What if it were all a hoax?

[Driftr]

Just stick with me in this Twilight-Zoney kinda train of thought here...

So, Sakurai-san here is making updates to smashbrosdojo.com revealing another tantilizing detail about the upcoming Smash Bros Brawl title to salivating fans every weekday.  He's building up a massive geyser of anticipation about the finished product; making gamers everywhere think about the title months before the game is to be released.  That's good marketing right there.

But consider this:  what if the site was a hoax?  What if every detail of the supposed game was a hoax?  What if Nintendo isn't really making a sequel, and is really just building up hype over something doesn't even exist!? 

I don't really believe this would happen myself...Nintendo would have nothing to gain except bad PR if this was true...I just think it would be shocking.

why does everyone doubt sakurai?! this question has been asked like a million times

I can't think that way, because the Demo's and the Updates are right in front of me.

And the point being that he'd actually waste this much time, updating something
that would not exist honestly makes no sense what so ever.

He'd be wasting his time/money/effort.

why does everyone think it's a hoax?

They wouldn'y make a demo if the game was a hoax!  :robotangry:

This reminds me of a funny joke. Here it goes. You go to get Brawl. It is out of stock but some guy in an alley and he has one and he is selling it for $70. You instantly buy it without thinking and when you get back home you put it in the wii. Poorly drawn stick figures that remotley look like nintendo characters appear on the screen saying virus over and over. Your wii starts smoking. You turn it off but your wii doesn't work anymore. You just got the first ever virus for the wii and the worst part is your wii is sending it to other wii's over wii connect 24 they find out it was you and burn your house down you die. the end.

If you bothered to actually read my post, you would have noticed that I said the same thing.
