Another day, another email claiming to offer us an exclusive glimpse of something Nintendo Revolution-related. This time, what purports to be an early advertising campaign, slated to go live around the time Microsoft launches its Xbox 360.

SPOnG believes that March of next year is a little soon to be seeing the Revolution launch anywhere, though of course we’ll have to see. Let us know what you think in the Super SPOnG Family Computer Forum.

I kind of like it, but nothing to suggest it is/isn't real though.

Massive lie. Spong seems to publish anything that some retard photoshops. If I took a crap, added the words "Nintendo Revolution controller" and added some retarded "insider" story I'm sure spong would front-page it.

It's a rubbish ad.

You've gotta admit, they are funny though.

It is slightly interesting to note that this and the last "insider ad leak" both mentioned March/Spring 2006 as something significant. Either it's the same person/group behind the first "leak", or someone capitalising on the possible confusion created by the first one, you just know there are people who will want to believe this is genuine.

Given that we don't publish new stories on any other page that the "front", regardless of the article's apparent newsworthy-ness, then you're spot on.

Still, one can't deny it's a laugh to see the latest hoax (or viral) that's been spat out into the InterWeb.

The reasoning is quite simple.

1. If it IS all real, you'd look like a dick.
2. If it isn't, the people who sent the "exclusive" look like a dick.

It looks very similar in styling to the DS ads, and could even be real. But I massively doubt it, because of that date.
