What makes you think they are going to make a mega jolt with mega ranges based on the info we have now??? You don't know if its going to be mega xd...

??? that is true, but that doesn't explain why hasbro named it  NS Mega instead of NSE Mega... on the leak packaging it looks like its in final developement... I think it is that NSE and NS marking on the mega boxes are just range claims... since the mega jolt supposedly shoots lower than elite ranges, then it has the n-strike claim...

what post? :) from here on out all elite and mega are xd, see box art for proof. mega ranges currently range from 85 to 100 ft, but heading towards mega xd which is "up to 100 ft".

NO WHERE is the range for the mega "jolt" mentioned anywhere, its not shown in the leaks - range claims are never on the box back. at most showing upcoming blasters but not likely, always has feature notes.

Hasbro isn't being consistent (ie on their own website they have "n-strike elite mega" and "n-strike elite" but no "mega" in front of blaster names) but like I said in my first post and on reddit in reply to mikejonas, when mega was first announced; I asked if it was NS or NSE mega on NerfNation. they responded with NSE otherwise known as elite. The packages always have "N-Strike MEGA on the front with the NSE logo, go see for yourself. These leaks are way too early, names may even change and are inconsistent currently. Basically, it can be left as N Strike Elite MEGA until Hasbro officially announces a change.

these are clearly Fall 2015, they can change the packaging and or actual features; happened this year too.


 * Demolisher 2-in-1 for example was changed 3 times in last 6 months, from toy fair. All we can do is speculate.

thanks for informing jet and GG of the leaks, didn't realize it so sent an email.
