Fake Leaks Has Us Excited for Smash Bros. On Switch 2

The announcement of the Nintendo Switch 2 has been made, leading to rumors circulating online. Predictably, there are already supposed “leaks” suggesting a fresh Super Smash Bros. game for the console. Although it’s plausible that another installment in this iconic series could happen, the timing of these leaks makes them seem rather far-fetched.

A post initially shared on 4chan has surfaced in the Gaming Leaks subreddit, with user uniquecartridge expressing skepticism. Given that the content revolves around a well-loved gaming franchise, fans eagerly await to discover which parts of this information prove accurate. Even if it turns out to be fabricated, as seems quite likely, drawing comparisons can still provide amusement.

It appears that the creators of this tale intend for viewers to believe that Super Smash Bros. 2 on Switch will retain all characters from Smash Ultimate. Initially, Masahiro Sakurai, the game director, attempted to propose a fresh start but Nintendo and Bandai Namco insisted on maintaining the characters. Consequently, there may be fewer stages in the game as they focus on adding new ones instead.

In terms of credibility, some aspects of the leak seem plausible. For instance, there’s speculation about revamped character designs, particularly for Ganondorf who might take on his Tears of the Kingdom look. Similarly, Donkey Kong could undergo a redesign due to his upcoming role in the latest Mario Kart game. Historically, such design changes are common in newer Smash Bros. installments, making this development relatively easy to accept.

Regardless if the contents of this leak prove untrue, speculating about a potential Smash Bros. sequel for Nintendo Switch ignites a spark of excitement. Merely contemplating the possibilities of upcoming character announcements and trailers fuels our imagination with endless opportunities. It’s challenging to imagine how they can surpass the awe-inspiring trailers we’ve witnessed for characters like Sephiroth or Simon Belmont, but Sakurai always manages to outdo himself.

I can’t wait to find out how a fresh Smash Bros. game will look on the upcoming Switch 2 console. In the meantime, take a look at all the information we have gathered about the Switch 2 and the games we hope will be available at launch.
