Can’t believe diamondbolt was shot 12 times and then threw himself into the ocean after this video. He really sacrificed himself to bring us these gaming leaks 😔
Really? I heard that Nintendo gave him Ligma to silence him, which I should know because Shigure Miamoto himself told me to give him Ligma to keep him quiet.
@@jpfg2713 A very nasty disease that spreads via communication. Someone asks, "What's 'Ligma'?" and someone responds by saying, "Ligma balls". Upon observing the response of "Ligma balls", the person who asked about Ligma becomes infected with Ligma. This also has varients, such as "Sugma" and "Candace". For more research, I recommend looking up Lessons in Meme Culture, as there should be a video covering Ligma. If not, I can see if I can find a video that can explain Ligma better than I can.
I'm always fascinated by fake leakers who go after very small games. In the Heroes of the Storm community, there was this guy who made fake hero reveals, like, several times a year. And they were ALWAYS convincing. He posted artworks, patch notes, chat logs with developers, just so many different tactics always under shell accounts. For his last ever fake, he teamed up with a HotS model viewer website and made a fake 3D Hogger model, and uploaded it to that site. That is some fucking dedication to trick like 20 people.
The funniest part was that the guy's name was NotBelial. In Diablo (one of the games that has characters in Heroes of the Storm), Belial is the Lord of Lies. Also NotBelial always had two major "tells" that became memes within the community: the obscure WoW raid boss Terokk as a playable character and Raptors as a cosmetic mount. Also, perhaps by sheer coincidence, the last Hero added to HotS was Hogger.
@@mettikus The whole Terokk/raptor thing only made it more convincing. "Terokk riding a raptor is the next hero" was a meme for ages (long story), and the HotS team loved ascending community in-jokes.
Watching the Grinch leak happen in real time in all the hype leading up to Ultimate's release was genuinely insane looking back. What a time to be alive that was.
7 years ago, I saw leaks of apparent spider Gwen and doctor strange figures for Disney infinity and I thought they were fan art, then I found out they were real years later and cried myself to sleep for a week
I miss the days when leaks used to be so obviously fake that it was fun. Nowadays in an age when we can't tell a parody article from the Onion is real or not, leaks stopped being fun and became obnoxious because they made to be real just for the sake of damn clickbait.
I remember hearing that the white Pikmin gummies give you salmonella, when nobody realized that the Onion article made a joke based on the fact that the white Pikmin is indeed poisonous.
The only game series with leaks that actually sometimes makes me bummed out are the Smash Character leaks because it sucks when it's a somewhat convincing leak with a character you want but it ends up being false.

@@PeterGriffin11 yea there was an episode where ash and Goh read online about a new evolution of klink being spotted in unova and when he got there it turns out it was just promotion for a dudes ice cream kiosk lmao 😂
The one I fell for was how to get Cave Story's secret ending. It's a bit of a tragic game with a lot of characters that die. The secret ending allowed you to save everyone and they showed how to get it with actual game footage which had actually been modded from the original game. When I realized it was fake my whole day was ruined ;-;
I thought I was the only one who was upset that they didn't at least put Shadow the Hedgehog in the game as an echo fighter. It would've been so AWESOME.
There was this one guy in the Lego space who 3D rendered multiple seemingly real pieces for upcoming Star Wars sets, like Force Ghosts and a windscreen piece, and they were so convincing that the only way the community found out was because the guy himself admitted that they were fake

You’re bringing back such good memories with the yellow and purple chairs behind Sakurai. Loved seeing people going bonkers over Wario and Waluigi “confirmations” for Smash.
I love how people used the scenery behind Sakurai to try to guess new fighters, meanwhile Sakurai “hinted” at Byleth by holding his fingers in a freaking binary notation to allude to Byleth’s numerical entry in the FE series. Because who’d ever guess THAT? He was always leagues ahead of our brains.
Man its so sad that one of Rockstar's bodyguards shot and stabbed Adam. We must appreciate Adam's efforts on getting us these informations on the Rockstar leak in Nintendo
That thumbnail can't help but make me think of some Grinch video game with Jim Carrey's Grinch instead of the 2018 animated one (or the one that was actually made). I can just imagine that demon face in 8-bit haunting my nightmares.
