Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Bundle Possibly Leaked
- Thread starter Meelow
- Start date
I'm honestly kinda surprised they would do a Smash bundle at launch. I thought that it wasn't ideal to bundle the system with a game that most customers are planning to get anyway. I didn't expect a Smash bundle until next summer or winter, once all the initial sales were out of the way.
Where was that announced?
Regarding the bundle:
And Europe stays winning if true...
There were images of the box with the E10+ rating in the smash thread the other day but looking into it I'm seeing people claim it's fake, so maybe I jumped the gun.
So, since no else seems to have taken the initiative, I actually did go and identify all of the renders on that tiny ass box:
Surprise surprise, it's nobody new. In fact, it's all characters from the initially-released key art. You know, the one that's the box art? Which makes sense for this type of bundle.
Notice that some of the characters are re-positioned from the released wallpaper. This is also common with promo materials, and lends some legitimacy to the image, since I don't think any transparencies of the 2D artworks have been released (the 3D renders are another story).
But there is one odd thing about this "leaked" image. Did you notice it too?

As for the characters on the dock, I'm not even gonna try, lol. You can clearly identify Kirby and Mario on the left column, but anyone beyond that is just way too small for me to see.

Why would a retail terminal be running an unactivated copy of Windows? Or, maybe this screencap is from the home laptop of the actual graphic designer for the French retail outlet who is putting together this ad. But they're running a pirated copy of Windows? I mean, from very minor past experience I guess it's true enough that freelance graphic design work pays like shit, lol. And Windows sure ain't cheap.
I really love that illustration more than the drawing with the full roster.
it's been heavily rumoured on 4chan. But well, yeah... 4chan is a loose cannon
If you look closely, you can see Luigi's ghost on the Switch console...
Sakurai you sly dog.
Yeah, I forgot to circle it, but that's Link's shield. You can see it in the blown-up render. There's no objects or space unaccounted for.
You must be thinking of that Villager video from the Nintendo VS. Twitter. Pretty sure that was a mis-print.
All sources links back to a (french) jeuxvideo.com forum post but the thread has been deleted and I cannot find any archive (even by removing the "m" for mobile).
Lock if old.
http://m.jeuxvideo.com/forums/42-3007199-57405152-1-0-1-0-switch-edition-smatch-bros.htm was the link shared (yes, the site uses .htm as extension)
The reddit thread say it was about a mall set-up,another reader discussing the thread said it was a Carrefour (french Hypermarket chain) listing. On 4chan, they mention that the 0€ price is for pre-orders. And apparently there was a second image on the thread:

So I don't know how much people believed this leak but this is now an official pro-controller design from here- https://smashbros.nintendo.com/buy/
Which looks like a fairly similar design to the joycons. Same exact color scheme. That kind of suggests this leak was real and those are going to be real joycons.
And they will be mine.

Wait, where is this from?
