Random: We Show You How to Make a "Fake NX Leak", For No Real Reason

Strangely I'm not even hungry...

Not gonna lie, I would definitely watch a straight-up cooking show by Alex.

No physical buttons at all? Nintendo are mad. The NX is doomed to failure.

I hate to admit I laughed, but I'll admit to sharply exhaling from my nose several times during this video.

You should have ground the salt to add to the joke of the rumor mill.

No leek?

Best 8 minutes of my day.

8. MINUTES. WELL. SPENT.

Had no idea a pickle was called something else in Europe!

I've always called them pickles. I've never heard of a gherkin. Wow, Alex, you really go for those subtle jabs at Internet rumors and over sensationalized leaks. Nice effort, though. I've never seen a video of you standing up.

Honestly doesn't look 'that' bad. Is this in part to poke at the massive amount of cooking videos as of recently I wonder? Would be wise to take the comments on this leak with a pinch of salt too.

OH MY GAWD!, organic, edible controllers!! SWELLTASTIC!

@AlexOlney You need your own cooking show. Cooking with Alex!

I'll be amazed if you guys collaborate with someone who could create realistic food/cake. That said, nice joke esp with a lot of salt.

Where can This be pre-hors d'Oeuvred?

Didn't watch the video but I want one of them t shirts

@bezerker99 And as you'd expect, it has unnecessary letters, because we love a good smattering of redundancy.

G-H-E-R-K-I-N

What does the 'H' do? Nobody knows. But there it is.

I love this web site.

Apparently the battery life on these things is actually pretty good.

I'm not gonna lie, I was expecting some sort of plastic controller to randomly pop out of the oven.

Can you make a Coleco Chameleon during your next cooking show?

I tried making one. NeoGaf didn't like my version though

I don't believe it's a fake. That NX looks brilliant, and nobody outside of Nintendo could have designed such a wonderful thing.

I would have believed it if it wasn't for the fact that the garlic clove wasn't peeled first. Nintendo would totally peel their garlic before stealthily hiding it inside the controller. Oh, wait... Nintendo is having all their consoles produced in China to cut costs these days, and you know how those Chinese factories are when it comes to quality control. I'm calling "legit" on this one!

If the NX was that then I'd probably have to buy multiple cuz it does look tasty.

Lots of salt, always lots of salt on leaks!

nice kitchen

Remember, guys, nothing says "Nintendo made this" like a cabbage leaf.

Hmm, the fact Alex didn't use an actual leak for the analogue stick, instead of the Gherkins make me less trusting of this, otherwise very convincing, rumor.

@Tsurii Yes! Now that you've said it, I want a fifteen-minute video of Alex taking his time eating the potato with a solemn expression while "Flight of the Bumblebee" plays in the background.

Alex! You said there was a leek! I didn't see it in the video!

This "fake" leak is actually a real leak for the direction Nintendo is going with their "quality of life" business platform.

Had a smile on my face throughout the whole thing.

All I want is a traditional potato. None of these fancy gherkin gimmicks. That's it, the NX is doomed. DOA. Third parties etc etc achievements etc etc the fanboys will lap it up sob sob....

@Maxz There is only a smattering of words beginning "gh" in English and the h is always silent. It is generally thought that the spelling derives from the Flemish typesetters who prepared the plates for Caxton's printing press. Spelling wasn't fixed at that time and the Flemish men just spelt words in a way that seemed right and familiar to them. Hence, we have ghost, ghastly, ghoul where that spelling stuck. Ghoose, ghoat, ghirl and others lost the spelling with standardisation. Gherkin itself is a borrowed word. Without the h, there may be equivocal pronunciation as jerkin as in German or germ. The h may have been added to provide clarity of pronunication, simply following the other examples of gh making a hard g sound.

The funny thing is that the NX will probably be as powerful as a potato

This certainly has been the highlight of my day so far. I would love to see more of these.

Alex doesn't look a day over 45.

Nintendo needs to stop with this gimmicky controllers! This looks like a bloody potato!

@Sakura Thank you for the micro etymology lesson. I now have a little more respect for the role 'H' in all those words. In fact, I might start trying to bring ghoose, ghoat and ghirl back into fashion. They're ghreat!

I enjoyed it.

I once tried to make a leak...too bad I burned everything down

I think you added just a little too much salt..

That's a really nice kitchen.

I also would watch an official 'Cooking with Alex'. That would be so awesome if he did really do that, each episode being a Nintendo themed dish.

I was hoping Alex would eat the finished product, but he ruined it with all the salt. I don't think I was called a lovely person, either.

but how does it taste? I'm tempted to make one to see how it tasts...

I'm not even joking.

Alex do a cooking show even if its joke food that doesn't even taste good I'll watch it.

do a Wii Classic controller next.

Ok what's the deal with me being constantly unsubbed from this channel? It keeps vanishing from my list. :/

That kitchen is beautiful.

"When it comes to salt, more is...more" XD

No Jamie Oliver reference here, yet?

We're you drunk in that pictre Alex

It would have been funny if you actually posted it on Neogaf

@Flauber Don't you mean "ghimmicky controllers"?

@Maxz Ghood luck with that!

inb4 the girl who always says @ALEX CUTE!!!!!!!!

"Nothing says "Nintendo made this" more than a cabbage leaf."

XD

Also, stop playing with food. A child in Africa would have eaten that NX.

We have gherkins in America, they are a small variety of cucumber so they produce very small pickles--which we call gherkins--they are usually served on a relish plate or salad bar.

@LARSUSMAKSIMUS so the NX will be a hybrid clock?

Smells a bit funny to me...

@LARSUSMAKSIMUS

Here comes Johnny raincloud...

Alex is my hero. XD

Not gonna lie, that controller looks kinda tasty.

I can't believe that I actually watched that.

I wouldn't mind seeing news items being summed up through various domestic pursuits.

Drugs are BAD, Alex.
