Other rumors he got wrong at the exact same time: "Mainline 3DS Pokemon game" (X/Y) "needs roughly two more years before it's released." It was released less than one year after he made that statement. "The first NFC game for Wii U will be a next gen Battrio game coming out in all regions." No hint of Battrio, a Pokemon arcade game. Instead we got Rumble U. "Nintendo’s core first party line up for E3 will be [...] a double dose of Kirby with the return of Tilt ‘n Tumble for Wii U and Kirby’s Pop Up Pannick for Nintendo 3DS" (neither of these materialized), "a new HD Yoshi’s Island game" (no), "Donkey Kong Land Returns for Nintendo 3DS" (released before E3 even took place, also calling it DK Land does not indicate that he knew it would be a remake of DKCR), "new Fatal Frame for Wii U" (no hint of this). He thought the PS4 would launch with a bundled device he called the Omniviewer, "a thin, lite and slick head mounted autosteroptic display that can track the users head and presents a 360 image view with semi transparent AMOLED screens. Adds extra augmented reality information outside of the TV screen." Never heard of it, have you? He thought the XBO would be "2 to 3 times more powerful than [PS4]." lol. His comments on Super Smash Bros. are the funniest. "Sakurai really took to heart the complaints about the single player game and the online game. He is solving this by making the single player very deep this time done by the Tales series people and is planning to have a Network Beta of the game for download the day of Nintendo’s E3 show. This way they can beta test online for about one year before they ship the game." This guy is full of shit. If I was allowed to get 75% of my predictions wrong, I could've guessed there would be a 3D Mario and a 3DS Zelda game for Holiday 2013, too. And I certainly could have guessed that older Pokemon would get new forms this gen. That one was practically free. |
Like I said his predictions for Nintendo have been pretty good. Kirby 3DS didnt come out at holiday time, but it is scheduled to be released in the next 2 months, so hes not that far off. he was wrong about Kirby Wii U, but I wouldnt be shocked if it is being worked on, it just didnt get released yet. In terms of the Pokemon NFC figures, was he really that far off, the 1st NFC game was Pokemon, just not the one he said. I'm not saying the guy is perfect but hes closer to 75 percent accurate in terms of his Nintendo predictions. He also predicted the Xbox One to be 2 - 3 times stronger, yet admitted that he had very little details about what Microsoft was up to.
