1up is on the ball with some news about freshly-annointed members of the Brotherhood of the Smash:

Sakurai announced Bowser Jr., the "Celda" version of Link, and Ridely, the archenemies of Samus, would all be joining the cast of characters for the Wii release.

This makes sense considering Bowser Jr. has had more prominent placement in various Mario sports titles, as well as being his dad's right hand man in New Super Mario Bros., and the "Celda" version of Link was seen on GameCube and now on the Nintendo DS in The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass. Plus, with both Samus and Zero Suit Samus appearaning in SSBB, it makes sense her foe would get a chance to fight back.

Also announced were some cuts, including Young Link, the Ice Climbers, and Mr. Game & Watch. Farewell, my fallen Smash Brethren. Flights of angels sing thee to thy rest. Eliza gauger
