Well, he shouldn't get the dev kit, because he could possibly leak it to the homebrew developers as revenge for not taking his game.... But he COULD get a job somewhere within Nintendo. He got a whole lot of people psyched about the game with his advertising, and he DID create a game all by himself and with such a scale.
But yeah, he's a jackass attention whore. I bet he sneaks on random forums and gives us news, saying it's a 'leak' from such and such website.
Not even a year ago, I emailed him asking if he's REALLY going to possibly release it as homebrew or if that was a lie, and if he had a specific date he would release it on, and he replied with "It'll be done when it's done". Either he was simply being a jackasshole, or the game isn't even finished yet.
I go for both.
I still support the homebrew release of this game, but by now I don't expect it to ever be released to the public until Bob suddenly dies or something.
