So guys, don't get
too excited because this could easily just be a case of GameStop using a poor choice of words and really bad research on their part. I know the phrase is old at this point but: "Take it with a grain of salt" ... BUT GameStop may have made an oopsie
In one of their game overviews (Those videos they usually play in-store on those little TVs) for Origami King. They spoke about Mario RPG and how it led to Paper Mario as a series... and she says those magic words:
"Everyone freaked out when Geno was announced for Smash!"
Since Covid messed everything up, its entirely possible that Geno was supposed to have been revealed by now and these being recorded in advanced with information that was supposed to go out at a certain time and yeah you see where I'm going
But again, the more
likely explanation is that they just took the spirit inclusion to mean something more than it was and they just flubbed their research and used poor wording
Still.. it sure is something when even GameStop is talking about our boi
