Just imagine one second: Super Smash Brothers vs Shonen Jump All-Stars.

This would be one of the greatest games ever.

aand another legendary thread lands on neogaf

 

[PaulExcellent]

Super Sonic?

NO.
NO MORE OF THAT.

I could play this

Depending on your definition of "open world", we've already had two in Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Sunshine.

You must be new to GAF; this has been brought up many times.

Okay, I'm sure you've played Super Mario 64. The levels in that game are pretty open. Now, imagine a game where all the levels are connected. The game notifies you when you enter a new area, and some areas are blocked off until you defeat a boss.

What's Super Mario 64?

Just kidding. Fair enough. I guess I had Elder Scrolls and Fallout type open-worlds in mind, and trying to imagine a Mario game within a world like those seemed very weird. But the way LonelyGreyWolf explains it, it does sound like it work pretty well.

Still, not sure if something like that is necessarily "the biggest we've ever seen and will look like nothing we've ever seen."

 

[Kacho]

The first three rumors seem like pretty safe bets. We need more wild rumors like that Metroid x Star Fox from last year.

 

[Weiss]

Goku being in Smash Bros. was a pretty popular rumour back when I was in grade school.

 

[Margalis]

DBZ characters in Smash sounds awful.

Unless it's Piccolo.

 

[captainraincoat]

Nintendo please wow me.......my wiiu is literally sitting in a ps3 launch pile of dust

I have been trying to explain to my son what makes nintendo so great but he is yet to see
anything apart from Mario Wii U

The first three rumors seem like pretty safe bets. We need more wild rumors like that Metroid x Star Fox from last year.

StreetsAhead collected a bunch of the "rumors":

-3-5 Directs starting on or around May 24th, between 30~50 minutes each.
-GCN games, like Sunshine, will be shown at E3.
-Retro’s game is: First person, big, good looking, set somewhat ‘futurish’
-Smash Bros. will include a trailer with gameplay and cinematics. Using old ideas that were scrapped. Both 3DS & Wii U versions to be shown, including screenshots.
-‘Waves’ (possibly Wave Race) will be ‘heard about’.
-3-5 unannounced Wii U 1st party titles (as in no information at all yet) and 10-20 3rd party games between April 27th and the end of E3. Possibly more, but not less.
-DQX is being localised for NA, but taking its time
-3D Mario is bigger than any previous Mario title, being led by Yoshiaki Koizumi,
-Expecting to release ~10 games in the later half of 2013 (maybe)
-No Chibi Robo-related developments.
-Several demos relating to Donkey Kong have been made
-MH4 for the US, MH4 for Wii U, but no talk @ E3.
-No online in MP3DS. Mario Party U by end 2014
-‘80%’ chance of seeing Wii Sports @ E3.

-Shin’en’s game begins with R.
-Possibly buying licenses/IPs from Lucas Arts, developing similar games.

2. The New 3D Mario will be the biggest we've ever seen and will look like nothing we've ever seen.

Isn't that to be expected from every new 3D iteration of Mario?

 

[PaulExcellent]

DBZ characters in Smash sounds awful.

Unless it's Piccolo.

Yeah, that would be rad too.

 

[Volotaire]

OK cant stop now. I just love fake rumors. Gets me hyped.

 

[NeoRausch]

IGN forums...

I stopped there. that's like Forbes contributer.

 

[PaulExcellent]

I only need like, 3 of those rumors to be true for me to drive 100 miles and get a WiiU right now.

 

[suavelicious]

And here it comes! The greatest reveal ever! You were waiting for him all along... here it comes... RADITZ!

but he never made it to Super Sayan, did he?

 

[Father_Brain]

Sounds extremely credible and not at all like a fanboy wet dream.

 

[IntelliHeath]

Actually they said "certain super saiyan" so they could meant Sonic and his final smash, Super Sonic. However, I don't believe him.

 

[-MB-]

Guy is a proven BSer, no need to give this more attention lol.

 

[Amalthea]

What a load of bull.

 

[Goldmund]

I'm glad Project Hammer is still alive. I'm not sure it will hold up to titles on competing platforms, though, like Agent or The Last Guardian.

