Nintendo's DS printed enough moneys for them to shell out the cash to hire all these composers, that is my guess. Also, the composers and the titles they have been credited with are a good hint at what sort of stuff we can expect in the game.

I mean... Shimomura, Mitsuda, Iwadare, Sakuraba,

It's almost unthinkable!

... FUCK!. I CAME.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

They likely will... in fact given that Link is in his TP appearance, Zelda might also be in HER TP appearance, and they might even throw in Midna in some form. That's just my guess though.

I also heard a rumour that they were going to swap out Kid Link from SSBM with the Cellshaded Link from uh, the gamecube game. The name escapes me at the moment..

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Ridley's Boss Theme: FUCK YEAH!

Its more likely that each character will have their traditional rival to fight.
Samus -> Ridley
Mario -> (Giga?)Bowser
Bowser -> (Paper/Metal/???) Mario
Snake -> METAL GEAR (!?)
Luigi -> Daisy ( )

and so on and so forth.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

10.10.07. NEVER FORGET. INTERNET EXPLODES.

I've not been in this thread much since /v/ has provided much of the lulz, but seriously, this is... wow. I'll be playing a game with Solid Snake, Mario and Sonic, all at the same time.

There is no way I am not getting a Wii, and this game now.

Taking a breath here for a moment, several other things confirmed, or likely to be confirmed by Sonic's inclusion and the movie:

- Sonic related Item (Bumpers, Rings, Speed Shoes?, Tiny Robot Animals?)
- Sonic related stage. PLEASEBECASINOPLEASEBECASINOPLEASEBECASINO
- Assist Trophies (Big The Cat, Tails, Shadow, etc.,)
- Sonic related Theme
- Subspace Emmisary Sonic related Boss (Eggman?)

- Pokemon: Kyogre (sp?), the fire bird starter, Snorlax,
- Other: Sandbag Trophy, Fusion Samus Trophy, the female Kong and Banana Trophies,
Lucas having some sort of ability that is not copied from Ness.

This was a nice pose I thought, in the video:


I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

It'd be funny if that was really the case and I'm not just seeing things.

I'd be perfectly happy with Chemical Zone. What I was thinking (when I said that) was that A classic stage from one of the Genesis games would be completely awesome, and The Casino stage was the first that came to mind. Articulation is hard when I'm shocked I guess.

I'm not even a large Sonic fan, but the inclusion of his character opens up the possibility to even more third party characters, which I'm sure most people would approve of.

I was speaking idiomatically.

I guess Game & Watch could be a 'hidden' character, as there's no guarantee that all the items and characters listed so far are all that will appear in the game.

I wonder what tonight's Japan Time will be...? Probably Sonic's Theme or an Item/Assist Trophy.
Where's Captain Falcon?

The new official release date for Super Smash Bros. Brawl in the United States is February 10, 2008, according to information announced at a Nintendo meeting event currently in progress in San Francisco.

Sooo Goodness!!!!

Its pretty easy, at least with youtube videos:

And of course, you would insert the video URL in between.
After doing that, this is the result:

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

SPOILERAN GAEMS

In all seriousness though, this stage should be fun to play, its huge, there's an Ultimate Chimera (Whatever that is), and we MIGHT get Mother 3 over here in the US if we're lucky. IMO We need more City Stages like this.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Smashing the Sandbag was a fun time-waster and I expect this version to be no different. Wifi on that mode is a nice bonus =D

There's nowhere I can't reach.

The funny thing is that at the bottom, Sakurai comments:

Maybe if you check the Japanese version of Smash Bros. Dojo you can find out...

Now, I'm not 100% certain this is true, but supposedly in the Japanese Page, he says something to the effect of "I wonder what they call it overseas..."
Can anyone who reads Japanese confirm this?

On the subject of Meowth itself, Needs more Team Rocket

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Does anyone know if the color-scheme changes are actually going to change the costume a bit, or is it just a color-swap like last time?

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Actually, I could see the update now for announcing how hidden characters
will be revealed:

"[GAME MODE] - A CHALLENGER APPEARS!

<Image>
"Eh? Is this another new character?

Not exactly. At various points during Smash, you will
come across an opportunity to fight against a hidden opponent,
who will join your ranks should you be able to defeat them!
Some of them are new and some of them are returning veterans.

For this update, we have decided to unveil Luigi's return to Brawl!

<image>
Luigi's silhouette!

<image>
And here he is on the Battlefield Stage, pitted against his brother, Mario!

