Seconding this. I think it's best to avoid this and I think other general guidelines, or a general ethos, would be helpful:

  • don't try and force people to share your perspective; whether it's for or against a source, it's ultimately up to individual users.
  • if someone asks "is X a reliable source", answer patiently and in good faith. Don't jump at people for asking questions.
  • disbelieve sources if you want, but don't waste time disparaging people.

Personally, even with information from people I trust, I treat it as something which isn't concrete information, but which is potentially true and worth considering.
Quoting this because I don't want it to get lost on the bottom of the page. And I agree, we should have some guidelines in place for such cases.

Back on Era we did have a couple of lines on this matter in the OP of a couple of our Direct Speculation Threads that I were coincidentally written by me, but I don't recall the wording and my account does no longer exist.
 
I wish I could go back in time to 2015 or so and show my past self this headline just to see the look on my face:

"Bowser is going to prison for selling Nintendo Switch hacks"​

 
So now that we know XC3 is releasing this year and that the Switch will probably last at least two more years (until the last DLC for MK8 launches), things are looking much better for a possible XCX port, right?

I mean, Monolith is most likely moving on to the next hardware after XC3 is completed, which should leave them some room to have a team working on porting X to the Switch. And that might even mean that their first Switch 2 game could be XCX2? That sounds like a plausible timeline, they would probably leave the XC line alone for a while to avoid fatigue.

I just really want to play XCX and I don't want to do it on my Wii U.
 
So...

Banjo Kazooie was announced for NSO on 10th December.

Majora's Mask was announced for NSO on 20th January.

Goldeneye will be announced for NSO on 30th February.

It's pretty obvious at this point that we're going to have to wait until all of the currently announced N64 titles hit NSO before they announce the next batch of games.

After Majora, we still got

  • F-Zero X
  • Kirby 64
  • Mario Golf
  • Pokemon Snap
  • Custom Robo (JP only)
  • Custom Robo V2 (JP only)
to go through.

Let's just hope they speed up the process by releasing the Custom Robos alongside two of the above four games on the JP service when they come.

Honestly I think it'd be pretty cool if they threw Custom Robo + V2 onto the North American service too, just for funsies. They don't even need to translate 'em if it's gonna be a heck of a lot of work.
 
Honestly if I WAS an insider I'd just tell everyone I was really good at guessing. I don't want that label, I'd just be hounded day in day out by people looking for the hot leaks.

As someone who wasn't in a Video Game Community until recently, I appreciated how reasonable this group was when educating me about how the world of leaks and rumors worked. I hope that we will, collectively, be as kind to anyone as you all were to me.

  • disbelieve sources if you want, but don't waste time disparaging people.
Whatever the reason for some people's behavior, if they're not monetizing, or pretending to be a journalist, or fueling toxicity - well, I think they can be treated more with pity than scorn. No amount of negativity will help the situation - and if someone leaves The Internet because people were nasty to them, that's bad, no matter what kind of drama kings they may have been. Just ignore them, it's better for everyone.

Would be neat, but those games apparently have a crapload of text and they were not shown off in the US/PAL September Direct streams, so I assume they're not coming to the western services.

I just wonder how they're gonna handle their release considering their JP only status. Do a double release alongside F-Zero X/Kirby 64/Mario Golf/Pokemon Snap when they come out for the JP service? Compensate western users with western exclusive N64 titles like say, Pokemon Puzzle League or Crusin' USA to fill in their shoes on the US/PAL service? Worst case scenario: just update the JP service and do absolutely nothing with the US/PAL services in return?

siiiigh probably just ignore us for a month or two

Luckily I know a BABY amount of Japanese so I'm gonna struggle my way through the JP versions lmao

An addendum: learn what a leak/rumor is vs speculation/opinion.

That's something someone who guessed February 9th or 10th for the direct WOULD say.
 
Best thing about Miiverse were all the Expand Dong memes that showed-up when you used Donkey Kong in that one Smash stage.

Are you NateTheHate‘s little brother?
Little in a physical sense

Brother in a "if he ever invited me for a beer, even though I don't drink, so he needs someone to drive for him, even though I can't drive, so he needs emotional support, even though I'm emotional wreck riding with someone drunk, and we realize this isn't gonna work out until we get in a discussion of why Mario Sunshine isn't great, and we eventually convince are ourselves it isn't actually that bad" sense.
 
