To be fair, outside of Rayman and Shovel Knight, these leaks had horrible sources. The Layton one was by a fan account for crying out loud. No one should have taken that one seriously

Rayman, on the other hand, had a pretty convincing artwork and lots of work put into it. It had tiny faults but normal people would have not seen those. The Shovel Knight Rumor was revealed by Tamaki of Unseen64 fame who has reported on several cancelled projects so he does have legitimate sources. Though it seems the retailer sources (he has at least one source that's not a retailer though) assumed that Shovel Knight would get a DLC character based on the fact of having an amiibo so, who knows at this point
