Diddy Kong joins Smash Bros. Brawl roster
If you've ever wanted to physically assault Donkey Kong's diminutive and overly cheery pal, Diddy Kong, you'd best make plans to purchase Super Smash Bros. Brawl on December 3rd. Smash Bros. DOJO!! (it's them shouting, not us) has revealed that the pesky primate will be part of the growing list of combatants and plans to get by with his "whimsical fighting moves" and "Peanut Pop Gun." We look forward to knocking off that cap and wiping the smile off his face -- it'll certainly put one on ours. Alright Nintendo, let's get Tingle in here next.
[Thanks, Drew]

jimy @ Aug 22nd 2007 7:47AM

Slaziman @ Aug 22nd 2007 7:53AM
After some consideration I came to the conclusion that Squirtle should be dropped in favor of Mudkipz.
Donald @ Aug 22nd 2007 7:57AM
I support this comment and any beverages it may or may not be sponsoring.
Senor Spider @ Aug 22nd 2007 7:56AM
Dixie > Diddy
But this is still nice.
Slaziman @ Aug 22nd 2007 7:57AM
Needs more Mudkip!
Slaziman @ Aug 22nd 2007 7:59AM
And less delayed posts! Now I proposed Mudkip twice! Damn!
Also if possible we need the original Pokemon Theme song from the Anime somewhere... I WANNA BE THE VERY BEST
megaStryke @ Aug 22nd 2007 9:06AM
You shut your dirty little mouth.
jopojelly @ Aug 22nd 2007 2:33PM
You mean the adapted theme song made by some Americans.
Kye @ Aug 22nd 2007 8:02AM
I would like to propose being able to play as a member of team Rocket.
Slaziman @ Aug 22nd 2007 8:06AM
Yes!
Fatass of Kickassness @ Aug 22nd 2007 8:31AM
Hell no, leave that poorly animated crapfest away from this game.
oh, and, Bidoof > Mudkipz
Kree @ Aug 22nd 2007 8:59AM
I hate Bidoof with a passion that burns with the fires of a million suns.
Rich @ Aug 22nd 2007 9:17AM
mmmmmmm Jesse...!
samfish @ Aug 22nd 2007 10:19AM
Did you know that Jesse has a huge penis? It's true! I've seen the pictures!
She's really not very shy about whipping it out, although I have no idea how she hides that elephant's trunk in those shorts.
Word of the street. @ Aug 22nd 2007 10:54AM

