Nintenchris Posted January 20, 2006 Author Share Posted January 20, 2006 Yeah strange aint it... why have links leading you to what you think is big news... only to send you round in circles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamba Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 Oh cmon guys.... its a joke. It's meant to show that people who want Nintendo news like us are so frustrated that it feels like we are going in circles. The addition of megaton is just adding insult to injury about useless speculation and hype. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassiel Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 Not only yesterday's but last years date too.Look closely.It's 2005!Weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 Defo agree with Jamba, plus, look at the writers; Tittynoobs or something. This is what being a Nintendo fan is all about, either you know what's going down, or you're going in circles speculating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 They must be reaaaaly bored. I assume so. Revolution Channel + No decent news = really crappy channel. This is why Matt didn't want to launch the channel just yet, but they gave in to readers. They should have waited, at least until the name was officially announced, less buggerising around later.

Yeah, they should of released the channel later...too little info so they could of still used the gamecube section like before. And Cube, i was at school :P i just went on a friends comp at lunch!

The Peeps Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 Sorry but I missed what the whole megaton thing was, I assume it was some speculation much like the Nintendo ON? someone help me out? :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamba Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 Megaton was a big super-hype fest that came around E3 (i think) a while back. Speculation turned into good will and that became faith and then on to believing the lieeeees! Anyways. We saw a similar thing happen at E3 and many ppl got duped by the hype and speculation. It was proclaimed to be Megaton the second coming. This instance of making Nintendo news when there is none is becoming more common and is generally labelled as MEGATON if it is unsubstantiated.

vicious77 Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 the first megaton was created in famitsu mag in japan where they hinted that something huge was going to happen like nintendo buying capcom or something... then it turned out that it was just some naruto game that was coming out only in japan..

Konfucius Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 I have the feeling that IGN are pretty annoyed that they know nothing about what really is going on behind closed doors and therefore they make up things to keep readers interested. I remember comments like, in a few days or weeks we will know more, Matt posting his desktop for no apparent reason with Link as a wallpaper and a Revo discussion on the IGN boards open. And then when they could test the Revo controller they were totally overwhelmed and excited, writing articles of future use and lots of mock-ups; so I assume they knew nothing we didn't know about the controller before TGS and they're also left in the dark about the 3rd secret, Revo's power and how many games are in developement.
