while im leaning towards team fake, i think alot of people ought to go and read the ESRB leak thread back before that was confirmed.
so much crow

Pretty sure he just meant he wishes it was real. He regrets being team fake, hence "with regret, I am now on TeamFake."

Yeah, Tom is just saying he wishes the images were real, but he doesn't believe they are.
SSB for 3DS had a mode called Smash Run where every player runs through a massive labyrinth. That image is portraying a split-screen local version of Smash Run (since it was wireless-only on 3DS).

Gotta bring back the classic.
Saddly for bugs bunny, we're in rabbit season. RIP.

The thing is there are some people in this thread who have known inside info in the past who seem pretty confident that this is fake. That leads me to believe there's some inside info making the rounds (and Tom Phillips usually has the same info that's making the rounds around here) which contradicts this leak.
So that would be either Smash not being at E3 (or coming any time soon) or Smash Switch being completely new, different stages, different art style, something obvious which differentiates it from these screenshots.
Too many inconsistencies in this screenshot in particular:
-Incorrect font.
-No shadow from Yoshi on the platform.
-The egg should be leaving a rainbow trail.
-Targets aren't Smash 4 targets, but rather Melee.
-Portion of the stage doesn't match up to the original Melee stage. Particularly, the area to the right of the log bridge.
And more on the font:
They've been consistent about using the same font for the timer and health percentage since Melee. The health percentage is the typical font in this image:
If these are real, Nintendo's getting sloppy.
I highly doubt that though.
I'm calling fake. Well done... But still fake.

Yea these look fake to me since the characters looks like upscaled 3DS models, due to their textures.
Like Luigi from the bottom right looks like he has the same ambient occulsion textures and purplish pants from the 3DS version, where as the smash wii u version has a darker blue color and the denim has polygons.

Yup and it's not an english version either because that one uses "P1" "P2" etc. instead of "1P" like on the japanese screenshots.
So it is using the English name of Bowser Jr. with the Japanese convention of player naming. Dubious.
An example of japanese gameplay using "Koopa Jr." and "1P" conventions
And here is the english version using "Bower Jr." and "P1"
If I wanted to be overly analytical, I'd point out two things with this image:
One, the shadows underneath toon link don't quite match up. The shadow of the top right screen is further to the right than it is on the bottom left screen.
Secondly, and this one really stands out more than anything, but shouldn't there be a (2P ->) symbol on the right side of the bottom left screen? Usually in smash if something is just off screen there is something to show this. Either a simply icon marker with an arrow, or in some cases a full circle with a fully animated small model of the character that is just off screen.
The font here is completely wrong. It would be using the same ones used through the entire game for both UI counter and clock.
OP, do you copy?

Good fakes, and certainly had my hopes up for a while... but very fake.
I would love literally everything I'm seeing in the screenshots, though.

On new subject if we're going to get the reveal at E3, who do y'all think would announce on that day?
Inklings or Bomberman

Inklings and Spring Man.
And Ridley.
On a side note, no Smash leak will ever get my hopes up as much only to make them come crashing down as the Shovel Knight screens that popped up a while back alongside a Runbow stage. Cruel and unusual teasing.

Inklings
Spring Man/Ribbon Girl
Bomberman
Ice Climbers and/or Wolf
Release March next year
I also feels there's a solid chance at another sidescroller levels mode like Adventure/Subspace.

I completely forgot about the rainbow trail for Yoshi's Egg Toss. Nice catch!
Another point for #TeamFake.

Not likely, they still refer to him as Koopa Jr. in Japan for other games (MK8D included). Plus there's the other inconsistencies mentioned

They're not going to call him Bowser Jr in Japan. That isn't his name and has never been his name and isn't Bowser's name, so the Jr wouldn't make sense at all.
Decidueye pls

Reasons I think this is real
- The stages don't re-use assets from the 3DS, there's tons of screenshots of various stages and areas and they're all redone and look great. That's a ton of work for a fake, not that it's impossible... but that PM stage is really convincing.
- I expect Smash 4 Switch to be announced at E3, so the timing is fine
Reasons I think this is fake
- The inconsistencies in localization between Jr's name and and 1P/P1 thing is weird and hard to explain away
- Those are just up-rez'd 3DS models and not Wii U models which makes no sense at all. There would be no reason for them to ever use the 3DS models. Even in handheld mode, the Wii U models have LOD models, they could just use those (or just make more based on the Wii U models if they need to go even more optimized). I can't think of any reason at all that this would be the case where the 3DS models would be used.
- Mario's name is centered on the health bar. Could be a style change for the port... but I doubt it.
- There's just nothing "new" here. No new characters. No new stages. Not even new Smash Run enemies, items, powers, or anything. Nothing that would require doing more than redoing already existing maps from the 3DS version. Yoshi's target test isn't even new, it's just the Melee stage.
- The font on Yoshi's target stage is inconsistent with the Smash font.
I don't think this is real, but those stages are really hard to argue against.

That first image with Mario looks off. Mario seems too close to the camera or his character model doesn't look right. I can't really describe what I feel, but it just isn't quite right.
At the initial reveal, if it's revealed at E3? All I'd expect for sure is Inkling, and maybe Ice Climbers. If there are more characters to be revealed, though? Well...
After Inkling and Ice Climbers, Chorus Kids, Decidueye, Elma, Spring Man, Wolf, and Snake make up my pool of expected characters.

This is pretty clearly fake.
You gotta admire how much work people put into these fake Smash leaks, though. Even with the huge pile of inconsistencies, someone clearly put a decent amount of work into this.

Wait there was a Palutena fake leak?

To be honest, I wouldn't entirely be surprised if Smash 4 Switch turns out to not actually exist.
I mean, back in 2015, we all chanted how Wolf was a "complete shoo-in" for DLC and how he'd obviously come back. And look how that turned out.

I honestly dont see how they can port it without it. The competitive scene alone will ensure they bring that adapter along as well.
GameExplain is claiming it was confirmed fake, anyone know the source behind this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NSDNqGQeub8

Are you thinking of the Palutena one?

Yep. We got the superior Cloud and Corrin.
No Shantae though. Made me sad.
Yeah sorry the Palutena one!

I could see Decidueye not being a standalone fighter, but rather part of "Alola Pokemon Trainer" now that we don't have the CPU issues that got Ice Climbers and transformation characters cut.
Maybe add a Rabbid. I don't see snake returning, since his inclusion had to do with Sakurai and Kojima's friendship.
Inkling's costume breakdown should be: 3x Inkling Girl, 3x Inkling Boy, Callie, Marie

Why is everyone always so obsessed with Chorus Kids? I can come up with a dozen better representatives of Rhythm Heaven easily.

Yes and they're right, can't disclose but it is indeed 100% fake.
