*Satire* The Anonymous Source: Nintendo Gets Halo DLC

*Satire*
In honor of those brave souls who go out on limbs to provide us the breaking scoop through their anonymous sources, investigative research or common sense be damned, I’ve started a weekly column we’re calling The Anonymous Source. This week we have an anonymous source claiming that Microsoft and Nintendo are teaming up to provide Halo crossovers.

Microsoft is tired of getting trounced by Sony and have resolved for one final competitive Hail Mary in the form of Halo 5. Barring Tomonobu Itagaki being a creepy Japanese version of Nostradamus and time reveals that the events of Devil’s Third are actually a premonition that will come top pass before Black Friday, everybody knows Halo 5 will be a massive success. Unfortunately, even Microsoft is painfully aware of the fact that Halo has long-lost its crown to the Call of Duty franchise and will have to compete head to head with Activision‘s yearly installment.

Full of complete BS.

Dont bother reading

* The problem with a lot of "satire" is that it really isn't at all, and it's just somebody's opinion disguised as "satire", so they can get away with saying whatever they want...get it "out there" in peoples minds, without being called out for it, because it's ......."satire"

I see through some of this BS.

But also not great satire.

What you're claiming about satire is exactly what this article is claiming about anonymous sources.

[trenso1]

Maybe you should put satire in the article head line. I know youre trying to poke fun at all the leaks recently but a lot of people are dense and wont get that its satire

[Moldiver]

This has to be a late april fools. Just seems a little too far fetched. Hilarious though.

[TXIDarkAvenger]

Oh this wasn't a satire article?

This anonymous source predicted the obvious with Zelda for the Wii U. Twilight Princess got delayed many times and so did Ocarina of Time. Zelda 64 was scraped and they started from scratch at least once. The Zelda series is no stranger to getting delayed.

What a effing Joke! Its like you always need a good article to get the blood boiling..

A sony fanboy attempt at satire lol the satire is crap and boring just like the ps4 is.

[Allsystemgamer]

Someone's mad about his under powered console vcr. This has nothing to do with Sony. Xbone fanboys are the most dilusional and desperate fanboys.

Secret sauce this, cloud that, ps4 has no games (despite having double than the xbone), graphics aren't everything (then claim cloud will do wonders for graphics), xbone dual gpu!, indies suck (then claims ori is best game ever), etc

Seriously. Grow up. I have all 3 next geh consoles. Was playing smash yeaterday and MCC. Then got on Bloodborne. Stop you're insignificant whining. Do you really have nothing better to do than attempt to make fun of a peice of plastic that's been proven to be more powerful than your preferred one?

Despair and be released remaster last year,talk to Drake's chest, powerful console with ridiculous drop frames and 1080p gelding, to compete with the big games that will come out this post-E3 for Xbox

[ShinMaster]

You think only "Sony fanboys" could have thought of this? lol

[wonderfulmonkeyman]

Pfffff, AHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!!!!
Wh-who in their right mind is actually gonna believe this?!XD
Zelda's delay notwithstanding, why in the hell would Microsoft want to loan out one of their biggest moneymakers to a console behind them in both sales and popularity?XD

Okay, I'll admit: if ANY of this actually occurred, it would throw the entire gaming community into an unprecedented FRENZY, which MIGHT generate some sales interest for both parties based solely off of how ludicrous it is, but seriously, what are the chances of them doing this with NINTENDO?
Wouldn't SONY be the more likely candidate, given how far ahead they are in install base?

Because I'm a firm believer in this world being 150% insane, I won't dismiss this entirely out of hand.
But I will say that even if my insane side leaves the possibility open, my logical side is laughing its ASS off at the absurdly low chances...

[ZaWarudo]

Gotta be honest here, Master Chief would be a great addition to Smash bros.

[dubal-e]

Yea he would. It would be a good Microsoft strategy actually. It would advertise Halo to Nintendo fans. Not saying it's true but it would be cool.

[Rookie_Monster]

The person submitting this seems like a Nintendo fan as almost all of his submissions are pro Nintendo news. I guess he is desperate as the only way Nintendo news get approval on N4G is drag in a negative story of MS and Xbox in it. LoL

[PigPen]

What if it's true?

[PlebeGamer]

Updated for those that would confuse the Onion for an actual newspaper.

The article is satire of recent events, not a stab at Sony, Microsoft, or Nintendo. Mainly how anonymous sources have become common as dirt, and the lowered standards of "journalists" and how their proof of past reliability is something anyone with half a brain could have predicted.