Love going on Twitter and seeing a big individual advocating for individuals in America to have the right to own nuclear weapons.....

Wow

Well what do you expect people to do when their neighbor gets a cast off APC from the military? You gotta keep up with the Jonses. It’s bad enough they’ve got a perfect family with a perfect lawn and all that.
 
Happy Friday night Fami! I've just finished 6 hours of appointments and errands 🥲 I'm at a restaurant getting some takeout and it's so weird and unsettling to be around a cavalcade of unmasked people. Well there's one couple with masks. But it's shoulder to shoulder at the bar. I'm standing away from there. Anyone else still weirded out being around unmasked folks? I'm in the American South btw.
 
Hm.. we have 4 games slated for this year, but without a set release month (Splatoon 3, Mario + Rabbids 2, Bayo 3 and BoTW2).. and 5 months without a Nintendo published game filling them (May, August, October, November and December);

Granted, nothing that prevents them of having two releases a month, as long they're far apart

Rabbids 2 won't be until late 2022, if it makes 2022 at all.
 
Hello friends. I am finally able to check in on a funzies thread for the first time in a while. How are we all doing
Having two kids is much more stressful then having one which is much more stressful than having none.

At least according to recent studies. Conducted in my brain.


Anyway yes that's about how I'm doing.

I heard that on your podcast, Nate! But since it wasn't officially pushed back, I listed it anyway..

Though, I guess missing this last Direct is a giveaway. M+R1 was an August game, but that also was first revealed at the same year's E3
 
Nate, what time and day will your podcast be released? I want to plan my entire weekend around listening to it. Might order a pizza, put on my snuggliest pajamas, sit in my finest listening chair, use the latest and greatest Manscaped products, and so on.

It's far too early in the year to officially delay the game on Ubi's end. And things in development could change for the better and make late 2022. The only reason I made mention of the game last month was due to people expecting the game in H1 and I knew that was never going to happen.

We hope to record tonight and I'll release it tomorrow morning, if everything goes smooth.

We're doing well now that you're here. We missed you. All of our memeing and shit posting was just to hid the tears from the crushing loneliness we felt without you. 😢

Nope, you're not allowed to be a fan of video games. You're in full business mode all of the time and everything you say is a leak! 😤 In fact, you just used the word addendum. An addendum is sort of like DLC. Are you hinting at DLC? Fighters Pass 3 confirmed!?!?!?!?!?!? 😱 I gotta make a YouTube video about this!
 
Had no headaches and took some time these last couple of days going through legends some more. This game is pure fun and I am loving it. I,pretty much game sparingly lately due to potential headaches caused from playing too much. I don’t play handheld much either though I played some today for a change

Oddly enough I got somehow just convinced that I need to play Mario Sunshine again

I guess it depends but in public I just know the maskless are probably unvaccinated and don’t follow any sort of guidance. If it is more immediate people that I trust I could be ok. How is the wife doing? Hope she continues to get better.

So many of the posts in there are making me laugh for this very reason

which is very unfortunate given the discussions at hand

How's everyone doing on this Friday night? I had a medical procedure yesterday and spent the day leading up to it and after relaxing, sleeping and gaming. So, unfortunately it seems I've tired myself out of gaming a bit and can't get into anything tonight. Usually I'd probably be out on a night like this, but... covid (even if it unfortunately doesn't seem to be stopping anyone else in this city)

So, the energy has to go somewhere and Famiboards is it lol (hence this triple post, I am sorry lol)
 
The announcement of Xenoblade Chronicles 3 made me pick up XC2 again, and I gotta say, I hope this gets more engaging fairly soon. I really like the environments and some of the character moments are pretty charming, but the story itself doesn't really have my interest yet.

Gonna stick with it though, I did like the first one a lot.

My past few medical procedures I have been out of it too...mostly just cause of high blood sugar. When they put me under, it seems to really cause stress on my body.

That's reassuring to hear, thanks for sharing. I've only been under twice before but not quite as intense as this I think. I was doing pretty well yesterday (sleepy + calm) but today my energy is way off. My body simultaneously wants to get back to business but is also still shocked by what happened I suppose. I had to fast for the day before and clean out my system too so it has been an adjustment back.

Good news is, so far so good on results!
