Yeah, there certainly were a lot of coincidences and interesting things, but they starting pulling it all together in some pretty wild ways that made it clear to me they wanted to hype it up to get more attention. They were talking about it just being speculation and rumor, which is fine and that is fun stuff to do. But after the Nintendogs image they announced that they were certain it was all fact. There are a lot more reasonable theories as to why the date was off by a couple days than a secret message. That just seems pretty farfetched to me.
