Hidden N64 Super Smash Bros spotted in Switch Online trailer, don’t get too excited
Gaussian Blur.
You know it’s a slow news week when people are analysing a blurred UI background from a months-old Nintendo Switch Online trailer—hoping for, well, anything.
Over the weekend, the Super Smash Bros. box art was spotted hidden in the background of a recent Nintendo 64 – Nintendo Switch Online trailer. It’s not immediately obvious, which probably explains why it took two months to notice. But at the 40-second mark, in the blur of the UI, you can just make out the Super Smash Bros. box art.
Here’s a still from the trailer. Next to it, we’ve applied a similar blur to the actual box art so you can see what people are getting excited about. There also appear to be box arts for Glover, Forsaken and even Donkey Kong 64.
None of these games have been announced for the Nintendo 64 – Nintendo Switch Online lineup at this stage.
There’s no doubt that Super Smash Bros. will come to the Nintendo Classics lineup at some stage, but does this mean it’s happening anytime soon? Not exactly. The two other games that are featured and blurred also haven’t been released – and Nintendo has released screenshots of these apps with games that have never been released before.
It’ll happen one day, but probably not today. Make us wrong Nintendo. We dare you.
