It was someone within Nintendo. Not saying more than that. Nor am i saying under what circumstances i met them under.
But i jokingly asked when Nintendo was going to say something about the NX, and they told me they obviously cannot say much, if anything, but to "look forward to January"
I am not a journalist, or someone really "in the know in the industry" either. This was a chance encounter, and if it does turn out to be true and they weren't messing with me, prob the first, and most likely last piece of insider info i ever get.
