There are rumors flying around that new characters for hotly anticipated Wii title Super Smash Bros. Brawl will be unveiled at Nintendo's upcoming Nintendo World 2006 exhibition in Japan. They are not true.
Here's where it's coming from -- designer Masahiro Sakurai's official Smash blog, which says (in the Japanese):
Apparently a few first-year Japanese students are looking at the beginning of this paragraph, seeing the construction shin-kyara ("new characters") and assuming the rest of the sentence says WILL BE REVEALED!!!1 when what it actually says is "For the first time, the general public will be able to see the new characters moving around in actual game screens!" So basically it just means real-time game footage with the characters that were already revealed. Cool -- but not what they're saying it is.
