There you go. Never believe rumors guys.

Nintendo also denied Nikkei reports of a 3DS XL model then like 3 weeks later they officially announced 3DS XL. Companies deny true things all the time.

Except that companies often deny rumors that wind up being true... like the 3DS XL... or delays on Zelda and Star Fox... so, maybe sometimes you should.

We all can see the pattern here, Nintendo - stop denying it.

Like others have said, just because Nintendo denies it doesn't mean that it's not true.

Of course they'll deny, they dont want people to stop buying the console.

Idk, I'm more inclined to believe Nikkei than Nintendo.

Nikkei: Nintendo is releasing a bigger 3DS.
Nintendo: No we're not.
Nintendo later: Here is the Nintendo 3DS LL!

Nikkei, 2012 first half: Nintendo is releasing 3DS in China.
Nintendo: We currently don't have the plan.
On November 2012, iQue 3DS XL was released.

Seeing the pattern?

Of course they denied it, we just have to wait and see if it's true or not.

They have a track record of straight lies, remember :

Nikkei leaking the 3DS XL : http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/news/30431/nikkei-says-larger-3ds-redesign-potentially-coming-this-summer

Then Nintendo denying it : http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2012-06-04/nintendo-denies-nikkei-report-of-larger-3ds-wii-u-price


Still it's shameful how they straightly lie, they really take their buyers for dumb people and have no respect, they should just ignore the leak.
