easy to put into a small handheld. Granted, it's not impossible, but it'd be rather pricey & it isn't exactly power-efficient.

Couldn't they do X86 for the console and arm for the handheld? I thought that was the point of their new Ambidextrous strategy.

Different. The Zelda NX 2016 rumor is reportedly from someone within Nintendo. The FF rumor is from a second-hand source who, as Malus said, has supposedly been right before.

I wanted to dominate the living room. Then I took an ESRAM in the knee.

Another thing is that at least the Zelda NX prediction is such a common sense deduction that even an official announcement by Nintendo would not verify that we have a credible insider source here. One could easily take an educated guess that Zelda NX is highly likely to happen and sell that as insider information. Correctly predicting that it will rain in Seattle once over the next weeks does not make you a prophet.

You know you don't *need* mod's approval to share information, right?

You can share whatever info you have now. In case X or Y mod thinks you're BSing us then only show them your credentials.

Just post it on your blog then. Neogafs only a forum, you're a free man on the internet.
 
I think Dave gave us enough to go on in order to say one way or another once Nintendo reveals. Seems like he saw a release schedule or something to that effect. If Wii U releases don't line up with what he wrote, we'll know there was creativity at work. For what it's worth, as of now, I believe him.

I feel like you guys didn't read the post at all lol. He will post the info to his website, but he would like to get verified. Calm ur appetites.

Not really true. I remember ShockingAlberto saying he was shocked at the Bayo 2 announcement because he heard that it was dead. Sources can just be wrong.

People share rumors on forums all the time. Why can't you just start your rumor with "my friend's uncle told me....."

I don't think you request getting verified, I think mods request it from you when you claim something of a certain degree or variety first. This is probably why the current method has failed and, as noted by Nirolak earlier in the thread, nothing outlandish has really been claimed.
 
I don't see anything in that rumor that strikes me as untrue.

I don't see anything that would be particularly outlandish, either. A lot of it seems to be things we know or easy guesses.

The only thing I raise my eyebrow at is the assumption home console will come this year because of a Zelda Wii U port. Not knowing either way, but the reasoning on that seems faulty to me.

Makes sense.

I wanna hear something that I wouldnt have likely guessed on my own. Scrolling shoulder buttons? something like that? A screen on the controller?

That part of the rumor was just his own assumption, and not really what his source said to him.

But you have to consider the ease of development between both NX devices, something that would be streamlined with both NX devices having the same ARM architecture.

Depends on what kind of performance they are trying to get out of the home console.

Is all this outlined in the GAF bible somewhere? Maybe the TOS lol. We've all read the rules and guidelines right guys?

Guys?

I think Zelda U will be a launch title for NX and Nintendo would be crazy to not port it.
Not sure if this means NX is 2016 or both Zelda U and NX are delayed till 2017.
But yeah, most of that stuff is known even the Minecraft stuff

Nintendo has pretty much said that Zelda Wii U is this year, right? If that is the case, then a nice assumption would be that the NX won't be far from that...if not at the same time.

If NX is ready that is. I think it's a safe bet that at least at the end of 2015 they believed the NX would launch this year
Yep, I can see vita devs and more mobile devs moving to NX handheld.
That does seem like the logical next step in japan if the handheld takes off there

Yea consoles release during the Holiday window, not after it.

They can, but it complicates development of the OS and software dev tools considerably. It's really not worth it unless they get some pretty huge gains from going x86 over ARM.

The Ambidextrous thing is more of a hardware thing, and has little to do with software.

I share your thoughts. He is not some random poster and this claim can be proven false any moment Nintendo decides to gives us any info about their plans for the Wii U. A normal person who wants to keep their reputation wouldn't make such a risk unless he/she really has faith in what they heard.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts and clearing up your response.

The Final Fantasy VII Remake and FFXV coming to NX are definitely not from my source at Nintendo. That information is a rumor and nothing I can confirm 100% like the information I shared today.
 
Trev, I asked before, but can you tell us what rumors your sources (the one from Nintendo, and maybe the other source of the Final Fantasy rumor) have gotten right and with links to said rumors?

That would help immensely with seeing how legit they are.

Thanks. :)
 
Don't worry, Trev. The fact that you are so committed to getting your info verified speaks just as loudly as a mod coming in here and saying you're legit himself/herself, at least in my mind. If you don't hear back, you and your source shouldn't worry about it. You already have the goodwill and attention of most people interested.
