Nintendo Takes Down Leaked Smash Bros Videos

Mere hours after the Youtube account Izat True leaked several video clips showing raw Super Smash Bros footage for the 3DS and revealing new characters it seems that Nintendo has stepped in and taken down the videos. This is the first time Nintendo has stepped in to remove alleged Smash Bros. leaks reinforcing the the argument that these leaks were legitimate.

Well their is everyone's proof that the leak was legit.

randomass1713524d ago

Yup. Duck Hunt Dog is real lol. I can live with that. :P

Summons753524d ago (Edited 3524d ago )

or they don't want idiots ruining the game they have worked hard on with all these horribly fake leaks because they have some pride in their work...

If I were working on something so hard and someone put out something so painfully fake then I'd have it taken down too.

@randomass
Why do they need to make a big production of removing it when anyone with intelligence and tell it's fake.

randomass1713524d ago

I don't think so. Why would they bother removing this so quickly and quietly if it wasn't real?

ChickeyCantor3524d ago

In what way was it fake? There was even in game footage.

SpiralTear3524d ago

I'm actually surprised that it took them this long to take them down.

Big_Game_Hunters3524d ago

So dark pit and doctor Mario are really in but ice-climbers are cut?
Dark pit is literally just a re-color, why not Hades instead.. we need more villains.
Dorf continues to be a clone while Sakurai panders to himself in the new smash lol.
w/e i'm happy shulk is in.
The leaker said their were 3 more characters he didn't show, one from DK one from pokemon and one from a different series.
hopefully the DK is K.rool and not dixie.

NintySonySoft3524d ago

If it is K. Rool Drinks on me all night!

--Onilink--3524d ago

well, we havent actually seen anything about dark pit, he might a different moveset/weapons.. i doubt it, but who knows.

As for Dr Mario, he was similar to toon link in the sense that some moves had different properties. We can also assume he will have a different final smash and a special move to replace the FLUDD. So he can be less clonish.

Hopefully Lucas, Wolf and Ice Climbers are not out though. If this roster is the same as previous games, there is at least 1 character missing, because its only after you unlock everyone that the roster distribution is grouped a bit more into franchises

wonderfulmonkeyman3524d ago

Rosalina is the new Ice Climbers, dude.
A partner that can be re-summoned if it dies and can be controlled from any distance away, and an up B special that isn't dependent on your partner being alive to work.
You've got all the advantages of double-teaming people that the Climbers had, plus benefits.
You'll be satisfied with her, I can promise you that.

deafdani3524d ago

As soon as I saw Rosalina & Luma in that reveal trailer, I knew they would control somehow like the Ice Climbers, and that actually made me fear the Ice Climbers would be replaced... just like Lucario replaced Mewtwo.

I really like Rosalina & Luma, but I hope the Ice Climbers return as well. I don't want them to go away! :(

ZeekQuattro3524d ago

Its Cranky Kong!!! Sorry couldn't resist. lol I hope its K. Rool as well. I mean Kremlings do appear as stage hazards in Smash Run so its possible

Big_Game_Hunters3524d ago

i would want cranky over Dixie.

All i know if Duck hunt dog is real he will win Greatest Taunt ever in SSB history... lol that Laugh he does lmfao xD funny to ko someone and see him do that along with the sound it makes lol xDD
Here it is https://www.youtube.com/wat... lol

Kalebninja3524d ago

Ok the only character I have any hope of now is chibi robo ;-; rip wonder red and ghirajhim. I'm gnna cry cause I feel its bayonneta. Also screw sakurai keeping the same ganon......actually ganon is what makes me think its fake I mean while Zelda and link are noticably different he looks exactly the same and fights exactly the same... Maybe its some really good brawlvault mods?

Metallox3524d ago

Wonder Red was confirmed as a trophy long time ago.

Kalebninja3523d ago

What does that have to do with what I said? I was just saying the only other 2 characters I wanted other than chibi-robo it had nothing to do with when they were de-confirmed...

Metallox3523d ago

"rip wonder red". By guess and according to the context of your whole comment, I thought that you felt bad by the absence of Wonder Red, but he's available as a trophy. I just said as a clarification.

Looking Ahead: The Lingering Questions About the Next Mario Kart

VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "10 years. It’s been almost 10 years since the last mainline release in the Mario Kart series. Mario Kart 8 came out for the Wii U in 2014 and became the best-selling game for the system by a sizeable margin, and later pulled the same magic trick on the Nintendo Switch under the stage name Deluxe. All in all, it's sold nearly 70 million copies over the last decade and is still selling like hot cakes to this day, so it’s no wonder Nintendo has been in no rush to replace it. However, with rumors of a new system being just around the corner, and reports a few years back that a new Mario Kart is indeed under way, it seems the era of 8 might very well be drawing to a close. It’s an exciting prospect to be sure, but after two Nintendo systems with Mario Kart 8 at their heart, a lot of questions remain about how Nintendo will choose to follow it up."

I hope they just keep building on Mario Kart 8; Add a track-creation tool, and probably open it up to more Nintendo IPs with new tracks and characters, so Metroid, Punch Out, Starfox, Animal Crossing, etc etc.

gold_drake6d ago

there wont be a new one until the switch 2 comes out.

nintendo needs their bangers early on
