Yet, a question here... What would "Captain Falcon" mean, then? A title now taken by Rick Wheeler, or just keep it as in the original?

By Nintendo's canon, Captain Falcon is one person, not a title handed down from one person to the next. So no, it's unlikely Captain Falcon will become a Spiky-Haired, Over-Energetic, Unskilled, Cocky, Inexperienced, Wide-Eyed Anime Stereotype.

The way I see it - F-Zero games and Pokémon games operate on the same system. The original F-Zero canon, which is made up by F-Zero, F-Zero X and F-Zero GX, is strung along on the consoles, while all the Crappy Unplayable Spinoffs are reserved for the handhelds. Pokémon games, meanwhile, reserve the main canon along the handhelds (RBY, GSC, RuSaEm, DP), while the only thing consoles get are either decent games without storylines (Snap, Stadium) or crap games with par storylines (Colosseum). (Although, Pokémon, being a much larger franchise than F-Zero, is also prone to spillage and winds up with crap games on handhelds as well (Dash, Mystery Dungeon, Ranger).

So I don't anticipate any of that diarrhetic anime garbage seeping into a console F-Zero game.

I actually liked F-Zero Falcon Legend, if only because it has some of the most game-faithful action scenes I've seen in an adaptation, right up there with Kirby and Pokemon. I also liked the differences in some of the character designs, particularly Goroh and Captain Falcon, specifically for his larger, squarer, more golden shoulder pad, and his new aviator suit with gold buttons as opposed to spandex with nipple covers. For some reason, the idea of there being multiple Captain Falcons strikes me as epic, in the same way that there are multiple Links and multiple Donkey Kongs.

So this is fake, then?

There isn't anything to prove that, but since it didn't appear at Nintendo's conference, I'm assuming so.

The fact that we've gotten no proof (plus the fact it appeared on some random blog nobody ever heard of), means its fake.

The real F-Zero Wii better not have weapons. I don't really like the sound of that. But Ninty should take cues from the rest of that list.
