This is awesome, everyone knows that IGN is under NDA and effectively proved that they were when they failed to showcase any of the Red Steel shots on the Revolution channel. everyone also knows that many NDA's will be going kaput the 20th which is the exact date EGM, Nintendo Power (both claiming to have revolution games) and the Gameinformer website to have videos of Red Steel in action. But matt decided to put his two cents in; this is why I dont go to IGN anymore (and found this on a european blog :D):
---------------------------------
April 20: Get Ready
Yes. Get ready. Prepare yourself. Buckle up. Because ladies and gents, this is the day that 50 NDAs expire.
And that is, by the way, a load of crap.
Where did this rumor come from? Seriously. Stop e-mailing me about it. I have not signed any NDA that expires on April 20 and unless Nintendo is planning to spoil its E3 presence three weeks early, I seriously doubt anybody else has, either.
I am in talks with publishers about posting some of their Revolution stuff prior to E3. I like to think I'm fairly in-the-know where these titles are concerned. And I can't recall any company that is planning to reveal its Revolution game on April 20.
Red Steel has been the exception to the rule.
Nintendo has a stranglehold on all Revolution games -- to the point, in fact, where titles are very likely to be exclusively shown at Nintendo's E3 booth. Meaning, third parties won't be featuring any Revolution game at their respective booths, if hearsay is to be believed.
By the way, I'm pretty sure I know what the other secret feature is. Just thought I'd throw that out there.
Please murder April 20.
April 23, meanwhile, daaaaaammn...
Yeah, that's a joke. Do not start an April 23 rumor.
--------------------
Let's read that in slow motion:
1.) There will not be any Revolution games revealed april 20th
2.) IGN will reveal Revolution games april 20th

The rumor started on these boards, from your very own VIP, Paladin69, in this thread. He seemed pretty matter-of-fact about it:

I don't care about the secrecy anymore so I'll just say it.
You'll see a lot more of these 3rd party exclusives April 20th. Not sure if it will be from IGN or elsewhere, but that is the -TON day to look out for. Red Steel videos and more game screens/info of other titles.
The NDA's end for most 3rd party titles.
So go ask him what he's talking about, because that's where all this hoopla started.

Okay, slow motion mode on:
1.) IGN starts a rumor on its own message boards claiming that april 20th there will be Revolution games revealed
2,) IGN says that IGN will reveal revolution games on april 20th
3.) Insider subscriptions UP
4.) quality and oveerall dignity of IGN DOWN
gufaw 2!