 

[Venin]

Actually they said certain super saiyan so they could meant Sonic and his final smash, Super Sonic.

Edited: I don't really believe him anyway.

Sonic is not a Saiyajin, though. He's a hedgehogjin.

 

[Alrus]

God that rumor list is ridiculous. Fanboy wishful thinking at its best.

 

[IHaveIce]

Oh, brother. Goku alone should give you an idea of how much salt you need to take this with.

IAmtheFMan already summarized this guy in another thread:

Bahahahah the Retro shooter better graphics than the PS4 and Nextbox combined. Yeah for sure. Will absolutely happen.


Goku in Smash would be funny but also pretty dumb and "un-nintendo-like"

 

[SirIgbyCeaser]

Why?

 

[Birathen]

God damn, my bombshelter aint done yet! I hope they are right. Oh god I really do.

 

[Cade]

Otherwise it sounds like bullshit. And personally, I loathe the idea of polluting a franchise like Smash with characters that did not originate in the world of videogames. Bollocks idea.

Yeah, I feel a little repulsed just thinking about it. Far too fanfiction-y. There's no way it's true though.

 

[7he Talon]

I'm struggling to think what they could do next for a 3D Mario game...

Super Mario: Pirate?

 

[nintendoman58]

A certain "Super Saiyan" was teased to be in the next Smash Bros.

If this is true...holy shit at the potential TeamFourStar videos that could come from this.

 

[wildfire]

DBZ characters in Smash sounds awful.

Unless it's Piccolo.

^

 

[Javier]

The only correct answer for a DBZ character in Smash is Farmer with Shotgun.

 

[TheCongressman1]

-May tease Zelda w/ some artwork. Compromise between using Game Pad and Motion Control. Like the original Zelda, open world.

YESSSSSSSS. YESSSSS!!!!!

This isn't real.

 

[tolkir]

Young Goku or bust.

 

[GulAtiCa]

I don't think he's legit. At least I'm suspicious of him.

 

[Codo]

Why would i believe some shady rumours about a company that more often disappointed me than not?

 

[Thoraxes]

Why would i believe some shady rumours about a company that more often disappointed me than not?

Are you new to E3?

This is like the best time of the year because of this stuff lol

 

[Hermii]

This sounds like 100% bullshits (exept for the safe bets like the Mario thing, but anyone could tell you those and probably be right)



But Im still getting exited for it haha.

 

[Mileena]

Bahahahaha the guy got his own thread. He seems pretty legit :lol

 

[popeutlal]

Positive Nintendo rumors posted on forums never come true. Can't believe people haven't learned that by now.

 

[DragonSworne]

It would be fun to see Goku lose to Peach. How would you feel about that Anita?

 

[Katsuragi]

I have been trying to explain to my son what makes nintendo so great but he is yet to see
anything apart from Mario Wii U

There are plenty of excellent Wii games which would prove your point. Show him Mario Galaxy and his mind will probably be blown.

 

[Thrillhouse]

How would someone even go about obtaining such a broad spectrum of Nintendo information? It would need to come from really high up. Assuming he knew some dev(s), the guys at retro probably knows as much about the next mario as we do, and vice versa with EAD. The likelyhood that this guys knows both japanese and american developers, or some nintendo executive is very unlikely.

The poster is Reggie.

Stop using your dirty logics.

 

[Damo Yoshi]

It's the most wonderful time of the year~

We're already behind schedule guys, hurry up! We need to match rumours as crazy as Metroid x Star Fox before the 21st! EatChildren isn't going to eat children on his own!

 

[Galang]

Hmm I thought almost nothing could top snake's reveal, but goku would definitely cause many meltdowns...

If it somehow happens, Gohan better be in also

 

[Hakai]

I'm #TeamFake here.

It's like he gives a clue that is fake by saying Goku would be in Smash. If that actually happens I will gladly eat a crown!

Obviously he's got an Uncle in Japan who is giving him the hookup. This is the same dude who's uncle brought him back a Nintendo 2 with Ultra Mario where Mario has a gun. Duh...

 

[mocolostrocolos]

Those rumors are too good looking to ve true.

 

[BGBW]

Not just Goku, but all the big names from Shonen Jump like Luffy, Gintoki and floating pirate face!
