Could we be getting game-linked unlockable characters in Smash?

A Neogaf user by the name of Spainkiller has just put out an interesting rumor:
Buying and linking both versions of Super Smash Brothers will net you additional unlockable characters, which may include:
Dixie
Ridley
Chorus Men
Mewtwo

He claims that the rumor is valid because the person who has given him the rumor, is the same one who outed the additional Koopaling skins for Bowser Jr shortly after the ESRB leaks hit the net, and as we all know, that has come to pass as true.

He cautions, though, to continue taking this with a grain of salt.

What's your take on this, N4G?
True or false?

Im gonna quit me job and become a rumor maker on neogaf.

Ridley, one part stage hazard, one part fighter.

eaise3946d ago

Ridley is gonna be a fighter= automatic false rumor :)
Plus this is a stupid thing. I'd be extremely angry if this was actually true.

Trolltroll3946d ago

I would agree but... I still have not seen him as a stage hazard in any of the lvls show on the streams.

GoPanthers9993946d ago

no prob, getting 2 3ds versions for he kids plus the wii u, hope this is true.

weekev153946d ago

To be fair, the guy stated hes seen the character models and is just guessing at how you unlock them. Could be DLC.

admiralvic3945d ago

They could also be cut content or scrapped ideas. Like Dixie Kong could have been a Diddy Kong alternate like others have, Ridley might have been a stage hazard, Chorus Men probably was considered for a 3DS exclusive stage and mewtwo could have been a poke ball summon or or something along these lines.

I mean, we have one "real" thing to go on here. There are moving models (meaning they could be anything that moves from a summon to playable character), but everything beyond that sounds to be theory and assumptions, which leads me to believe this is false (especially because this doesn't even sound like a Nintendo move).

wonderfulmonkeyman3946d ago

A little detail I forgot to mention; there was nothing indicating that the characters unlocked would be exclusive to either version; if this rumor is true, it will likely make the fighters available in both versions.

Bizarre & Forgotten Final Fantasy Games

Just like you don’t ask a woman her age, you don’t ask a Final Fantasy fan how many games there are in total.

I don't quiet get who it's directed at. General player? Sure, I can believe them not knowing some of the less popular final fantasy games. But final fantasy FANS? There is nothing forgotten about these games.

The director of the original Silent Hill: “I look forward to seeing bold interpretations.”

Keiichiro Toyama—the creator and original director of the 1999 Silent Hill—shared his personal thoughts on the recently announced remake by Konami, reflecting on what the project means to him after more than two decades:
“I felt something similar when the game was adapted into a movie. It deeply moved me to see the names of the characters and locations I had created come to life visually, even though I wasn’t directly involved. That wouldn’t have been possible without the continued support of the fans and the dedication of the developers who’ve kept the series alive.
I’m really looking forward to seeing how the remake evolves this time. With the advanced technology we now have, I’m sure I’ll be surprised by how the game is reimagined. Since the original was built for the first PlayStation, there will naturally be challenges—like the camera and controls—but I’m eager to see bold and creative solutions to those elements.”

Haha Not only is bold and creatively not what the industry wants, it’s not what most people want.

They want to get scammed and pay twice for a thing they already own.

jznrpg10d ago

I’m sure many would want bold and creative done well, but that’s easier said than done. I like variety so give me a little bit of everything, done well of course.

Nightcrawler8911d ago

Hope they use his vision in the game

Inverno11d ago

Was the SH2 remake even bold? Or was it more or less just a 1 to 1 over the shoulder remake?

Scissorman10d ago

it was not. it greatly expanded the areas and puzzles to the point where it felt like an entirely new game. the enemies and boss fights were given a MASSIVE upgrade. the abstract daddy fight in particular was incredible. and the team added two new endings.

Pedrof11d ago

I wouldn't hold my breath on "bold".