I feel terrible for not popping on by the channel enough, but my life's been all over the place, Bolt. Anyways, I wanna use this opportunity to wish you well. You're the best example of what South Aussies have to offer on this platform! :D
One big fake leak that I really like was one for halo 4 before it was even revealed to exist. The image was just master chief photoshopped in front of a worm monster from a half life 2 mod. But at the time it became massive and people still believed it after it was revealed to be fake.
Pouring one out for all the people duped by the Grinch leak (me included) Also, fake leaks for Multiversus are starting to take off as more people start believing anyone can get in (the horrendously fake "Gandalf early test" video comes to mind)
The Grinch leak was especially wack because nobody seems to know who made it. Usually someone takes credit but this person dropped this leak out there and disappeared.
@@mmazurr I remember a copypasta floating around that explained all of the details that made it unlikely it was fake (eg the blank Battlefield template, the identity of the former employee, etc.)
@@emblemblade9245 Looking back on it, I really appreciate the dedication he and his friends put into it. It adds to the insanity that is Smash character speculation- in the best way possible.
I never thought it was real. As realistic as everyone thought it was at the time the one thing that told me it was false was that it was the Grinch. I knew for a FACT Nintendo wasn't going to put a random non game character into the game, so when the final reveal trailer showed Incineroar instead, I sat there with a smug grin on my face as dozens of people reacted in disbelief. To me it was super obvious, so seeing all the believers get annihilated like that was incredibly satisfying.
Hey Adam, thought I might say this. I was the one on twitter who recommended the rayman leak, and I just wanna say thanks for it actually making into the video. I've been a fan of your content for 2 years now, and you are amazing. You're such a talented and funny creator, and never stop making these brilliant videos. You're really are one of my favourite youtubers, and I'm so happy that I cause something to happen. Plus, I kinda have a soft spot for rayman, so this was dope. Overall, thank you. Also you're right, why didn't Sakurai add Shadow to smash? That would have made the game a 12 out of 10!
I was gonna say something like "before the impersonating channel bots telling you to claim your totally real reward arrive I want to say..." but your comment is 4 days old and no one has replied yet. Feels great to interact with real humans, doesn't it? Getting feedback, knowing you contributed somehow, it matters. That's why even the loneliest people, those used to being alone for longer periods, they can also get driven mad by isolation. Like Joaquin Phoenix Joker says, unless you make an impact, you don't really feel like you exist. Being ignored/neglected is truly one of the worst things, and saying something back can be life-affirming.
@@nelisezpasce Well, um thanks. Even though I didn't came here for some deep message lol; but I'm glad I get to interact with someone, because it does feel nice. Even though I'll (likely) never post content, I'm still a very small channel; so I couldn't thank you enough for not making me invisible
@@Davedave590 well, i see so many people commenting this to a point where it feels like its just a machine typing it out and commenting it to fill the comment section
one of my favorite fake leaks is a fairly new one for pokemon scarlet and violet, and theres a bunch of names that are puns. and theres an evolution line and if you put all the names together, theyre literally called anyone can make a fake leak
I remember a SV fake leak showing off a paldean oddish that looked like a pinapple and one of a black tauros which admittedly looks cooler than the one we got
I loved that the Grinch leak was shut down. Incineroar was the fighter I wanted to be added and when he showed up in the screen, I laughed and teared that Incineroar crashed the Grinch leak. XD
I remember making the old "Vampire Emblem" leaks back in the day. I had a lot of fun with them & I'm glad to have impacted the FE Fanbase if even a little.
Schaffrilas mentioned the Grinch thing in his Illumiation video, and despite being a Smash fan, I somehow missed it entirely. I was curious, but for some reason didn't look into it much. This video was a welcome surprise.
My grandson works at Nintendo and he told me that Mario is gonna go on a killing spree and get ran over by a car in the next mainline game. My source is very legit, trust me, family doesn't lie.
You actually can play as Master Hand in Melee! It is a glitch and I can't remember how to pull it off, but it has to do with tricking the character select. Each character has a number and if you trick the game into reading the number of your selected character to be 0, it defaults to Master Hand, as he is stored in the game as character 0. So it has been proven to be true which is funny.
