Well, I'm hoping this one is true, I have enough trouble convincing people that SPOnG are on the money a lot more than they believe. Plus I want this sodding system in my hands ASAP and a the "traditional" Spring 2007 launch for Europe, that was looking likely, was way too far off.

Nice :)

How will Sony react? Will they be able to match both MS and Nin with a global release?

For those doubting of the validity of SPOnG’s Nintendo reporting, just take a look at the past year of coverage;

We began 2005 with an exclusive one-to-one interview with NCL president Satoru Iwata. This was followed by another exclusive one-to-one with legendary games designer Shigeru Miyamoto. Since then, we have regularly broken some of the biggest Nintendo news this year, with Iwata’s GDC Zelda-revealing keynote being pegged, as was the final unveiling of the Revolution controller at the Tokyo Game Show, the slippage of Twilight Princess into 2006 and most recently, the as-yet unannounced Mario Paint DS, a piece that was widely and shamelessly plagiarised.

Odd then that many of the sites that will run a story broken by SPOnG without attribution, will in the next article call into question our credibility.

Don't worry, I'm not questioning you, per se. I often give people grief when they see that a story is from Spong and their response is, "Oh, Spong, will treat that as a total rumour then." On Revolution-Europe they had a story from Gaming Horizons about Mario Paint DS; when I pointed out that it was you that broke the story, and GH had failed to credit you as the source, the writer of the piece said how he would most likely downgrade the piece from "news" to "rumour". I asked him why he didn't question it, when he thought the news was coming purely from GH, I didn't get a response to that one.

Why is it that IGN dont have the story then? I would like to think this story is true and can believe it.
I sometimes think that IGN do not have their fingers on the pulse as much as they should, I thought journalism was 24-7, IGN seem to go days without any news when in fact there is.
I prefer to come to spong, even if the news turns out to be just a rumour at least it is something, and most times there is no smoke without fire.

Yes, cue Zeo to point out the level of bullshit this site is.

And please, don't pretend it's just Zeo.

This place is a f**king joke to gamers and the industry. Multiple people in that very link point out how this "exclusive" is bull.

You people really should stop spreading crap like this. You have no exclusive. You're lying.

Every time you have said this before, you have been wrong. Every single time.

You are a clown. A joke. A pathetic trolling excuse for a human being.

You come here, and make your assertions, and when we are proven wrong, you're nowhere to be seen. You're a coward. A girl. A jessie.

ROFL.

Holy s**t, you're insane.

You do realize that GAF is where multiple people from EGM, 1Up.com, and GameSpot post, right? You do realize they have more insiders than probably any other gaming forum on the net, right? You do realize how respected that place is, right?

You do realize you just lied out of your ass, right?

And to the idiot that posted after you, no. You're an idiot.

OK.

I challenge you to stop hiding and whining like a kid. Let's make it real. Lets meet, and let's have a pissing competition - whatever it is, I'll beat you.

I hope Nintendo will verify it's true this year.

But what happens if Nintendo delay it, afteral we're used to seeing 6 month delays from them (especially in Europe). I think we all know Spong will be called a liar, but I hope it's true, cause that would really show the nay-sayers PLUS I want my Revolution sooner rather than later :)
