Question: Why does everyone in the comment section of that video think it's fact? This is no different than "My uncle works at Nintendo".

To put it bluntly, they're idiots.

Lol - you guys are funny. Rumors are rumors, yes - they are fun to talk about. But to make things personal and get nasty about it? Sad. But by all means; continue to throw your humanity aside and call people "idiots" whom you don't even know. You don't know them. You don't know their real thoughts.

Part of the reason I, at first, enjoyed this community was that I thought it was a reprieve from larger forums where people are downright horrible to one another. It seems @shaneoh doesn't care much for that, though.

A question was asked, an answer was given. The question was a personal one, so there wasn't a great deal of leeway for me to give a non-personal answer. My answer was given based on opinions formed from reading their comments, given that's all I have to go on, it's a fair assessment. Mind you, calling anyone an idiot is a fair assessment, find me a person who isn't an idiot, and you've found a person who has never had a thought in their head.

My personality doesn't allow me to suffer fools gladly, myself included, and if being called an idiot is the worst they have to hear in their lifetime, then the dear petals will have lived very sheltered lives.

@shaneoh: Thanks for the link, will do. And hey, come up with whatever rationale you want. We all do it, so I won't fault you for it. Just remember: honey gets more flies, ultimately.

Don't know why anybody would want so many flies, though... but I am tempted, @shaneoh. I wonder if you read my previous post providing more background information on this anonymous source. Seems this person made a pretty critical, accurate leak in concerns to the Wii U. Do you have some sort of logic you run through concerning anonymous sources before believing them turns you from an "idiot" to a resourceful, aware person? Did you take any time to explore the background information before you declared people "idiots"? Because, if you didn't... well... I guess I don't need to tell you what that would seem to imply.

@rallydefault Was he right about anything other than that one leak?

There is nothing here...except for the stuff I just typed...

@NintendoFan64: Oh, I'm sure. I'll do a little more digging and get back to you. It would be weird for a website to use him as a source "for years" if he wasn't correct about anything else. I'm off to play some Heroes of the Storm for a bit, but I'll poke around a little after I'm done.

I don't need my very legit uncle that works at Nintendo to know Zelda has been delayed for the launch of NXC this year.

Please, by all means, call me an idiot, for whatever reason you want, it's the truth. I believe all people to be idiots, me, you, everyone, just don't take it personally. No, I didn't read that other post you made as I was in the middle of typing my last post. Also I didn't call the video creator an idiot, yet, just the people taking the video as fact. Is this the "leak" you are talking about?:
http://www.nintengen.com/2012/07/speculation-wii-us-gpu-based...

Let's look at the headline of that article:

"Speculation: Wii U's GPU based on AMD Radeon E6760"

Speculation, a shorter way of saying "Bugger it, I'm going to have a bloody guess." It's not a leak if you're taking a stab in the dark, hoping to find that you've drawn blood when the lights come on. I think this anonymous commenter said it best:

somerandomperson wrote:

It could also be a 67XXM gpu since its excentialy the same exact chip (memory an clocks speeds aside).

Credit where credit is due, he guessed right, but having a multiple choice question and guessing the first listed answer as the correct answer purely because it was the first listed answer, does not mean they should be trusted to answer on similar topics in the future.

Believes his source is genuine, needs verification that they work at Nintendo.
Wants to keep source anonymous, gets other people to verify the identity of the source.

Maybe a bit more of information... seems the source's screenname is "Metaldave" and has been used by GoNintendo "for years and years now" as an anonymous informant of sorts. Just another minute turned up the fact that this Metaldave guy back in 2012 accurately leaked that the Wii U was going to use some form of the AMD E6760 processor.

To be fair that's a pretty safe prediction to make, especially in 2012. At that stage we knew what the Wii U was, we knew the form factor and we knew what it was capable of. So I wouldn't call it an accurate leak so much as a well educated guess.

If you read the article this thread is about? After you dig through all of the waffle about him being trustworthy and "100% legit" the only thing is says is that "Zelda NX" is a launch title. That Nintendo wants to release Zelda on Wii U and NX at the same time. If we believe him, and I'm not sure I do, this is all the information his source gave him. Well, unless you count his source supposedly not telling him about Wii U games as proof that the Wii U has no games! Everything else is just an opinion piece.

