Saw this on Reddit, not sure where it came from but it looks real enough.

I'm calling fake, first of all they seem like very quick and simple photoshops and secondly the third example has this going on:

Look at the top left.

 

[8bit]

Kind of hope a new flying mechanic isn't a thing, and it's just how Mario gets between locations if this has any basis in truth.

 

[Sesuadra]

final confirmation that micro sd cards are used for storage?

again from bol.com

 

[JustenP88]

Mario Kart, Zelda and a new "mainline or whatever" 3D Mario would be pretty crazy for launch. Anything beyond that is icing on the cake as far as I'm concerned.

Those launching alongside the rumored Gamecube VC titles would have me busy for a while.

EDIT: for fuck's sake, I forgot about Spla2n.

 

[ZombAid82]

Nintendo Switch |OT| If Karen shares, would you care?

 

[Dark Cloud]

So, we'll all agree the 4chan leak is real?

How can you not be happy with a launch lineup like that?

We could have a new Wii Sports in 1 2 Switch. The 3D Mario game has a great name. You have a few new IPs. There are third party games and probably the greatest launch lineup ever if Mario, BotW, Splatoon 2 and Mario Kart are at launch.

 

[The_Intruder]

You really think Capcom is going to release SF4 again while trying to push SFV? Nah.

Well capcom love doing this kind of thing, remember resident evil 4. If they don't care about the system and want just money I can see them clearly do that.

 

[RM8]

SFV is currently my most played game by far, and it saddens me that it'll never have a handheld version But really, a competent port of SF2 with online play would be great too. If it was a port of the previous anniversary edition where you could choose any "version" of any character, that'd be seriously awesome.

The flying cap in Mario 64 was awesome !

I've said previously that I bet the new Mario game has him adventuring around the world and that makes the backbone for the worlds we play on. Would make sense since we see a Mexican inspired level.

It would be the greatest Nintendo launch line-up.

The last leak if it's real... boy... I need s launch Switch...

Mario won't come at launch. I believe the leak but there's noooo way in hell that they put out both at launch.

 

[kiri]

Rabbids won't be launch, MH would like be Japan only for a while, and wouldnyou really want the wasting a demo slot on Skyrim?

The leak, if real, is just what's going to be playable at the hands-on events. If real, there's still lots more that can be in the presentation

True true, I dunno...just those games, other than the well-known titles don't seem, compelling? I guess I'll know in about 16 hours! Any idea if they are indies/retail?

Invite only this weekend. Press tomorrow.

Och, oh well. I bothered people on Twitter to be their +1 but had no joy. I'm sure it'll go on tour before March. At least one event...

Why would we agree that it's real? Has anything been shown to confirm?

 

[Boss Doggie]

A likely fake Reddit leak, all games mentioned are in the poll above. I wouldn't take much notice of it.

Ah the /v/ leak.

why are people believing anything from 4chan? the only time leaks become real there is when another site supports it (usually a forum), or if it includes genuine videos (like the one from Pokemon sun and moon)

 

[Oersted]

I'm gonna have to call it a fake. Come on, why (in the world) would they care to show off a Street Fighter 2 version or Disgaea 5? No. Just no. I can't believe we're honestly discussing this.

What makes me sceptic is that it doesn't feature the Rabbids.

Ubi is always well represented at these events and such a title missing looks off.

 

[Dystify]

final confirmation that micro sd cards are used?


again from bol.com

I'd rather say those are for Switch games. Pretty sure Switch uses Micro SD for storage. It even says "Game Card Cases" on the packaging.

 

[Shikamaru Ninja]

You really think Capcom is going to release SF4 again while trying to push SFV? Nah.

None of it makes sense. I'm just saying it makes more sense than SF2 redone in HD. Again?

 

[Sesuadra]

it says "micro sd" and "game cards" on the packaging tho.

and of course I meant for storage.

 

[Diprosalic]

Who said anything about HD?

 

[Sandfox]

Zelda, Mario, Splatoon 2, minigame complication, and Mario Kart would be pretty strong lineup for first party launch (window) titles.

 

[Jonneh3003]

Might just go ahead and order one of these:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B013UDL5HU/

Pretty good price for 128gb

 

[Sesuadra]

Might just go ahead and adore one of these:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B013UDL5HU/

Pretty good price for 128gb

I'll take the risk and buy the 200gb version of that card and test it.

128GB Micro Sd cards have gone for a low of £25 on Amazon. Wait. You are paying a time premium for no reason.

