Not talking about the presentation itself, just questioning the information aspect of this "leak"
The information aspect of this leak is that there's a Switch exclusive being revealed by the end of the month.
Not that hard to understand really.
Were you aware of the possibility of this game releasing for Switch in the near future? No.
Now you are.
boom, new information.
I don't trust NicoWav in any way.
Edit: Wait, was the Pokemon Stars thing even from LKD or am I misremembering things?
Yeah, I think I'm just misremembering things. What was it that she (certifiably) leaked again?

Mario Rabbids RPG
Dark Souls 3
I forget if there's much else, that's just software. She's gotten hardware leaks right except for that mistake with Switch size dimensions.
My exact thinking.
Has either thing actually been confirmed or backed by reliable sources?
People shouldn't complain about leaks. Just stay away from these kinds of threads, don't go out of your way to look at details and you'll have your surprises. Some people want the leaks. Not defending her as I don't care either way, just thought it strange.
Anyways, the game looks nice from what can be seen in those pictures. The artwork looks very good.

Attack of the Tokyo Monsters 2?
I'd be in.
Edit: nvm just saw a couple pages ago

I'm strictly talking software here. Didn't she also get things wrong about the (content of the) Switch reveal trailer? I was wrong, so she didn't leak Pokemon Stars, no? That means the one big game that is backed by Eurogamer was not leaked by her.
Also:
Beyond Good & Evil 2 as a Switch exclusive
Xenoblade Chronicles X Port
Koei Tecmo Star Fox Warriors Pitch
Mario & Skyrim at launch
Splatoon as a pack-in
Telltale's Guardians of the Galaxy port
And a bunch of other stuff
Only things she said about Switch reveal was that it was going to be revealed in a 3 minute trailer mostly focusing on the hardware and a few games.
Sounds right to me.
She leaked the removable controllers (I believe?), and she preannounced the Switch trailer announcement.
Game was confirmed as an indie bssed on a novel a few pages ago with significant plot details.
Id be down with Attack of the Friday Monsters 2 for sure though!Yep, she's gotten a ton right about hardware. She's had multiple software leaks but AFAIK not yet confirmed, though seemingly likely to be.

Tom Phillips from Eurogamer has backed it up.
Let's not forget she got blacklisted by Nintendo for her hardware leaks and some guy from GAME threatened to sue her for leaking the prices of the Switch hardware in the UK.
Wasn't it her who said the IR sensor was located on the bottom of the right joycon? She also leaked the USB-C charging, too. She's been pretty boss on the hardware side.
I can't recall any mistakes about the reveal trailer. She said it will be short and feature both Zelda and Mario.
She effectively didn't leak Pokémon.

BWWAAAAAHHHH-RIO
I'm really proud of this so if someone could quote me that would be great
Any more details? Rabbids are awful, makes me instantly lose interest in the RPG, as much as I like the Mario & Luigi / Paper Mario games.

Yes. It's pretty much true because Ubisoft showed off Mario characters in Rabbids style.
The rumor said Yoshi is the main character along with other minor characters teaming up with a Rabbid because Rabbids took over Mushroom Kingdom.

What are the prices and what can we expect in the US?
250$ for the base model I think

Maybe we should add to the OP that DetectiveGaf has figured out what game this is.
You got it bud.

Wow I didn't know that. Ubisoft showing the Mario Rabbids in the video confirmed it for me.

Wasn't sure if the Rabbids thing with all detail had been backed. That is indeed solid.
I only based the question on posts in the GAF thread, as I did not bother to go through her Twitter.
Edit:
I don't think she predicted the actual titles shown in the Switch reveal, just this (regarding software in the trailer). She also retweeted Tom Phillips, who expected Mario. Or maybe she did, people here link way too rarely.

You are right, she did. She has a pretty good track record on the Switch hardware, though her software stuff will remain unproven until January 12th of course.
iirc, the GAME UK prices listed £250 for base model, £300 for deluxe model.
It's probably a 1:1 currency conversion to $ with how these things usually go.
Edit: Might have been £200/£250, can't remember and I can't find the thread.
Was 199 and 249 IIRC

That's where I'm at now. I don't understand why she got so uptight about the PS4 Slim either. It was fucking childish. "HEY I KNOW IT EXISTS, WHY DON'T SONY OWN UP, I KNOW THEY KNOW SO... OWN UP... OR ELSE." Why the fuck does it matter? I don't know why she's angling to be this White Knight of leaks. I'd rather be presented with quality reveals by the developer than shite like this.

But man, that pic of them in the office... It will be so easy to identify whoever took that shot.
Interesting, where can I see these images?
I can't find the thread, you're probably right.
To be fair, I (and I'm sure plenty of others) spotted both of those in the commercial/promo shots before she tweeted that stuff. That said, not that I doubt her, but those two factoids wouldn't be difficult to make up.
It was 199 and 249 pounds indeed.

Still better than Wii U
I think the dev wanted a bit of hype to get some attention for their game. I can't blame them, though. There's a lot of noise out there, so a little "leak" that draws attention to their game is good. They can come in and talk more about it once she's spilled the beans. In the meantime they get a bit of hype and awareness.
True, but those where just the ones I pulled off the top of my head. She recently confirmed the dock situation (boosts performance when docked). I think she did this one twice. I think people pretty much trust her at this point. I don't see much of a reason not to, either. With how changing the game business is, what's true today can be totally wrong tomorrow. Nothing wrong with that. If she starts getting a lot of stuff wrong, then I think people will re-evaluate how much stock they put into what she says. But Eurogamer seems to back up what she says, so that must mean something.
I love you all
Like this? Is this what you want?
BTW, this is meant as a joke, if that wasn't obvious.

Looks pretty bad, like a tech demo. Graphically it looks impressive for the Switch, better than I thought it would be able to handle but I will hold my true opinion until we see the full game.