And if you take that as face value, even if his source is "100%". Who's to say that "Zelda NX" is a port of Zelda U? Could it not be a portable Zelda or another port of an old game? It is the 30th anniversary of Zelda this year so Zelda as a launch title is a fairly safe bet.

@skywake: Lol I knew you'd say something to that effect. Call it what you want. We'll just have to wait and see, man.

To be honest, I'm not so much concerned with this article but moreso in doing some research on this guy's history to see if he truly is a source that has nailed a few things in the past. Maybe your time would be best spent looking into that, as well, as this article has already been talked to death. We all know you love playing the skeptic and naysayer, Skywake, and that's fine, but you're not really saying anything we haven't already said in this thread.

OF COURSE it can be another Zelda game.

OF COURSE this guy can be totally wrong.

Your opinion on his graphics processor leak for the Wii U is just that: your opinion. You consider it a guess, but I think that's rather silly when you take into account how diverse a field graphics processors are, especially when you factor in unique console variations and such. If you don't want to face the music, fine, but the fact remains that this guy leaked, accurately, the exact processor Wii U was going to have before Nintendo announced it.

We've all already said that stuff ad nauseum. I think this guy's credentials will give us a better insight into the feasibility of the current statements rather than just poking in to say the same things over again.

Well that's only a reasonable argument if we knew nothing about what the Wii U was. But in 2012 we knew quite a bit about what the Wii U was. We knew when it was launching which ruled out quite a few possibilities. We knew what the form factor was which ruled out even more. We knew approximately what the hardware was capable of based on the various demos of new games and ports. So to guess that it's a low powered part and then point to one of AMDs low powered parts? Even if you're not right you'll be close enough that some will give you credit for it.

Also there's something you haven't considered here. So many people make up stuff in order to gain website traffic. They all make educated guesses and pass them off as the gospel truth. Odds are that some of them get it right some of the time. So so what if he got it right once! I reckon I've been right more than a few times based on absolutely zero inside information. And just because I was right before doesn't make me automatically a reliable source now.

And yes you are right, I'm sceptical of anyone claiming to know what the NX is. Especially random bloggers. You know what I'm even more sceptical of? Random bloggers who make a point of repeatedly saying how trustworthy they are.

It's interesting to see peoples' reactions to these rumors. Some people just enjoy the speculation while some are just combative for some reason, as if it would be an insult to them personally if the rumor ended up being true in the end.

Personally I hope it's true, but like with any other rumor, I don't put much stock in it. Now if something concrete comes out similar to the TPHD icon in the eShop, I pay more attention

@Operative: maybe they're just sick and tired of it all? I know I am, I could happily spend the rest of my life without these "My Dad who works for Nintendo said NXNXNXNX Zelda U on NX" 'leaks'. I mean, if you find this sorta stuff interesting more power to you but there's no need to be so biased with your labelling, there's nothing whatsoever that points to one side being more 'combative' than the other.

While I have many doubts about the source, it's not like this is even that out there of a rumor.

@TheLastLugia: I mean, when people are getting legitimately upset at others for discussing the leak or having the gall to say "hey maybe this is true", yeah that's what I'd call combative.

TuVictus

Shinion

@Operative: where the heck is that happening? People getting 'legitimately upset'? Can you see them crying from your laptop/iPad/computer you're using? The only thing I can see here that could be warped to suit your argument is the 'idiot' comment, which has since been justified and explained quite clearly. So again, where are people getting 'upset'?

TuVictus

@TheLastLugia: I was referring to the internet in general, not here only, though I've seen many people here act in a similar manner to all the leaks that have happened in the past year or so that I've been visiting. Well, like you, really. Nothing wrong with it, like you said, you're sick of it. You can feel that way. I was just making an observation with my initial post.

TuVictus

Shinion

@Operative: On the 'internet in general', people get upset at 'SJWs', My Little Pony and in particular its fanbase, YouTube(rs) and very, very rarely serious matters, so I don't put any stock into that.

Glad I helped clear up your contribution.

Never trust a person who tells you how honest they are.
