I wouldn't be too sure about that yet, maybe the number is adjustable.

I never really used Ice Climbers but I'm glad their back.

I agree 100% with Dark_Noob, i never really used Ice Climbers, but it's cool their back. Better them than annoying clones like Dr.Mario and Pichu.

Wow, I thought they confirmed Ice Climbers weren't coming back! Bah, stupid Game Informer. Well, at least Ice Climbers is an original character, probably the most original in the game.

yay for Ice Climbers being back.

I used them alot before, they're not that bad

Nice surprise.

cool update. They look better now, moe detail on the clothes

if there back that means that Roy might come back...its only a possibility.

HA! finally!!! to prove that retarded rumor wrong!
that means that that whole interview was utter Bullshit! good!
that means that there wont be 2-3 more 3rd party characters since really sakurai never wanted any in the 1st place...
Ridley, WWLink... good luck to you... but ur not confirmed by a longshot!
Mr. Game and Watch.... he'll be back

Yeah, I'm glad they're back too, I had constantly heard the rumor that Ice Climbers and Game and Watch were going to be gone. I'm glad that the rumor isn't true, Ice Climbers are one of the most original characters in the game, and I love playing as Game and Watch every now and then, so hopefully he'll come back. He was cool because he was flat, it made him stand out more amongst the other characters on Melee.

Lol I win.

A surprising update though, since I thought the Cap'n would be next revealed. I'm not the biggest fan of Ice Climbers, but am happy to see them back. They were so original that it would be a waste if they were thrown away. And this means that that article was wrong. Although I still hope Dr. Mario and Young Link don't return, because unlike Pichu, Falco, Ganondorf, and Roy, they really are clones (ie: the same character) of Mario and Link. Mr. Game and Watch...I couldn't care less, but I do think he'll return.

So yes, go Ice Climbers!

I don't want to see Dr. Mario of Young Link back either, they really were just Mario and Link, just a waste of space. At least Falco, Ganondorf and the other clones were actually representing their own unique character except for the fact that they shared the exact same moves as other characters. I'm really hoping Falco comes back, he was my personal favorite and character of choice on Melee, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed, if not that's cool

yay, I love The Snow guys!

I loved this game ! The game that you would retain all the skills you copied once at least once was my favorite. I liked the Birdon, Wheelie, TAC, Biospark and Simirror skills the most. I tried to find that game to buy it but last time I saw it it was almost ten years ago.

I hope Captain Falcon is gonna be in... and he better not be a secret...

Ice Climbers were cool, I chose them from time to time. I wish one of the Animal Crossing characters would be playable. At least there's an Animal Crossing stage. Got to love those Animalitos.

OMG Poncho where were you ?

Poncho my brethren....how've you been? Long time man...

I also think their should be an animal crossing character that's playable. Afterall, we've got the theme song, the stage, the appearances, etc. - so it would only make sense. I wouldn't be surprised.

Hm... I wonder if they'll give a mode where you can put in your own music or something....

Mmmmm..............I don't know.

Doesn't seem appropriate in such a game. That would be more appropriate for such games such as Def Jam or something like it.

Ive been good, just stopped by to see what was new, as I can see its not any better, Im usually on some other boards now.

Anyways staying on topic... Also if non of the animal crossing characters are playable at least have them pop in and do damage.

Update: Item - Golden Hammer

and, I guess the Golden Squeaky Hammer.

Sick, you can float in midair with this one.

Looks very cool, the floating concept is great.
