[Wii] Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Well it just launched. Sadly no new character announcements yet and only one stage revealed so far and it's the generic 3 platforms and a bottomless pit we saw in the beginning of the first trailer, but the list of musicians is very impressive, there's alot of names there I'd never think to see in the credits. The list also suggests the possibility of Killer7, Meteos, Devil May Cry, Kingdom Hearts etc. characters and stages.

Hopefully next update (if it's ever going to happen) will have some more suprising news.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I'm still waiting for something new and suprising other than the names of the musicians. I can't beleive they even bothered announcing Mario and Link, every time Japan Time comes around I'm less and less suprised. Well if they announce 3 characters a week, we'll be seeing someone new in four weeks at the latest.

I thought that was just a "Hey wouldn't it be cool if..." sort of deal from a fan.

Holy shit, Sonic confirmed for Brawl

Quote:

14:24: Smash Bros. has been delayed in Japan until January 24, 2008.

Nintendo shows a new trailer. Sonic is going to be a playable character! The trailer shows him transforming into Super Sonic.

The game will include online fights. In addition, it will have online cooperative play of some form.

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

I'd like to see Mega Man in Brawl but knowing Capcom they'd want to have the Starforce version for promotional purposes. I'd be surprised if Pac-Man wasn't in the game for Namco.

As for Squenix representation, I don't see what's wrong with generic mascots seeing as how that's what the Pokemon are. I think a moogle would be a good choice. Give him moves based on the Mog dances from FFVI, maybe his B-down could have him slam the save book from FFIX? From a promotional standpoint they might go for Batman from Final Fantasy IV (with a DS remake on the horizon) or someone from FFTA2.

According to the melee character survey a Chocobo was the most requested third-party character (more than Sonic).

It would be great if they would adapt their stats along to your play style.

Now that's a damn good idea. I think they should do something like that (maybe add little more random element) with all the characters to mix it up a little, so there won't be such a huge need for nerfing the overpowered characters like Fox anymore. Nothing too extreme, but sometimes you might get slightly fast Mario, sometimes strong Mario, sometimes floaty Mario, etc. depending on your play style. Of course the tourneyfags would complain but fuck them.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Laughing on line at the omission of release date for Pal region countries. The Grinch already stole Christmas from America, might as well steal next Halloween from Europe as well.

Oh and there's a snapshot mode so you can take upskirt photos of Peach without a capture card now, hooray

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

There’s a character named Ness who has appeared in the Smash Bros. series up until now, and Lucas is very similar. They are from the same family of PK users.

FELIPE NO

False alarm, Ness un-unconfirmed.

Quote:

So until now, I’ve always made sure to include handicaps in each game in the series.

So I guess Sakurai doesn't know what until now means.

Oh, and some shit about handicaps.

Actually that picture with Dixie and the banana man (who's from Kind of Swing) was in one of the trailers. The entire Game Informer preview was done with material from the site.

Shockingly, Europe gets screwed once again for the release date! Who could have possibly imagined?

Hotly anticipated Wii title Super Smash Bros. Brawl won't be coming out in Europe until after June 2008, Nintendo has confirmed to VideoGamer.com.

We thought something was up when we noticed the game was absent from Nintendo's updated schedule, distributed to media this morning. This seemed odd considering Mario Kart Wii, another high-profile first-party Wii game, was listed as coming out in Q2.

When contacted by VideoGamer.com a Nintendo spokesperson revealed that SSBB won't be out until after Q2 in Europe. SSBB is set for release in the US on February 10, 2008 and January 24, 2008 in Japan.

This is obviously bad news for European fans of the series. It means at best we won't be seeing SSBB for a whopping 158 days after its Japanese release, and 141 days after its US release.

The Nintendo spokesperson said: "If the game is not listed on the schedule up until the end of Q2 it is currently not due out until after that time."

You know what to do Europe.

Sure I can:

Captain Falcon.
Ness.

I would have taken just one of those over last month in its entirety. Filler updates are fine until you remember that Captain Falcon hasn't been reconfirmed (we wouldn't even know if F-Zero had any representation at all if it weren't for Goroh) and people are still chomping at the bit hoping Ness will be in. There's also Snake and Zelda's final smashes.

Also mark your calendars December 17 for Megaman's 20th anniversary when he will be confirmed.

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

Well, sound test is a damn good thing, I'm sure that out of the hundreds of people who will be impatient enough to import it from Japan, one of them will rip the soundtrack before it comes over to the US.

That Ice Climbers arrangement is pretty good, I don't know if I like the surfer theme but it beats the hell out of the one from melee, for sure.

Since this is now a Twilight Princess thread

I sort of agree that expectations for a game can ruin it for some people, but having high expectations doesn't affect the quality of the game itself. Twilight Princess had alot of problems and even with low expectations you should be disappointed, because it is a flawed game. I bought it for my brother without the intention of even playing it, I don't think it's possible to have lower expectations about a game than I did, and I was still disappointed in the end.

TP's biggest problem was that it failed to maintain a consistent level of quality from beginning to end. Just look at the entire second half of the game, it's like they just stopped caring. The plot and character development were nonexistent, Zelda and Ganondorf were barely even relevant, the dungeons were out of place, poorly designed and the objectives were the goofy sort of kind that belong in the first half of the game (see: making soup for a yeti, the western village, and the worst dungeon ever, the chicken ranch in the sky), and let's not forget the utterly forgettable score and LACK OF A MAGIC METER WHAT THE FUCK IT'S ON THE BACK OF THE BOX NINTENDO. Juxtapose that with the first half of the game (which was sex) and I don't see how you can't be disappointed.

If anything, TP is the opposite of Ocarina of Time which started out slow and got much better in the second half. It ends on a high note which allows it to mask its flaws whereas Twilight Princess is amazing until it starts going downhill real fast after the desert temple and never recovers. The beginning of any game is what gets you hooked but it's just a warm-up: the meat of the game doesn't start until after halfway through, and the end is what you're going to remember a few years down the line. Given another delay, TP could have been the best game ever, but they rushed it and it turned out badly.

Also, Twilight Princess had amazing sound effects. It's the only game that has ever made me think fuck, this game has great sound effects.

I am looking forward to Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

Sheik doesn’t appear in The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, but we based her model on a design that was drafted up during the development of that game.

I'm more interested in the fact that they were originally going to have Sheik in Twilight Princess than her confirmation (I believe she was confirmed months ago in an interview along with Ganondorf actually?). Guess it's another thing that got cut in the rush to complete TP in time to meet the Wii launch date.
