Employees of 8-4 said on a bombcast that Treasure is pretty much one dude who works on licensing deals for their older games.

If I were a betting man, I would wager that they'd save a Smash Switch announcement for the big E3 audience
But also who knows with how Nintendo Directs are sometimes

boring enough to be real.
warioware being crippled by amiibo would be a tragedy, which makes me more likely to believe this. It's that sweet-spot of "almost what I wanted but not quite" that a ton of nintendo products have hit over the years
it was the internet's go-to made-up name for the pikmin sidescroller on 3ds that they revealed last year. but yeah I don't think that it's likely to be the real title. I guess between gba only on n3ds, smash n3ds, and warioware amiibo, people are getting real good at engineering just the right flavor of disappointment to make a believable leak.
I read too fast and thought it said "GBA on Switch" and now I'm sad.

This would be hilarious, especially if Ice Climbers got added back in
Smash Bros. for New Nintendo 3DS is both too stupid to be true and also too stupid to be fake.
Like, it's the kind of thing where someone would say "nobody would believe this is real if I put this there" if they were making a fake.
But it's also something I could totally see Sakurai doing if the switch version has characters the 3DS can't handle because I can see him trying to keep forcing parity with the handheld version, even if switch can technically be both.

Oh thats not too crazy. The only fake sounding thing is the amiibo mania

Not really exciting tbh.
Could be true. This ssb for n3ds is weird though.
As another poster said, it is too stupid to be fake. Looks like one of those strange choices Nintendo make Sometimes.

I just googled it. Didn't post a link as I don't want to spread potentially false information.
That's... Completely different from the "leak" that I just read. Which definitely shows that either one or both are completely made up. There were some super-specific details in the one I saw though.

Sounds too good to be true.

Hmm, the Pikmin name makes me incredibly skeptical, someone on GAF posted the same title as a joke before. I would be pretty happy with this lineup though, especially as the Splatoon 2 presentation could perfectly set up an Inkling trailer for Smash.

This is the saddest thing I have ever read.
The one I posted has been on the site for 6 hours now, before the bundle leaked, haven't seen another one though on the site, which one is the one you're talking about?
That's just depressing

I'm pretty sure it's fake, but Arms is NOT always all caps

aside from Smash, Kirby, and Zelda that would be a damn good direct for me.

I swear to God if they announce GBA games for n3ds and totally ignore VC on the switch I'm going to flip shit.

Eh... Fuck it. I'll just post the link:

Looks like it was posted on April 4th and got archived. Take everything with a grain of salt as usual. I don't personally believe it to be true, but if it's fake I appreciate the level of detail they went into.
Well my world view is ruined

I've actually thought Kirby and the Rainbow Curse would make sense on 3DS for a while now. Calling it "Kirby and the Rainbow Curse 3D" doesn't though seeming as it's controlled with touch, which the 3D screen doesn't have.
So it's fake.
That seems like a very Nintendo thing to do to be honest, I wouldn't be surprised if they completely avoid VC until they start charging for online, because being able to already have all the VC games on the eshop by the time the paid online rolls out would "decrease the value of the subscription service" or something like that.

You know its real too because its taken at a super secret leak aaaangle....
too much shit I want, it has to be fake.

Why do this to me, now i'm going to be devastated when it doesn't happen

I'm 50/50 on these rumours the last ridiculously sounding rumour from their turned out to be completely right though someone could just be piggy backing off that. We'll see.
All that made up, Disney-tier whimsical Virtual console bullshit lol.
As if it needed to be said, fake.

Smash Bros Switch confirmation would be megaton enough, specially coming off an excellent Mario Kart performance and before E3. That leak is right along with what I expected to see

Gba on n3ds! Yes please! Would this be a way around their promise, btw? Since games like Minish Cap and Metroid Fusion would technically be releasing on n3ds and not regular?

Why call it 3D though? Your focus would always be on the touch screen. Even then the 4:3 ratio would be a downgrade. That being said it's the most likely Wii U port if they're still pushing Wii U games over to New 3DS.

Why would you port rainbow curse to 3DS but not also to switch?
Damn that Splatterstamp weapon sounds pretty cool.
Likely fake, but it was an entertaining read nonetheless
Huh. That one does have the bundle

That doesn't even sound that great to me. I'd rather them spend the majority of the show with ARMS and Splatoon 2, announce a demo or second test fire, and then tease SSB Switch. I'm really looking forward to ARMS and Splat2, so I don't mind them doing in-depth (15 min) coverage for both.
I do not buy Smash for New 3DS for a second

Yeah but its not like this is a brand new smash bros. Would be so weird to go in E3 and act like Smash Bros Switch is a whole new game.
