@yuwarite You did not prove me wrong. I made those comments and thus, I determine whether or not they were speculation. They absolutely were. There is no proving that wrong, no matter how you twist my words. Me having some information as far as discussing it with people behind the scenes does not stop it from being speculation.

Respect is earned. You implied that I couldn't read over comments I made about a video game. An attack. You cast the first stone there.

I'm not apologising. NintendoLife trusts me because I have proven to them privately time and again I can be trusted. I'm above the ToS.

Not reading anymore of your pedantic comments, so don't waste your time replying. Tread carefully if you want to continue on this site and don't be so rude in future when someone corrects you.

@Dakt Because it's still a rumour and it's not official if they're just saying this stuff privately and not representing the company.

Play Nice

@WireWare This is not a baseless rumour. Two trusted sources have been speaking to NoA employees. These are two reputable writers. That's enough basis for a rumour post.

I'm down for some Lady Link!

@yuwarite I never claimed that. It was just speculation.

@Maxz Thanks. I don't lie about this stuff.

@Vee_Flames Not a problem.

@Vee_Flames I never said SFZ was getting delayed. I said that NoE wanted it to be because of concerns among their QA department regarding the motion controls - all of that was totally true and never disproven.

I should have known that you guys would be all over this with your puns

@roboshort Thank you. I always try to be as clear as I can. That tweet was part of a series of tweets about the subject. Sites picked that one out and ran with it as a story, ignoring the others that gave it context, which is unfortunate.

@roboshort Let me lay it down for you.

Devil's Third - Damon Baker himself said NoA was not publishing it to Nintendo Enthusiast. They later changed their minds. I never claimed it wouldn't be released - only that NoA wasn't publishing it when I said so in July. If that wasn't the case, they wouldn't have pulled it from the eShop and it would have been at E3.

Paper Mario - I have almost nothing to do with this. Emily Rogers was in charge of that, and she never said there was an announcement coming a week ago.

Also, I never said it was less powerful than PS4. That was a bit of speculation based upon a rumour going around that news sites wrongfully reported on. People often report on my speculation a as fact which is annoying for me as well. I do not claim that it's more or less powerful than PS4.

@BLPs There isn't one aspect of this comment that I don't love.

The Wonderful 101 - still my favourite Wii U game.

@Varathius Apparently, different people have different opinions. Preposterous, I know.

There's no such thing as 'Nintendo of Japan'. Call it NCL or just Nintendo - because they are a Japanese company.

Some good footage of one of the SEGA VR games is over on Unseen64's YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uQG0tZqaKUg

There's also this promotional stuff from CES: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mwY-EaUQ_Yc

@accc They didn't port Lair to the Wii. Lair was a Sony produced exclusive. They used the technology that supported Lair and adapted it to build an engine for the Wii.

I don't think that's fair. I know that you guys at least held off until you'd played the multiplayer in more suitable conditions.

@argh4430 I guess......?

@KryptoKrunch Unseen64 had nothing to do with that report, and you shouldn't be so accusatory about things you clearly have very little insight into.

😁

@IceClimbers Not heard anything about that.

@epicmartin7 Sure. You can find it on my YouTube.

@epicmartin7 I'm not sure how much help I'd be able to be, but hit me up on Twitter and I'll see if we can work something out.

@KeithTheGeek Why? For reporting on a rumour? We're not necessarily saying this or that will happen, just that this is what is being said. We're not fortune tellers.

Sounds good to me

@Kilroy Well, nobody knows for sure yet whether or not it was rejected.

@Nictendo64 Unseen64 is a historical archive for games that were never released and cut content; that sort of thing. It has absolutely nothing to do with this.

@Boidoh Doesn't he just suck?

@Dakt That is an incredibly rude and condescending way to look at that, especially given that you have zero evidence to back it up, just the mental gymnastics you just went through to come to that baseless theory.

On the other hand, sites like Nintendo Life and NWR, plus reliable sources like Emily Rogers have backed up everything I've said thus far; people who actually talk to NoA sources too.

