Update: As we all expected these are fake and were designed by YouTuber TheBitBlock.
Rumours have been swirling for quite some time that a port of Super Smash Bros Wii U is heading to the Nintendo Switch thanks to various Nintendo insiders. Images of the game have reportedly popped up on popular online message board 4Chan. It isn’t the most reliable source as anyone can post to the site but there have been leaks before that have originated on the site. I guess we shall have to wait until next month to see if the images that have been posted are legitimate, but for now mark them as rumour. Enjoy!
Thanks to MasterPikachu6 and Rickard for the tip!
I would love smah run to be on the switch version. I won’t hold my breath though. 🤔🤔
Keep holding your breath… forever :)
PUPPY! *nuzzle*
Hi honey! Have you been fed yet?
Yeah, I’d hold my breath too, texture hacking has been possible on the WiiU so this could just be that or photoshop
Why do you want this to happen?
Yea smash run was way better then that stupid board game crap. I actually enjoyed playing smash run to get trophies and equipment.
Smash Run was SO great. I don’t know why they chose an inferior version for the Wii U.
Multiplayer smash run on console wasn’t really viable. Think about trying to find a lobby and see if everyone stays in it for the whole match. Nintendo just didn’t have the servers for it.
Hello horde man. I see your emblem of the horde. So the orcs want to play with the Switch?
Conspiracy Theory:
This is why Nintendo went with such a basic title name for the game… (it would be easier to rename/rebrand if they wanted to port it.)
That would be amazing if these are real!
I’ll still keep my guard up though, it could be another well done photoshop edit.
It’s 4chan, so would be too surprising if it were fake.
*WOULDN’T
Looks like nothing more than what a 4Chan newfag would make. We’ve been through this road many times.
Pass.
This images are from Ps4…..Not switch…
PS4? That’s news to me, I didn’t know Sony decided to quit the console market and work with Nintendo on rebranding the Switch as the PS4. :D
They would rebrand the PS4. Get it right. 😝
That is obviously not PlayStation All-Stars you silly goose.
That’s actually quite funny I actually lol’d
Just like this….

If this is real ( probs not ) I will lose my sanity
It would be worth it in my opinion.
There isn’t sanity in you King DeDeDe.
}{ After Rayman, I wouldn’t put too much stock in this… }{
I think if Mister Sakurai will put new characters he will put some of Brawl

