A lot has happened over the last week since our last Smash Bro’s update. We have basically everything covered, a core game mechanic, a level, an item, new music and even a ‘new’ character.

Sure we may be very familiar with her in past iterations, but since the producers will not simply be rehasing every single character from the last game, it is hard to expect which characters will be returning. Zelda is one we expected, but didn’t yet know for sure. Although she doesn’t seem to be as cut an dry as previously though. First she’s received a bit of a make over, hair dye job and all. There is also curiously no mention of Sheik. As her character seems to come from the Twilight Princess realm instead of OOT, it’s hard to say what her other abilities will be.

We also have some more obvious appearances with banana peels as a useable item. You can pretty much figure out for yourself how they will be implemented. It’s also great to see the Lyalt Cruise level brought back, but extremely altered. According to the developers, the ship will continue to progress through an epic space battle, complete with breaking through a planets atmosphere and more. Yes, it is a bit over the top, but this is Smash Bros.

Finally the most recent post outlines the naming system. Much like Mii storage, the developers are hoping that you can implement your name into the game, and by able to save and carry it on a Wiimote. Under your profile you can set your preferred button arrangement, allowing maximum possibility and control style, with little pre-match effort every time.
