Dojo Update: Diddy Kong's Special Moves + Conference Tomorrow?

Now we get a hard look at the two special moves mentioned in Diddy's intro. And they've really gone out of their way to make these things as interesting as possible.


The Peanut Popgun is pretty much as expected, with one or two unexpected aspects. One, you can increase the speed of your shots (which I take to mean rapidfire) by holding the button. But if you hold down the button too long, your gun explodes.

As well, any cracked shells may reveal a peanut, which can be used as a healing item.



The Rocketbarrel Boost also seems to be as expected. You can charge it to increase your height, and tilting the control stick can change your flight trajectory. However, what was not envisioned was that if you get knocked off your jetpack, they will sometimes fly off on their own, presumably causing damage to everyone it's path.

Of course, the Animal Crossing gang finds this all terribly amusing. Does this mean they actually react to the fight?

In other news, there's been talk that Nintendo is holding some sort of meeting tomorrow to discuss their October-December lineup (which includes Brawl, remember). Is this a chance to get another trailer? Only time can tell.
