I want it to launch whenever it's ready, though I hope that will be sooner rather than later. I really feel Nintendo ought to flood the system with games in the first few months next year. My preference would be one first-party game per month. This system needs to be irresistable.
Anyhoo, I'm glad to see Zero Suit Samus is part of the ordinary Samus character, but I agree that the player should have some control over when she changes. This makes me wonder, will Zelda still turn into Sheik? Presumably Sheik isn't in Twilight Princess...
I'd like to see alternative costumes for characters. I think I mentioned that with Dr. Mario, but I was thinking about some more possibilities yesterday and I got pretty excited about it. How about NES Open Tournament Golf outfits for Mario and Luigi? Better yet, for Peach? Miniskirt Get! Different versions of Samus' armour. Link wearing tunics based on Ocarina and The Adventures of Link. Mario in his Sunshine shirt and sunglasses. Ganondorf wearing the flowing robes from Wind Waker. It's not a really huge idea or anything, I just think it would be a fun addition, similar to what some other fighting games offer.