 

[joffocakes]

It'd be nice to finally get an Arcade-perfect version of Super Street Fighter II Turbo on console. I expect something like that this year for the series' 30th Anniversary. A new version with the same look but new bells and whistles sounds to good to be true, though.

 

[FelipeMGM]

I dont think the ''Has-Been Heroes'' trademark proves the 4chan leak real. That trademark is old at this point. And It seems to me that this dude saw the trademark and then made the post based on that.

He mentions Shadwen and Nine Parchments as the two projects Frozenbyte worked on, but doesnt mention Trine? Which is the bigget thing they ever done!

Guess where else Shadwen and Nine Parchments are mentioned but Trine is not? EXACTLY, in the trademark site he found the ''Has-Been Heroes'' which was trademarked 6 months ago

I think he just using this old trademark to make his leak sound real

EDIT: Just an update on my post, since I just realized Nine Parchments is not even out yet lol. Why the hell mention a game that is not even out as an example of games they've worked on

At this point Im 99% sure he did exactly what I said

 

[KratosEnergyDrink]

You really think Capcom is going to release SF4 again while trying to push SFV? Nah.

I think SF5 was not as successful as Capcom hoped. So they are looking at alternatives. They have an exclusive contract with Sony for SF5, but not for SF4, and a new SF6 game is years away.

I don't think the "leak" is true or even believable but SF4 for Switch is something a desperate company like Capcom could consider.

 

[oti]

I think the leak is real. It talks about the playable demos at some European event. Nothing on the list is outlandish and all makes sense.

Splatoon being a sequel, Zelda being a launch game, a minigame collection, Capcom celebrating SF Anniversary with the most-liked game of the series, Bomberman using both Joy-Con for easy multilayer, the Switch Sports game, Mario Kart being a port with additional content, Disgaea showing the potential for that kind of game on Switch etc. It all checks out for the reasons I've laid out in several posts throughout this thread.

Only surprise to me is not seeing Mario X Rabbits on the list.

 

[malikhaing_bayag]

Can any one link the 4chan leak?


Edit: Never mind found it. Sorry.

 

[cw_sasuke]

Super Mario Odyssey ...lol.

Might just go ahead and adore one of these:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B013UDL5HU/

Price is okay....i bought me a 256gb micro sd for 50€ during the Holidays. But outside of deals thats a solid price.

 

[Jonneh3003]

128GB Micro Sd cards have gone for a low of about £22 on Amazon. Wait. You are paying a time premium for no reason.

Cool I'll hold off for a while then.

 

[Earthpainting]

Team Real just for Bomberman, I want to believe

Same. The blissful period between now and the inevitable reveal that it's fake will be Bomberman's only moment in the spotlight this year. Can the Switch event please be delayed by another month or two?

That's a good point.

I'm officially on #teamfake

This is pretty convincing.

The flying cap in Mario 64 was awesome !

I honestly hope the new mario is nothing like mario 64 at all >_>. All the other 3d mario games have surpassed it, yes even sunshine.
I want Mario 3D World 2

Exactly my thoughts as well, there's no need to pay any attention to it.

 

[RM8]

I don't think it's real, I'm only daydreaming about Street Fighter on Switch.

I could really go for a sandwich right now...

Can't you let me fucking dream about a complete edition of Disgaea 5

Loving these accessory leaks ... can't wait to buy so much stuff that I won't ever end up needing

This is smash bros. All over again where people analysed the pixels and deemed it to be fake. I have an excellent nose for leaks and i studied it and thought about it and i'm convinced.

Y'all gon eat some crow.

Yep, they probably found an old trademark many forgot about and brought it back up to give the leak some "legitimacy."

 

[Dark Cloud]

Hmm 😒

 

[georly]

You've never worked retail i take it? Of course someone photoshopped these. It's that person's job. Retail mockups aren't perfect but they help retailers to get preorders or make planograms. Expect these to show up on amazon/etc within 48 hours is my guess.

Like, what's more likely? Someone spents hours upon hours to photoshop these for fun (these, not game leaks or anything, but zelda stickers for a switch), or that these are mockups that leaked ahead of preorders going live tomorrow?

 

[Possumowner]

Wait..Why do we believe the 4chan leak is real..Did I miss something?

 

[El Topo]

It should be pointed out that the trademark wasn't publicly available (via the internet) six months ago, from what little I can tell.
The problem in principle is that the "leaker" is using publicly available trademark information, so by itself Has-Been-Heroes does not make the list legitimate.
