It's inconclusive but it's definitely weird and worth noting. Not only is "New Ringfit" new terminology, the official title of the first game is "Ring Fit". Furthermore, these shipments are very small, in line with dev kit numbers, they could be for developing drivers, or they could be for internal playtesting, or they could be to show the press the new game once they've announced it and the NG Switch.
Clicks don't bait themselves.
They did this for Wii U GamePad. It did not go over well.Honestly I can see N taking advantage of the regulation and selling Switch 2 with a cheap battery while also selling separately a better battery (for big money).
Or shipments are very small, like expected sales for a game that's been on the market for 4 years?
Dude, you should be the last person to be saying this sort of stuff, lmao.
Small blessing, it means that the actual things we can look at (being the shipment leaks) don't get reported on. It's like looking at a fireworks show and failing to notice the sparks of a fire.
Nah spawn wave is a decent guy and makes great content, but it is lame that he decided to make a whole video about that dumb "leak".
“Hey don’t look at me I’m just telling you the news”
Guys don't spend $3000 on shit like this. It ain't that serious. We will see if a H1 release is real in just a few weeks.
I agree "New" next to Ringfit Adventure is interesting.
It's not something that happens with Nintendo, at least not to my recollection. They usually put out that Mario Kart 8 Switch bundle a few weeks before black friday, not in September.
If we follow the principles of the "6 months reveal to release" concept, the May release date probably means that we're getting news around November, December or even January time. Waiting a bit longer won't kill us.
Spending 3 grand for a chance to see when a new Nintendo console is releasing because you're obsessed with a march release is WILD.
We're reaching levels of unhinged that defies belief.
I don't think anyone here would actually spend $3k on that. Let's not be melodramatic.
Don't tell others how to spend their money.
Depends on what he's saying. If he's just reporting it as a rumor that may or may not be true then yeah that's a bit frustrating since it's been widely debunked. But imo there's no issue with making a video about why it's bunk.
Which probably isn't that much more than he already told us.
Pay him $3000 to tell us what he already shared and we already know? lmao.
Seriously we could give him a 10K for the details he has on Metroid Prime 4
Yeah I watched the video, very clearly seems like he doesn't believe it at all. He also clarified the fact that it's a rumour and that I said as such at the time. It was mainly a video discussing his thoughts on specific pieces of information, in addition to why he thinks it's bunk.
Spawn Wave is one of those guys who pretends to care about accuracy and does the whole "I'm just a middle-man" thing. The fence sitter thing is pretty lame.
$3000 FOR THIS???????
That's mainly what reporters seem to do. If one of those kinds of people at least accurately talk about the leak/rumour and discuss it properly, I don't take issue with them. It's mainly the reactionary groups like WFFC or those fanboy news-sites that I genuinely hate. They're the ones that are just wrong for views.
The framing of a headline matters more than the articles contents to 80% of the readers tbh. Guy knows what he's doing lol
No, a proper reporter would follow up with sources, which I don't think Spawnwave did.
A lot of places like that don't let you do a monthly subscription
That's fair. I'd still argue it's nowhere near as bad as the other "news" outlets who talked about/spread the rumour, but it's still not great.
I've got 3, take it or leave it.
Do the companies listed have any meaningful relationship with Nintendo? They look like third party importers.
If I were to make a guess, Click Entertainment (that deals in video games consoles it seem) and the other company is simply distributing to other places. Distributors handles the logistics of sending to different stores/locations, dividing up large shipments into smaller shipments.
Looked into it and, yup, Nintendo is listed as a publisher that they work with.
Right, where did "BS INTL NETWORKS PTE LTD" come from specifically? Paid access, or free access?
Nah it'll confirm nothing at all and be a waste of money since I'm sure confidential materials won't be visible on any of these manifests
It seems like Nintendo is using a service where the contents are comically hard to view because of this express reason. Keeping it private is, naturally, top priority to them.
Ah I take it was only shown in paid access then probably. I haven't been able to retrace the steps using free access, so that's why I was asking about the methodology. At least I CAN see company name for majority of stuff talked about here - just not for "New Ringfit Adventure", strangely enough.
Nah, it's not Nintendo, it's just shipment data aggregator websites.
Yeah that's fair.
It is basically on the level of the Series S at that point. Not literally because of the CPU and memory bandwidth, but those 4 TFLOPS would be totally legit.
