What makes it interesting is that the rumour was posted on Smashboards a month ago, and then on 4chan images of this rumour appeared a day or so ago. Seems real to me.

The Smash Bros 3DS console is only available as an online preorder through EB Games.
Preorders start from Wednesday, doesn't have the game preinstalled.
A little disappointing.

Comment deserves rude response but I'd be the one in trouble ...

Apparently the leaker has already been identified. Apparently it was a NOA employee who took video and images of a copy which was sent/being sent to the ESRB board for rating and review. Not surprisingly, they have been sacked and are now in the process of being sued.

Once again the EB website has issues when something goes up for pre order.

There was a huge amount of traffic. My prayers go out to employees at EB Games who would have been inundated with calls from customers who couldn't get through.

Me too! Have now avoided Reddit as a result. Ninty did a great job hyping this game up with all the teasers only to have some guy from NOA ruin it for most people
I liked to think that by the time I get around to unlocking characters I will have forgotten about at least some of the leaked characters so they when they show up it's at least some kind of surprise.

So many ways to make fun of you, so little time ...
I don't really mind either way with this game, but leaking stuff like this is always pretty low, companies target exact moments to release information to build up hype and maintain a presence in the media.
Some guy leaking it all at once ruins the plans Nintendo may have laid out.
Also, I still remember playing SSB on 64 and not using the internet a whole lot back then I was so excited when a character was unlocked and not knowing who it was, so it'd be nice to have that once again.

that are right.
Sure, but it could be interpreted as a blessing in disguise. Nintendo hasn't exactly been good at marketing over the last few years, so maybe they had it wrong with these slow paced, self-indulgent reveals.
On another note
Dr. Mario, far out. Give me one good reason for why he should be back in the game.
I'd say they've got it pretty right considering the hype I see on Reddit and various game sites after each reveal.
Nintendo need to give people a reason to buy their console considering the slow start it's had, constant reminders of games like SSB is a great way to motivate people to buy.

That's a fair argument, however given they did they exact same thing with Brawl which was on a console that sold enormous amounts early, I have a feeling they were just playing it safe & going with what worked before.
I'll sound like a broken record saying this, but a better way to give people a reason to buy the console would be to have a better roster. Why Charizard? Why not the 6th-gen fire pocket monster?

They mostly cater to Japanese audiences (obviously). Charizard's popularity has been rock solid since the start so it doesn't surprise me that he sticks around. The Japanese consumers were the only reason Jigglypuff got a gig.
The X/Y 'new' roster sucked balls anyways. I can't think of a decent fire Pokemon that isn't the starter equivalent.
I'm realising that I approached this game in entirely the wrong way. I should've waited for an annoucement, made the preorder as soon as possible and then ignored any and all spoilers. The game cover would've spoiled a ton but I would've done what I could.
tl;dr I'm an idiot.
Who would you like in the game that isn't involved? There' so many characters I'm not sure if I can think of anyone else I'd want. Moot point anyway, I think I know who I'll be using mostly now.
