Your icon is incredible
A lot of the Grinch art and memes being made are pretty great. If only there was one with Kazooie and Banjo's facial expressions swapped. Kazooie with that degenerate face would be perfect.

I'm getting to the point where I think this is too complicated and convoluted to be fake. If so; the person would be a genius and also out of their goddamn mind to waste so much effort on somthing that could be debunked in about a month due to release.

The longer this leak falls down the rabbit hole the more real it looks. Eric is a madman for this, and apparently Marina is doing damage control now? Actually, a lot of people are doing damage control as the longer this leak continues to be disproven.

I'm guna say its real its WAY to convoluted to be a fake & even gamexplain is to afraid to disscuss it at ALL ! & they talk about the most mundane fake leaks for at least a half hour B4, I feel like someone at nintendo told them not to cover it, especially Ash he always went on & on about couris men or boys or what ever they are looking over so many smash 4 leaks about them NOW all of a sudden they are silent ? but never shut up about verg steve & incinaroar ? sounds fishy to me

So would Microsoft, Rare, and Mojang’s names be listed, or just Rare’s and Mojang’s? (Assuming there is Minecraft content)

Assuming there's Minecraft content, maybe all 3? Without Minecraft my guess would be Microsoft and Rare.


About the mural pic I find it funny that Banjo & Kazooie are under Bayonetta. Most likely it wasn't intentional with how both of them aren't looking at Bayo and vice versa, but still it seems like the bear and bird can't get away from witches.

I'm guessing that we won't actually get a Mach Rider Stage (or Rhythm Heaven but that seems less likely) but rather TWO Microsoft stages, Minecraft and a Banjo Stage. Cause I think Verge's source's might have still been right about minecraft representation.

In my opinion, all the new info seems more damage control than anything else. Of course that company would deny everything, is that so much of a surprise? This leak is the same as the ESRB one, same time window from launch, same consistency and same controversy. If it was just a regular fake leak, why all the fuss??

As with the ESRB leak, everyone can only point out small discrepancies that actually have no impact on the behind-the-scenes magnitude of things. For this to be fake, no sane person would have been capable of being so ahead of time to predict all the connections that have been established. From the language used in the text one, I just imagine it's a dude who strongly dislikes Nintendo and did this just to screw them up, first as a Snapchat prank that got out of hand and was blown out to the whole internet.

And just look at the images! Everything is so well put together that, again, it doesn't make sense anyone would go to such an extreme just to leak a game a month from launch, even earlier if we take into account the unavoidable Direct soon already revealing everything. This just has to be real, if not, I quit.

And if this leak is, in fact legit, and Banjo & Kazooie are finally coming home to Nintendo, on the year of their TWENTIETH ANNIVERSARY ON A NINTENDO CONSOLE.... This will truly be the greatest timeline we are living in. I hope to Sakurai this leak is real.

Just think of how good it will feel to have a Banjo-Kazooie amiibo. I only have 4 amiibos, with one of them being an unopened:4cloud:but I know I'm about to have a long list of amiibos to get this time around.

I was planning on getting the K. Rool amiibo as my first, but if this leak is true (and I believe it is), then I'm getting a Banjo Kazooie one with it. They'll be my small Rareware trophies.

THE AMIIBO!!! OH MY GODDDDD THE AMIIBO. I have Mario, Luigi, Peach, Bowser, Link (actually every Link amiibo including the Smash one, for Breath of the Wild, of course), King Dedede, Sonic the Hedgehog, Mega Man, Pac-Man, & Ryu. But if Banjo & Kazooie are truly in and they get amiibo? They will be my prized amiibo.

Yes.
It's a win-win. If it's true then we get Banjo.
If it's false this guy deserves a fraggin' medal.
I'm really enjoying the leak.

Yeah no lie, this leak is the most exciting thing that’s happened all month.

Words can’t describe how real I want it to be so badly.

