Super Smash Bros. for 3DS & Wii U Thread XV: Kübler-Ross Edition

Until I see more, that could simply be a shop from Friday's picture.

Not even that, we've had a picture with Smash Run highlighted before.

There's a Japanese version of this as well, that's identical to what's in that screen.
 
If someone takes a picture of the game on their 3DS and they do not take a screenshot of the opening, I think we can declare it fake.
 
In this universe is Ridley a person sized dragon and Samus is a dragon sized woman. Or even in that universe does Ridley get kept out of smash?

In various parallel worlds there is always a constant, like even in mirror world bully country hick Serena loves crybaby Ash.

Ridley not getting playable in Smash is a constant among multiverses. Parallel world Metroid didn't sell big but has cult following, and Power Suit Ridley eventually becomes an Assist Trophy.
 
Happening? Could be someone displaying an image on their 3ds though.

Which is far more likely since they cut out the bottom screen, and we've seen that screenshot in the PotD.
 
Because star fox has been around for longer and has more than one entry.

All games with more than 1 rep have more than one entry in their franchise.

The only one to ever break this rule is pokemon in smash 64, which had 2 entries even though pokemon only had one entry at the time, but i'll give it a pass since it has 151 pokemon in the game. 2 out of 151.

We got Robin and Lucina from Fire Emblem awakening even though Lucina is "clone".

You could be sure that if I got a copy of the game four days early and were just reasonably sure that I'm one of the only ones who would post pics on 4chan I'd tease the fuck out of everyone with menu pics first.

Again, although they're both from one game, the series itself is more established. Xenoblade is still a little too new to have more than one unique character - though considering Xenoblade X and 3DS, the series will definitely be prominent enough for another newcomer in the next game.

I just mean entries in the franchise, not reps from a single game. Xenoblade is ONE game in its franchise, the 2nd one doesn't come out until after smash, and may not share any characters from xenoblade.

The fire emblem franchise has been around longer. Fire emblem has like 10+ games excluding remakes, so it's more than worthy of having 4 reps. Star fox has like 6 games.

If xenoblade were nintendo's final fantasy, and they had like 5-10 entries, it'd be more than worthy of having 2+ characters.

It's fake, taken from Sakurai's initial showing of the menu.

The star is glowing just as white.

Wellp, there we have it.

If you have it at home, and can take a screenshot... you can take a video. Anyone can upload to youtube.
 
This. And the carefully cropped out bottom screen means it's the Photo app.

If I had the game early and wanted to troll, i'd replicate tons of pictures of the day and post them, so that people dismiss me, but one of them would have a subtle difference from a picture of the day. As soon as someone figured that out, i'd start posting more stuff.
 
I would likely troll in this fashion as well.

But I'm not going to use that sort of logic to convince myself this is real. It's fake, this person is just using the photo mode with pictures already available.

If they show the bottom screen or something we haven't seen, I'm all over it.

It'd be really satisfying to do that, but the official release is only a few days away. If someone actually had a copy, I think they'd attempt to show as much as possible, considering their time in the spotlight would have a fast-approaching expiry date.
 
At this point the only way I'll believe a leak is if the leaker provides at least shaky cam footage of the opening. Everything else I'll call fake.
 
It could, but somehow I feel like it's gonna be tough.

If this were Germany and the game Mario Kart 8 the street date would have been broken by a ton of stores already. Dammit Japan, SOMEONE please break street date. It works so well for manga chapters, now do the same for Super. Smash Bros. !!!
 
5 days is a bit too soon for it. Typically, with Nintendo releases, it has been two days before, if it even happens.
What if someone works in a retail store, and takes one because his boss doesn't care? Store won't be penalized if they never mention the store.

Calm down Satan.

Someone would manage to prove that your real copy of the game is fake.
 
"Hey guys I got the game early"

Oh, well that's a picture of something we've already seen. Easily faked.

"Oh, well... here's the cover!"

Um...

I JUST WANT TO BELIEVE OK

A monkey could have printed that out, put it in a 3DS case and then covered them important bits with a piece of paper.

Anyone with an actual copy of the game would know that. First thing you do to prove its real is post a picture of something nobody has seen, a picture that doesn't exist out in the wild.

Pick 4 fighters, like shulk, alph, fierce deity link, viridi palutena, bunch them up in training mode, press start, take picture, with hand-written sign. Anything.
 
i disagree as players know full well of the 6 through all the forefront ef party art. 7 indicates a member beyond, and not Fiora. Also people are here to talk about Smash; not get spoiled on games represented in Smash.
The high secrecy around 7 just makes it suspect I guess.

I was talking to a friend about it at one point, and mentioned that there was another party member. He asked me who, and I told him I couldn't say. Based on that he was able to guess immediately (though I tried to pretend he was wrong, lol). I've seen plenty of people guess correctly here as well.

With the part about discussion, I was thinking more about checking the Xenoblade OT and stuff like that when the game was new. It happens here too, but a lot of it probably doesn't mean much to people that haven't played the games.

But Smash kinda spoils some things anyway.

I'm pretty safe from spoilers so far... I just need to finish Earthbound is all. I'm like 2 hours into it or something. I've given up hope of ever playing Mother 3, so I don't even care about the spoilers there.

I JUST WANT TO BELIEVE OK

Not convinced by how the the paper folds around the spine. Hmm....does the front art extend to the back of the case for every japanese DS game? Because I don't see a white back with just the name of the game printed on it here, instead the red seems to stretch all the way to the other side....
 
Maybe it already happened, but as soon as you start up the game, there's a message - that there will be DLC unless someone spoils the game to US/EU people on the internet. Then it will be cancelled.
I would spoil so hard. o.o

I wish we could prevent DLC. :(
 
Eh, if any of these pictures are real we'll start seeing tons of gameplay images and footage. Until then don't get worked up about it.
 
spoiler snip

Spoilerino for xenoblade, again:
To be fair, I had no idea it was coming. I just assumed it was alvis, or someone I hadn't met yet. I guess if someone told me they COULDN'T tell me, then I might have guessed, but all I knew was that there was a party member, and I thought his/her name was seven. I think just calling them 'seven' works fine, just don't say stuff like 'seventh character that i can't tell you who it is or it'll mega spoil the game'
