I predict Smash Wii U footage to be posted soon.

Not really surprising. Same happened with Smash 3DS.
But holy crap, not 15 days before the release. That's more than 2 weeks, and the only reason we knew about the characters before 3DS came out was a dude from NoA leaking the videos they made for the ESRB. The first people that got Smash 3DS got it on 9/11 iirc.

Could easily be fake.

Anyone can print off a cover and put it in a Wii U box.

I'm looking forward to all the music tracks the Wii U version has to offer, myself.

Geez, I know that people are gonna get the game early, but not THIS early!

Hopefully we get some more gameplay. And also music. I love music~

Wait, Pidgezero...? I've seen that name before. Doesn't she have an account on this site?

Man, I'm jealous. I want to play Smash 4 but I kinda can't anymore because my Circle Pad keeps locking up. I'm pretty much forced to wait for the Wii U version at this point.

Yeah my circle pad grey part came off from the Smash 3DS demo, so future 3DS games will be annoying, I guess I can glue it though, hopefully.

To put this in simple terms, the person is forbidden to show any gameplay videos until "after" the official release of the game.

Well, I couldn't imagine the pressure of people hustling her for new information

If I had the game early I'd probably just lock myself up in my room away from the rest of the world and silently enjoy the game

She says she won in through a tournament, it's likely she had to sign an NDA, and we won't get any news out of this.

Oh okay, that's reasonable. As much as I want to see gameplay, I can still wait for 2 more weeks.

Yea, no more leaking of things. I'm as hyped as everyone else, but I'd rather people enjoy their privileges and stop getting into trouble.

The NDA is highly supicious as they let groups like GX record footage but they couldn't talk duck hunt who they were also shown. So what is being hidden here by nintendo i wonder,...

There's still a bunch of content Nintendo doesn't want to be revealed yet, such as unknown stages and whatnot. They probably didn't allow the Duckhunt footage because his stage was likely unlocked along with it. They wanted that saved for the DHD trailer I guess.

The same case is applied here.

Also, notice despite Kongo Jungle being on the main site's howto pages, we still have yet to see footage of the stage itself in action. I feel there's a lot of stages we may not have seen yet

She actually got the 3DS version a week early, too, according to Reddit. And despite the Japanese version already being out, she wasn't allowed to talk about any of the hidden stuff.

NDAs are standard procedure. They could unveil everything and still make her sign an NDA.

Who is the girl who won a early copy

Im just glad she has to go embargo on smash wii u
It's me! (Proof: check my twitter name and compare to my swf username) https://twitter.com/pidgezero_one

I didn't win a smash U tournament and I have no idea where people are getting that idea. I am a TO for smash 64 and a promoter for the Ontario smash community and a staff member at /r/smashbros, I play every game competitively but have only ever won small locals for 64, Melee, and Brawl. I have never won a Smash 4 tournament or a PM tournament. :p

Nintendo knows about me through word of mouth and send the game to me as a surprise, a few other Canadian smashers got it the same way. I was just the first to post about it.

God damn it guys im trying to pack!

I don't have a stapler, here's a tape dispenser

Could easily be fake.

Printing off a fake disc for the second pic would be a little more impressive, don't you think? ;)

My old computer from more than 10 years ago could print CD covers like that

I don't really care if it's real or not though

I don't think the disc art has even been posted anywhere until I posted that pic, to be fair. But yes, it's real :p
