Then he told us why the most read magazine in Germany already reported about the controller on the day of the presentation.

Oh yeah. What did he say?
No German magazine knew about the controller before Nintendo's presentation in Tokyo.
And only a few journalists were allowed to get into the presentation.
There were also no prior informations under NDA or something like that.

The BILD magazine posted some hours later an article in their issue, at the point of the presentation everything was written. According to gabriel they knew about the controller 2 days before the presentation was held.

What is with your translation skills shiggy ?

I forgot a word, I think that was obvious
But my skills are really bad (I think you agree)

On some chinese bbs I go to, multiple sources are confirming the same description of a thinner DS, built with a better LCD screen, White PSP like clear coating finish, and mic between the two screens. DS and GBA slots are both still in.

Of course people believe it's fake, but they are standing by their sources.
We'll see what happens.

 

[Shiggy]

Our sources were right.

I know the guy that wrote the BILD article in person. The article was not written before the presentation and they knew nothing before.

Even if it was like so, everything else that gabriel said was right, and I really doubt that he told us the thing with the BILD just as a joke, it was impossible to publish that article that fast after the presentation.

sonofabitch. I just bought the damn red DS and now you show me something even sexier? (granted it's a concept, but anyway)

March 2nd? that's almost my birthday. early birthday present to myself? methinks the answer is "yes".

wait, where's the power button?

 

[Beezy]

You've got to be fucking kidding me! I've only had my DS over a month! I'm going to end up being like most of you guys with the GBA and end up buying a second one.

yeah, I didn't see that before. Thanks.

and the date thing is weird. The US does month-day-year while the rest of the world does day-month-year. does that mean it's coming out in a little over a week? no, probably not.

i'm sure it means March 2... unfortunatly, it's March 2, one thousand years from now... my point being, does anyone read this shit at Gamespot before they publish it?

 

[Mrbob]

Ahh damn it Nintendo....I should have seen this coming, though.

I'll probably trade in my Mario Kart DS system for this. I don't like the game anyway.
