I just can't get over how great this games graphics are. These graphics are breath taking.

I think no one mentioned this yet.

From the fifth volume of Iwata asks (in the last section "Trophies and Stickers"):

This seems pretty much like an (rather) outright admission that Wind Waker Link is in the game

 EDIT: It was brougth to my atention that migth only mean it is present as an assist trophy...Ups...

It doesn't even confirm WW link as an assist trophy, I mean didn't Melee have a load of trophies of characters from all over the nintendo universe.

For instance I bet there will be a number of Animal Crossing trophies in Brawl, but only one [so far] is an assist trophy.

Looks like the leaker videos are probably fake. Evidence time!

First, let's look at the original leaker video. Remember how the character menu had no organization? Odd isn't it? Especially odd since the characters were organized by franchise in the official manual.

That's just strike one though. He released a 3rd video today, and a couple things in it just don't match up. You can watch the video here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QlOAWgGI7bo&eurl=http://brawlcentral.com/

They look almost identical don't they? Almost... unfortunately for some reason the Leaker's video is missing the green and white outline on the highlighted "Vault" menu. Odd says I! perhaps left off because the overlap would be difficult to make in Photoshop over a short time while scrolling through the menus? Strike 2.

This IMO though is the most damning piece of evidence.

Wow, so much wrong with this. First of all, coincidence that the menu started out at the EXACT same ratios as it did in the website version? Second, why wasn't there a stage selection menu between the My Music button and this? There would have to be to navigate stage music.

That's strike 3, and our leaker is BS. His videos could all have easily been created in a simple flash program with the help of some solid photoshop skills. The lack of gameplay and the errors in his creations add up to him most likely being fake. We do know the official starting roster, but we have yet to see the real character screen.

wow, good call Naz. That is very interesting. If he really wanted to show he had it, he should you know, show some gameplay. Record a run through classic mode or something.

Nice call Naz, he always did seem suspicious...he would never show a video of more than a few seconds or any real gameplay...screamed of fake, even though it looked so real.

Also, Sakurai is talking about Wind Waker Link's trophy, as in, just a collectable trophy. That's all he is. He was in a pic or video some time ago...and now he's just talking about how he made the trophy...by taking the model directly from the GC game.

Damn, it's about time for some REAL leaks...come on Smashers!

Wow, I totally knew those videos were fake after seeing the first one.
