Banjo Kazooie is fantastic, but no Crash Bandicoot? I refuse to believe any leaks that don't include Crash!
Banjo Kazooie has significance with Nintendo's past, thus beloved by many who grew up with their system and could also be part of a deal for the upcoming Nintendo 64 Classic.

Whereas Crash is just ugly.

I've been looking at this and I think it's real.
Apart from the disappointment of not having Elma or a Custom Robo character it's a fantastic lineup

All of those characters would be great additions. Banjo, Isaac, and Shadow are up there with my most wanted.

Banjo and Isaac made me go YEESSSSSS

But Shadow and Ken? Well I'm not gonna complain now that Ridley finally got in, and some people will be happy with those 2.

I hope real.

Edit: If Isaac is in, can we get ports of Golden Sun or GBA games on Switch?

If true, I'm 99.9% happy (the other .01% being no Dixie).

What a roster it would be. Truly the Smash of dreams.

Also CHORUS KIDS YES

If this is fake it's got to be one of the most elaborate gaming hoaxes ever surely?

The amount of work to rearrange those characters, fill in bits of unseen artwork as well as create new art for the newcomers is insane and could have been easily foiled if there had a been a character reveal inbetween them creating this and leaking it. It's got to be real

As much as I'd love for this to be real (I'd get my Rhythm Heaven rep), it seems like a bit too many unique newcomers when we're this close to the end. You would think at least one of them would've been announced this month.

Such an obvious fake, built from generic character pictures (ken, shadow) and size-mismatched photoshops. What a coincidink it's so blurry.

No way I'm gonna believe any of this for now.

If this is the theory that invalidates box and chair theory and proves music theory, then so be it. It's a damn good fake if it isn't real

Good mixture of classic, modern and fan service.

I hope this is real.

I've wanted Banjo in Smash as much as Ridley and Sonic.

Everyone else will just be icing on the cake. Geno, Isaac, Mach Rider, Ken, Shadow and Chorus kids are all very welcome.

This really will feel like the ultimate Smash if true

On the same hand, a direct in November that blows out the SP and all these characters would be fitting.

The three banners look different. Has character reveals stretched the banner in the past? Theres more room for instance between Pokemon trainer and Villager with the inclusion of Chorus kids.

What are the odds of this being real?

Fairly likely, one potential explanation is that someone mocked it up and took it into their workplace, hence all the Grinch stuff. That's a lot of work to go to, though, and it doesn't explain things like the name, linkedin profile and 4chan post.

yes they specifically stretch to include the characters, that's what makes the leak more real: there isn't a blank version of the banner that'd be stretched enough to add the characters without severe editing

THE CHORUS KIDS ARE REAL??
MY PRAYERS HAVE BEEN HEARD. THANK YOU BLESSED SAKURAISUS.

Edit: If this means a new Rhythm Heaven is also in the works for Switch I will actually die.