<image>
I-Its an Epic Duel.

So, be on the lookout for Challengers when they appear, or you might not be able
to get all of the combatants! I wonder who else will appear?"

I was speaking idiomatically.

I'm going to be a rebel and ride the bike the first time I use the Smash.

SAKURAI, YOU CAN'T HOLD ME BACK!

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Well its Official, I pre-ordered the game @ Gamestop.

Now for a 2~ month wait. I'll be very distracted with a million other things until then so no biggie.
I wish they'd get some more level or character announcements in. Final Smashes are nice, but a lot of the stuff lately has been fluff.

FELIPE NO

I don't mind this update, at least it takes some of the guess-work out of who plays next and all that. I wonder how this will be applied to big Tournaments with lots of other fighting games? (You know,
like EVO and the Tournaments they have in Japan n' shit?)

lol @ all the pissed off comments:

Smash Bros. DOJO!!

Yes, she is returning. Default outfit is from Twilight Princess.
Sheik is unconfirmed at this point.

Also: Snake Kirby = FUCK WIN

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I don't know about the others, but this fan-edit seems like a close approximation.



Personally though, I think in the game, Kirby would also turn light blue.

Possibly. One thing I could imagine is like this:

"GAME MODE - HOLIDAY CHEER"

"Eh, A Christmas Tree in Smashville? What is this?"

<image>
"That's right. Depending on the Wii's internal Clock, during big festive holidays
the look and feel of the characters as well as the levels will change to match!"

<image>
"I-Its Jolly St. Nick!"

"This also depends on what country your Wii is registered in, as some countries have holidays that others do not. For example, Japan has several holidays that the United States or Europe doesn't."

<image> (Mario in a Kimono)
"Its a bit dangerous, but if you change the region and date manually in the Wii's settings, you can check out right away what surprises are in store, but BE CAREFUL! Its better to just check out the changes naturally"

<image>
"Oh, and Happy Holidays to all Smash Bros Brawl fans!"

----------------

Oh, and I'm glad that (Potentially) other characters can have special costumes and not just pallete swaps.
That would be kind of a downer if it was just Wario though.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Shoot, I would have at least been nice to have some sort of Special message for Christmas. Oh well, guess Sakurai is a scrooge.

Angel Island Zone is in the music, so I can't complain much =)

I was speaking idiomatically.

If they're showing off stuff we've seen in the other trailers (Sonic's Final Smash for instance), what are the odds of other Assist Trophies, such as the Advance Wars guys, showing up for a proper Japan Time reveal?

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Since I've done this before. My take on how Jackson might be introduced to Smash (Not very likely, but hey, one can imagine):

"[image]
Eh? Michael J-J-Jackson!?

Yes the famous 'King of Pop' has graciously decided to arrive for the Brawl!

Mr. Jackson was once was in a videogame called "Moonwalker", which was based on a very long music-video he produced,
so there will be some moments from the video seen in his Smash Debut!

[image]
Here, Michael uses his powerful "Moon-Walker" attack to hop back to the ledge. Hope he slides fast enough!

[image]
Uh-oh! here comes trouble! Michael looks flushed.

[image]
Mr. Jackson's Final Smash will really surprise you! It'll be a thrill... Oh I might have given it away!"


Oh and if he was put into the game, I imagine the tiny icon next to him would either be a Glove, or a Fedora Hat

As far as the last Update goes, I think its a bit... unnecessary? I mean he could have easily just said "There will be a chance for the Trophy of the enemy to drop, but it will only appear in certain times" or something like that. Just seems like its an unneeded extra step.

Sure, it still depends on where you go but while most folks were scrambling for the US release most didn't even care about the Japanese release. You can be sure that come the day of release of Brawl all the secrets will be out within 2 days and most videogame forums will flare up with this news immediately. This kind of alertness wasn't nearly as much when Melee came out.

To illustrate the point, the Game Informer magazine published a lot of tid bits and secrets and general trivia and helpful stuff for Melee soon after it came out, and it was the first place that I found out about a lot of the stuff (I mean, No duh on unlockable characters, but other stuff was more elusive).

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

For more character speculation, I wonder if they'll include the WW/PH LINK (Cel-shaded), or Paper Mario? If they included Doctor Mario previously, Paper Mario would be a possability, plus the move list would be closer to Game & Watch's style. (And on that note, an Assist Trophy of Fawul would be just... well probably not very assisting at all! lol ).

Edit: I meant the character Link, from the WW/PH Zelda Games.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
