Mii-specific friend code rumour fake



The Wii´s online service will not use Mii-specific friend codes across various games. Justin Dowdeswell, producer of ´Mario Strikers Charged´, has been either mistranslated by news sites The Platformers and Joystiq or misquoted by French gaming site Gamers.fr.

I just spoke to Justin Dowdeswell on the phone and he clarified that his comments about Mii-specific codes related only to his game. He said that he never intended to comment on any other titles, nor would he know about how they implemented online features.

The Wii´s online service will be based on game-specific codes, as I exclusively revealed in mid-March.

damn.

also: what do you think about all the other wild'n'krazy rumors going around lately, falafelkid?

-"superfan" tactics.

Well darn. Oh well, it was nice to feel like a hyped-up-the-kerplunked Nintendo Fanboi again. All this Wii Success feels unnatural, so this disappointment ws warm and familiar.

This is fake. Has no real source. You really think he got a "phone number" to call this guy? LOLZ

RGB said...

Since he is in the video game media there is quite a good chance. Do your research first before commenting.

Hi Anonymous.

You really think he got a "phone number" to call this guy?

Haha. I love you people. You´re on the internet - the best information resource mankind has ever had - and you rule it unlikely to get a phone number for a developer.

Going to the company´s website and clicking on the contact tab isn´t exactly rocket science, you fool.

By the way: Thanks, Grandmaster.

Making up so many bullshit rumours and getting one of them right some of the time isn't rocket science either.

How is Star Wars Wii coming along? Is it going to show at this E3? Because I was at last years E3 and it sure as hell wasn't there.

And this producer took time to explain this to you why?

How about some hard proof like a quote or something that you can be held acountable with?

I can say that I spoke with Kutaragi yesterday, but that doesn't make it true.

If you want hard proof, go to Joystiq. They cite a very reliable source. And they double-checked it.

Making up so many bullshit rumours and getting one of them right some of the time isn't rocket science either.

Name one ´bullshit rumour´ that I posted here. You won´t find any. Instead, you will find a ton of exclusive news that I broke.

Just for starters, I revealed that Wii would be significantly less powerful than the competition. I revealed that ´Zelda: Twilight Princess´ would use Wiimote functionality, rather than being merely a Gamecube game playable on Wii.

I was also the first person to interview Pablo Belmonte, creator of the ´Nintendo On´ video. And I brought you the first developer comments regarding the Wii - by Peter Molyneux and Yuji Naka, no less.

I also ousted numerous fakers (like Seriousgamer007) and I recently revealed that the Wii´s friend codes will be game-specific.

My blog was linked to by many major internet news sources - from Newsweek to multiple mentions on Joystiq - and even got cited in print magazines.

That´s just a small selection of the exclusive news I have been able to post over the last two years. I can honestly say without any arrogance: That was not a bad inning so far. So much for your ´bullshit rumours´, pal.

Hi Anonymous. Thanks for the link. Unfortunately, the article contains no sources. I am trying to trace this up.

RGB said...

I dont know why you need to explain yourself, but anyway.

Anonymous, you could say that he banked on a thing that most likely would come true (Star Wars) but it also wasnt a certaintity. He mentioned this well before the Wii was released and by memory wasnt in the hugely positive press at the time where the PS3 was.

You could say he took a chance on it if he really knew nothing but I honestly dont think he would do that myself, even more so considering the circumstances at the time.

@ falafelkid. No sources but a few days ago a different site reported the same thing: http://www.destructoid.com/mgs4-is-coming-to-the-xbox-360--31775.phtml

It's just inevitable at this point isnt it?

I'm sorry guys. I made all of this up. Sorry about the confusion. But please, keep on going to my site. I need to make up more rumors to get people to stay on my site.

Thanks!

Anonymous said...

Also, all of you idiots who are saying this is fake. Go suck something. All of you guys are wrong. I happen to have all the phone numbers for all of these developers on my computer. I just go to their contact page. DUH!

Also, even though I made THIS story up. All my other ones are 100% true. Again, sorry for the confusion.

FALAFEL you don't sprout bullshit.
You bring news and rumors that I love to read.
If you were glaringly wrong maybe I wouldnt come here.
But you raise interesting points all the time and it's making someone jealous.
Somebody here is too pussy to post their real name when dissing your hard work.
And they have no valid points. It's sad.
They should go find a girlfriend or read a book.
How about pointing out how FALAFEL is a fake with some examples? Or some FAKE stuff that he's posted?
Seriously.

hi falafelkid!!

dies ist zwar kein kommentar zu deinem aktuellen titel, dennoch würde ich gerne was loswerden, da ich deine e-mail nicht habe.
ich lese deinen block schon sehr lange und finde ihn recht unterhaltsam, gut finde ich auch immer deine spekulationen über 3d. denn ich bin auch der meinung, das es was geben muss..... es gab zuviele hinweise auch seitens nintendo selbst in der vergangenheit. auf
http://www.wiiinsider.de/ steht, dass georgi lucas ein "licht-schwert-spiel"plant. ist das ein neuer hinweis zu 3d? schliesslich sagte er ja nicht, es kommt ein neues star-wars-spiel, daher finde ich deise aussage sehr merkwürdig... auch das ubisoftdays-video mit dem projektor.
es gibt noch viele dinge, über die ich mich sehr gerne noch mit dir unterhalten würde, von fan zu fan sozusagen..
meine e-mail: sebastianhh1976@yahoo.de
komme aus hamburg und würde mich sehr auf eine mail von dir freuen!
mache weiterso mit deinem blog!!
