Yeah, when I read that post it was Donkey Kong fighting Pikmin... But I'd seen the KI screenshot before, and yeah, it looks awesome. It'll be one hell of a letdown if Viridi DOESN'T show in some form now.
Also I guess Sakurai said no to an SSE style story mode since I guess he didn't want people to just leak the cutscenes out online, so the Adventure mode will be more like it was in Melee again.
That's actually fairly old news, that any FMV such as Mega Man's reveal will be available from the start and not be unlocked as part of the single player. (which Destructoid recently decided to repost recently under the misinterpretation that there would be no such videos of any kind)
I dunno, I actually liked SSE. But I seem to be in the minority on that one. Melee's adventure struck me as essentially an alternate Classic Mode that stretched out of its comfort zone. I mean, the Mario and Zelda levels are the only ones that really felt "adventure"y. Non-random enemies and a couple race-to-the-finish courses made it arguably more "Classic" than the actual Classic mode. It just didn't have Master Hand is all.
But I will say this: The one thing I did miss from Melee's adventure was that Yoshi's egg lay was an instant-kill on stage enemies.
