It has happened once. Luigi was revealed August 8th, and Mario and Luigi: Dream Team came out on the 11th in NA.

Pic of the day. Tomorrow is Valentine's Day...and the day the new Nintendo Direct airs! It will stream in Japan at 7 AM so it's going to be a very early morning for us...!
She looks like Mister Bill. Do we really need a 'realistic' or more animu peach?
Why do only the female characters become more 'realistic'? Can you imagine Wario like that?
Because they already look more proportional human. Mario is a short guy with a big nose. It's hard to make he look semi realistic. Marth and Link however get the "realism" treatment.

Because no newcomer for the Direct and it's a vet that most fans hate.
Myself not included.
What
They have to spin it so it comes out as a net negative after being wrong pound for pound?
I'd take anything from RogersBase with a grain of salt.
That was for the Year of Luigi stuff.
20 minutes of Iwata bowing. 11 minutes of Miyamoto showing off Wii U Music Concert. 10 minutes of Reggie talking about liking DQ7.
Great, I just killed half the Earth's population for nothing.
Time to bust out the gravitational field.
You forgot the "looks awkwardly at a piece of fruit" part.
Well, this is the Year of Diddy after all.

They're gonna announce the Year of K. Rool. It's obvious.
Haha I would hope not. They need to continue to pull out all the stops now.

That's what I suspected. I guess they are saving up newcomers for unlockable or E3 Direct, BUT we could have more than one character reveal today tho.
Edited: People saying that Ice Climbers would make sense for Valentine Reveal, then what about Diddy and Dixie team?
With valentines day + direct, we're most likely getting Diddy and Dixie as the reveals. Though I think they'll be separate characters, the tag team idea still seems really dumb imo.
On a different note, I have a question.
So if Donkey Kong is a gorilla, Diddy is a monkey, Dixie is probably a chimpanzee....what the hell is Candy?

I'm still on the fence about having Diddy and Dixie possibly being a tag team character, but with it being Valentine's Day (ugh) and it coinciding with TF, if there was a CG trailer showcasing them together that'd be really cute.
.I'd much rather Dixie shone on her own, and we all know Diddy isn't going anywhere.

I wouldn't mind a Diddy-Dixie tag-team, depending on how they do it. If it's like the Ice Climbers I'm not on board - I think that ends up cheapening Dixie AND and the Climbers. If it's like Zelda/Shiek, or a combination of the two styles (both are on the field but have different movesets and you can swap between them), I'm good with that.
As long as both characters have fully fleshed-out movesets I'm cool with it, in short. DKC2 is definitely on my "best games ever" list so I have no problem with it getting a character all its own.
...I think I'd still prefer them separate, though.

Those of you who play Marvel might already be aware of Dj Dicks, he's got a new song that is extremely relevant to all the Diddy talk.

So will this cause development to slow down because of Sakurai's issues, or will it be rushed so that he can get some rest ASAP?

It sound pretty bad to me so he need to get rest ASAP.

Uh oh.
That's upsetting, I'd be okay with a delay of the game if it means he can get healthier
I don't think it will affect development. Surely there are others working on the game that can help Sakurai out with his duties. Remember that he is the director of the game, but also so very intent on doing all the testing and balancing himself, which is probably why this is so difficult for him. Sad as it may be, Sakurai can just continue being the lead on the game while relegating the testing and balancing to others who won't be in pain while doing in.
I feel for him, but he needs a break. It seems he works rather hard and it's time for someone else to take over some of his duties for now. He doesn't have to be Director / Game Designer/ Tester/ Lead Balancing/ Lead Hitbox Putter inner, but he's so committed that he does all those things.

Unfortunately, this kind of injury is something that would require a pretty long time to rehab. What I see happening is Sakurai roughing out the rest of development on SSB, and then he'll take a break from development period after it's done. That'll be good for him, physically and mentally. But it sucks that such a genius has such a disabilitating condition.
Take a break. Many can wait.
Masked Man
I said wow
Noooo, my poor Sakurai.
I vaguely recall him mentioning this problem around the time that KI:U came out as well, and it's sad to hear that it's getting worse. Part of me just wants Smash to come out so that Sakurai can get the long vacation he so desperately needs--and, frankly, deserves.Pop-O-Matic

That gamespot article offers no new info from when we heard about this a year ago.....
Edit: never mind I didn't read that he posted something recently on his blog.

The condition's spread to his left arm as well.
