If this was real, it'd worth getting excited about. The Wii... only $175? An October 2nd launch date? 21 launch titles? A helmet-mounted display for the Wii? A gyroscopic add-on for the DS? New Metal Gear and Metroid games coming to the DS?

Too bad it's phony. As if all that didn't immediately ring your "too good to be true" bells, there's more: the letterhead is fake looking, and references the public relations department, not Reggie's office. The "crumples of authenticity" do not warp in any way the alignment of the print. And then there's the question of what someone was doing rooting around in Reggie's trash to begin with, or why Reggie threw away a complete draft of his speech without making any corrections whatsoever.

So fake. But, like Nintendo On, good for a laugh at the depths of fan boy wishful thinking. Florian Eckhardt
