There hasn't been a release date announced for Japan regarding Tropical Freeze, so I have my doubts that Diddy Kong will be revealed around this month. Sakurai tends to prioritize Japan over everything else.

Zelda's probably going to be the next veteran revealed because A Link Between Worlds is set to be released on December 26th in Japan. But who knows? Marth was revealed out of nowhere.

Marth was attributed to a released game he appeared in. So I could see them waiting on Diddy.

But I'm good with a Zelda/Sheik reveal. I think this time around, Sakurai would show off both at the same time. Especially since on the earlier websites, they actually showed their moves. Without moves being shown, you don't have to show Zelda/Sheik as two separate pages anymore.

[up]Princess Hilda is Lorule's equivalent of Princess Zelda.

I think Hilda could be an alternate costume for Zelda.

The reason they probably chose the names in Sabrina the Teenage Witch and Link Between Worlds is because Hilda and Zelda basically mean the same thing.

Hilda means "battle" and Zelda is short form of Griselda which means "grey battle".

I expect any brand new characters will be revealed in a Nintendo Direct, at least, as opposed to just popping up on the website like most of the veterans. If they plan on doing a reveal-packed Direct in January again like they did this year, perhaps we'll see a new character shown there...

It seems all the arguments happen while I'm in school.tongue

I'm on the boat of Zelda being announced next, probably towards the end of this month.

Making Diddy a tag team character with Dixie would by definition add a whole lot. It would completely change his playstyle. And it wouldn't be redundant since they'd have different moves than the Ice Climbers. Also, they should totally add Plusle and Minun as a character too.

I don't think Plusle and Minun are notable enough to be considered.

Dixie and Diddy I think would be a combination of Ice Climbers and a Zelda/Sheik stance system. Although I agree that Diddy's already kinda established, but it isn't like we can't change characters. (I'm citing Bowser as a source.)

I'd like them to be a team, but I also don't mind them separate.

As for Plusle & Minun, they did get a Trophy as is(probably due to being Pikaclones. If they were planned, then obviously a Trophy of them would show up). And supposedly they were planned. So that's really hard to say.

I don't think a Trophy means anything, mind you. I just think they have notability due to that. And again, Pikaclones. One got in for being a Pikaclone, so they aren't entirely impossible regardless.

They really only did two things: be the Pikachu expies, and showcase the new Double Battle feature.

So they have some degree of notability, but there's other Pokémon I think are more deserving.

To change the topic, Project M version 3.0 comes out some time today. Can't wait to play as Mewtwo and Roy again.

Joe, were you referring to SSB 4, or Project M?

SSB 4, most likely.

I enjoyed playing as Meta Knight, so I hope he'll make a return appearance.

Yeah, I was referring to Smash Bros. 4. tongue

At this point, I'm starting to think [down]

Seriously, it's going to happen eventually. I just know it. But the suspense is killing me...tongue

EDIT: Oh wait a minute! Maybe they'll announce Meta Knight and Dedede when they talk about the new Kirby game (Kirby Triple Deluxe for Nintendo 3DS) on the next Nintendo Direct (whenever that is), or when it's almost the release date for Kirby Triple Deluxe, which is next year in Japan.

Triple Deluxe releases in January 11th in Japan, so it won't be a long wait if that's the case.

But to me, the biggest suspense is waiting to see if the Ice Climbers will get in. Which might be confirmed on January 30th, since that's when their game came out. It's also in the winter.

Like I said, they're really trying desperately to sell the 3DS's launch titles, aren't they?

Speaking of launch titles, think there'll be anything from Zombii U in the game? And, on that note, how do you think the gamepad will be used?

[up]I don't know the whole point of Smash Bros. is to celebrate everything about Nintendo.

Edit* I don't think they will mention Zombi U since it isn't a Nintendo IP and Nintendo didn't publish it everywhere. If they include 3rd party references it will be to something like Sonic or Megaman where the franchise has a character that is representing it as a playable character.
