According to the rumor, Wii U's Super Smash Bros. will focus on modern characters while ''Super Smash Bros. Memories'' would star retro characters, such as Donkey Kong Jr., Ridley, Pac-Man, Takamaru, Mach Rider, "Dig-Dug", and Stanley the Bug Man. The source also claimed that Nintendo would put the game on store shelves in the fourth quarter of 2013, around December. | According to the rumor, Wii U's Super Smash Bros. will focus on modern characters while ''Super Smash Bros.

==="Namco worker" rumor=== | |||
Another rumor popped up on [http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/633202-super-smash-bros-wii-u/64901335 ''Gamefaqs''] by a user named Halibuton, claiming that he worked for Namco and had some information told to him by his coworkers. | |||
He reported that there would be Nintendo Direct on Brawl's Japanese anniversary (January 31) and said it would be centered around SSB4, though likely more of a series retrospective with minor new info than a full-blown reveal trailer. He also said that he knew a bit about the early roster and claimed to know a few newcomers: [[Little Mac]] and [[wikipedia:Takamaru|Takamaru]] (chosen as recent-popularity classics and an "East vs. West" concept supposedly due to previous games being too Japan-only-series-centric) as well as [[King K. Rool]] and [[Ridley]] (chosen due to popular demand and having movesets based on more recent games). Other claimed, less-finalized newcomers are Shulk from [[wikipedia:Xenoblade|Xenoblade]], Dillon from [[wikipedia:Dillon's Rolling Western|Dillon's Rolling Western]], [[zeldawiki:Ghirahim|Ghirahim]] from the [[The Legend of Zelda (series)|Legend of Zelda series]], a "Debu" from a heavily-rumoured [[Yoshi (universe)|Yoshi game]] for the Wii U (supposedly a partner of Yoshi, with "Debu" possibly being just a nickname or placeholder), and a [[wikipedia:Platinum Games|Platinum Games]] character possibly from [[wikipedia:The Wonderful 101|The Wonderful 101]]. Aside from characters, multiple stages were listed: Starship Mario (Super Mario Galaxy 2), Giant Chasm (Pokémon Black 2/White 2), Pushmo Park (Pushmo), and Cookie Country (Kirby's Return to Dream Land). | |||
This rumor turned out to be partly true. A Nintendo Direct presentation in January confirmed that [[Super Smash Bros. 4]] for both the [[Wii U]] and [[3DS]] would be shown in some capacity at [[E3]] 2013. However, much of the information this "worker" claimed to be revealed was not. The Nintendo Direct presentation also did not occur on January 31. | |||
