The Kid Icarus is, to me at least, a godsend. I played Kid Icarus a lot when I was a kid. Frustrating, but fun. A challenge is a challenge.
Yoshi is always popular, so it there was no doubt he'd return. Nice to see a slight improvement on his egg throwing technique now.
The drums Final Smash doesn't seem like too bad of an idea. It might look too lacking if DK still has his ground-slapping move, though (since both might even use the same animation).
Anyway, quite a few good updates, hopefully we'll soon see Paper Mario become playable, haha.
