New Magazine Cover

[Grim Spandango]

Sorry if this has been posted already, but there's a magazine cover for Nintendo Magazine out of Europe. It's essentially just a bigger version of the boxart, but there are more characters and strange shadows. Let the speculation begin.

Here's a link to it: http://www.officialnintendomagazine.co.uk/

Here's a closeup of the image:

Why is Link so emphasized on that picture? I don't like it.

 

[Phlemingo]

I think I see Donatello

 

[Grim Spandango]

Because everyone loves Link!

 

[silver777]

Some of the characters have their official artwork from the dojo....

and Link is awesome.

 

[Soluble Toast]

All the shadows in the background are confirmed characters. There's 1 on the far right that I can't make out though , also, I don't know who the large character furthest away is =S
The un-clear ones at back are Dk and Bowser though.
Darnnn =[

 

[Grim Spandango]

The one behind Charizard looks like Petey Piranha. Andross is also on the very edge of the right hand side above Ike and below Metaknight's wing. Below Andross is Zamus, but I don't know what the thing is to the left of Andross. Also the thing below Charizard and above Snake looks like Mewtwo, but I think it's either Squirtle or Torchic.

Quick! Start looking for unconfirmed characters!

Who's to the left of Ike?

 

[SirroMinus1]

i would want this picture as a poster

Yeah, I was thinking it was Petey too. You can sort of see the outlines of the petals

Who's to the left of Ike?

That would be Bowser.

 

[silver777]

the only traditional artwork there is Mario, Link and Red...

 

[DekuBoy]

It is petey piranha you cas see the petelers...

BTW it is Orendus and dispropoused... like the supoused "oficial artbox for brawl"

 

[LegendOfGeno]

There are a few things about this cover,

The first is why is Yoshi so far back in the crowd? as well as Sonic
(Sonic is probably a mystery character)

The second is Charizard looks very pissed off

The third is if you look real close behind Charizard there are "shadow" figures, this could represent the fact that there are still a handful of characters to come

Finally, is that Geno waving to us back there? =P

 

[Grim Spandango]

Are you talking about the one with it's hand up? That's Diddy Kong.

 

[Shuma]

"Who's to the left of Ike?"

Zamus and Andross AT, there's nothing new there.

Large shadow I can't make out, probably not meant to be anything specific

I still think there is something to the right of the ICs that I cannot make out...
Yoshi
Sonic
Diddy, I see it now
DK
Bowser
Ike
Something I can't make out, is that Zamus?
Andross AT as people are saying.

Only confirmed character I don't see is Dedede.... I think

 

[LegendOfGeno]

Okay, I see that now :embarrass

 

[Shuma]

"The third is if you look real close behind Charizard there are "shadow" figures"

 

[Frogla]

the thing above snake and under charizard are the ice climbers

 

[Black/Light]

Why is Link so emphasized on that picture? I don't like it.

I agree. . . Mario should be there.
And why the hell is Char so fare away from Red?

 

[Cyberbot5000]

I have the magazine but we cant be sure there proper characters at the back as they could just be random silhouettes

 

[Colenstien]

Who are you?

 

[Gomolka]

This looks pretty sick... this just makes my anticipation level for Brawl +10 points.

 

[Black/Light]

Who are you?

Zero's gun

 

[Phlemingo]

Who are you?

Answer: Zero Suit Samus's gun

 

[Gomolka]

Good find btw.

 

[Shuma]

@Colestein:

That's Zamus Gun.

 

[LegendOfGeno]

So, is that Petey or just a darn good guess? I thought it was just a clump of shadows that represent the more characters to come

 

[Shuma]

It's just Petey's petals, there's nothing new in that pic guys. Not even triple D is there.

 

[smashmaniac16]

megaman?? ??

 

[BOZO500]

I got this magazine today!!!
THEY GOT A PREVIEW DISC OF BRAWL WITH ALL CONFIRMED CHARACTERS PLAYABLE!!!

I'M JEALOUS AS HELL!!!

so your saying you got a preview disc? or what? if yah did, proof! haha

 

[silver777]

Oh...I just realized DDD isn't there...

 

[M.K]

Can't someone photoshop the image and REDUCE THE **** LIGHTING?

 

[LegendOfGeno]

Yeah, where is King Dedede?

Maybe he is one of the "unknown shadows"

 

[Chaosblade77]

so your saying you got a preview disc? or what? if yah did, proof! haha

He meant THEY got a preview disk, not they gave one out.

 

[Grim Spandango]

I kinda thought the Petey Piranha clump was the Master Hand at first...at least his knuckles. Wait a minute...KNUCKLES CONFIRMED!
