Plans to move to PS3 or 360 channel.

I wonder if he's joking, if not, thats the way the ball bounces.

 

[Ark-AMN]

I bet its 360, just because he likes Silicon Knights more than I do and he probably wants to review Too Human. :lol

 

[Amir0x]

i'll miss those days, matt has given many a tear to hyper sensitive nintendo fans in denial mode T_T

so i hope it's fake!

 

[DeathbyVolcano]

Seems like a joke. I'm sorry but his most wanted game is Mario Galaxy, as he's said so many damned times. I don't remember him ever saying he couldn't wait for Heavenly Sword.

 

[Mashing]

Ok that's bullshit. Matt is like the biggest Metroid fan on this planet... and that first sentence j ust completely gives away the fallacy of that blog post.

With that said, it wouldn't surprise me in the least if he did move to another channel. He's an admitted technogeek.

 

[chespace]

Good to shake things up once in a while.

Sounds like he'll be going to Xbox 360.

Best of luck Matt (and Doug, you sweet and tender hooligan).

 

[squicken]

I'm pretty sure he's joking. He probably gets a lot of hate mail from the crazies about not updating the site, and this is his response.

 

[Odysseus]

This blog is for people approximately 0.78 light years away.

 

[Amir0x]

being editor of Gamecube IGN must be the easiest job in the world. you get like 1 game to review every 10 weeks. Like a vacation

 

[Trurl]

Hopefully he won't have to deal with the insults of virgins over at the 360 or PS3 channels.

 

[Johnas]

I think if he was really switching, he would have written something a little longer than that. But hey.

 

[gofreak]

Jeremy says he ain't going to PS3, so it seems Doug and Matt are swapping? So Doug will run Wii now?

 

[The Bookerman]

Yeah right, Dead or Alive Xtreme 2....

if that's your most awated games matt, you truly deeply suck.

 

[Netrunner2k2]

I think if he was really switching, he would have written something a little longer than that. But hey.

Or atleast included another must-have game than DOAX2.

 

[darscot]

What the leader of the bitter Nintendo fanboys has finaly had enough. It's only about 5 years past due.

 

[BorkBork]

:lol :lol :lol
He's entertaining if nothing else!

 

[OG_Original Gamer]

It probably has more to do with the HATE, he's been getting lately. He just knew more about the GC then the Wii before launch. With Wii, his info was seriously lacking.

Even though I've ragged on him a few times, I still visited the Revolution(Wii) regularly.

 

[ViDnEz]

 

[squicken]

Please stop all the hating on DOAX2 please.

 

[Magicpaint]

Eh, attention whore.

 

[monkeyrun]

good to see you go bye bye

 

[Mrbob]

I welcome Matt to his proper home with open arms.

 

[Calidor]

i'm glad he's gone

 

[Emotions]

It sounds like a total joke to me. Feeling home because of Rare and Sillicon Knights :lol , please...

 

[kIdMuScLe]

he picked silicon knights over nintendo? YES! that IGN JOB IS SO MINEEE!!!!!!!!! WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

 

[shuri]

Nintendo fans seems always to have all the time in the world to create fake dramas on the internet it seems.

I wonder if Matt wears sweatpants at work?

 

[Ganondorf>Link]

He mentioned DOAX2, its an obvious joke. :lol

 

[sprsk]

I welcome Matt to his proper home with open arms.

so youre saying 360\ps3 sites are the proper home for attention whores?

 

[ant1532]

Lol, its pretty amusing that there is a whole thread on just an editor's position switch (whom doesn't even posts here.)

he used to, i believe we ran him off.

 

[Mrbob]

Sounds like he is coming home to the Xbots (if he is switching with Doug), where he belongs. No attention whorism needed, the man speaks the truth with a clear mind.

 

[DeathbyVolcano]

Yay GAF

I hope he moves to teh PS3 channel, more positive megaton rumors will only make us stronger!!! It's teh true-true!!!

 

[Oblivion]

You know, Matt's a pretty okay, duder. I met him at E3 and he was really nice. Which kinda sucked since I did rag on him a lot. :/

 

[Tact]

 

[Kittonwy]

No? Oh well. The PS3 channel needs someone much more obsessive about the console though, like how Matt was with teh wii-wii and teh cube-cube.

 

[White Man]

Why do people think this is a joke? Why would he joke about something like this? Plus, there are no "winks" in the post or anything.

 

[CO_Andy]

Nintendee fans must be killin' him

 

[Tadaima]

i think he made a joke on the internet

 

[GitarooMan]

I think it's a good idea for him if true, he needs to break away from smothering N-horde that ripped him anytime he forced reality on them.

 

[Archie]

who cares

 

[Ganondorf>Link]

DOAX2 should be a big enough wink.

....yeaahhhh...

 

[Polari]

who cares

[jjasper]

I thought he was joking because he listed DOAX2 as one of his most wanted games, I mean honestly out of all the good games shown at E3 how could someone have that crap as a "most wanted game"

 

[HocusPocus]

The Xbox 360 channel could use someone with a passion about the platform.

 

[Firest0rm]

He's probably doing it to see how much IGN Ninfans feel about him. Since he probably sees all the hate, he's testing them out.

 

[monkeyrun]

He mentioned DOAX2, its an obvious joke. :lol

I'll be so disappointed if it's really just a joke please be true.

 

[Sinatar]

Man it was nice having his hyperbolic nonsense constrained to the Nintendo camp where it could be safely ignored.

 

[darscot]

It'll be good fun when all he does is shit on the 360 for not being the "Winner" of the next gen console race. Then all the Nintendo fanboys will all rave about how he speaks the truth and all the Xbox guys hate him.
