The Super Smash Bros. message boards came alive yesterday when, yet again, another Brawl related story hit it big. It is reported that a copy of Nintendo’s much anticipate Wii title, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, was leaked and obtained by a fan of the game yesterday. It wasn’t long before pictures and rumors started to fly. Though it was the Japanese version of the game, fans were quick to translate the text and spread it all around the Internet in a matter of hours. Pictures included a roster of 35 characters, including Star Fox’s Wolf, and Zelda: Wind Waker’s cell shaded version of Link. Other pictures included gameplay shots of the aforementioned characters, as well as other characters already confirmed by Nintendo, in action. Nintendo has yet to comment on these screen shots or the possibility that this is definitely a leak of the final version of the game.
