So usually I dont really humour these leaks especially when they have Geno and such but let's just talk about it for fun. It's probably not real as the guy knows far too much but he seems certain that the first thing Nintendo reveals will be correct so let's humour it for a bit XD
There are a few things in this leak I can totally see happening but some things are way off the rails.
So for starters it's a Nintendo leak for 2019 and it has all the contents of the fighting pass among various other titles.
3DS
>If you can't tell, Nintendo is not really focusing on the 3DS anymore. Very few new 3DS games are to be released.
>Pokken Tournament 3D will be released in mid 2019. Downgraded visuals but pretty much all the same content as Pokken Tournament DX for Switch. New 3DS exclusive. No online support.
>Splatoon: Squid Ops is a 2.5D Splatoon game to be released in 2019, and the last first party Nintendo game on 3DS. It's a side scroller with an emphasis on single player, but it will have multiplayer features as well. Also coming to Switch as a budget downloadable title. No online support on 3DS, but yes on Switch.
>Other titles coming to 3DS in 2019 from other publishers: Final Fantasy VII, Final Fantasy IX, and Tales of Symphonia (also coming to Switch). Also a bunch of indie games and shovelware that nobody cares about. 2019 is the end of 3DS basically.
Switch
>F-Zero S is in development, but won't be out till 2020. Brand new F-Zero game.
>Super Mario 64 HD and Ocarina of Time HD are both in development, and will be out mid/late 2019.
>Pokemon Dark Past and Pokemon Bright Future are Gen 8. This one is being kept heavily under wraps so I don't actually know much about it.
>Metroid Prime 4 is still being worked on. Expect it by Christmas 2019.
>Daigasso! Band Brothers ON, a new game in the rhythm game series will be out in 2019 but it probably won't come out in English.
>Bunch of third party ****. Persona 5 R, Xenosaga Trilogy, Tales of Symphonia, The Witcher 3, Tekken 7 and Soul Calibur VI are probably the most notable things. Lots of ports...
Smash
>Season 1 DLC characters are Joker, Geno, Lloyd, KOS-MOS and Fawful. Yes, they're all RPG characters. Anybody who tells you any other characters are coming to Smash in S1 are lying liars who lie a lot.
>There will be more seasons. Duh.
Huge red flags: F Zero game.... F zero seems to be dead for too long now. I cant ever see a revival of it. Another Pokken tournament game? I just can't see that happening at all unless it's a complete port of DX. Splatoon on DS? Eh ok ..... he says 3ds is not the focus but lists so many 3DS games. Symphonia, FF VII coming to DS could happen but it's surprising that they would also make a switch version of Symphonia like this guy claims.
POKEMON.... yeah pokemon has stupid titles usually or weird ones but Dark past and Bright future? Okay I mean we got pokemon titles called X and Y so it's not out of the realm of possibilities... but if it's being kept heavily under wraps then I can't see this guy knowing even the titles.
Real stuff in this leak IMO: Xenosaga trilogy coming to switch. Last year in April Namco Bandai redid their trademark for Xenosaga Episode III which somewhat hinted at a revival of the series. We got KOS-MOS and T-elos both in Xenoblade 2 so those have to be hints! We already know Persona 5 R is happening but this could be piggybacking. The witcher 3 coming to switch could be possible as Mass effect 3 did go to Wii U..... ALSO.... Soulcalibur VI has been heavily rumoured for switch by Vergeben but it appeared to be false information at first. I can still see it coming to switch though FOR SURE.
Smash stuff (AKA the only thing people care about) IF THIS leak is real then we can conclude the following: Xenosaga is being revived to have KOS-MOS in smash and it's the same thing with Lloyd. I can totally believe these two bits because smash promotion for KOS-MOS is something I could see coming. She's in Xenoblade 2 etc very popular with crossovers and much more. It would be a perfect gift from Sakurai to Takahashi. Of course, two namco reps is a bit of a stretch. Now let us go to the real problem of this leak..... which are Geno and Fawful specifically. Fawful would be a very cool fighter but we literally got a dlc mario character in Piranha plant already..... and we are supposed to believe Geno is coming too? Two mario characters... one being from SE and two Namco? Things are sounding fishy as hell in the smash part of this leak. The reason I say this is because of the Erdrick rumours we know of. Right now i'm pretty convinced Geno is out as he's a spirit and the SE list rumours, etc. If by chance this turns out being true i'd be super ecstatic though. Hell, if KOS-MOS doesnt make it and I get Xenosaga HD... I'd be a very happy person the same. More seasons is something I can see happen for sure.
Sorry for the text wall but what do you guys think of this leak? Do you think "the first thing it gets right" will make everything else right? Do you think it's real? Do you think some stuff might be real or safe guesses? Discuss!
