Far out there were some bloody awful hoaxes haha. Remember this thing? XD
Plus the fact that they completely flooded the site, with like half of all the threads in the Nintendo sections being NX rumors. So annoying. XD |
Ugh, yeah. Although I think that thing was quite a bit before I actually joined the site, was lurking a few months before the Switch was officially revealed.
Honestly, how bad some of the leaks like that were, along with the fact that some of Nintendo's patents just looked odd, and that nobody really explained the concept of a hybrid well without coming off as gimmicky, made me really against the idea of a Nintendo hybrid in general and also made me stop caring about discussion around it. There was a long period of time where I just got bored of waiting, especially because the Wii U was so dead. I remember thinking to myself once the Switch was finally revealed with it's first trailer, "Welp, I guess I'm done with Nintendo." Because the concepts people threw out there were really selling the legitimacy of such an idea short, not to mention I still had the mindset that they could only compete by building a powerful device. Of course just a few days later I had more or less come around to it and by the time I joined the site I was pretty positive with the system. Even after the January presentation I still thought the system could be successful.
Luckily the system is so much more practical than that little piece of crap right there xD
