1. Nintendo has confirmed that they won't be revealing any hardware.
http://www.gamrreview.com/news/91442/nintendo-quashes-new-hardware-rumor/

Yeah, they also said they wouldn't be cutting the Wii U's price. Companies lie. "Insiders" have no reason to.

Oh yeah? No reason to lie? Right, because getting attention and click baiting people isn't a reason. Tons of "insiders" have been wrong before. I think all the supposed insiders are mishearing things and they think there's a new platform being revealed, and oh wait, there is! The QOL platform. Not new hardware. And saying that they said they wouldn't cut the Wii U's price is a lie. They never said that. They said they had no plans to. They changed their mind. Here they're not saying they have no plans, they're just flat out saying no, nothing at E3. They might have new hardware later this year, but not at E3.


2. QOL platform will rollout in April 2015, won't be an gaming platform, but will be integrated with games.

I never said it was a gaming platform.

Yeah but you said it would be later than April.


3. Then why would they trademark Pokken Fighters? Doesn't sound like an RPG to me.
http://nintendoeverything.com/the-pokemon-company-trademarks-pokken-fighters-and-pokken-tournament-in-the-us/

Game companies trademark names all the time. Doesn't mean that they will be used, and doesn't count as an idecator of anything. The Pokemon company also trademarked Pokemon Orange. And just because it says "fighters" doesn't mean it's automatically a fighting game.

Okay, but again, why would they trademark it if the footage was of a different game made by a different company? But whatever, there's a 0% chance of this happening. There will almost certainly never be a mainline Pokemon RPG on consoles, and they wouldn't go about it in the way you described, if they did at all. That is too bold a prediction. I'd be less surprised if they revived Star Fox, F-Zero, and Captain Rainbow simultaneously with huge AAA budget games.

5. You admit they're probably working on it, but don't think they'll show anything? They'll show something, just not much. Just a tease, a la Skyward Sword's single image reveal. We'll see a lot more at E3 2015. Remember, Yarn Yoshi and Fire Emblem x SMT were revealed pretty early in development too.

I think Nintendo's done doing cock-teases like that. They've already expressed a desire to only reveal game info right before it's release.

Right, because Fire Emblem x Shin Megami Tensei and Yarn Yoshi certainly don't qualify here. That wasn't a cock tease at all. You're contradicting yourself now.


6. No doubt it'd get a name, but I'm still confident there's a chance it'll come this holiday, a month before SSB.

I'd bet money it won't.

 
On what basis? At least there's a supposed leaked release schedule in favor of it releasing this year, there's nothing but speculation and pessimistic outlook saying it won't. You think they'll make a Pokemon RPG and a Star Fox game, but they can't get X out this year? Come on.

8. I actually think it'll release here in the states before Japan. Previous titles were only voiced in English. The anime was the first Bayonetta media to be voiced in Japanese.

There's already precident for the games releasing in Japan first. Maybe it'll release simultaneously, but definitely not in the US first

Yeah, there's precedent, and look how that worked out? Badly. They'll at least release simultaneously. Japan could care less about Bayonetta, and doesn't really care about the Wii U all that much either.

14. Zelda will be revealed, but there's not a chance in hell it'll be this year. Spring 2015 at the earliest.

I disagree.

There is no reason to believe it'll be out this year, and you're just setting yourself up for disappointment.
