What are they doing about Pokemon, or Fire Emblem? Ohhhh man...

There is no such thing as a console war. This is the first step to game design.

Tons of Info and Starting Roster Revealed!

I was just emailed by one of my reliable contacts from Japan, Kashikomarimashita (the guy who gaves us the CoroCoro scans both times), and he bought the latest Famitsu magazine. Here's some images, and below them is what was said in the magazine:

Final Destination is now 100% completely confirmed.

The ordering for character weight that was shown a few days ago lists the percentages that it takes to KO that character with Mario's Side Smash from the center of Final Destination.

The best three attacks listed for each character tell which attacks have the most knockback, and what percentage they can KO Mario from the center of Final Destination.

Wall Clinging is confirmed.

All of the smashes listed are uncharged.

Mario can be KO'd at 17% by a fully charged side smash from King Dedede. So from the characters we know, Dedede's fully charged Side Smash is the most powerful move in the game.

The Pokemon Trainer's pokemon all get fatigued at about 2 minutes, even if you dont move them. They all show visible signs of fatigue: Charizard lowers his head and wings. Squirtle drops his front hands to the ground. Ivysaur's bulb withers.

The Fanmitsu magazine confirms the starting roster is the 23 characters on the Dojo. (minus Snake and Sonic, and including Zero Suit Samus and Sheik)

Once fatigued, a Pokemon becomes much slower.

If you do an aerial block the precise moment before you are hit by an opponent, it will reverse the attack.

The game allows you to access the rules menu directly from the character select screen.

When Sheik attacks with certain items such as the Star Rod and Beam Sword, she swings upward twice with a single motion.

The damage percentages were determined in training mode against a dummy CP and do not take DI in to account.

Wario's bite can swallow and destroy items and projectiles thrown at him. Everytime he does this, he takes 6% damage.

The magazine makes no mention of being able to start as Zero Suit Samus at the start of a match.

Here is the Character Info:

This is just crazy. Has any game packed so much content into one package before? The only other box that comes close is the orange box, and that can only compete because they included 5 completely seperate games into one box. This is just one absolutely gigantic game, a celebration of Nintendo and their contribution to the videogame world. It really couldn't have come at a more appropriate time (when Nintendo is once again the king of the videogame world after a long haitus).

Knowing I will be able to play so much history from the NES,SNES, N64, Gamecube (for olimar surely) all in one package is just incredible. Almost brings a tear to the eye really.

Wow, that's an insane amount of research into each character's strongest moves. At first I was confused because DK had lower percentages than Diddy, I'm like WTF, but then I realized what they meant.

Good to see Zelda's aerial side smash is stronger than ever...I used that move whenever I could in Melee.

LEFT4DEAD411.COM
Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release. (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )
