New Smash Bros. and Nintendogs games reportedly in development, leaker claims

A Nintendo leaker claims new Smash Bros. and Nintendogs games are in development. The report has been repeated by Video Games Chronicle and Eurogamer, but Nintendo has not confirmed either project, so this is a rumour rather than an announcement.

The claim comes from a prominent Nintendo leaker and is reported second-hand by gaming publications. No release dates, platforms, development studios or gameplay details have been confirmed. Nintendo has not publicly announced new entries in either series in the material available for this draft.

This is exactly the sort of rumour that can swallow a week of gaming conversation while offering almost no usable information. Keep the popcorn ready, but do not put either game on a release calendar until Nintendo itself speaks.
