After reporting yesterday using a video seemingly taken from the character select screen, it has today come to light that an image with a far more probable looking roster has surfaced, enjoy.

From this, we can determine this character list:
Mario
Luigi
Princess Peach
Wario
Donkey Kong
Diddy Kong
Yoshi
Young Link
Link
Zelda
Ganondorf
ROB
Samus Aran
Pit
Ice Climbers
Capt. Olimar
Kirby
Metaknight
King Dedede
Capt. Falcon
Fox Mcloud
Falco Lombardi
Lucario
Jigglypuff
Pikachu
Pokemon Trainer
Ness
Lucas
Marth
Ike
Sonic
Mr. Game&Watch
Snake
Bowser
This is an extensive roster that should have all gamers everywhere tingling with excitement. We can only pray that actually it was all a big joke, and it will indeed be released here tomorrow.

Woaaaaaah!!! Dude!!!
That game looks to be one of the biggest and best of the year upon release.
If it's as playable as Smash Bros. Melee... then its a legend in the making
Definately got to be one to preorder.
Do you reckon that there will be any characters added on top of these in the end?
Imagine if new characters could be downloaded direct to the game...

if I remember correctly, at some point it was confirmed that stage updates will be available. Not sure if they'd be free or to be bought with points though. I can imagine at some point if the fans pester, a character update can be expected.
Disappointing they removed Roy - he was the joke character I beat people with in Melee.

I have since seene vidence of more characters, including Wolf O'Donnel and all of the Melee character that aren't already on there. I'll make a new news post at the end of the week, when most of the lucky Japanese owners will have already completed the game.