I'm not sure if the guy deserves a medal....since if it's fake then this guy was impersonating Eric Bricard and got him into trouble with the companies he worked for. (even if he's innocent it still seems like these companies are investigating him)

Of course in terms of the leak itself, if fake it's a very impressive fake.

That reminds me I have to add the 3 Links to my list. I have the Wii U Link but since I'm going to be playing with all of the Links again I want to pick up amiibos for them. I'm also really grateful of the returning veterans coming back for Ultimate. I can't wait to body someone with my free Ultimate Young Link and Snake.

As a Dixie fan, Dixie can wait. She’ll eventually be in a Smash Bros game. This is the perfect time for Banjo: 20th anniversary, older fans coming back to gaming with the Switch, last generation that’ll remember the bear and bird greatly, and Microsoft considering the Switch a “handheld” and not competition.

I could see Big Blue being used as Mach Riders home stage....at least for Classic mode content.

Wasn't the original Mach Rider song on Big Blue?

We also have the retro looking F-Zero stage from Smash 3ds if I'm not mistaken.

The thing I find suspicious about this Eric Bricard saying it's fake.....is wouldn't he say this anyway? Sure you could argue that he's already destroyed his career and would be about to get sued but he'd probably still try to deny it in order to save himself. (or get a lesser punishment)

Think about it. Right now we have people on both sides who believe it's real and fake.....if he comes out and outright confirms that it's real then more people will start believing that it's real and he'll have just added more fuel to the fire. Right now there's at least confusion over whether it's real or not. Of course none of this would make much difference to how screwed he might be but if you were in the same situation and you were scared your career was going down the drain even if you thought it was futile you'd still do whatever you could to try to salvage it.

That's even more true if it was a friend who leaked it and not specifically you. Even more reason to try to protect yourself.

I'm just not sure how we can take what he's saying at face value.

Yeah, until the next direct, it's gonna be a long, anxious wait. I'll be holding my breath feverishly these next few weeks....

All that needs to happen is for one newcomer to be revealed, then, based on the banner artwork, we’ll be able to confirm or debunk the leak.

So all morning since work was slow I decided to get the leaks into a character select screen, but then I thought, i think I can fit another column here. Came up with thise CS screen with an 86 roster(if you count each Mii fighter)

Feel like this could work well, either as Base game(very unlikely) or as the first dlc. Heck, I feel like with some more scaling I could add a 7th row, for 14 more characters as DLC. It could happen if this game gets a very long life cycle(most of the switches life)

From the sound of it, the lovely folks at Nintendo Life are on Team Hmm.

Assuming there's Minecraft content, maybe all 3? Without Minecraft my guess would be Microsoft and Rare.

Is it just me, or is Banjo's nose huge on here?

Congrats, this is the most plausible fan roster I've ever seen up to now.

I'm ready to be btfo if this leak is in fact an elaborate hoax, but yeah people are starting to get a little crazy over this.

Is Banjo's nose huge on here?
A little bit. From what I can visually make out I really like his proportions in the mural. Kazooie looks promising as wel. Idk why people are so quick to suggest that this look of Banjo-Kazooie is the Smashified art when they clearly look nothing alike.

It's honestly hilarious, because GameXplain used that as one of their "reasons" that it's fake, while ArtsyOmni himself (who still seems on the fence) was like "that's absolutely not Smashified Banjo"

Banjo's nose has come into question?

Rare literally redesigned him for Nuts and Bolts because they "couldn't capture the charm of the original models." Whether you believe that excuse, Banjo along with all Steve Mayles other designs has always looked weird. He has a giant nose in half the art I've seen including all the original renders. His entire face changes shape based on the artist because his design is so not set in stone and his face is so oddly shaped. I don't believe his nose has anything to do with if its fake or not

Some people in the general thread were upset with the nose size. It is simply unbelivable a faker would make it that big

On that topic, isn’t Banjo flying in the “leak”
Yeah, his spot in the leak confuses me. I always imagined he would either be near Diddy or Pit up in the air.

Doesn’t make it less credible of course but it’s a little weird.
