Dojo Update: Snake Joins The Brawl, and Shadow Moses Island

We get a double dose of Snakeyness today, with the gameplay video shown at TGS two weeks ago (now with English voice acting!), and the Shadow Moses Island stage!

The video shows some of Snake's normal attacks, grabs, and specials in action, all the while David Hayter grunts away (oh yeah, I totally forgot to tell you that David Hayter is voicing Snake in the game). It's pretty neat. As well, there are some things I noticed:

-I'm guessing Snake's Box is a special, as Mario is able to pick it up and throw it.
-Are we implying that some form of pre-battle introductions are back are back?
-Bubble noises are funny



Shadow Moses Island, based on Metal Gear Solid, has plenty of features: towers that lock you into the stage until you break them, a searchlight that prompts the "!" whenever it catches a character, and the impromptu appearance of Metal Gear REX, RAY, and apparently a new model.

Also included in the post are three great CODEC conversations Snake has with his allies about the other characters in Brawl. Colonel's matter-of-fact description of Wario's abilities is great, although so is Snake and Otacon arguing about whether Yoshi is male or female.

"I am not kidding."

They do mention Wario's bite moves, which is almost certainly the one where his head swells up like we've seen in screenshots. It kind of looked like Snake through something into Wario's mouth while he was doing this in the first movie. Maybe he can suck in items? They also say that Wario can "fly around while farting". His recovery move, I'm guessing.

Today was fun.
