That was in 64 and Melee. None of his shown colors were new.
Fire mario is also old. From smash 64.
lol man… everyone is so obsessed with captain falcon… i dont blame yall though… nothing better than hitting someone with the “knee of PWNAGE” to launch them to their doom lol
i’m expecting a nice thanksgiving update
…perhaps a new character?
…or even a new boss?
nah in the spirit of thanksgiving we’re going to get a turkey. something really dumb like “WHOA! sometimes smash can get a little too intense but before you pass out from all the crazy action remember you can always pause the game at any time!” and then it’ll proceed to explain how to pause the game with all the different control methods.
nonono, after 2 or 3 matches it’ll post over the player select screen [HOW ABOUT A BREAK?] and like a popup it’ll show up during matches every few minutes after that
…
You know what would rock?
If one of Z. Samus’ extra outfits was her boyshort-hairdown outfit from the previous ending artworks. Or hell, her bikini fit from metroid 1.
Or, if Link had a fit with pink hair. (lol)
Or if wario had his classic fit.
one can dream…
Or perhaps UNLOCKABLE fits? YES.
Some random character from a game I’ve never heard of as an AT. And the Fail Train keeps on chugging…
You’ve never heard of S&P?
DL it from the Wii Shop channel and bask in it’s glory.
sin and punishment’s a great game, it’s one of the few titles on the virtual console actually worth paying for.
But i hate how Nintendo seems to mock us when they reveal an assist trophy with a “he would have been a great character” type line.
pretty cool that they included a sin and punishment character…especially after it got released over here so we could get familiar with him…I still haven’t played the game yet but I hear it’s awesome.
Imo the pallette announcement (and its captions) yesterday were more exciting that this.
“Holy crap, Donkey’s white?!”
awesome update, makes up for the less than stellar updates we’ve been getting.
you cant even tell that Saki isnt an actual character in most of those screen shots…man, its totally not fair.
but at the same time, its incredibly awesome that they have found a way to include all these characters in the game.
I’ve yet to turn on my Wii at all since I can’t even buy Galaxy right now and I’m still in school.
So I too haven’t ever played Sin and Punishment, though I have seen other people (mostly in these thread) mention it.
Anyway, going back to yesterday’s update, I can’t believe that I never tripped off the fact that we never got a Fire Mario costume, even though the Fire Flower is an item. Ye gods.
Also, the two (three?) new alternate costumes for Pikachu make agree with Ign theory that this is Pikachu is the Pichu from Melee evolved.
The Dark costumes look freaking sweet, especially Dark Link and Goth Zelda. I also agree that the former is probably going to be the most overused one.
I like how he called dark Pit a fallen angel.
Made him sound too fucking cool.
“Pit”-fall? 
Hell yeah. Sin and Punishment is the shit. $12 for some hot shit on VC to learn what’s really good with Saki is well worth the price of admission. It’s cool of Nintendo to show Treasure some love. So now bring me playable Gunstar Green with Seven Force as that Final Smash.
Bull shit.
This guy looks good enough to be a standalone character.Even worse Nintendo states he would have made a great character
Though I haven’t even heard of the character until now, I agree.
I lol’d to this hard.
Nice update, once my internet stops being fickle I’ll download this from the virtual console. Are the Virtual Console games supported with online play? Like World Heroes and stuff?
