Art render - Brawl trophy - "3DS"

A couple extra polys on the curve, or just an artifact of being a blurry shot of a low res screen? Hell if I know.
 
I think the bigger question is that if it is real, who leaked it and how? Someone on the dev team? That would seem very uncharacteristic.
 
Yeah, tonight's filled with excitement.

This is very interesting. I doubt we'll hear anything for a while, until a Direct reveals her or the leaker states it's a fake.

After last night discussing the ledge grabs/Palutena ti'll like 4 and having class at 7, I'm super tired but it was wroth it, most fun we've had in a minute.
 
This is the most plausible scenario for the potential leak getting out that I’ve seen: Nintendo is setting up a media event for future game releases and someone organizing it took pictures of a playable Smash Bros. demo. Palutena’s reveal might coincide with that event. It would explain why Palutena is the only new character photographed — the demo wouldn’t include anyone else we haven’t seen.

That's definitely possible. I was kind of going the next reveal would be Diddy Kong to go along with my hopes and dreams of the Translator Leak though. In kind of surprised we haven't had an announcement of a Nintendo Direct coming up.

In that case I wish they would've taken a picture of the menu screen or bottom screen.
 
Well, this has been a pretty crazy day for Smash Bros, time to sleep the rest of it. I wonder if we'll get any comment or any new leaks...

I still am not completely convinced that it's legit, but I'm actually speechless when trying to find proof to disprove it. Everything appears untraceable, and the Palutena model itself just looks perfect for Smash 3DS (in my opinion).

Yeah, all sources are coming back as negative.

This is 100% original.
 
There was the famous leak during Brawl's development that leaked the Dragoon Parts, some veterans, Lucario, and Wolf. It didn't have any pictures, though.

Well there is a leak with Ness, Lucario, and Jigglypuff which Nintendo Press made mistake with. They overlooked the sticker effects for specific characters, so we got three characters from there.

Rumors of a Jan 27th floating around, that's all though.

Where did you hear that?

That's definitely possible. I was kind of going the next reveal would be Diddy Kong to go along with my hopes and dreams of the Translator Leak though. In kind of surprised we haven't had an announcement of a Nintendo Direct coming up.

I don't really want Translator leak to be right since I would like to have few surprises.

Investors : "So Iwata... what is your big salvation for the WiiU ?"

Iwata : "...do you guys like Kid Icarus ? =D"
 
So how is the progress, is it stil sitting on potentially being very real or is there more evidence that it could be fake?
 
The translator leak also said that he flew to Japan, hired a guy, and got Sakurai to spill a ton of information so I don't know why anyone's giving that the time of day.
 
The more I compare it to existing 3DS Smash shots the more I am convinced the picture is real. If it is fake, then the faker did his fucking homework on how the outlines on characters work and look (quite unlike the fake Ness/Jigglypuff shot).

The points where her halo meet her outline just scream real to me. I really doubt any faker would have caught that.
 
Whenever I see an update my only fear is i'm going to see a 3DS boxart and it will lack online like Mario Party. It's become a nightmare for me.
