Smash Wii U

With Super Smash Bros. for Wii U just a little over a month away, we know that Nintendo is gearing up to reveal more details; Masahiro Sakurai recently stated that an upcoming announcement would reveal the game's "true potential". That sort of teasing comment certainly gets fans speculating, but now Amazon has added more fuel to the fire.

The amazon.com listing — at the time of writing — states that as players we'll be "creating stages on the GamePad", while also saying there'll be a "board game mode". This is given some credence as it then references "competing in challenges crafted by Master Hand and Crazy Hand", which certainly points to Masahiro Sakurai's partial reveal earlier this week. Below is a screengrab of the product description, as we expect Amazon to remove this information once Nintendo inevitably makes the request.

Smash Stage Creator

Amazon has leaked game details before, and they should always be received with a bit of caution. Such is the specific and feasible nature of this — Super Smash Bros. Brawl included a Stage Builder — that we'd like to think it's a case of an over-eager Amazon employee sharing information that's supposed to be embargoed, pending a Nintendo announcement. A stage creator using the GamePad would certainly help fit the bill of this Wii U release reaching its "true potential", especially if online and Miiverse sharing — for example — were also part of the package.

What do you think of this? Is it a genuine leak, or is Amazon making it up? Just how hyped would you be to have a stage creation tool and 'board game mode' in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U? Let us know in the comments below.
