Oops, I have no idea why I typed that :-X
But really, how is it spelled?

[bluaki]

18 is Darkrai
16 is Supapon

@16: Huh? What game is that?

The Japanese symbols say suKapon, why would it change that letter?

Ash Ketchup? 0_0

He is the main character from Joy Mech Fight
Also Darkrai is a Pokemon in case anyone was wondering

Thanks, and I looked up Joy Mech Fight on Wiki. It says Sukapon there, so I'll stay with that.

I just looked up Darkrai, that's not it either.
The page says だれか/Dareka (in Hiragana symbols, which eliminates any Pokemon name) and according to my Japanese Pokemon game and Wikipedia, it's ダークライ/Dakurai (in Katakana symbols)

Ooops my mistake

Is this an official poll? Because if it is, Banjo and Kazooie might have a chance for getting in the game as the last 3rd party (even though back in the N64 days, they were first party)

Banjo tooie may have been the nest game ever made, and Rare agreed t release some games on the VC to please us wii owners! :O

Tell me your honest opinion, do you think Banjo will make it in?

[Nintendude92]

Banjo and Kazooie FTW. I really hope.. Doubtful, though.
