That’s just not how reality works.Īnd the giveaways don’t stop there. Can a random internet user be the only person online posting about this? What’s more, he’s one of two users on the site to submit the image, with the other one being someone who’s referring to one of his posts as the link target.Īgain, something seems off about that. Indeed, in his entire history on the site, his only submissions consist of these two image posts and a few comments on the Bomberman subreddit. Thing is, said user never submitted anything else. Yep, on both the Nintendo Switch and Bomberman subreddits, the post about this image was posted by a user called Hyperdrive8. Strike 2 is that said image just happens to be the ONLY thing submitted by its poster. So, if the picture was indeed real, someone would have found it by now. Kind of like how they checked the background of those Mario Odyssey amiibo boxes to see if any new kingdoms were listed there. They’ll do this because said files have often led to them finding out about unannounced games early, or about content that the company didn’t want to show off yet. Many gamers (and gaming journalists) will check for unlinked files on websites. No, the main problem is that it’s almost inevitable that someone would have found the picture beforehand. A picture of an arena added through DLC or what not.īut that’s not the main problem with the claim here. This means an ‘ss17.jpg’ file would probably be fairly similar. For example, here’s what ss16.jpg looks like on the websites:Īs you can tell, it’s not a piece of promotional art. There are indeed files labelled with names like ‘ss01.jpg’ and ‘ss15.jpg’.īut these files aren’t artwork. Okay, that seems plausible at first glance. For example, let’s say it really was on the site with the file name ‘ss17.jpg’. Gaming sites are not going to ignore a story about a Mario/Bomberman crossover, let alone one sourced from their website.Īnd no, it being a ‘leak’ doesn’t make it more likely to be real either. So, the fact no one’s written about this story should be setting off alarm bells right away. Gaming journalists are so desperate for a story (any story in fact) that they’ll publish that sounds even remotely credible. What’s the last major gaming news story you’ve seen not get posted on at least one gaming website? Which for a legitimate story, would make no sense whatsoever. Somehow, this story has never been run in a single news publication. Or maybe it’s a mainstream media organisation like the BBC. Maybe it’s GoNintendo or My Nintendo News. Have you ever seen this story run in ANY credible publication?Īny one will do. And in this article, I’m about to tell you exactly why that is… Yep, the supposed crossover/tie in being advertised in that image doesn’t exist. It’s a neat story, and if real would be a major announcement.
SUPER MARIO BOMBERMAN UPDATE
Posted on various link aggregator sites like Reddit, the story claims that Nintendo and Konami are releasing a promotional tie in update for both games, with said update letting you make your Bomberman look like Mario or vice versa. In the last few weeks, an interesting story about a Super Mario Odyssey/Super Bomberman R crossover has been spreading online.
