For for idiot, who thinks he's right and Matt's wrong:

Haha. Take it easy, guys. Ed the Janitor reported this stuff months ago -- I'm just throwing in my two cents.

A couple of criticisms thrown my way that I'd like to address:

#1. Someone claimed I was totally wrong on Left Field. How? We reported that Left Field wasn't an exclusive second-party anymore, that the company had been stripped fo 1080 by Nintendo, that it was making Backyard Football for other consoles. At E3 2002 we learned that Left Field was not in the works with any Nintendo-published games, that 1080 was being handled by NST and that Left Field was the developer of Backyard Football. How in the heck does that make us wrong? Please -- tell me. I'd like to know.

#2. I've been wrong more times than I've been right. Buh? How so? I can go all the way to IGN64 and cite news stories that we broke, from Dolphin, to the shape of the controller, to the specs of the machine and the DVD drive type, right up to Soul Calibur 2 being shown at Space World, or that Metroid was an FPA, or that one could see through the eyes of Samus in a special visor view.

So far I can think of only two IGNcube news reports that have yet to be proven true. The first was that Perfect Dark 0 would not ship until at least 2003 and might not come out until 2004 -- a report that looks to be true. And second, that SC2 would be running on Triforce arcade hardware. Nevermind that we broke the news OF the Triforce arcade hardware in the same story. We also broke the news that Namco would develop Star Fox on the Triforce hardware, but again everyone seems to forget when we break the news.

But I digress. You can choose to believe our information or not. That's cool -- that's up to you, and if you'd rather wait for the official announcement (which will come from Rare, not Nintendo, by the way), that's your decision.

But anybody who thinks they can use this as a chance to question IGNcube's credibility has another thing coming entirely.

Haha, sounds pretty confident. Still thinks it's balls?
