All Brawl needs is the Paper Boy character and the game will truly be great.

Anyone think they can translate the lyrics? I'm extremely curious.

Oh my God, I just realized; Uematsu composing the Zelda theme.

I...I don't think I'm ready. :tpg:

Confirm please. I was looking forward to Kondo....

It's the Weekly Famitsu Column "Masahiro Sakurai's Thoughts About Games"
Reproduced with permission from volumes 130`vol.132. Very interesting read.

Also, I don't think Uematsu is doing the soundtrack to the whole game.

WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU MORONS TALKING ABOUT MUSIC WISE.

THIS IS THE GODSEND OF MUSIC. AND THIS WAS BEFORE I FOUND OUT IT WAS COMPOSED BY NOBUO UEMATSU.

ALSO I WANT KINGDOM HEART'S SORA, but even that's looking pretty slim. :(

Crud, I had my hopes up for that. Koji Kondo/Hirokazu Ando/etc. will do just as good, IMO.

If Hamauzu or D. Bergeaud had wrote it or something I might be jumping for joy, but I'm not gonna cream my pants over Squenixes sloppy seconds.

OMG NOBOU, Get that FF shit out of here. It's good, but I liked the original better. I hope he doesn't do the rest of the music, I might have to forget about even buying the game if he does.

If Ando is onboard, we're in for a fucking treat.

Indeed! Looks like Mr. Sakurai deserves some kudos :)

Wow. I'm impressed. Now this is the reason to buy the Wii. Holy crap! Freaking Solid Snake in this game! I'm guessing if there's gonna be one more MGS character in this game (obviously as a secret) it's either gonna be Gray Fox or Raiden. If they decide to have a female MGS character, I'm guessing The Boss or Meryl.

If there's two non-Nintendo characters I'd love to see make an appearance in this game, it would have to be Classic Megaman and Zero (Rockman Zero series version).

As for Nintendo characters, now that Wario's in the roster, Waluigi's probably going to be in it, no doubt about it. Ack, I can't really think of any other Nintendo characters that should appear at the moment...

Maybe they'll throw some new Wii people in there, like the huge robot from HAMMER or the guy from Day of Crisis.

This game needs more Megaman, please.

Still, it looks real good.

That trailer was awesome. Its nice to see they've updated the character looks (although I didn't really notice anything for Pikachu or Kirby).

As for Uematsu composing IGN has posted this:

Here's hoping that Sonic and Crono make it in too. *crosses fingers*

Like the rest of you, I was surprised that Snake is in SSBB. One

word: awesome. Nintendo just pwned everyone.

Dear lord what glory awaits us on the day that we can see:

JIGGLYPUFF VS. SOLID SNAKE

Keep an eye on this page. Its header says: E3 2006: Fans Asked to Fill Smash Bros. Roster.

404 error. Page seems to have disappeared or something.

Right now it's the second one, so it's still being written, perhaps.

"Nintendo Wiins 2006!!!"

Nintendo wins everything.

This is awesome in too many ways to name.
Can't wait to play as Meta Knight. *goes to watch the trailer another fifty or so times*

Also, apparently the game will offer standard control and motion control. Didn't see that mentioned here yet. Awesome news.

Wow. Very nice. Too bad it's not coming out until 2007 =/

Now just tell me that there's another Earthbound character and an Advance Wars character or two, and I'm ecstatic. Those "Smash Bros. Logo Special Attack Orbs" just scream CO Power to me, so here's hoping.

I hope to hell there's going to an english version of this Fan Survey.

Oh hell yeah, preach it! I'd buy a Wii even if this was the only game on the system at this point... I'm going to be a mess now until they actually release this game in 2007.

I've creamed myself. Multiple times.

And had several heart attacks, too.

God FUCKING DAMN.

Nintendo is going to fucking kill me with sheer awesomeness soon.

All they need right now is to give out a price point and I am in heaven.

LITERALLY.

I just made a post in the conference discussion thread that points to what is hopefully a true leak of the price at $249. Check it out.

If it turns out they're going to let fans submit characters they want to appear, then I've already got a list going on in my head. I'm thinking the biggest legends in gaming history should appear. Mega Man (the original, even though I love X), Simon Belmont, Sonic, and so on.
