We posted, ok I posted, yesterday about a Japanese magazine called CoroCoro, announcing Shiek in Brawl. I was a little hasty to jump on it, and it turns out the translation was wrong. Here’s really what the info was:

1. (mario) MarioFS: (mario fainaru) mario final
Description: A fireball so huge that it swallows up the entire screen. Difficult to avoid.
Point: It shoots from the left to the right side of the screen so it engulfs everyone.

Neutral: (faia booru) fire ball
Up: (suupaa jyanpu panchi) super jump punch
Side: (suupaa manto) super cape
Down: (ponpu) pump

2. (kaabi) Kirby

FS: (cokku) cook
Description: An attack that dumps all your opponents in a pressure cooker. When the stew is ready everyone comes flying out. Collect your KO’s.
Point: Items also come flying out of the pot. Dig in!

Neutral: (suikomu) inhale
Up: (fainnaru katta) final cutter
Side: (hanmaa) hammer
Down: (sutoon) stone

3. (pikachuu) Pikachu

FS: (borutekkaa) volt tackle
Description: Pikachu becomes a large ball of light. Go crash in to your enemies. It is possible to freely control the movement of the ball for a limited time.
Point: Be careful not to fall off the stage when then the effect wears off.

Neutral: (dengeki) lightning attack
Up: (denkou sekka) greased lightning
Side: (roketto zutsuki) rocket charge
Down: (kaminari) thunder

4. (donkii kongu) Donkey Kong

FS: (taru kongo biito) barrel congo beat
Description: The barrel congo’s destructive sound can deliver damage to all your opponents.
Point: Match the button pushing to the music and the power goes up.

Neutral: (jyaianto punchi) giant punch
Up: (supiningu kongu) spinning kong
Side: (donkii heddo batto) donkey head butt
Down: (hando surappu) hand slap

SUMMARY

– Matt’s new beard was grown because he likes to grow a beard when he puts on weight during christmas to confirm his weight gain. Once he loses the weight, his beard will be lost as well.

Game of the Year
– Winner was Super Mario Galaxy.
– This was the first time that the Nintendo editors did not take part in the discussion – they only submitted their votes. However, they did play all of the contenders.
– Craig and Matt voted for Galaxy, but Bozon voted for Call of Duty 4 because he loves multiplayer FPS.
– Call of Duty 4, Bioshock and Mass Effect were all deserving of winning, though Mass Effect less so due to its technical issues.
– Such an incredible year of gaming that the decision was very hard to make compared to previous years – at least 5 games would have automatically been 2006 GOTY.
– Surprised that Bioshock didn’t win any of the major awards.

CES
– Matt’s one of IGN’s tech-nuts.
– Looked around the Apple and MAC areas as well as TV and projectors.
– There would be lots of worthless Wii accessories – there was a Cooking Mama accessory which changed the controller into a fork, a Zelda sword and shield that blocked the IR, and a Trauma Centre scapel add-on.
– Found it pretty boring – gets worse and worse everywhere, and always bring back old products rather than E3 which bring in new ones.
