The 10 Biggest Rumors of Gaming

7. Nintendo Revolution Touchscreen/Gyroscopic Controllers



Yeah, leave it to some greasy fanboys from GameFaqs to come up with this one. But, then again, it's cool, so why argue? In this rumor, the Nintendo Revolution controllers would be so "REVOLUTIONARY", that they would contain a Touchscreen or Gyroscopes, to make the game more interactive.

VERDICT: Half bullshit, half possibility. The touchscreen is definately a possibility to coincide with the Nintendo DS, and I would not be suprised if it was available for the Revolution at some point, just like the Gamecube has a GBA adapter. However, the Gyroscope thing (Or, similarly, the "3D Screen" theory) is utter bullshit. There would be no effective way to utilize the Emulator capability of the Revolution with a Gyroscope unless you had some way to turn it off. Plus, it's be totally annoying. Who wants to have to sit perfectly still while playing a game?

6. Triforce in Majora's Mask (The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask)



Yeah, leave it to more Nintendorks to come up with this one. The Triforce in Majora's Mask rumor lived a good while, but died off once Nintendo proverbially told them to "Stop it you idiots". Of course, like any dumbass rumor, it started off with an impossible task and ended off with some stupid reward, which means a ton of people tried to do it. And, of course, they realized it was fake, got pissed, and ranted online.

VERDICT: Didn't I just say it was fake? Duh.

5. See Samus Aran Nude (Metriod)



Yeah, this began right with the original Metroid. Apparently, back in the land of the NES, we were stupid enough to actually believe that if you played Metriod perfectly, something magical would happen and you'd get to see pixellated breasts. Wow. Just wow.

Verdict: What the hell was I thinking?

4. See Princess Peach Naked (Super Mario Brothers)



Now we get into the same thing, except with Princess Peach. Yeah, people became convinced that by beating Super Mario Brothers, Peach would give Mario a BJ, or something similar. Apparently, pixellated boobs were as popular back then as they are now. At least nowadays they look REAL, instead of looking, you know, flat and ugly and jagged and PIXELLATED. Jesus christ. I mean, I know girls looked wierd in the 80s and early 90s (Just watch an episode of The Cosby Show to see what I mean), but man, come on.

VERDICT: Do you even need me to tell you?