One hoax I saw when I was younger, back in 2009 or so, I saw a picture of Spyro the dragon for the Xbox 360. It was just the box art for Spyro 2, but stretches to fill the 360s box art but I was SO convinced that it was real that I begged my parents to get me the console. All because I glanced at fake box art for maybe a minute
I remember wanting the Grinch leak to be real, but I remained skeptical. Sakurai had said that there weren't going to be that many newcomers and we'd already gotten far more than we ever expected. It still sucked when it was proven to be fake even if I was expecting it to be. Oh well, at least Banjo Kazooie eventually got in. Funny how so often the character choices in these leak hoaxes would've more than likely been better inclusions than some of what we actually got. (in some cases there's no question) And I definitely remember those platypus, rabbit and lemur starters. They were all over the place! They were even given full evolution designs at some point. The rabbit's evos were way too much like the fennekin line, right down to the hip fur. The others were okay. I recall a lot of people finding it "freaky" that Game Freak did in fact introduce a fire rabbit starter not long afterward. And it still managed to be a waifumon in it's own right. Many people still mourn the fact that the plucky little platypus water starter was a fake even to this day. He was always the clear favorite.
The biggest of what I thought was a hoax was Wolf in brawl My friend invited me over, turned on the wii and started smash bros: brawl. He tried convincing me that wolf was real and is in brawl. I didn't believe him until he inputted the combo right in front of me and wolf appeared. The cartoon gasp that escaped my mouth
For Pokémon stars. Wouldn’t make sense to put a third version on a different console. Pokémon black&white2 (sequels/third version of black&white for DS) released after the 3DS was out. Ultra sun and ultra moon ended up pretty much being what the rumour claimed star was going to be (except not on the switch) I think that last point DB should’ve mentioned it.
Creating a fake screenshot isn't enough - to make it really convincing you need to take a photo of the screen with your phone, but move around while taking it to make it look somehow legitimate!
"Pokemon Star" was the code name for ultra sun and moon during its development to avoid the actual names leaking. In the same way that "Pokemon Rainbow" was a code name for sun and moon. People were just confused
i remember a rumor going around when Pokemon Silver and Gold were coming out in the states that someone had a Pokemon card of Lugia and it had Lapras on the top saying it evolves into Lugia. I swear i saw it as a leak or rumor but no one has it saved or talks about it.
Take this from me. When looking into a video game leak, especially when it’s a specific game like smash or Fortnite, just look into the most reliable source from what most fans would say, like a verified Fortnite leaker. Careful over other leaks, especially blurred photos, never believe those. The best way to learn that leak is real or not is if it comes from a reliable source who’s got things right in the past or the credible news article, and at the same time just avoid blurred photos as a whole unless they’re HD videos.
I know at the time I wondered if the Grinch leak was supposed to be some kind of guerilla marketing for The Grinch movie, although I doubt there's much evidence for that.
my main thing with seeing leaks is more of the hype of seeing the real thing. grant it: it's different for other medias like how i try to wait to see what games will surprise us with but with manga: I'd like to see what comes up cause the hype of waiting a week or 2 is so tantalizing that i have to read what someone has seen/read. If i really try: i can avoid spoilers. it's just easier to see them yourself and avoid getting spoiled when trying to avoid them all together.
the grinch one wasn't fake, toby fox had to remove him from the super smash brother because SEGA didn't have enough time to code in his full, god-like glory before the game came out the guy had an image of the grinch because he was making them of all the characters for an unused merch line
Diamondbolt can you please do a video on this but with fake trailers. Like it was hilarious back then where there would be “Leaked” footage of Spider-Man 4 and it was just deleted and reused scenes and photo shop
Pokemon Fusion had a bit more to it than just being a rumor. It wasn't Pokemon fusing with Pokemon, but Pokemon fusing with people. There was a special event Greninja that had some of Ash's features and a manga with a similar concept released around the same time. (Not entirely sure on the manga thing, please correct me if I'm mistaken)

Pokémon black&white2 (sequels/third version of black&white for DS) released after the 3DS was out.
Ultra sun and ultra moon ended up pretty much being what the rumour claimed star was going to be (except not on the switch)
I think that last point DB should’ve mentioned it.
