The DS can connect wirelessly to the Wii.  It does that with Pokémon Battle Revolution.

just play it in mute and it'll be fine.

p.s. final smashes

What kind of lame update was today's?  Or was this a prview for Donky Kong Country Wii that slipped into the dojo?

probably the opening to one of the Emissary deals I guess???

I liked it, although it didn't reveal shit.

It was a neat video. I think we've already seen it somwehre though? Right? I swear I saw another version that had 1P DONKEY KONG and 2P DIDDY KONG labels when the screen froze.

It leaves me wondering about the partner mode for the Subspace Emissary. It seems like preset combinations (DK and Diddy, Mario and Luigi, Link and Zelda, etc) will have cool introduction videos, but what about other combinations? If me and a friend play with Samus and Lucas, will there be an introduction video for that, too?

Or would it be some generic clips for the individual characters. Would the game developers make a different badass intro video for every possible combination?

It appears to be rendered in-game so it wouldn't be that far-fetched.

Um, actually no. They've already announced that you don't choose characters really going into to the 1P mode. For example: In the begining you choose either Mario or Kirby and fight against whoever you didn't choose. Then, as that person, you fight Petey Pirhanna and save, by breaking the container, either Peach of Zelda. Then you're a 2 person team fighting as you get blown off of the Halberd. Then, you're Pit, who later meets up with whoever you DIDN'T pick in the very beginning. You have limited choices in the beginning but later and later in you get to build up you're 2-player teams differently every time. You can choose to be Pit or, say, Kirby if you picked Mario originally! And the second player is helping you. If it's a friend, they help you, and if they fall behind they get 'sped up' to the screen.

Also yeah we have seen this video plus more content from that level.

Yes CheesyDoritos but I also thought that after you've beaten the first game you'd have unlocked all the characters and can play as whoever you want from the beginning.

Hmm... That'd definitely be a cool option, but that'd be a TON of animations! Also it wouldn't make much sense for, say, Meta Knight and Wario to be jumping out of the forest following a truck filled with bananas.

Which is why I was thinking they might do separate animations for each team. Like Meta Knight and Wario would have Wario riding in his motorcycle in the desert and the Halberd lands in front of him and then they rush into the distance together or something.

Anyway- I'm glad that Break the Targets is confirmed. And with multiple stages for each character- nice.

Replays is a cool bonus.

forward+b is INNOVATION ATTACK where your character has to do gimmicky bullshit to be markettable now!

Hahaha! Laughed my ass off!

Yeah. We haven't had anything substantial since Sonic week.

I love break the targets, but it's kinda depressing that there are only 5 stages now, as opposed to each character having their own. I guess that would be hard to do with 40 characters though.

Oh shit that sucks. You're right- I read it as being five different maps PER character.

"If you wait a bit, terrain gets drawn in with a few stylus strokes!"

Sounds like you can draw the stage with the DS.
