That's great, but regardless of some of that stuff (which is pretty minor, let's be honest) almost all of the stuff she posted before E3 2011 was fake, false, or could have been predicted by anyone.
I wasn't talking about indie stuff because I know she has indie friends and does a lot of work with getting them involved in Nintendo. I respect her for that, but it doesn't make me believe she knows anything of significance, certainly not enough to say she's going to talk about stuff 'this year and E3'.
Who she then proceeded to throw under the bus in another attention grab.
Oh, I thought she might have been a gaming "journalist".She is responsible for helping out a lot of indie developers lately. A decent portion of the recent Wii U eShop indie developers were made possible with some help by her.
Wait, people want a new Diddy Kong Racing? News to me.
Anyway, I hope they're working on F-Zero or SOMETHING exciting...
This is the last I'll post in this thread since I don't really want to get too embroiled in this discussion over her legitimacy but all I'll say is that, once again, Emily is NOT some Paul Gale figure who likes to hype up her info for attention or just makes shit up to be famous. Gaf just likes to build her up as some charlatan but the boring truth is she's just reporting stuff she's heard down the grapevine from actual industry contacts who may or may not be feeding her the truth. And though I can't elaborate because I don't want to encroach on her privacy, I can say from my personal experience with talking with her AND with the brief contact I've personally had with some of her contacts through running notenoughshaders that Emily does actually talk to people within the industry. I know that my word is essentially worthless and saying "trust me" doesn't amount to anything but it'd be inappropriate to talk any more about her industry relationships.
She's not always necessarily right but it's not because she makes stuff up like gaf likes to believe nor is she pretending to be some kind of deep industry mole.

Paul Gale actually does talk to people in the industry as well. Whether or not all the baloney stuff comes from him making it up, or him not understanding discretion in terms of contextualizing the information he's given, who knows?
Same thing with Emily Rogers. If you get into the industry as a non-professional fan, and gradually talk to people and make contacts and raise your stature through releasing information, then a part of your responsibility is learning discretion. It's not an excuse to say "I'm just relaying what I was told". People get reputations for being trustworthy or not in large part because they learn to get extra confirmation, ask the right questions to make sure they're understanding the information correctly, and often not saying anything at all.
Emily Rogers for President of Nintendo!Don't know who she is.
Anyways, Diddy Kong racing won't be made because it makes too much sense. Whenever an idea makes too much sense Nintendo decides to cancel it.

Isnt Monster Games still only like 20 people?
Why would anyone think they were spearheading a full WiiU title?

Excitemechas Wii U
I hope this isn't too significant of a derail, but I can't resist here:
Who are these people who are frothing at the mouth for a DKR sequel? I didn't even know that a sequel to that game was in demand. What would it offer that Mario Kart couldn't?
Would have made too much sense, I guess.
Well then, give me EXCIIIIITE TRUCKS VS BIKES HD STUNTRACING and I'll be fine too. Too bad they probably won't release another racing game too close to Mario Kart, I'd imagine.
Did you play DKR?
Sure did. I actually own it.
Doesn't answer my question though!
Isn't this the same woman who said Banjo-Kazooie was being ported to the 3DS and that Soul Caliber 5 would be a Wii U launch title?
So let's say I want to play DKR right now. What are my options?
Dig up my N64, try to find a copy of the cart
Buy the remake for the DS (3DS?)
Was the portable remake any good, or did they nerf it somehow? Is it seriously not available on any home console, Virtual Console or otherwise, except for the N64? I really want to play it again but I'd so much rather play on a TV.
Get the original, the DS version has bad touch screen gimmicks, and they changed the voices, also the music, even though it was by Dave Wise again, loses something special on the DS, it doesn't compare.
Ok. Then it should be obvious: adventure mode.
Also, when you get a trailer, some frothing will occur.
grain of salt <etc>

Here's her list of rumors from E3 2011

Metroid 3DS was most likely a Metroid "3D classic" for the eShop never got made. Soul Calibur turned out to be Tekken. Same developer, Namco
Something like that could very easily be added to Mario Kart.
As to the potential audience of people who are sitting around waiting for this game to be released, well. I guess there was a reason I wasn't aware this was in demand.
It's not in demand.
