RUMOR based on job posting: Smash Bros. [6?] launching in 2015, Namco hiring?

They list the "exact" development team size, title name, etc... When has a Nintendo game been this detailed in a job description ever?
Where was this ever said or confirmed? I thought the game only had about 100 full-time employees working on it.

I legitimately can't tell if this is a joke.
What?
The google translation is spot-on. Namco Bandai are looking for a programer that will join a team of 120 people, with plans to increase the staff to 200. They are explicitly talking about Smash Brothers 6 for 3DS and WiiU which they plan to release in 2015.
Has anybody used the site before? It looks like a Japanese "monster.com" or something; they mention their relationship with big companies and "tenshoku" means "changing jobs". The simplest answer might be that somebody made a fake job posting to troll 2chan, like the guy who tried to erase Ubi's copyright for Watchdogs.
Other than that, they are either using the wrong number and the game has been pushed to 2015 OR there is a follow-up to Smash4 (WiiU) and Smash5 (3DS) in the works, but why not use the phrasing "Smash 6 and 7" when they seem to differentiate between the WiiU/3DS version of the upcoming game.

I find it hard to believe Nintendo have ever had that many people on a single project.
incoming 100 posts telling me I'm wrong.

You mean it was just filled.
^ Yeah, but he might be talking about 700 people when you include: PR, marketing, translation into dozens of languages, "thank you" to family members and productions babies, etc.
the quote from the job listing was talking about the Namco staff that is designing and programming the game right now.
edit: beaten.

They already filled the position or the page is gone.
Gaf complain about bad journalism. Gaf feeds bad journalism.
Sakurai isn't magic lol.
Yeah, suddenly.
Woah I'm loving the changed avatar!
That's most likely what it is. Not really a port but an arcade Smash Bros like how Namco makes Mario Kart Arcade GP. It was probably part of their deal with Nintendo.

Hm, I always thought it was Smash 6 because the 3DS and Wii U games counted as two games (despite not succeeding each other).
Was this rumour debunked or could we expect something like this at the end of today's 33 minute Direct?

NEEDLESS BUMP CONFIRMED AS FINAL DLC CHARACTER!
I...don't think this post was worth bumping this thread, especially when the Direct is literally in 15 minutes and we'll find out soon.

"Smash 6" is presumably the ultimate version of Smash 3D/U for NX, which I believe were known as Smash 4 and 5 internally respectively, and since Nintendo still isn't talking about NX I don't expect anything on this to surface until then.

Oh crumbs, sorry! Was just curious if there was anything new on this, I'd love to know what the future of Smash is given Sakurai can't keep making new games from scratch with the teams involved.

Aye, this is what I'm hoping for. Smash makes sense as a game to do cross-gen with, as an upgraded version, given how feature-rich it already is.
As much as I'd love to see Splatoon make it to NX with feature and update parity, it'll probably be the sequel that'll make it. But Smash seems like a good bet given the resources and time involved in making a wholly new game.