I like Megamans reaction in this picture. “We got THIS over Simon Belmont?!”
The character’s models doesn’t look with the same quality as the Wii U ‘s, it looks fake to me, but, it would be a perfect addition to my switch library
That’s what I think. I think it’s fake.
Especially those Smash Run ones, they seem pretty smudgy if I’m being honest.
Wow, this is a funny joke.
These are 3DS screenshots without the lines and on a higher res. Possibly edited in Wii U stages and models. Fake.
I’m just spitballing here, but what if in handheld mode they use 3DS models, while in dock they use much higher quality ones? Look at the top left picture. It looks completely different from the 3DS version of the stage, in a good way. The level of detail in the shading, colors, and textures seems too good for an amateur. Those Smash Run pictures are suspicious, though…im 50/50 on this being true.
I’m gonna beat your ass.
The stages from the 3DS looks real to me. I can tell.
They’re 3DS Models that are photoshopped.
Fake. No one plays Bowser jr.
Im actually a good Bowser JR player. Nlt my main, but definitely one of my better ones.
if they release a smash deluxe i feel sorry for all those shills who paid $150 on all the dlc
No one needs to apologize, having an amazing game for 3 years isn’t anything we should be sorry about.
||It is still better than your Xbot valleys with hair extensions…||
suck
Valleys with hair extensions? What exactly are you referring to haha? That’s one of the oddest things I’ve read.
||Her filthy smelly hairy Xbot armpits…||
Pinwheel is a female? I always assumed she was a guy. Whoops.
Well, I can tell these images might be real to me because I can tell. Besides E-3 is almost here.
You just made me realize that I did paid about $150 in Super Smash Bros for Wii U/3DS.
And I don’t know how to feel about it.
Well but people can sell their WiiU for getting a Switch with low cost.
I’m not convinced these images are real. I mean… they’re of everything we want – Smash Run with other players, the old Target Smash… It also seems strange how they would make Target Smash look exactly like Melee’s, like the same background and design. The only thing that would make it more fake would be Smash Tour online.
Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle, I can believe that.
But these images look fake to me.
Smash Run is a dead giveaway on the fakeness as the Wii U version does not have it so if it was a Wii U port it would have the the Smash Tour that no one uses except on one or two occasion, mostly once.
Well we have to find out soon in June.
Is it not possible SSB4 Switch gets all or at least most of the content from both versions together?
Besides, I’ll take Smash Run over the unfun clusterfuck that it Smash Tour any day.
They look convincing. I have always thought that the switch port should have elements of Wii U and 3DS versions, especially Smash Run and stages.
I believe nothing until it comes from High Command’s mouthpiece.
Well I can tell this image is real. These modes come from the 3DS Version.
These images looked terribly shopped… look at the one Yoshi is attacking in, that one just screams fake to me…
It looks real to me.
Yeah, I’d have to agree with you; Yoshi’s egg has different shading compared to Yoshi himself, Yoshi lacks a visible shadow where, if you look closely, the target on the top right platform has a bit of a shadow sticking out. Unless I have my angles wrong, or Yoshi’s eggs are actually just sprites, I don’t think the Target Stage pic looks real in the slightest.
On the contrary, I can’t seem to find much that screams fake in the 4-player Smash Run pic (possibly other than the splitscreen part); nothing particularly seems wrong with that picture; however, you can see Toon Link on Ness’ screen, while Ness isn’t even partially shown on Toon Link’s screen. This could be a difference in angles, or, more plausibly, laziness on the photoshopper’s part.
All in all, most of it doesn’t seem genuine, though there’s still a bit of hope that this whole rumor turns out to be true. Probably not.
UPDATE: After a bit of research (such as looking through mods for Sm4sh Wii U), The Paper Mario Stage is actually starting to appear more genuine to me; there’s a lot more texture detail – and since I haven’t found a mod with this particular stage with these sorts of textures, this could be an EXTREMELY well-done photoshop or the real thing.
I also looked up the original 4chan page; I took a look at the comparison between the Paper Mario Stage above and its 3DS counterpart on Citra (not 1080p, unfortunately), and even if the stage were directly ported to the Wii U as a mod, it wouldn’t have the level of detail the leaked image showed right off the bat.
Still, I wouldn’t go all in just yet; that’s only one picture, and it could still be photoshopped for all we know.
Looks real to me if I have to recall.

Let’s try that again.
I don’t know if this is real. I don’t really know.
You really think it’s fake?
One part of me says yes it’s fake.
The other part thinks this is Smash 5 for Switch and 3DS.
Looks fake.
if true, I hope there’s a proper adventure mode. or just have smash run instead of the wiiu one.
Upon closer inspection of character models, they all look waaaay too close to the 3DS models for me to call it real. So yeah, it’s a nicely made fake.
Remember when the entire roster legitimately for real leaked on 4chan and everyone was trying to say some dumb shit like “Shulk is just photoshopped little mac”
*gets on knees,puts hands together,looks at sky* please be real, please be real 🙏

I already found a new character in the roster for Smash Switch

Did you think this is real?
What if this smash is in real Smash 5 for 3DS and Switch?
To my eye, the shading looks quite a bit better than the Wii U version. Considering the Wii U was able to run that at 1080p60, they should be able to just use shaders that are twice(ish) as complex. Figure in TV mode, it would be outputting the same framerate and resolution that Smash for Wii U did but it’ll have roughly 2-2.5x as much shader performance and in handheld mode, it’ll be running at 44% of that resolution but with about as much shader performance as the Wii U.
If this is real, I hope they add a story mode.
The only reason i feel that this is real is the brand spanking new Target Practice map and those Waddle Dee and Bronto Burt models.
