Characters switch bodies, hilarity ensues.

This will be awesome playing against people that only have experience with one character :3

....or not.

switching bodies? holy ****! XD 

Swithing bodies is kinda cool

It’s Manaphy! This Pokémon also appeared in a film.

This Manaphy is quite different from the other Pokémon that appear in this game. So much so that you’ll think, is this even possible?! Or words to that effect.

It appears from the Poké Ball!

Heart Swaaaaaaaaap!

.........

Nothing happened...? No. That is not so.

Why, Zelda and DK have switched bodies! Wait... You mean, I’m her, and she’s me?!

AAAUUUGGGHHH!

You have to fight as your opponent for a while! They say it’s good to know your enemy.

But you haven’t really swapped places, so if you jump off the edge, it counts as a self-destruct for you. And your damage meter remains as it was.

After a certain amount of time, you go back to normal. Phew. Good.

Well it can only be good I suppose ( the update of course).

Btw I've skipped pass the comments on this page Again so I'll be surprised when I check the site.

The update below it is an interview with Sakurai and Iwata, a great read: http://us.wii.com/iwata_asks/ssbb/vol1_page1.jsp

lmao thats an awesome spin on the game...I'm trying to work out the strategy though....

Is damage tied to the person or the body then? What I mean is if I am in my opponents body and I beat them for 50% and then we swap back am I +50% damage or are they?

Obviously just jumping off the edge takes one of your lives, but if someone is knocked off the edge via combat who loses the life?

Again, surprised no one is interested in this -- this game was developed by Game Arts.

Great update. The interview was really interesting too.

Thanks Ben!
