03.05.2007 SUPER SMASH BROS BRAWL ROSTER UPDATE

The director of Super Smash Bros. Brawl was on a Japanese radio station recently, and instead of being a guest on a late night sex talk-show, or narrating a top ten song countdown, he actually gave out some new details on his upcoming Wii fighting game. Masashiro Sakurai announced that the Metroid villain Ridley would be joining the already announced Samus and Zero Suit Samus characters. He also mentioned that the Ice Climbers, Mr. Game & Watch, and Young Link will not be featured, but that Celda Link (Link from Wind Waker) would be replacing the young hero. The last new character he named was Bowser Jr., which makes me think that Baby Mario and Baby Luigi will also be included on the next roster announcement. The cel-shaded Link character will definitely be the first fighter I try out, but I'd prefer having Link from Majora's Mask as a playable character - being able to morph into the Deku, Goron, and Zora forms would be so much better than the typical bomb and arrow style combat we're used to. I'm still looking for Mega Man, Bomberman, and a dozen other characters announced soon. Any predictions?

What was the name of that suped up Link from Majora's Mask, after you collected all the masks? That should make an appearance, or at the very least Link should be able to turn into that.

I wouldn't too surprised if Sonic and/or Knuckles/Tails maybe made it in, though I doubt it.

Ridley is friggin huge! How the hell is he going to fight? Well I'm glad the Ice Climbers are gone, they were fucking WORTHLESS! They became the new Jigglypuff, a fighter my brother and I would pummel mercilessly when we were bored. But I'm disapointed they're replacing kid Link with cel-shaded Link, although they're both equally lame for stealing the spotlight from adult Link, their games are good but they are lame.

Im almost 99% confident that this is fake, because this same info was out in june stating the same characters. But I could be wrong.

Yeah it would have been nice to see more "Non" Nintendo Licensed Characters. Although Snake is nice, MegaMan or Bomberman would have been alot better. Although I've been waiting for Sonic to appear since the Game Cube version & Sega started making games for Nintendo.
But with Snake from Konami it's only a matter of time till other licensed characters from different companies make it into the game.
MegaMan seems a more likely bet, because of Capcom's ties with Nintendo (remember Captain N?) before.

Damn, I'm kinda bummed they're leaving Ice Climbers out of this... But I guess I'll probably do what I did with the jump from the original to Melee, and just try everybody out and see what works.
