well the embargo has passed and what was released at the media summit was completely different to this. so quite clearly, false

Well I hope it's fake, I want Metroid to have an online mode!

Sounds too realistic/possible to me, to be false. I'm working on the assumption that its 100% true - and pretty much in line with what I would expect Nintendo to be working on.

Most happy about the Metroid news - this is exactly the sort of change I have been hoping for, and finally shows off the "point" of the WiiConnect service.

Can't wait until E3 now... :)

 the best lies are wrapped in a small amount of truth

dude, the embargo is finished, and none of those games were shown or talked about at the media summit.

Therefore, this is fake. 

There are only 2 times I can recall reading a forum  post that claimed to have secret information about Nintendo that turned out to be true and in both cases the claims seemed so insane that they were immediately disregarded by most people:

The first one was someone who claimed to be the son of a person who was high-up at NOA; his claim was that The Legend of Zelda on the Gamecube was cell shaded, had a similar look to a link to the past, and sailing was the main form of transportation.

The other one was someone who claimed that Nintendo had created a motion sensitive one handed remote which also acted like a pointer on the screen.

In both cases it is possible that these people actually had insider information (after all there are thousands of people who would have know about these things ahead of time) but you also have to consider that a broken clock is correct twice every day.

It's fake because it's a circular quote chain, there's no real source, whoever posted this is just messing with everyone. All they showed behind closed doors was Metriod Prime, and that was for print media only. The media summitt was only for the summer releases to get them some exposure because E3 would come too late for them for the most part.

I hope it's not fake... That was like a dreamy set of information. A new Zelda, Online Play for most of the major titles, even more First party content. But then again, if it was real we might get screwed over because Nintendo might have to change a bunch of things and delay the games. Either way I wish that guy hadn't posted that at all.

Well that would really be reaching for the stars.  Haha but what about WiiConnect24 and added online multiplayer through downloadable content.  Hell I think a magazine talked about that a long time ago. 

As for my take on this a lot of stuff sound very very legit. Things talking about MP3, Disaster, Project Hammer, and the N projects unnannounced. All could sound very legit. Everything pretty much sounds like it could happen except the whole Zelda screening. I just don't understand why you'd show that behind doors to a media print session. I mean what could they get out of that. But I mean it's the most legit sounding rumor I've ever heard. And I've heard millions for the Wii/Revo. But 95% of rumors are fake so this doesn't have a good chance. Just guess we'll have to wait for E3.
