The conversation began with the fan asking for Geno from ''Super Mario RPG'', [[Isaac]] from ''Golden Sun'', and Mega Man from his eponymous series to appear. Sakurai's response was "2 out of 3", which the blog author claimed gave credence to the possibility of two of the three aforementioned characters appearing. However, the author also claimed that the Tweet in question from Sakurai was deleted only half an hour after being posted.

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.

==="'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 co-workers.

He reported that there would be a Nintendo Direct on the fifth anniversary of ''Brawl''
'
s Japanese release (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: Takamaru from ''[[wikipedia:Nazo no Murasame Jō|Nazo no Murasame Jō]]'' and [[Little Mac]] (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 the at the time rumour-only ''[[mariowiki:Yarn Yoshi|Yarn Yoshi]]'' (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. This presentation, however, occurred on January 23, and no presentation occurred on January 31. Also, much of the information this "worker" claimed to be revealed was not.
