Exactly people. If you're going to say whether you think it's Fake or Real, give some explanation instead of a "Hooray +1 post count" .
Circus stated why I think it's real. This boxart uses Character pics that no one in the world has seen yet. Either this guy is a DEVOTED fan and has alot of time and truckloads of talent, or this is definately real. Also, was EVERY character on the Melee cover (man I'm going to feel like an idiot when someone says "yes" . I should've got out my Melee case) ?
The reason why I'm leaning towards "Real" is because the odds favour it being "real". "WHAT ODDS?" ? Well, the ones I posted in the above paragraph about the guy having to be majorly skilled, devoted, lots of time....anyways.
As much as I think this is real, I don't want to believe it because it doesn't have the WiFi sticker...unless this is like...a Beta Boxart and they only put those on the finals.

Nintendo is hold some sort of private press event for games being released at the end of this year (pretty much Brawl and Mario Galaxy). Rumor has it that online play will be announced, along with some other news.

They were, actually. At least, all the starters. There were 4 characters fighting in the middle (Mario, Bowser, Pikachu and Link if, iirc. I don't have my case in front of me either), and the rest of the starting roster appeared in little rectangles off to the side.
BUT, expanding on your point, NOT all of the starting roster appeared on SSB64's cover. Yoshi and DK appeared on the sides.

What does pokemon trainer have to do about it?

I don't think it's real. Mainly because it looks unprofessional.
Yes, the artist who made it had skill, but there's some proportion and spacing issues (most noticeable on Mario and Fox's placement) that make it seem very Deviantart. It lacks a certain professional polish.
That is my opinion on the matter.

I like how people keep saying "Props to the artist(if it's fake)" when in reality, props to the artist even if it's real.
Hooray +1!

Oh... how I agree... MP2's art look like a piece of crap!yeah, metroid prime 2 and 3's boxart weren't very good either but still it came out
But anyway, it's just odd that a character like DK, which has been in all... is not featured on the cover.

DK wasn't on the cover of SSB64.
And he was only in one of the little rectangles on the Melee box.

Probably because the person thinks that the Pokemon Trainer is unlockable.
Funny, there's no proof to back up that claim. -_-
You can't back up something with something that has no proof.

whoever made this did a good job on it, looks like as if it was legit.

I'd say that is very realistic. The images seemed to be custom made to fit that art on the box. Even without the wifi logo, they could redo it again. Remember, Sakurai said he wasn't making promises but he's trying his hardest. Even though all of the starter characters appeared on Melee's box. Not sure about the original SSB.

Ok, maybe he wasn't. lol. But still, I just find the choice of characters to be odd.

Mario's closer to the front and Fox is way off in the background. The only thing that looks even close to being off is how big Mario looks in comparison to Samus.

Interesting...I personally, think this is a mock-up, websites that sell games (EBGames/Gamestop) usually have the boxarts (usually official) on their site but they're usually extremely small. I'm not surprised that this site has this as their boxart for the game, we'll have to see how this develops and see if it appears on EBGames/Gamestop's site anytime soon.
In the meantime, I'll lean towards it being a mock-up before saying it's the final boxart.

Hilarious how people are saying obviously fake because if so many stupid reasons.
I don't see how some of you people think its fake. Those characters are in poses that we have never seen before, plus they are all in 3d so it would be really hard for anyone to somehow make up those images unless you have access to the game itself like, lets say, the developing team? No John Doe did this.
All in all, this could very well be the first leak in brawl's history. If it isn't, however, then thats a pretty good fake...

That would be a pretty awesome boxart indeed. I hope it's official. The lack of wifi is disheartening but then again the rating is rating pending thus proving this could be a protoyype of the final product.

It could be real, but I don't think that will be the FINAL boxart.
Remember the Super Mario Galaxy boxart?

Hah. I know. Saying "LOLZ THATS SHOPPPPED" Doesn't exactly make you an expert.
I thinkt he reason people think it's fake is not to be burned again. We have been to many times. Not fun. I think it's just for protection. This, is a safe bet.
I also beleive it's early. It could change a little, and there should be a Wifi logo in the future.

If that's fake, then my hat is off to whoever faked it.
I think its simply fake due to an odd choice of characters...its ironically a huge number of already revealed characters!
Well, it does look great, and I can believe it to be real...but something is a little too odd about it. Plus it's only in a few locations, and only in this one small size...so, hm.

You're right. Having characters that are in the game on the cover clearly makes it fake.

This is not shopped. I can tell by a lack of pixels and from having seen a lot of shops in my time.

You just won the thread. hahaha.... old memes.
let me try to make this make sense; it seems as if almost all the characters we know so far have been crammed into the title art, as melee's had about 4 characters with some little boxes to represent a few others. The number of characters crammed into one piece of art makes it seem like a fan drawing.You're right. Having characters that are in the game on the cover clearly makes it fake.

SSB had all the characters crammed on the box art. Plus there are characters missing

It's hard to say if this is real or not. It could easily be shopped (hell, someone could've even grabbed one part of a certain characters body and shopped it onto the same character in a different position to make it look like he's doing something else; if it is a shop, however, it's a **** good one), but at the same time this could be a leaked boxart of SSBB. Either way, I think it's ******** to completely assume it's fake or real or saying it's "Obviously fake/real!" all the time.
