Like I said, it sounds like whoever was live-blogging jumped the gun and assumed that simply being in Pac-Man's trailer meant G&W was confirmed.

I just watched the trailer, and I never thought I'd be hyped for Pac-man, my biggest un-hope, but I am now.

Was anything besides Pac-Man confirmed while I was gone?

Hard to say.

Some sources say G&W and Captain Falcon were confirmed, but the only other thing the official livetweeting at NOA's twitter account says is the amiibo integration.

So, now we know how many custom moves each character has, let me try to suss out Palutena's posibilities:

B: Heavenly Light, Autoreticle, Celestial Fireworks
Side B: Angelic Missile, Super Speed, Explosive Flame
Down B: Counter, Reflect Barrier, Lightweight
Up B: Warp, Jump Glide, Rocket Jump

Final Smash: Black Hole + Mega Laser

Sound about right?

I love how they gave Palutena the various Powers. It makes so much sense, since it really was Palutena sending down those powers to aid Pit.

Oh, and this makes 2 characters who initiate their Final Smashes with black holes.

Not that I know of... From today, we've had Mii Fighters, Palutena, and Pac-Man, with Game & Watch possibly on the way too.

Can't think of much else as far as reveals go...

Oh yeah, apparently even the third party stages are gonna be different between U and 3D, considering there's 2 different Pac-Man stages.

[up][up]G&W shows up at the end of the official Pac-Man video and was confirmed to the media in the Round Table. He's confirmed. It's not really a question.

[up]No; mine did that too for a while.

@TTPR: Shows up like that for me too. I'm guessing the site's still being updated, since the latest character I see on the main page is Ike.

#46564: Jun 10th 2014 at 8:50:50 PM

I have yet to see proof that he was confirmed to the media, especially since NOA's twitter didn't mention him, he didn't have the "Mr. Game & Watch does something punny about fighting" screen, and he's not on the official site.

The lesson learned today - it really doesn't matter who gets in the game - they're going to have a great move set and be charming as all hell anyway.

Judging by most reactions, Pac has been Rescued from the Scrappy Heap pretty much immediately.

Very well played, Sakurai and Namco.

Scroll to the bottom. Reactions from people:

"Pac-man and Game & Watch, nice!"

"Pac-Man revealed. And Mr. Game and Watch returns. So far so good!"

Besides, they probably wouldn't put him at the end of Pac-Man's trailer if they didn't expect us to think he was confirmed.

Again, none of that is proof. Game and Watch was in the trailer. Unless there's a source that says "They told us that Mr. Game & Watch is a playable character", that's not confirmation.

Ugh. Hopefully people can keep up with the YMMV page on Smash for a while. I think I'm going wait until the weekend to look it over, when reactions will have died down.

#46574: Jun 10th 2014 at 8:54:12 PM

Just because he hasn't explicitly been revealed yet doesn't mean he's not incoming. They wouldn't have him show up with a slightly different design just for a quick offhand joke.

You sure that isn't just reaction to the end of the Pac-Man video?

I'm sure he's returning regardless, but if he was officially confirmed he'd have a page on the site by now.