Rich @ Aug 22nd 2007 12:59PM
WotS: That vid is just... wrong! You have a translation? Never mind, I don't think I want to know!
Jake @ Aug 22nd 2007 8:04AM
I hate Diddy with a passion. I see this as bad news.
Slaziman @ Aug 22nd 2007 8:07AM
Everybody knows you're a player hater!
DaMan09 @ Aug 22nd 2007 10:35AM
Think about it this way. You can now beat the bejesus out of that little shit of a monkey.
BPM @ Aug 22nd 2007 11:40AM
Are you trying to say that you want to... spank the monkey?
Kye @ Aug 22nd 2007 8:09AM
Ladies and Gentlemen, Slaziman has just set a new (and exciting) record for the most amount of replies!
He wins 2 internets!
Let me show you them.
Slaziman @ Aug 22nd 2007 8:18AM
I reply to other people all the time.
All the time.
Joshua @ Aug 22nd 2007 10:29AM
Oh jeez. Not that again.
colin @ Aug 22nd 2007 5:37PM
just curious kye, what is the deal with winning 2 internets, what does that mean? i have heard of 'winning teh internetz', and i've seen someone misspell teh as ten, thus 'wins ten internetz', but it is a non sequitur for someone to 'win 2 internets'
help me out here, brother. please explain.
snap ... this internet slang is wack, yo.
Evan @ Aug 22nd 2007 8:11AM
Diddy? Who cares about Diddy? Give me Sonic!
megaStryke @ Aug 22nd 2007 9:10AM
Sonic isn't a Nintendo property, so Sakurai isn't obligated to do shit. I hope he DOESN'T show up, then the whiners who were only going to buy the game for Sonic boycott it and then cry into their Sonic bed pillow plushies.
samfish @ Aug 22nd 2007 10:30AM
Yes, but Sonic SHOULD be a Nintendo property.
Nintendo! You're the only one who can save Sega from the gaping, stinky, rotting maw of Sammy!
megaStryke @ Aug 22nd 2007 10:37AM
They were fucked before Sammy.
DaMan09 @ Aug 22nd 2007 10:37AM
I want Sonic in the game so I can beat the shit out of him for making all those bad games.
samfish @ Aug 22nd 2007 11:05AM
"They were fucked before Sammy."
All the more reason for Nintendo swoop in and save the day!
JTHomeslice @ Aug 22nd 2007 8:14AM
I like this idea.
James @ Aug 22nd 2007 8:15AM
It's nice to see some more DK characters. Be nice if they made DK a bit faster and threw in that big fat strong guy (never played the game but I'm sure he exists) so you'd have a nice little spectrum of monkies to play as.
That big mofo King K Rule (again, never played the game!) should be in there. I will also cry and throw fits of rage all over Youtube if DeDeDe isn't at least a non-playable boss.
There have been quite a few new character announcements over the past month or so.
Slaziman @ Aug 22nd 2007 8:20AM
Jesus Christ, I don't want a 60 player roster!
Although King K Rule sounds kinky...
Fatass of Kickassness @ Aug 22nd 2007 8:32AM
If they can make each character significantly different, which is definitely possible with Smash's fighting engine, then why not 60 characters?
Patrick @ Aug 22nd 2007 9:50AM
first of all, definately pick up that rom of dk 64, its awesome, second the characters in dk 64 were donkey kong, diddy kong, Tiny Kong, Lanky Kong, Chunky, and the rhino and fish
shivr @ Aug 22nd 2007 10:30AM
I actually found DK 64 to be mostly a chore. Too much of a boring collect fest, even for me, and this is from someone who liked the Banjo-Kazooie games >_>
Robotochan @ Aug 22nd 2007 8:42AM
Damn Damn Damn, by far the most annoying character in Mario Tennis leaking into yet another Mario game :(
Fatass of Kickassness @ Aug 22nd 2007 8:47AM
He's back again, and about time, too
And this time, he's in the mood.
He can fly real high with his jetpack on...
With his pistols out, he's one tough Kong!
He can make you smile when you hear his tune...
But, Kremlings beware 'cause he's out after you!
A Pissed-off English Gamer @ Aug 22nd 2007 9:00AM
I don't understand those that sulk when they hear of a new character announced. It's as if, simply because they themselves did not think of the character's inclusion, they just hate on him. Suddenly the roster is too big. I mean, come on; this game is going to be cloneless. Ergo, the developers have put a ridiculous amount of time and polish into it. These aren't a lot of characters that are barely touched stencils of one another; they're classics that have been implemented with balance and likeness in mind. The more the better; i can't see the developers going wrong on the characters they decide.
Fatass of Kickassness @ Aug 22nd 2007 9:09AM
I don't understand those that reply to the wrong comment.
samfish @ Aug 22nd 2007 9:12AM
They're using crappy web browsers.
*I*, on the other hand, am using a nice web browser. A Good web browser that doesn't allow me to view f*cking GameTrailers.com videos...rrrr...
Kye @ Aug 22nd 2007 9:44AM
sometimes they just get so pissed off, they click on the first `reply` box they see.
@ Phillip
Phillip @ Aug 22nd 2007 8:49AM
How many stinkin' characters are there in this game???
Just think how long it will take to beat singleplayer with all the characters!
samfish @ Aug 22nd 2007 9:11AM
I like Diddy Kong.
shivr @ Aug 22nd 2007 10:33AM
I like him too. If they give him fast, acrobatic moves, he should be fun to play too, like a young link/sheik mix or something.
WiNG @ Aug 22nd 2007 10:09AM
I speak for everyone on the internets when I say
ADD VIEWTIFUL JOE to the roster.
Also Sonic. Or Knuckles at least.
Also personally I am just glad that Meta Knight is in the game. Am I the oNLY one who cares about that?
samfish @ Aug 22nd 2007 10:17AM
samfish fully supports Viewtiful Joe being added to the game.
Especially if you could switch off between Joe and Silvia.
Although I would be equally happy with any of the other Clover-related characters showing up, too (not that there's even a snowballs chance..)
