With Nintendo continuing to trickle out official information about Super Smash Bros. Brawl, it seems a few early copies have leaked into the hands of gamers in advance of the Jan. 31 Japanese release. As such, there has been anabsoluteflood of credible images, videos and information about the game leaking onto the 'net throughout the day today.

While none of the following information has been confirmed, we're relatively confident in the veracity of everything below (unlike before). We'll continue to update as further credible information becomes available.

WARNING: Read on only if you want significant portions of the game spoiled.

[Update - 1/30, 9:58 AM: We've gotten hold of a slightly more reliable image of the Star Wolf roster and an in-game shot of his introduction. Thanks N3k74r. We've also heard word that the below roster is the final one, but we remind you that none of this information is confirmed and word is still coming in. Also added pictures of Electroplankton and Luigi's Mansion stages.]
[Update - 12:04 AM: Due to claims of Photoshop forgery with the previous Star Wolf image, we are replacing the roster with the prior update until we can corroborate his in-game existence.]

[Update - 10:53 PM:

Added an updated roster with Star Wolf unlocked. Thanks xeleion. Still looking for gameplay footage with Wolf in it.]
[Update - 5:51 PM: Added in-game picture of Jigglypuff. We've also heard rumors that Star Wolf is playable, but we haven't found any visual confirmation of this yet. More later.]
[Update - 4:20 PM: Added Port Town stage picture.]

[Update - 3:35 PM: Replaced roster with clearer version that includes Jigglypuff. Still looking for a good gameplay picture with Jigglypuff in it. Thanks, StarFoxA.]
