Holy crap at what happened on gaf tonight. So some new guy came in and started dropping bombs about xbox leaks. Here are the stuff he said.
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=760013&page=27
So while all this was leaking Crazy Buttocks on a Train, CBOAT, the well known MS insider from gaf decided to post his own leak to not be outstaged. It was about Titanfall and maps. Well after he posted respawn immediately responded and called out CBOATS lie. The new leaker replied to CBOAT in some strange post about a play and a fiddle. CBOAT vanishes. A MS insider goes into the leak thread and says something like "leaks' lol. So now its started to sound very weird what is going on. Another guy from MS starts posting on twitter than he got the same info CBOAT did, and thinks something is up.
Gaf starts to piece together the conspiracy, this was all some gigantic plan to smoke out CBOAT. Have a fake new insider release obvious leaks to entice CBOAT to leaking fake crap Respawn gave to certain employees so if that fake info comes out they could nail him. CBOAT has vanished, many insiders hint that there was a huge manhunt within MS.
The new leaker starts to post photoshops of new One bundles and other crap. It starts to become unbelievable. So it seems that CBOAT might be caught and it was all a giant ruse by MS.
legal activities are a brewing. This could get interesting.
Thanks for the post Dvader.
I'm thinking Nintendo will open up a fast food chain with healthy snacks and a Wii Fit room. They could put all the unsold Wii U basic packs in happy meals.
Seriously though, this could go anywhere. He's got a point that Nintendo used to do a lot more entertainment related stuff before it focused all of its efforts on videogames. I've read about studies proving that videogame like applications can help with recovery after surgery, and that they can even be used to remove some physical pain. This is my best guess.
Anything else could really be out there though. Mechanical Pikachu's to comfort the elderly and lonesome? Waluigi app that scares kids if they don't eat their vegetables? Pikachu cushion that zaps you if you sit down while Wii Fit is playing? Nintendo belt that records how much you've been training and rewards you with free game time?
At McTendo's all kid's meals come with a healthy sandwich, orange slices, carrot sticks, and a fun Mach Rider toy!
Iwata didn't really say anthing that is going to turn things around for Wii U at all....3ds and Wii U look to be staying the course for the most part. Partnering with other companies is nothing new, but it would be nice if they mean letting others use some of their forgotten ip's, and not just the usual shit.
The whole health thing....wtf is that? If I want health I do it on my own time, I don't look to Nintendo for health. Sounds like another gimmicky bunch of bullshit, not interested.
I didn't read anything that makes me change my mind about Nintendo or anybody making the decisions at Nintendo, one way or another. Iwata is still bat shit insane.
Wii was a bad enough name....I cannot stand all these STUPID modern names like they are designed for preppies at Starbucks. But Wii U is like two full on retarded names in one.
Nintendo came up with the best name of any game console ever in 1985, and its only gotten worse from there.
SUPER MARIO MAKER LEVELS:
ive been booked into minor surgery for tendonitis and im under orders not to use my right hand for awhile so. lefthanded typing isn't cutting it. i told the doc it had been hurtin for weeks but a long winded reply to a Cuban Star Wars fan broke the camels back. steel wats proxifam?
tthat xb1 leak isn't interesting to me at all. and that iwata nintendo stuff is useless too. lol $15 million quarter loss and it's doomed? da fuck
Hope it all goes well.
u guys r crazy
ya, but all im sayijg to D is that the situation is a lot more complex than dropping a THIS,is why THIS then throwing a ninja smoke bomb at his feet and disapearing into the night. i love 2 read his insights,not just meaningless one liners. if my right arm weren't in a splint id give epic reply. is there a way to bookmark a post for later?
So you admit it's confidence
and benefit of the doubt. i wiin. yes that was deliberate.
this is why the internet sucks, so much melodrama, everythings either the greatest thing or the wprst thing ever. no middle ground no patience no calm people. i'm just starting to find the whole website tabloid headline generator and overblown internets reactions as increasingly childish. maybe cause im getting grumpier as i get older. and tired'er. because i update i see the same story endlessly repeated on every site, some twisted some not. as i learned studying journalism, news isn't always impartial, ypu can frame it and picks bits oit, emphasise others. its becoming droll and lazy using pachter as a headline generator to stir up a bruhah.
the one thing worse than one handed typing is adding a touchscreen to the mix. lol feels like cycling instead od driving. at least my fapping hand is allright
That is why its fun, so much drama about video games. We talk about video games how uninmportant is that and yet the internet turns it into this Days of Our Lives like drama story, I love it. And yeah if you visit every site you will see the same stories cause they all have to report them.
PS Plus wins the universe! I have not played and want to play ALL OF THOSE!!!! I finally get to play Metro!
It gets old real fast, how am i sippossed to get xcited about another overhyped announcement or melodramatic tragedy when 90% of the time it's business as usual.
Hey i can use the stylus to copy paste:
iWata:
"As I repeatedly stated, if one considers that apart from Nintendo DS and Nintendo 3DS, no other game system in its peak years has achieved annual sales of 4 million units after the year 2000, we can say that the domestic sales of Nintendo 3DS remained at an extraordinary high level in 2013 as well. In the U.S. market, an independent market research company called NPD publishes data which shows that Nintendo 3DS became the game device with the highest share in the last calendar year with lifetime hardware unit sales exceeding 11.50 million units.
The worldwide hardware sales of Nintendo 3DS have reached 42.74 million units, a sufficient size to expand this platform business."
So nintendos plan is to do stuff they alrdeady did in the past or should have done at the start anyway and increase marketing. then do no big changes and release a new 'love tester' device in 2016. lolololol
i guess i underestimated the old goat, good on him for not pressing the panic button.
"I am here to tell you about our future, and to begin with, I would like to mention what Nintendo will not change."
lololololol
what this mean:
David Gibson @gibbogame Follow
Iwata= is sharing philosophy with another company and aligning with them, cannot do alone. Is this Disney?
R they hooking up with another company?
David Gibson @gibbogame Follow
WiiU sales while weak in USA or UK they were strong in France and currently studying why that was the case
That Disney thing is pure speculation, they just said they want to partner with others.
Sounds more specific:
Iwata= is sharing philosophy with another company and aligning with them
Like a partnership or merger. and now i leave and attempt a left handed number 2!
wow, imagine if my wrist is fked for life? no more gaming.
