Wait a minute, I see cactus's post about Contra, but where was that in Konami's conference?

He got something right about a contra game?
Few hundred? Man, the place I worked at was overpaying a lot, then.Dreamwriter said:Nope, nor do they rate games that are more than 6 months away from release (he said they had to review the trailer because some of those unannounced games were rated Teen and Mature). So his whole thing is fake.
The ESRB is ALL about rating games. Not videos, not commercials, games. It's not like the movie rating system where move previews get rated. And it costs a few hundred dollars to get them to rate your game, so companies wouldn't voluntarily pay them for something stupid that won't affect anything (parents will see the rating of a trailer at the E3 press conference?)

Word is it's a Mercury Steam reboot a la Lords of Shadow.
Chiggs said:I think he has something of a reputation with this sort of thing.
But if he's wrong, none of us are actually losing anything, so no big deal. Unless you place bets on E3 stuff at Vegas.
Krowley said:Well, yeah... It doesn't hurt anything. I'm just trying to figure out how much credibility he has.

Hence, I will be going on a total media blackout starting right...NOW!
Chiggs said:You don't have the guts to stay away!
well its not really a database leak. What hes saying is the Montage reel that Nintendo plans to show was rated and during the process he got to peek at it.JohnTinker said:Have we ever had "ESRB INSIDER" leaks outside of titles going up on the online database too early? I can't ever recall a time before
Dreamwriter said:Well what do ya know, I was wrong!
I'm completely wrong, that last point sounds very much like what Cactus described. Nintendo's games reel supposedly includes Teen and Mature games, so the ESRB would have to review the video to make sure it wasn't trying to sell those specific games to little kids.
I recall last year it took a while for the DNF trailer shown at PAX to make its way online because there were concerns ESRB wouldn't approve it.Dreamwriter said:Well what do ya know, I was wrong!

Everything...except for his saying 'oh yeah, that's definitely what it's called' when a troll pointed out the listing for [URL="http://www.zelda.com/universe/]Zelda Universe[/URL].civilstrife said:Yeah, everything about Cactus seems to be legit.
Especially since his Contra prediction seems to have come true.

If its mostly legit thats another source saying GTAV will be announced at the Nintendo conferencecivilstrife said:Yeah, everything about Cactus seems to be legit.

Blargh, but thanks for the info.BY2K said:Well, if Cactus guy is to be believed, another DKCR.
Interesting. Thanks for clearing that up!Dreamwriter said:Well what do ya know, I was wrong!

Nintendo need to come out swinging. I'm sure they know this.GT Vespene said:Also remember that announcements in these press conferences are pretty fluid. They might add or pull debuts depending on the air surrounding the competition. I don't think Nintendo has many punches to pull though. The conference will probably be 25% Wii, 35% 3DS and 40% Cafe.
BertramCooper said:Interesting. Thanks for clearing that up!
If this guy is legit, I'm inclined to believe that Current is indeed the final name and not just another temp name. After all, the promotional vids reviewed by ESRB would obviously contain the console's final name.
I like it much better than Stream.
antonz said:I wouldnt say any major announcements are pretty fluid anyways. If Nintendo secures GTAV announcement level things etc these have been secured for awhile now.
dwu8991 said:You must be crazy to think Nintendo would name a console "current".
Most people would have said the exact same thing before Wii was announced.dwu8991 said:You must be crazy to think Nintendo would name a console "current".
ShockingAlberto said:The Cactus thing becomes unnecessarily vague and ignorant inconsistently.
This guy knows the history of Kirby GC, knows the difference between Persona and Devil Summoner (but can't tell at a glance), knows of both Front Mission and Armored Core, but can't tell the difference between Tekken and Street Fighter x Tekken? They don't look anything alike!
Also, a Ridge Racer game not at launch?
A separate Metal Gear game being developed with a female protagonist seems unlikely. Who would be developing it? KojiPro is basically tied up at the moment between Rising and the next-gen game Kojima is making but is not ready to announce.
I am not sure what the "Sonic for PS3" is supposed to be. Sonic 2006? That just screams fake.
Not sure if the NBA Jam thing is a joke or not.

Based on what he knows about game history and his posting on /v/, I think he'd know MGS Rising when he saw it.antonz said:Raiden can pass for a female pretty easy to alot of people. Could just be a MGS Rising release
At what point do you know Metal Gear Solid but look at Raiden and go "Oh yeah, just gonna go ahead and say that's a woman."antonz said:Raiden can pass for a female pretty easy to alot of people. Could just be a MGS Rising release
To be fair, the SFxTK game could be Tekken x Street Fighter, since it would have a similar style to Tekken instead of Street Fighter.ShockingAlberto said:The Cactus thing becomes unnecessarily vague and ignorant inconsistently.

I disagree. The system isn't coming out until next year, Nintendo has plenty of time to announce the final name later. They've had E3 press conferences before using code names. They didn't announce the name "Wii" at E3 - in fact, they didn't even have an event for that one, they just up and announced it, surprising everyone.BertramCooper said:If this guy is legit, I'm inclined to believe that Current is indeed the final name and not just another temp name.

Foffy said:- Could be Sonic 4: Episode II?
The System:
- Uses a custom IBM triple-core CPU running at 3.6GHz per core
- The development kit contains 1gb RAM, but Nintendo have hinted that the console will actually have 1.5gb
- Nintendo will be releasing games that will run 1080p natively. Sources say that with Nintendos art style and the poewer the system, the games look stunning.
- The system does run on AMD R700 card, but the architecture is slightly different and the clock speeds are much higher.
- Nintendo will release a Mario platformer as a launch title which hasnt been done since the N64.
- The Mario platformer looks to be the spiritual successor to Mario 64.
- Gamefreak and EAD are hard at work developing a Pokemon online RPG.
- The Pokemon RPG is not an MMO, but does have a large online emphasis and will be Nintendos flagship title when showing off the online capabilities of the console.
- There will be at least one new IP Nintendo will reveal at E3.
- Nintendo is working on a new Zelda, but didnt reveal anything to developers.
- Nintendo have sourced an external company to develop their online network, which the developer has commented, surpasses both the PS3 and 360 in terms of speed and functionality.
- Nintendo is pushing for the console to be online 24/7 and have seamless online integration with many of their games
- Rockstar are supposedly hard at work in bringing on of their most popular titles to the console.

It is called Unbounded and it is TBA 2012 right now, probably won't be ready at launch.ShockingAlberto said:Also, a Ridge Racer game not at launch?
Sega confirmed that it was under production not too long ago. No matter what people think of the first episode, it sold well.GT Vespene said:I'm pretty sure that isn't happening.
