Topic: 3DS 2016 Lineup Leak

Are you questioning our authoritah?

Considering we don't know what they are, if they exist, they could sound like anything, big games to haemorrhoid cream. The 3DS might be selling okay in comparison to the Wii U, but it's still falling (something that can't yet be said of the Wii U). Games are pushing the 3DS' hardware to the limit, Smash made that evident a couple of years ago with the exclusion of the Ice Climbers. The 3DS has seen just about all of Nintendo's major IPs, I don't think there is going to be much enthusiasm for more of the same without some new hardware to go with it.

@shaneoh: no doubt this is the last year of major support for 3ds and wii u, still doubtful about handheld though. I think if handheld launches 2016 it's Japan only.

http://m.neogaf.com/showpost.php?p=196787273&postcount=603 looks like the leak is on the money.

Metaldave64 has taken down his leak videos...I have a bad feeling about that.

Tbh I still don't understand how someone "can tell" Caviar F is a Rhythm Heaven game
Also woohoo on the Niji leak being right, but how hard was it to leak something that was posted a couple days later, and the logos were discovered even sooner. Yawn. But if anything else on that list becomes true then it's a decent leak.

I don't think that questioned your power to lock threads lol I think it questioned your connections.

I would be careful though. Very often leaks contain some correct and some incorrect information. The Gematsu Smash Bros leak is a great example of this.

Exactly. Just because he was right about one thing doesn't mean he's right about everything.

It doesn't mean everything will be right, but it does prove he has a credible inside contact at the very least. Nintendo's plans can change, as they probably did with the Devil's Third debacle.

I don't think anyone is saying that this is exactly how the rest of the year will go for 3DS, with no changes. But it seems like the leaker has earned the benefit of the doubt with regard to his Nintendo insider, at least.

Yeah. Same time wonder why the inside source is doing this. Is it really worth your job? Especially at Nintendo of all places?

@DarthNocturnal: apparently the guy was scheduled for a zeldainformer interview but cancelled it and has gone radio silent. Ru-Oh.

Ooooo. That's pretty cool.

@-Red-: yep and a NoA employee probably just lost his/her job.

Well, that's not so cool.

@Peach64:

It's not just that. Often times "sources" aren't directly working with the leaked information. So they may make guesses and inferences that get transmitted to the leaker and later proved false.

It certainly took skill to do it! What a muppet.

Well if the guy got fired and if SMD likely got a cease and desist from Nintendo then the list is likely pretty accurate.

If someone loses their job, then it's entirely their fault for breaking a non-disclosure agreement, and I have no sympathy with them.

Besides, I find it's much more fun to have something revealed officially without it getting spoilt by leaks.

@crimsontadpoles: yeah especially the budgets. No one needed to know about that. It was none of our business and not really relevant info to us. I think it's safe to say that Trev/SMD and his insider are probably screwed.
