- Zero Suit Samus: Samus gets her Varia Suit back as damaging energy radiates around her.

[Bill Aurion]

Add these:

Pokemon
Latios/Latias

Returning Items
Bob-omb

Assist Trophies
Airan (Sin & Punishment)


Also, can you point me to the source that confirmed Gardevoir?

[The Sailerman]

Really? There's a Sin & Punishment character?

Hm... Could that mean Geno is a playable character?  


As for the source that confirmed Gardevoir:
http://www.gameinformer.com/News/Story/200710/N07.1011.1649.57274.htm?Page=2

It's in the third paragraph.

[Bill Aurion]

I don't believe Ninty holds the rights to Geno, but that certainly doesn't decrease his chances of being in the game all that much...It's nice to see that Golden Sun has even more of a chance now, though...

(Thanks for the link...)

[The Sailerman]

Oh, duh, I was thinking SquareSoft developed Super Mario RPG and Sin & Punishment. I have no idea why.
I guess Geno still has some chance though.

[that Baby guy]

Well, I called the online coop a week or two ago.  It's good to see it in.  Is that is for the costumes?  It seems like they don't have them complete, then.

[The Sailerman]

That's just what we know for the costumes from the resources available. I'm sure they have all the costumes/colors for everyone already.

[Strell]

Throwing in a S&P character is high on the WTF-but-encouraging scale.  

I wonder if they upgraded the model.  Good god I hope so.

In a related note, S&P is perfectly suited to the Wii mote.  Absolutely perfectly suited.  A sequel should be made.

I think all of the characters that ranked high on the Japanese most requested poll have a chance of appearing in the game (including Ouendan!!).

[Robageejammin]

How about adding that the controls are fully mappable for all controller types?

[Bill Aurion]

We've known that since the Four Controller Types update on the Dojo... =)

[Robageejammin]

how come you always have to be the one to correct me Bill? Give someone else a chance to for once!

oh...hey wait a second...It wasn't the four controller types announcement! It was the Names announcement! IN YO FACE

<3

[Bill Aurion]

Aw, at least I knew that we already heard about it! </saves face>
