Doesn't seem "real" to me, but Geno was the second character I most wanted in Smash Brothers.

Seriously, I doubt this is even real, it's definitely a joke.


Think about it. Why would Nintendo make hints THAT easy? And seriously? Geno? Mega Man? All mentioned in one sentence? Sounds like a fan saying these things.

Isn't this just an account some random person set up? People aren't even attempting to find any credibility behind it.

Uh, yeah Nintendo would make the game without Sakurai. Infact, they almost made Brawl without him. He signed on only after the game was announced. His involvement is not critical.

...? I remember reading somewhere that Nintendo begged Sakurai to do Brawl because they think they can't do it without him.

"Sakurai              Absolutely. (laughs) You can imagine my surprise when I was told by the others at the E3 show site that you made the announcement out of the blue."

As you can see they are discussing howhe was brought on-board after the announcement, and Nintendo already had somewhat of a plan for what they would do with the game. Obviously Nintendo prefered having him involved, but they were prepared to go forward regardless.

No. Its just for fun and messing with all the fans. There will be no new Smash Bros. until next generation.

Oh, okay. (laughs)

They better include mallow if they're gonna put geno in it :p
