This does have me frothing over what the Rev interface will be though.

For one thing, Mario, the date's clearly 8-19. Unless you're from the past or something. o_o
And another...well, GC Advanced's 2.0 teaser page has arrows that look extremely similar to the ones over the controller...

The boomerang shaped one, with the glowing buttons and such. This looks like an extention of that fake controller.

Also the guy in the shadows looks an awful lot like George Harrison from Nintendo. The focus is also right (when you change the lighting in photoshop, he is fairly clear while the screen in the back is somewhat blurry).
It'd be very possible for someone to non-discretely snap this on a cellphone, pass it around to a few buddies and have it leak out (or be leaked out on purpose by Nintendo).
And "GumShu: Bloody Afternoon" sounds like a game Shiggy would make if he got instructions to make a "more adult franchise".

Plus that shape looks so damn unergonomic. It's got that bulky design that board executives who have never used a controller in their life come up with. Since the SNES Nintendo has had very ergonomic controllers and I imagine they would stick with that. Unless it's a Revolution in discomfort.
But then since the controller is being obscured by that arrow maybe it's just a placeholder so that Sony and MS don't steal their precious idea.
That game though sounds pretty damn creative for some one to just make up for a hoax. Usually with these fake rumours the games are sequels to existing franchises or generic clones of competing games (ie: a Halo or GTA clone). I can't think of a typical fanboy who would make up a mature detective game. Though I'm not sure if the spelling is Engrish or the typical "I'm going to make a fake Rev screen but I'm a dolt who can't spell" routine.

As Nile pointed out, this is a existing franchise, akin to the revamp of Kid Icarus fakes. It's just this one isn't well known.

Because sometimes even rumors have merit. I'll bet a six pack of__________ on this that if it's not entirely true it contains at least some substance. Any takers?

I believe any similarities to reality would be completely coincidental. As long as the six pack was something good, I'd take that bet if it meant nobody would ever again post or discuss completely unsubstantiated pictures from nobodies with a blog if/when it's clearly shown to be BS.
But we won't be so lucky.This stuff reminds me of the attitudes in the earlier days of the web, back in 95-97... When if it was on the internet, it HAD to be true. Suddenly anybody can get unmerited attention because they have a free blog and a copy of photoshop.

This can't be at the GC, only Americans use the MM/DD/YYYY date format. NoE would have used the European format DD.MM.YYYY.

Not to far. Tower is at Broad & Chestnut Jean's is about 3 blocks from there.

Also, theres some things about that picture that it doesn't seem logical a faker would think of...such as the baloon in the teaser screen, a big part of the original Gumshoe...

Please tell me how you know this. Seeing as how this title never came out of Japan and is quite obscure, I find it hard to believe that you actually played the game, or knew someone who played the game. I believe you found out about the balloon from (surprise!) the internet- the same exact internet that the potential fakers have unlimited access to! I am GumShu
Personally, I don't know what to think about this one. If it's a fake it's extremely well done, seeing as it's the only "leak" that I've ever thought had a serious possibility of being legit.
Edit: Just so you know, those other options under the picture are what seems to be "High Score," "Discuss," and "Review." That sounds pretty damn good to me. Also, I don't think that thing on the right says "Game Even" or "Game Over." Either way, it could be an e-mag or it could have something to do with the download service...

The text is slanted because of the angle the picture is taken at.
Duh, but that's not what I meant.
It's hard to spot but the text goes slightly up and down. Bah, it's ridiculous the thread has gotten so many replies. (+1)

And if Nintendo is really changing in that direction it just sucks. However if its indeed a new detective game the title might fit, it somehow reminds me of detective Conan. Anyway what was announced was a new IP from Miyamoto, and this of course isnt new.

The Famicom Tantei series... ;_;
(A fun note is that both Miyamoto and Aonuma love (or at least like the ideas in) detective games...GIVE US ONE, DAMMIT! Of course, I mean a Revolution game, not DS, where we already have Another)

I could be wrong, but that image looks 2d. Like it was made with painter or something.
Though it is very cool looking.

The Rev controller can be used as a mouse now meaning a cursor to select options. The circled arrows I believe represent a cursor for which the software section has been selected. As if you move the controller to Wi-Fi or the e-mag it will become highlighted and once you press the A button you select this option and the circled arrows appear on that logo.
Does this make sense even though the image is possibly and more likely fake?
