Rumor: Reggie Fils-Aime’s Top Secret Wii Documents?

Just this weekend, Nintendo fans have gotten quite stirred up by images that have been floating around the web which are SUPPOSEDLY scans of trashed documents from the desk of President and Chief Operating Officer for the North American division of Japan-based video game company Nintendo, Reggie Fils-Aime.

The document, which was supposedly fished directly from Reggie’s office trash bin after a meeting, talks about how Nintendo plans to continue its domination of the gaming market, mainly pointing out the success of the Nintendo DS as compared to other consoles and handhelds. By the third page however, it proceeds to talk about the game Disaster Day of Crisis which Nintendo legend Miyamoto is supposed to be “heavily involved in”. In the same paragraph, there is also a reference to their statement at the previous E3 event that they have one more big secret to reveal, and that this will be carried out via Disaster Day of Crisis.

However, page 4 has the most interesting bits, since in it can be found yet another paragraph which states, to quote:

“… yes, our last secret has to do with how you look at games, how you experience them. We’ve been holding back this announcement because we’re afraid our competitors might copy the idea. So to keep that risk low as possible, we’ve kept it secret – until now.”

The next part then proceeds to talk about another invention called the HMD or Helmet Mount Display which is supposed to allow the player to achieve the experience that he or she is inside the game itself, thus introducing a whole new level of game immersion.

However, despite this flurry of exciting information, one question remains to be answered: Is this real? Does being a janitor at Nintendo HQ really pay off? Has valuable corporate information just been irrevocably leaked? Is this just an addition to an already-growing number of rumors surrounding the Wii? Is this an elaborate (and well-written) hoax? Is this a strategy by Nintendo to throw everyone else off balance?

Calling all conspiracy theorists and analysts out there. Here’s a scan of the documents in question for your dissection and perusal. Let us know what you think.
