The official Smash Bros. Dojo website has been updated with a character profile of everyone's favorite cardboard box transvestite, Solid Snake. But don't expect Snake to be sporting gats. From the character profile:

After much consideration, we decided to have Snake refrain from using real-world guns—instead, he'll use lots of explosives.

We assume this is some misguided side-step towards more politically correct Nintendo family friendliness. But if you're really worried about the emulating instinct of small, stupid children, bombs are just as bad. And Wario's atomic flatulence attack? At least most households don't have a Baretta or a cabinet full of nitroglycerine, but every fat gaming child has an intestine full of methane and access to an open flame. Expect the first burnt rectum class action lawsuit against Nintendo shortly after the game's release. FLORIAN ECKHARDT
