Obviously Ridley's not going to support a leak that he's not in.
"Tell them to shut up and have some faith in me." - dead flashback guyHere's the thing with the Dr. Mario one: I don't think editing is that out of the picture.
According to the comments, the only official parts of that Deviantart 2012 picture are the pose, which seems clearly identical, and the face, where the only difference is an easily-flippable mouth. Everything else was apparently created in Photoshop, which makes altering it likely.
......Holy Jesus fuck why am I putting so much effort into this??
I very, very vaguely recall him being named in the arcade version of Duck Hunt as something vaguely Looney Tunes -esque, like "Stanley McBark" or somesuch. The precise details elude me.

I sure said that!Look, I just went with Stanley because, for whatever reason, I thought of The Stanley Parable and I was like "Yeah, that's a nice, comedically-normal-sounding name."
"We're home, Chewie."I will also state that, even if I think this leak is fake, few things can get me to throw my money at the screen faster than a playable Duck Hunt Dog. Seriously, yes. Do that shit, Nintendo.
While I sympathize with you, edvedd, unless the Pic is another character reveal (or something else that debunks the leak), I doubt talks of this leak will be going away anytime soon.
But hey, at least we had a brief respite between this leak and the last big leak...

I'd be amused if the next character reveal was not only someone that has nothing to do with the leak, but another character that nobody predicted like WFT.
Like, I dunno, Olaf.
Lucas, Wolf, Chorus Men, IC, and Snake.

For a second I thought you were talking about Olaf.

"We're home, Chewie."@Customer: Yeah, I know. I'm just feeling a bit grumpy about it all right now.
Visit my Tumblr! I may say things. The Bureau ProjectI will say that if this leak confirms DLC then it makes me more hopeful about a possible Inkling inclusion later down the line.
@Nap: Now THAT I can get behind, because that would be fun as hell. You lay down ink and use it to move around. The final smash is that orbital paint laser.
Visit my Tumblr! I may say things. The Bureau ProjectI'm gonna be honest, all the "We want the Chorus Men!" rallying after the Gematsu leak fell apart is really starting to piss me off. Because honestly the Gematsu leak is the only reason most people even know who the Chorus Men are, and I'm gonna guess about 90% of those new CM fans are people trying to salvage said leak (which still confuses me to no end).
Just.......ugh. Internet. Whatever.
EDIT: Having only heard of Splatoon recently, I am 100% a fan of one of the Inklings getting in at some point. An FPS character can definitely work in this kind of game (look at a quarter of the cast of PSASBR), and the Inklings are certainly very interesting to come out of that genre.
