If we're going strictly off demand, Joker would not be in the game. We'd probably get something like Master Chief, Waluigi, Steve, a gen 1 mon, and some other mainline character. It's not clear how Nintendo chose the DLC. All we know is that they gave Sakurai a list and he chose 5 characters from that.
It's a way to grow your brand, so to speak.
To be honest it doesn’t even make sense in this context because Sabi never once said that Banjo was in. They said they can see why Vergeben thinks Banjo is in due to knowing who his source is but they personally don’t know if he’s in or not.
I'll check!

taught me anything, it's to never give up hope. Banjo and Kazooie are still very much in the running, and even if Sabi refuses to say anything more about Nintendo's presentation, we know her sources are credible if her information on Microsoft is anything to go by. Pair that with the fact that she teased Banjo for Smash, and there is still light at the end of this tunnel.
wait they took down that video?
I didn't even notice that until you said it. *Checks* It is indeed gone...most peculiar...
Nope! Still there!
If someone privately gets info from an inside source it's entirely on them if they decide to share it publicly or not, as far as the law cares you're just as liable for sharing that info as the other party.

said Sabi told him personally on Discord that Banjo is in. I'm pretty surprised we've all been ignoring that.
Shut up! You're making me worried...
It's still on their channel?
I actually had no idea about that tbh. Since it doesn’t even seem to be common knowledge yet then Nintendo definitely doesn’t know about it either so Banjo still most definitely wouldn’t be leakbait.Listen, you don't use a character as leakbait if they're more popular than the character you're actually introducing. People believed that Incineroar was leakbait because he was kind of boring and predictable. Everyone said, "Oh, Incineroar is a smokescreen for Banjo, Geno, and Isacc." No one said he's a smokescreen for, like, Baby Mario.

Exactly. Nintendo already set their plans in stone and are likely putting the final touches to the direct. Nothing will change, so there's no need to freak out. They gave Sabi a C&D because she was leaking information. They definitely have a big surprise for us that they don't want to be ruined, that's for sure.
I mean, I...guess?
Not to mention, it would take a lot of work to change the stuff in the Direct, as there would be a lot of development needed to make even the slightest change. Everything has already been finalized, and they'd have to delay the Direct if they were to change anything. Keep that in mind.
That still doesn't mean leaking trailers is actually wrong. The law does all sorts of asinine things for big corporations, we all know this. Leaking a list of trailers hurts literally no one.
You’re mad at Nintendo for doing their job? Leaking is technically wrong. So they are doing their job to prevent.
The reason most insiders don't say bluntly Banjo is in is becasue they like to play the teasing game. That's the reason that when Vergeben namedropped Ridley, he gained the most attention because unlike most insiders he was far more blunt about it (Vergeben back then wasn't as hated as he is now, if he had the same reputation now most of the attention of Banjo would be laying on him instead of Shinobi) same goes for Simon where he was blunt as opposed to Jon who was more subtle.

Don't burn your own happiness by trying to please everyone or cheer others up. Take it from someone with experience in that...people heal in their own way. Now take care! 
Don't feel bad at all, and don't get cold feet one day before the reveal man!
Answer me this, has Shinobi ever been wrong? From what I recall, no, he's always hinted/leaked correct things. Yes, yes, "there's a first for everything" but as of right this moment we have no reason to doubt the guy. He's been doing this for a long time so he knows exactly what he is doing when it comes to sifting out the potential garbage from the jewels.
Gave out their name, firm, contact information, etc. I heard from her discord she is gonna delete the tweet but it wasn't from her so idk if she actually has/will.
Than that means every credible Leaker will go extinct because of the Leak they have believed to be true and destroyed any credibility they ever gotten
They aren't though?Listen, you don't use a character as leakbait if they're more popular than the character you're actually introducing. People believed that Incineroar was leakbait because he was kind of boring and predictable. Everyone said, "Oh, Incineroar is a smokescreen for Banjo, Geno, and Isacc." No one said he's a smokescreen for, like, Baby Mario.

There probably are but you'd be hard pressed to find someone with as credible of a track record as Sabi.
