This console, believed to be code-named "Project Cafe", is rumored to be a powerful machine, boasting bigger and badder specifications than either the Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3.

According to Nintendo president Satoru Iwata, "We would like to propose a new approach to home video game consoles." But don't look for that to include 3D.

The Wii successor is also suspected of using a novel controller interface which marries a traditional d-pad-and-buttons scheme with a large touch-screen input. Kotaku also reported that while the new console will feature a new controller, it will also support Wii Remote-style controllers.

Mattrizzle: Thanks for the link. I had almost found the addresses of the palettes when I read your post, so then I went a little further and sure enough it was the same addresses you had. I had also been wondering if there was anything that could be done about Luigi, so that's really nice to know. Now just to figure out the ceremony palettes.

As I think Segway has mentioned, I believe I have found the location of the AI racer order for each player driver. I was looking randomly through the ROM for free space and stumbled across it. At address 1EE97 we have the following bytes:

08 00 06 00 0E 00 02 00 0C 00 04 00 0A 00 00 00
0E 00 00 00 04 00 0A 00 06 00 08 00 0C 00 02 00
00 00 02 00 06 00 0E 00 08 00 0C 00 0A 00 04 00
04 00 0C 00 00 00 08 00 02 00 0E 00 0A 00 06 00
0C 00 04 00 0A 00 02 00 06 00 00 00 0E 00 08 00
02 00 0E 00 06 00 00 00 04 00 08 00 0C 00 0A 00
06 00 08 00 00 00 0E 00 02 00 0A 00 04 00 0C 00
0A 00 08 00 06 00 04 00 00 00 0C 00 02 00 0E 00

Swapping numbers on a row (each row corresponds to a racer in the usual order) worked fine for changing it up, but putting duplicates (like an entire row of 00 00's) gives weird results.