You're welcome to believe what you want, but for what possibly reason would all of these different sites lie about this nonsense? What would that possibly achieve? Think about it. I am trying to help. You know nothing of my sources or my contacts and stop pretending like you do. Anyone who has worked with me on the past will tell you that I am 100% on the level. Even the editors of Nintendo Life themselves will tell you this. Look at this story, with input from none other than Alex Ward, which NL themselves ran: https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2015/06/exclusive_we_almost_got_a_wii_u_f-zero_created_by_burnout_studio_criterion

@Sir_JBizzle I have no problems with you disagreeing, but you seem to be implying that Unseen64 is behind all of today's revelation and that we are some how the sources for Emily's information. That is factually incorrect. We are not. She, and many other sites, have revealed today directly from THEIR OWN NoA sources the truth about the situation, as printed above. Neither myself or anyone from Unseen was related to this. Believe what you want, but you seem to be under that misconception so I am simply correcting you.

@Sir_JBizzle "There were people inside of Nintendo's Treehouse who didn't believe Devil's Third was a quality game. Unseen64's report was correct."

There you have it. From the horse's mouth.

@Sir_JBizzle Not if the facts show that it was the truth. That's how crediting/discrediting works.

@TheLastLugia Here's what really, honestly happened, as bizarre as the truth is:

When I reported it last week, it was as I said; Nintendo of America was NOT publishing it. Officially, the publisher is XSEED. NoA passed on it due to quality issues, as evidenced by today's previews.

Now, NoA is moving to reacquire the publishing rights. It's not just myself saying this. Here's NintendoWorldReport's article: http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/rumor/40743/nintendo-of-america-reconsidering-stance-on-devils-third

And NintendoEnthusiast: http://nintendoenthusiast.com/news/rumor-fan-outcry-prompted-nintendo-of-america-to-reconsider-devils-third/?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter

And NintendoEverything: http://nintendoeverything.com/the-strange-situation-surrounding-devils-third-in-north-america/

@TheLastLugia I would love to tell everyone what I heard

See? I wasn't lying. I was trying to help.

@SuperWiiU That would cost money that Nintendo is not willing to give them.

@Aromaiden Absolutely. You can find me at 'Unseen64Tamaki' - https://www.youtube.com/Unseen64Tamaki

@Aromaiden Absolutely, if people would like to stop abusing me for knowing this, then I will gladly go ahead and do a video.

@Nintend0ro Very mature of you.

@locky-mavo You are wrong. I did not take back anything. The current chipset they are working with is not as powerful as PS4. That remains true.

I will talk more about why I know this in the future.

@PrinnyLink It was cancelled in around 2009.

For the record, it was from Unseen64 Podcast Episode 2, which also had Metroid 3DS details. https://www.patreon.com/creation?hid=1647106

Great review!

@JJtheTexan Thanks so much! I appreciate that. We have lots of other cool unseen projects like this coming up on the site in the near future.

@Punished_Boss In terms of the Mario brand, do not forget. Certain aspects of the Spikers' wrestling were actually somewhat sadistic, as you can see in the Waluigi clip. 'Code of honour' is paraphrased from my conversation with the developer, but it is entirely accurate, I assure you.

@GeminiSaint That came from someone who was very closely involved with Spikers. They were very confident in what they told me. 'Code of honour' was paraphrased from what they actually said, but that was the general gist of it. There is more info in the full article on the website.

@sketchturner Yes, I have spoken to a former Next Level employee who told me they developed a prototype for the 3DS based on Metroid.

@Jaz007 Well, you can see more of the quotes from my exchanges with the source on Unseen64 if you want a little more detail, but basically, the way I interpreted it was that Nintendo viewed parts of its gameplay premise as unsportsmanly and dishonourable. You could sort of 'punish' the other players, like you see Waluigi do to Mario in the wrestling clip. It's slightly sadistic for a Mario game, as you can see. They didn't agree with the wrestling aspect in that way.
