I don't know if it's happened in this thread but I saw in the other thread that people were talking a lot of shit about Rösti and ShockingAlberto and indicating they are now running scared, etc., and not legit insiders. I just want to point out that all Alberto said was that he'd heard the first pic was real from a source. He never said he was certain of its veracity by any stretch. Previously he has known insider information before it was announced by Nintendo so I don't think he should be given such a hard time about this.
As to Rösti, he specifically made a point to say that he was not saying the leak was real or fake, just that certain parties were upset about it. He even expressed anxiety and physical symptoms resulting from stress over this, and he never said the leak was real, so please, those giving either of these upstanding members of the community a hard time, reconsider doing so. Thank you.

Hm.
Somebody "confirmed" the last set of pictures to me. I didn't believe or disbelieve, I just figured I'd wait for more information.
This might qualify as more information.
Sorry. Read it again and tell me it's not misleading. As a forum member who kept reading how this guy's the real deal and what he says counts, I took his words for real and trusted him. This quote here told me to take the fake seriously and it's not a fake, even though I felt it was. If he seriously didn't trust it, he shouldn't have posted it. He knows how people here take his word as gospel. He should know better not to post or when to post.
Now tell me something, what would've happened if I did what he did? I'd have gotten banned, chastised and people would've asked for my head. All because I'm a "nobody". No need for double standards.
Don't know about Rosti, he's always very vague, so can't say much about him. So either he does know something or he doesn't, he's playing smart so we'll never know. But that silly ASCII stuff really has to stop man. It gives everyone the impression dude knows, then when decoded, it's nothing. Like, why?
Anyway, all this does is put trust in people and hold them in high regards and all these people do is take advantage of us. This is not cool. Defending them isn't cool either. I have no affiliation with anyone. I'm just a new member who took the words of others that this person and others are trustworthy. Now I'm back to trusting no one. Just official news.
