There will be no character reveal tonight. It will focus on a mode on the 3DS. So it is written blah blah...
:lol that's so damn ridiculous, but I think it'd be infinitely better if instead of WWE wrestlers we had Reggie as Donkey Kong vs Bill Trinen & The Treehouse as everyone else. I'd pay full price tickets to see that live.Rösti;126498545 said:Out of curiosity, I visited an archive of Nintendo of America's webpage shortly after the release of Super Smash Bros. in North America: https://web.archive.org/web/19990427192531/http://www.nintendo.com/home/index.html
There's a link there to the Super Smash Bros. Slamfest '99 which was held on April 24 that year: https://web.archive.org/web/1999090...t.com/nintendo/19990424/product_announcement/
It was a live broadcast wrestling match between the characters in the original commercial - Pikachu, Yoshi, Mario and Donkey Kong. Held at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas to promote the the release of the game on April 26. Now, I haven't been able to find much information about this at all, the only thing I could find was a writeup and some photos from a Tripod site called Zelda 64 Central, apart from the information available on the site hosted by MediaOnDemand.com:
The archived page of the event can be crawled from earliest September 8, 1999, but there's no media there.
A link to a rebroadcast of the event is there, but it doesn't work:: http://media.internetbroadcast.com/nintendo/19990424/product_announcement/meta/rebroadcast.ram
Mario, Yoshi and Pikachu have working descriptions, the page for Donkey Kong does not work.

Yoshi

I wonder if they could perhaps make a similar event for the Wii U release. Perhaps they could team up with WWE and have some famous wrestlers get into those suits and duke it out.
Could be something like this maybe (of course would have required a lot of planning):

"It is written, only Sakurai can defeat the leak."
"Great! I'll grab my newcomer trailer!"
"There is no time. Your Pic of the Day is enough!"
Note that I'm perfectly fine with the leak for the most part.

I really don't care that much, I'm just clarifying my position.

I said wow
I'm a little embarrassed to say that I've never seen an episode of Sailor Moon, but I'm flattered nonetheless! I'll take "suave and debonair superhero" and run with it.
I feel exactly the same way. SmashGAF is far and away my favorite gaming community. You guys are the best!
(Also, get well soon, Pikma!)

Has a vet ever been shown while the previous vet's challenger approaching banner is still there?

The leak is about as real as the Wii U's chances at 3rd party software releases.

I don't know, this actually has points in its favor.
I don't remember but the distance between Toon Link and Sonic was like 5 days. It's possible.

I always thought that that image looked more like Mega Man was shocked by Palutena's butt.

Then bring on the Wario!
He's our best hope to prove or disprove the leak, since he's probably one of the last starters to be revealed.

The game has a consistent menu style? What's the news?Edit: Now irrelevant, as Nexon seems to realize he's made a mistake.

Can we pray to it as long as we don't post the pic?
I don't get it, what's this image supposed to mean?Edit: Now irrelevant, as Nexon seems to realize he's made a mistake.
In other news:
The two menus have the same identical shape. Doesn't mean much imho.
It is weird that Samus is the one in the characters one though, maybe it changes randomly?

To be fair the Pikmin look exactly like they do in Olimar's render.Edit: Now irrelevant, as Nexon seems to realize he's made a mistake.

...Did you bet that the leak was real?
Anyway, I don't consider it to be a huge point, but it is pretty weird.

I really hope the leak is true. Duck Hunt Dog is such a great addition and Bowser Jr. in the Koopa Kar could lend to a very interesting playstyle. Since Chorus Kids have become my most wanted newcomer since the idea popped up in the Gematsu leak, I really do hope the DLC part is true also. So I'm gonna go ahead and commit to #TeamReal.

It's kind of weird that the background is identical (since the backgrounds and icons animate in Melee and Brawl) and remarkably convenient that they're laid out the same (since the banners seem to be inconsistent elsewhere in the menus), but we've seen so little of the menus in video that it's impossible to say that it's unlikely or wrong.
A curious thing to bring up but it's not proof or anything.

Where did the left picture even come from? Was it made as well?
If not, this leaker, if a faker, has crazy attention to detail. The they nailed that the top option won't have text shadows, while the bottom one does, along with the white boxes, and the bottom right symbol changing with the menu, is pretty nuts.
Raiden would be so much more hype than Snake.
If only MGR was on Wii U to make it possible
Surprise announcement of MGR2 exclusive to Wii U to coincide with it?

Left picture came from the Smash 3DS at E3.

Well they're both boring, overused, and always win, sounds perfect.
lol
Hmmmm... to me this makes it seem more legit. They've really got all the details down, and that's the first time I've seen that pic on the left. That type of specific text shading hasn't been detailed anywhere else as far as I know. This along with the graphical glitch thing...like damn.
Yeh the ones from the leak are stock images, but Smash uses stock images all the time.

Welp.

As far as the Mii Fighters icon, they wouldn't be expected to change it. I could kind of see the argument of "why would they use a stock photo for the other icon?", but that's not really strong evidence.
By the way, someone mentioned that the Pikmin in the For Fun Team Smash weren't original renders - is this true?
