    Game and Watch is a two dimensional shim sham of the precursors to the NES era.

    The fact that a person doesn't physically fight makes little sense in the bizzarro world of smash bros.
    But Falcon had a comic book and tv show. And Game and Watch di... I... retro!

    Reading this thread makes me glad that nobody on this forum is responsible for making this game, for serious.

    For serious.

    That being said, I find it necessary to contribute a myriad of equally pointless character wantings so that they can be the next debacle of this on-going circus.

    Diddy Kong
    Toad or Birdo
    Poppy Bros Jr. or Waddle Dee or Sir Kibble
    Randi/Randy AKA the main character in Secret of Mana (since our sword bros might be takin' a hike)
    Kanden (From Hunters)
    Darbus (The goron chief, or a goron in general) or Prince Ralis (The Zora, or a Zora in general)
    Any hero from Dragon Quest (Who is unlocked on a weekend, thanks to a not-so-true urban myth regarding Dragon Quest games and their ability to be released during school time.)

    Let's see here, I'll tell you who I think are likely out of these and why starting from the top

    A good shot, he's in a lot of the recent sports titles and DK is the only real representative of his game
    Toad and Birdo are also very likely, but maybe less so given the representation of mario characters. I'd give the slight edge to toad to complete the SMB USA quartet.
    None too likely, especially given Metaknight's appearence.
    Not even close, the only likely square characters I could see would be Geno or Booster.
    Kanden, eh, not a terrible choice but I really doubt it
    Almost no chance for a goron. I'm predicting Link, Zelda (known), Sheik, Wind Waker Link, Gannondorf.
    Possibly

    Also, I don't think anyone believes that Marth at the least isn't in this game. I fully expect Roy to be replaced by Ike, being the poster child of the last two Emblem games.

    Other people I think have really good shots: Lucas/Claus from Mother 3, Sonic, Waluigi.

    I still think the game needs more main characters from Nintendo games that haven't gotten representation in the game, especially since there is a lot that has happened since Melee. I mean, in Melee we got what new games:

    Ice Climbers
    Game and Watch
    Fire Emblem

    There is plenty of potential from Nintendo's own franchises that has been left untapped:

    Pikmin
    Animal Crossing
    Advance Wars
    Punch Out

    I can't think of any more games Nintendo has made recently that weren't using their main franchises and have actual characters (sorry Excite Truck). I guess there is still Wave Race and 1080, although I don't think any of them would make good characters.

    I'm kind of sick of Mario and Zelda characters making up a majority of the roster.

    Roy yes, but Marth pretty much is the lynchpin in the series, as he starred in multiple games. The flag in the castle level being traced back to his game is further evidence to this.

    Marth and Ike, final answer.

    This is entirely possible. Heck, I am an advocate of palette swaps, being on the recording saying that I would do hideous things to people for a blond version of snake and an eye patched version of snake. Don't really need Solidus, but that would be an exceptable bonus as well.

    The only thing I am really ruling out is Roy as an entirely seperate character. He was there to promote the relaunch of the series on the GBA and really no other reason. Far more popular lords have come around since then. Hector, Lyn, hell, even Eliwood are more popular than that stick in the mud.

    Wow names for players.... interesting. But why are they using the cell phone typing. I hate that in PBR.You can enter individual names for each player.


    Start by just entering a name.

    various02_070628a-l.jpg

    This time, enter it like you would on your cell phone!
    You can also use random names.


    Once it’s entered, choose your name for your character on the character-selection screen before you begin fighting.

    various02_070628b-l.jpg

    The character-selection screen is still a secret!

    This time, names are extremely important. That’s because we’ve included personalized button configurations.

    We’ve made this game compatible with four different controllers:

    various02_070628c.gif


    You can change button configurations for each one for each registered name, and alter those configurations any way you like.

    Assigning personal button configurations each time you fight would be a bit of a pain...but if you just choose your name from the list, BAM! You get to play with your preferred configuration! There’s no waiting!

    We’re also considering allowing you to save your name to the memory in your Wii Remote so you can bring your settings with you to your friend’s house...

    But if we can’t make that happen, I apologize.

    Edited to include actual update.

    Ooh. First peek at the UI - seems like they're going for a white color scheme now, maybe it's customizable. Probably longer names, and not all caps anymore. Oh, and FULLY CUSTOMIZABLE BUTTON LAYOUTS. I want this game so much. Is that a blurred out character select in the second screen?

    Even if you can, it's probably not the whole thing. It looks like the name select box scrolled up to cover it.
