Or Nintendo Legal found him and said "We know who you are, we know you're talking to someone. For your sake and theirs, please stop now."

No he didnt, he said it was Pokemon Niji which translates to Rainbow, Niji has since been confirmed to be the codename for Sun/Moon.

Yeah actually this is probably what happened.

Yeah I got too caught up in the names. He even had the logo right. It doesn't mean all the info he leaked was legit though

Seems like the source was legit.

i dont believe this for one second... Nintendo is being super safe with any information about the NX that it wont even give tech specs to third party developers yet they will contact this friend of yours and give him valuable information....

So Niji (Rainbow) apparently was confirmed as the codename for Pokemon Moon/Sun too?

Yeah, it looks like Trev's sources are legit. Zelda NX + NX launch this fall, Wii U will see one more big release (likely Paper Mario U) and then it's over.

Just as planned, Zelda being multiplatform just like Twilight Princess.

I guess it can't be helped then? Nintendo can only do so much at this point with both hardwares not able to get much going despite all their big releases. At least Wii U can go out with Zelda and potentially Paper Mario.

Where did you read this ? Others knowledgable people (like Tamaki) said the otherwise.

Tamaki was recently several time proved that he is wrong.
