Tell me in 100 words or less why we should be inclined to believe your leak go.Yikes, did not expect this to reach ResetEra, but here we are.

Why does he have to be smart
what is this I have no idea what you're trying to argue
Geno is owned by Square. The problem would be Sora, since he's actually owned by Disney.
Geno was made by Square. I would assume insiders would say Geno is a Square rep
In the initial ESRB leak before the 3DS version, the leaker posted images of every character in Smash history with either a check or an x to signify if they were in or not, plus the Smash 4 newcomers. Mewtwo was the only character with a question mark instead, so he was clearly under some sort of consideration at the time. And then he was publicly announced before the Smash Wii U launch. So yeah, even though they say they don't consider DLC until the game is out... they definitely do. It's PR talk to shield from potential criticisms of characters being cut solely so they can be added back in as DLC.

These are people that made a message that said fuck Nintendo and attempted to censor the name and did a poor job at it.all factors considered it seems implausibly stupid and convenient, and the shot at Nintendo just makes it seem more intentional. But I guess OP can call me stupid and thats a-ok for some reason.
Also, Banjo and Conker were removed from that Diddy Kong Racing remake. Did Microsoft have their teams make that game though?
But there was that Banjo GBA game.
So no idea.

It took 5 years since Mega Man's Smash announcement for Capcom to put out a new game.I think Banjo pushes me to think this is fake. I just don't see it happening. They wouldn't do this unless Banjo had a game in the pipeline and I don't think we will see a new game in the series any time soon.
Diddy Kong Racing DS was Rare, yeah. I imagine that decision actually came from Nintendo - by that point the "Donkey Kong Universe" was pretty established, not to mention Conker had become a very, very different character post-DKR 64.
There was also a Viva Pinata game on DS, and this year's Microsoft E3 conference straight up had a Switch in it, thanks to Minecraft.
Honestly the barriers that were once up for Rare stuff on Nintendo were already pretty small (Goldeneye 64 was very almost ported to both Wii and 360 IIRC), I don't think they'd necessarily say no to Banjo in Smash these days
All the fans I see all over the internet call Sora a Square rep. Idk if insiders think differently. We call him a Square rep because he was made by Square and his ties are always with Square.So is Sora considered a Square rep or a Disney rep by insiders?
On contract, Disney. But they don't do anything with the series without Nomura's say so, to the point that it's basically Square's. It doesn't feel too dissimilar to how Spidey's movie license is still Sony's but we all know damn well Marvel is running.So is Sora considered a Square rep or a Disney rep by insiders?
Fire Emblem Fates was already out in JPN when they announced Corrin for Smash.If "the roster was finalized in 2015" is the main/only reason for no Arms or XC2 reps, I have a hard time believing somebody from a completely unannounced game is in.
If I remember correctly, didn't they announce Corrin as DLC when they announced Fates for 3DS? They'll probably do that with the new FE character in the spring, along with Ribbon Girl/Spring Man, everyone's weird XC2 rep, a Gen 7/Gen 8 Pokemon (if Incineroar actually isn't in), a new game's rep, and one more weird throwback.
This is a pretty solid theory imo. Then it also makes sense that all these insiders have heard, because they have contacts at the game awards.Banner characters in a November Direct and then the missing character revealed on December 6th at the Game Awards is my guess. Probably Dante or Sora.
The pedantic arse in me would say Disney, but it's not like they ever do anything with the character. Nominally it's the Mouse, but in practice I imagine the supervision about how Sora ought to be depicted would involve Square people.So is Sora considered a Square rep or a Disney rep by insiders?
???
there are lots of stupid people dude. it's much more likely the guy or his friend didn't really think things through than a guy intentionally destroyed his own life for internet fame.
It just feels like you want to argue without knowing what to say
It was not, but it's fair that you would think that if you're not familiar with the app.Don't get me wrong, the background editing is the bigger reason I think its fake. The origin story of this whole thing just seemed really dubious and overlooked.

In November 2006, Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime announced that Nintendo was exploring the possibility of adding the Nintendo 64 video game GoldenEye 007 to the Virtual Console, despite a complicated situation in which the game's developer Rare is owned by Microsoft (producers of the rival Xbox 360 console) and the video game rights to the James Bond franchise are held by Activision. He stated, "We would love to see it [on the Virtual Console], so we're exploring all the rights issues. On 7 January 2008, Xbox Evolved reported that an updated version of GoldenEye 007 would be released on Xbox Live Arcade. However on 11 January 2008, 1UP.com reported that a GoldenEye 007 port (as opposed to a remake) had been in development at Rare for several months, but stated that the title would not be released on the Xbox Live Arcade since "Microsoft and Nintendo couldn't agree on the financial side of things".
It took 5 years since Mega Man's Smash announcement for Capcom to put out a new game.
Even then around planning there was the Rare Replay
It's a smash leak, of course it's gonna reach us lolYikes, did not expect this to reach ResetEra, but here we are.
I've read this post four or five times and I'm still not quite sure what you are arguing lol.If hes really the one who put "fuck Nintendo lol" then that's even more reason to think this guy is not a particularly mature or bright individual, in the scenario that it was an actual leak (which I don't find likely)
I think they meant their Tweet.
I've read this post four or five times and I'm still not quite sure what you are arguing lol.
Those were separate projects. Goldeneye on Wii was supposed to be a Virtual Console/emulationFound the quote regarding Goldeneye being ported to Wii and 360:
Eventually that semi-remake from Activision came out instead.
So yeah, Nintendo and Microsoft weren't exactly adverse to working together, and that was over a decade ago. Times have changed even more since then.
Why wouldn't that reach here? Everyone is looking for new info.
Diddy Kong Racing DS was Rare, yeah. I imagine that decision actually came from Nintendo - by that point the "Donkey Kong Universe" was pretty established, not to mention Conker had become a very, very different character post-DKR 64.

Honestly the barriers that were once up for Rare stuff on Nintendo were already pretty small (Goldeneye 64 was very almost ported to both Wii and 360 IIRC), I don't think they'd necessarily say no to Banjo in Smash these days. I'm half expecting his reveal to coincide with a Rare Replay port to Switch (minus everything for Xbox platforms).
It's not precisely the same picture: the Grinch's head is lower in the leak. You can tell by looking at where the curvature of his chin begins in comparison to the dogs' ears.
Yikes, did not expect this to reach ResetEra, but here we are.
I just don't see any back in that blurry piece... how do you guys see it so clearly? The color difference can be attributed to the low quality as well right?I actually linked that very poster in my original post
The difference is the dog is higher, and he's in front of the Grinch's back, of which there are no renders (that anyone has found). You can tell because the Grinch's face (which has green highlights) is on the opposite "side", with the dogs ears peeking out behind him.
And the Banjo games plus Diddy Kong Racing could be on N64 miniSince I fully believe Banjo and Kazooie are in then I can see a Banjo Threeie announced at XO18
I just don't see any back in that blurry piece... how do you guys see it so clearly? The color difference can be attributed to the low quality as well right?
That Or I may not understand your explanation
Honestly looking at it that Grinch picture does look the same, but I don't see how that changes anything. Why would the leaker have that marketing material on sight in the first place?
Yeah I forgot about the N64 Mini. This would bode very well for Rare games on it.And the Banjo games plus Diddy Kong Racing could be on N64 mini
