Today's update was about the name tags. Of course we all know what they do, however several important things can be picked out from this update.

1. The screenshots show that the background of the game will take a much lighter tone than that of melee, and it appears that your tag will be connected to a character

2. The update states that button configurations will be chooseable! BUTTON CONFIGURATION, as in you can select which buttons do what, meaning this game could have infinate control possibilities

3. The site also concludes that it'd be possible to bring your data on your remote, does that mean that online play could be a sort of co-op type thing as with most online xbox games, where multiple people can log on from one system, but by using your own tag you wouldn't just be GMR (1) like in a Halo game and you'd be using your own game data

4. Just to add to a character being connected to your profile, can we go ahead and say that we can use characters that are not yet unlocked on our friend's system if we go and play at their house

5. It states names are extremely important, will this name be our screen name for online play, does the tag have a more important role than what we could have thought of?

I don't know about you guys, but this update seems to me to be one of the most if not the most important update thus far, any comments?

One correction I must make. They didn't SAY you would BE ABLE to carry the information in your Wii-Mote. They said they might be able to implement that kind of system for the game, but if not, they apologize. =P

Well, obviously they are TRYING, and WANT to IMPLEMENT it. They just said that IN CASE it didn't work FOR SOME STRANGE REASON.

Sadly, I will need to tote around my wii mote and my gamecube controller, so I will probably just use the defaults because they are like melee, probably.. If they are not, I will make it so that they are like melee :)
