So recently, a number of leaks have come out that may or not be real and it got me thinking... over the years we have seen some insanely elaborate fakes that had gamer's imaginations running wild.

The latest one that I came across that's astounding in terms of the effort - was the fake Delfino Island for Super Mario Odyssey:

Why someone went through all this to create this short clip is beyond me, but now I'm just left feeling sad that it doesn't actually exist.

I'm a big fan of fake E3 confidential lists. Jeff Gerstmann did one that actually became viral.

I hadn't seen this Sunshine fake, that's incredibly impressive, it looks like they even made some changes that weren't even in Sunshine but i imagine would happen if they made Delfino plaza world like the giant shine spinning similar to how it is in the Smash Bros stage.

Nintendo switch is hands down the craziest one I can think of. And I remember a ton of crazy fake leaks. Nothing caught like wildfire the way that did. I wonder what Nintendo themselves were thinking when they saw it lol

Bloodborne II, easily.

Stings twice as bad because the logo is god-tier.