At 8:34 it seems like they’re actually talking about the Nintendo Fusion (a mythical console after the Wii U) rumor and one guy just got confused.
Little did Adam know.. Brian griffin came to Fortnite as a loot lama backbling
Creating a fake screenshot isn't enough - to make it really convincing you need to take a photo of the screen with your phone, but move around while taking it to make it look somehow legitimate!
"Pokemon Star" was the code name for ultra sun and moon during its development to avoid the actual names leaking. In the same way that "Pokemon Rainbow" was a code name for sun and moon. People were just confused
i remember a rumor going around when Pokemon Silver and Gold were coming out in the states that someone had a Pokemon card of Lugia and it had Lapras on the top saying it evolves into Lugia. I swear i saw it as a leak or rumor but no one has it saved or talks about it.
Well my Dad works at Nintendo and he's working on a console called the "Nintendo AB". It's a console designed specifically to play Angry Birds
man i remember the sword and shield "leaks" so vividly
Remember how much PokeTubers milked the Armor Pokemon only to find out they weren't real.
I used to watch those videos a lot lol
Old tradition vs new exploration sounds remarkably similar to Scarlet and Violet's theme.
Take this from me. When looking into a video game leak, especially when it’s a specific game like smash or Fortnite, just look into the most reliable source from what most fans would say, like a verified Fortnite leaker. Careful over other leaks, especially blurred photos, never believe those. The best way to learn that leak is real or not is if it comes from a reliable source who’s got things right in the past or the credible news article, and at the same time just avoid blurred photos as a whole unless they’re HD videos.
How on earth did diamondbolt leak the addition of Brian Griffin to fortnite without us knowing
The platypus from the fake pokemon leak actually came to be an official Temtem and I love it
That Brian(fortnite)joke truly aged like fine wine.
it still feels weird with bolts new set up.
on the 0.00000000000000000001% chance you see this bolt i love your videos there allways a treat to watch
8:48 It’s pretty cool that the platypus Pokémon design made it into TemTem.
That’s crazy so the fake smash leaked became FREAKING REAL MOSTLY 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I know at the time I wondered if the Grinch leak was supposed to be some kind of guerilla marketing for The Grinch movie, although I doubt there's much evidence for that.
my main thing with seeing leaks is more of the hype of seeing the real thing. grant it: it's different for other medias like how i try to wait to see what games will surprise us with but with manga: I'd like to see what comes up cause the hype of waiting a week or 2 is so tantalizing that i have to read what someone has seen/read. If i really try: i can avoid spoilers. it's just easier to see them yourself and avoid getting spoiled when trying to avoid them all together.
It's been...soo long since I've watched this channel! I remember that Mobile Game Nostalgia vid.
0:09
I guess this information was Too Good for us that it needed to be censored.
the grinch one wasn't fake, toby fox had to remove him from the super smash brother because SEGA didn't have enough time to code in his full, god-like glory before the game came out
the guy had an image of the grinch because he was making them of all the characters for an unused merch line
Mr. Diamondbolt is a Matrix Agent!? I knew it!!!!
Bro was right about the family guy reference
He fucking predicted Brain in fortnite. God dammit
The universe of diamondbolt talking about worlds of things
Damn that Tower of Smash idea sounded really cool. Wish that leak actually was real.
Diamondbolt can you please do a video on this but with fake trailers. Like it was hilarious back then where there would be “Leaked” footage of Spider-Man 4 and it was just deleted and reused scenes and photo shop
Bolt. You've never looked more handsome before, my friend. XD✌️✌️
I agree on not having shadow in smash, its just a matter of making a skin!
Pokemon Fusion had a bit more to it than just being a rumor. It wasn't Pokemon fusing with Pokemon, but Pokemon fusing with people. There was a special event Greninja that had some of Ash's features and a manga with a similar concept released around the same time. (Not entirely sure on the manga thing, please correct me if I'm mistaken)
The manga is Pokémon ReBurst, isn’t it. Horrible manga, got cancelled pretty quickly.
Watching this before it gets taken down for the brief clip of GTA6 lmao
HE WAS RIGHT ABOUT BRIAN
Why did you remind me of the grinch leak? I thought I had moved on, but now I’m sobbing!😭
