I'm not so sure they are fake...
a) the overall quality of the information (screenshots with anecdotal gameplay info) seems like a leak: an unauthorized release.
b) this actually fits with the info being available from Hong Kong, and not Japan. Tho' they've cleaned up their act a lot recently, the notion of 'intellectual property' is somewhat... diminished... in HK and China. Japanese publications would of course not touch unauthorized info.
c) all the new features seem very credible. Ample evidence in the 'shots of only two new levels, additional Forest and Cave stages, new weapons... new silly MAGs...
Of course, it could also be a skillful 'Shop job! Lots of the imagery looks like modified PSO1, like the Ice Dragon and the lightning-shooting Hildebear (though that also tallies with the Append concept!)... I guess we'll find out soon!
Peace,
Lem.
