Lastly I wanted to ask if this hoax for 'Smash for Switch' could be added in, you can see info [https://www.neogaf.com/threads/rumor-super-smash-bros-switch-images-leaked.1382673/ here.] This was a super widespread and elaborate rumor in early 2018 about how Smash 4 was gonna be ported to Switch using content from the Smash Run mode or others, which got debunked once Smash Ultimate was properly revealed. The graphics looked convincing enough at the time, so I think it'd be good to go over the inclusion for this one on the Smash Ultimate or 4 section.--[[User:Kirb-Star|Kirb-Star]] ([[User talk:Kirb-Star|talk]]) 00:32, September 20, 2023 (EDT)

:Tower of Smash may have been more notable than most of the other removed entries, and I was involved with the speculation scene on Smashboards where I saw it get discussed a good amount, but I don't think it's that much more notable than stuff like the "Pipeburst leak", the "Riddle leak", or other various forum "leaks" that managed to get a few things right and say things that people wanted to rile people up until they got debunked. This is especially so when it never had any real authority to it (unlike say Loz18's fake leaks), and I also don't think a GameXplain video alone is much in the way of notability. However, if a lot of people push for readding it, maybe I'll concede.
:As for the Rare characters, my issue with it is that it's not so much of a fabricated rumor, but rather people misinterpreted Sakurai's remarks about them on the Melee site and then ran wild with a game of telephone. I don't think it belongs on this page, and any debunking of the misconception that they were planned/considered characters for Melee belongs on other pages (such as [[Banjo]]'s general character article). Again, if a lot of people want to insist otherwise on classifying it as a rumor, maybe I'll concede.
:As for the "Smash 4 Switch port" rumor, I think there could be something there. The entry about it that was on the page prior, however, was a meandering mess that was mostly covering insider people talking vaguely about the next Smash, in ways that could have been just as applicable to what Ultimate actually was, and so it was removed. If something better can be written that focuses only on definitive "Smash 4 is getting a port on Switch" rumors, it will be reconsidered. <span style="font-family:Edwardian Script ITC; font-size:12pt">[[User:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Omega</span>]] [[User talk:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Tyrant</span>]]</span> [[File: TyranitarMS.png ]] 15:37, September 21, 2023 (EDT)
== IGN's "Super Smash Bros. Brawl Xtreme" April Fools Joke ==
On April 1st, 2008, IGN posted a rather graphic April Fools joke involving Brawl potentially having a more M-rated expansion called "Super Smash Bros. Brawl Xtreme" or "Dairanto Smash Bros. Xtreme" which featured excessive blood and what looked like Fatalities a la Mortal Kombat (i.e.: Link decapitating Mario with the Master Sword) as a part of a similar April Fools hoax of a "Wii Want More Channel" that worked similarly to the orange Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection titles and the PS3 and Xbox 360 games with downloadable content. Thank God it wasn't real, but I was practically scarred for life when I saw that joke for the first and only time in my life. And I was horrified when DidYouKnowGaming? covered said April Fools joke in their DYKG? Extra video on Wii games released on September 9th, 2021. I practically screamed at the top of my lungs, which probably scared the people upstairs where I live now, after I learned that the YouTube channel beat on that horse that's been dead over 15 years ago.[[Special:Contributions/71.45.131.226|71.45.131.226]] 18:40, October 1, 2024 (EDT)
