wii u has an sd card slot? didn't know that

 

[Doctor Ironic]

Did we really need a thread for a random unsourced claim from Twitter?

 

[Gaspard]

Yup, the SD is how Homebrew is doable in the first place.

 

[GhostTrick]

Endorsing theft. Fuck off with that shit.

Did you just told me to fuck off ?

 

[Pejo]

Probably a promotional stunt for Watch Dogs 2.

 

[HappehLemons]

Because year after year people cry about not getting E3 demos on the eShop, and year after year they're told exactly why. It's getting tiresome.

And yes, I mean damage. As in bricking, as unfinished and unstable code can do. And let's not even start on the potential for opening up even more backdoors to hacking the console. All it takes is a buffer overflow...

lol a game demo alone is not going to brick/damage a console. you need to relax dude remember its just videogames

 

[Feel the Swift]

Yeah, release an unstable, unfinished demo that could potentially damage people's consoles.

Stop being a fucking idiot.

Completely uncalled for.

Endorsing theft. Fuck off with that shit.

He wasn't even endorsing theft though.

 

[Neiteio]

Nintendo is dealing with a pro here, people.

At least it's not a double hack

 

[QuantumBro]

This is less believable than the NX being revealed tomorrow.

That'll only happen if Nintendo finalizes the deal with Nvidia to have 2 1080's in every NX. Probably won't happen for another month.

 

[Mr Friend29]

Hell if it does actually get released I'll play it. Would be cool to be able to experience what some of the attendees at e3 are playing. If not, I can wait until it actually gets released.

That being said Nintendo doesn't owe anyone anything and does not need to release the pre-release demo on the eshop.

 

[Already Torn]

Would finally try to figure out Wii U Homebrew if this is available somehow.

 

[Wishmaster92]

Everythings under Ctrl

 

[gai_shain]

No matter if this is true or not atleast this highlighted the people I won't ever have to take serious again. Theft is totally cool if it's just video games. Seriously?

 

[NateDrake]

How is this person even close enough to a Wii U to do this? Never mind not be noticed by the Nintendo staff on hand.

 

[Joey Ravn]

DedSec is at it again, it seems.

Would finally try to figure out Wii U Homebrew if this is available somehow.

Honestly, there's nothing to "figure out": just put a couple of files on the SD, open the browser and go to a certain address and boom, it's done.

3DS downgrading was infinitely more complicated than Wii U homebrew.

 

[Wishmaster92]

Because Meanwhileatnintendo.Gif

 

[Pendas]

As someone who has personally worked with Nintendo Demo's for testing purposes...

This is possible and done all the time. It's how Nintendo distributes Test Builds.

 

[Aurongel]

Unsourced trash.

Demo builds of software have no layer of QA they have to go through. You can't make that claim without knowing the technical details of this likely fake dumped build.

 

[Zevenberge]

lol a game demo alone is not going to brick/damage a console. you need to relax dude remember its just videogames

Uhm, yes. Programs can brick everything if there is a bug in them (e.g. delete system files). This goes even more for code in which memory is managed manually (e.g. in games). Devs have a QA department for a reason.

 

[Dreamwriter]

So, um...E3 hasn't actually started yet, the booths are still being finalized. So what is this supposed person actually doing?

 

[UnderWaterTree]

Nintendo is dealing with a pro here, people.

that gif is getting a lot of use this e3

 

[derwalde]

Everythings under Ctrl

Lol

 

[MCN]

Uhm, yes. Programs can brick everything if there is a bug in them (e.g. delete system files).

There have been actual, retail games that have done this.

Where do some of you draw the line between crime and public service?

Yeah, the SS demo leaked too.

That's different than E3. You can't just walk up to the Wii U, put an SD card in, grab the GamePad, go through the settings menu, and leave without anyone noticing. Only way this person managed to do this is that they broke into the the Nintendo booth.

Not to mention E3 hasn't even started yet, so whomever this is would have to be getting it from somewhere else, someplace very closely watched by Nintendo.

 

[WaterAstro]

You know how Batman puts his phone by the other dudes phone and hacks it?

Um, there are people inside Nintendo's booth right now. As I'm typing, their twitch stream is showing it.

 

[DeathSparks]

Oh look more bait, don't see this being real too https://twitter.com/digivoxel/status/742793424064159744

 

[Not]

So wait is this actually being posted to P2Ps or was that horseshit?

 

[Kadin]

Oh look more bait, don't see this being real too https://twitter.com/digivoxel/status/742793424064159744

I automatically disbelieve anyone who tweets in all caps.

 

[Rich!]

Just looked at KAT

there's nothing even remotely Zelda related uploaded in the last six days, and that was a hentai comic.

And this wouldn't be leaked via public trackers anyway. It'd be on that Wii U ISO site, or via private sharing to begin with.

Yeah no

 

[Buttonbasher]

Theft.

https://twitter.com/digivoxel/status/742799223930884101 It was a joke.

 

[inner-G]

Approaches Zelda booth

Places SD card on table

Takes dump on it

During commotion, grabs Wii U and runs away

That one dude was joking

 

[ultrazilla]

Nintendo with dat viral marketing for Zelda!

[Clauss]

This thread is amazing

 

[xzeldax3]

Have you not heard of the infamous PS2 demo disc that deleted all of your save files?

 

[digitaldevmike]

 

[UltimaPooh]

But how

But how!? What specifically did they do to do this? There's so many ways, which one exactly?!

 

[Keby]

Holy shit you guys! Stop being gullible!

 

[komplanen]

Not at all. It's just that I haven't used the wuu for anything other than Smash, and I'm a terrible person

I know how you feel :-3

 

[Palmer27]

It's for the greater good!

 

[Familienoberhauptvogel]

Theft.

Good thing that, if it actually happened, it was just copyright infringement then.

 

[Starwolf_UK]

I remember a long time ago the Sonic Heroes E3 demo getting leaked and full plot and all levels were in there to some form of completion. edit: Hmm looking now the only prototype info I can find doesn't match up.

Nintendo wise a Donkey Kong 64 E3 demo dump exists. edit: It was re-used for store kiosks so basically same situation as Skyward Sword.

I've seen Nintendo employees use SD cards to install demo's, but I'm not sure if this is possible.

If they left the SD in the system or something it is possible. That is how the Wii diagnostic disc got leaked (someone found it in the disk drive after they got their Wii back from a repair) but this tweet seems to be nonesense...

I doubt its a free demo. From the Treehouse, it seems the game has a Demo mode and a mode where you could possibly experience the whole area and doesnt stop after xxx minutes.

Bill said I forgot to disable that implying a secret button code removes the limit.

No it didn't... That leak was from a store kiosk demo months after e3, it just happened to be the same demos from e3 on the kiosk disc.

It did, however, happen to other games like star fox 2.

The two Star Fox 2 prototypes didn't come from cartridges according to the people who released them and also the builds we have look a bit different from those shown at E3.

Not surprised in the slightest.
