Monday: "Co-op Events"
Events are playable with more than one person at a time now. Players will work on the same team and co-op event mode may contain many different events than those found in single player. We still don't know how many events there are.
What we learned:

• "This time, Event matches can be played in two-player mode!"
• There are fewer events than in single player events.
• Coin battles are back (+bills)
• Co-op targetsmash confirmed.

Grade: A




Tuesday: "Mother: Porky's Theme", "Frigate Orpheon"
Mother gets some musical love and Metroid gets a stage. The music is oddly nostalgic. The stage has a hazard. It rotates around the parasite queen in her gigantic test tube thing, and occasionally gravity flips after power outages...really all this update did was make me want a Mario Galaxy stage and Ridley. At least as a boss.
What we learned:

• "Prime" series has been acknowledged.
• This game has a lot of Mother 3 crap. (Which is good.)

Grade: B



Wednesday: "Team Healer"
An item is revealed! Tuesday's update had us gasping, because not only did we get an unusually lacking update, but it brought forth new strategy. Team Healer is basically this awesome orb that heals whoever gets hit by it. Quite handy in team mode.
What we learned:

• Team Healers only appear in Team Battle.
• The more damage you have, the more you get healed.
• Still Red, Green, and Blue.

Grade: C



Thursday: "Kirby's Special Moves"
Kirby's neutral B move is shown off. If it weren't for the awesome different forms they showed, and the giveaway of Dedede's neutral B, this update would suck, thankfully, Sakurai has got that covered.
What we learned:

• Multiple Kirby outfits.
• Snake Kirby > You.
• Dedede's neutral B is inhale.
  

Grade: C





Friday: "Subspace Emissary Movie"
Awesome. Not only does this movie eerily sync (even the Japanese one) with the 300 trailer, but it somehow morphs recycled footage into fresh awesomesauce.
What we learned:

• Bowser has a trophy gun.
• Meta Knight and Ice Climbers team up in Subspace.
• Lucas has a role in Subspace.
• New Polygon Fighters/Wireframes are NOT Primids.

Grade: B

Remember that Prima Guide leak?

Yeah.

Untrue.

Serebii has stated on a forum, which I won't name due to possibility of floodular based death, that the roster is inaccurate.

Hey, I trust the guy.

Via CoroCoro, the same people who report exclusive information on other games such as Pokemon months before release.

We don't know yet if this means that we'll get a confirmation of the starting roster, or the entire roster, but it should help clarify a lot of things, and possibly even crush our previous rumor of a roster leak.

" The article states that CoroCoro Comics have announced that all characters will be revealed alongside an issue of the CoroCoro Comics magazine (in a separate booklet) on December 15. But the article then states that CoroCoro might just be showing all of the starting characters, not the secret characters. This means that by December 15, we'll either get the full roster from CoroCoro comics, or they'll just give the starting roster, which will probably be on the Dojo prior to the magazine's announcement.
