Rumor more characters unlocked by linking the 3DS version to the Wii U version?

I have a source who has been right about previous leaks and has worked on the European localization of the game. He says he has definitely seen moving models of Dixie, Ridley, Chorus Men and Mewtwo in the game and he’s still confident that these four characters can be unlocked by linking the 3DS version to the Wii U version.

Now, I know how outlandish this sounds, and being a game journalist myself I’m taking this with a grain of salt myself, but we’re talking about the guy who told me about the Bowser Jr. alts immediately after the ESRB leaks and has never been wrong about other stuff as well. Plus, the whole connectivity thing makes far too much sense, if only to get fans to buy both versions. *insert itprintsmoney.gif here*

Again, I swear on my soul that I’m not trolling. Time will tell. I thought Ridley was never gonna be in, but hey.

I guess it would make sense there's 4 open spots on the 3DS character select screen after everyone is unlocked and I always thought that the connectivity between the games had more to it.

Here's a picture of what the roster could look like if this is true.

Spoiler:

I wouldn't put it past them, it only makes sense. If this is the case, I will most certainly try to get both versions of the game if I can.
