[Wii] Smash Bros. Brawl

Quote:

HOLY SHIT. I'm not alone!!!

HOLY SHIT, someone besides me who cares.

I think I'll vote for him. The lack of Klonoa love here is saddening.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Where did all this Crash/Jak & Daxter/Ratchet & Clank hate come from

Granted, I would definitely NOT want to see them in this, but I like their games

Okay, this has been bugging me for quite some time.

So, development would not be occurring at Hal Labs. But, the code and development environment of Super Smash Bros. Melee, which I had developed in the past, was offered. Having this versus not having this means the efficiency of the development changes dramatically, so I'm thankful.

But we still didn't have enough people. To create a game like Super Smash Bros. Melee, I would want a team with a minimum of 50 people. Getting together that many people would be a back-breaking task.

So it was that Nintendo's Shigeru Miyamoto introduced me to a "particular team" that had just completed a large-scale game.

Until the day comes when I can announce the team's name, I shall simply refer to them as "The Studio."

"Let's do it. Let's definitely do it!"
The words of The Studio's executive were very simple.

I was surprised when I saw the GameCube controllers they were using. The coating on the analog stick was worn down like an old eraser...
"Our guys have played Smash Bros. more than 10,000 times!"

It had to be a lie.
But when I saw their battle records, it showed a terrible number of matches that were not fabricated.

This was the result of years of uninterrupted playing of Smash Bros. during lunch breaks. There are often cases where your team doesn't understand the content of the game you're making, but that wouldn't be a concern this time.

It was promising.
This had to have been fate.
So, with the members of The Studio as our core, we dramatically increased our staff members.

So... what is this "The Studio?"

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

Is this like some question for details and specific team member names, or do you actually not understand what the text is saying?

It's the team developing Smash Bros Brawl and they simply haven't named it yet.

Took of pom's brilliant graphic and made this quick ytmnd. ^_^

EDIT: Fixed with actual WRYYYYYYYYYYYY Sound that I just found out about.

I was speaking idiomatically.

I've watched the trailer like eight times by now. Pure awesomeness. I'm extremely excited. I like how no one cares that it's called the Wii anymore. Nintendo knows what they're doing here.. They announce that they're calling their new console the Wii, attracting huge amounts of coverage and strong reactions from just about everyone. It doesn't really matter that it was mostly negative; everyone was paying attention when suddenly, boom, they start announcing things about the new SSB game. Now everyone wants a Wii.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

This is total bullshit. Anyone who says Snake is a nintendo character is a fucking idiot, his debut was on the MSX and the mahority of his games have been on Sony consoles. Yes, he was on two games, one of which was a remake of a PSX game, but that doesn't make him any more of a character than Sonic the hedgehog or Megaman. This isn't a game about characters from third party Nintendo games beating the shit out of each other, its about first party (HAL, EAD, Intelligent Systems, Gamefreak) nintendo characters beating the shit out of each other.

FELIPE NO

Um...who cares? The bottom line is, the game is awsome, the character is awsome, therefore, having them both together is great regardless of the chararcter's origins.

How ya doing, buddy?

I don't get why people would not want so and so character to be in a fighting game. If you don't think this guy should be in it, then just don't use or unlock that character...should be a no-brainer.

I don't care for the character himself, but damn, his appearance in the trailer was brilliant enough to make me want to play him :D

Jam it back in, in the dark.

you forgot Rare.

Anyways, man this thread exploaded like nobodie's business. I turn away for 20 hours, and i find 10 pages of posts to read. O well, gave me something to do.

Man, this game has me excited like nothing else. I'm so pumped for this game, no one has any idea, not even me. One day, i'll get my hands on this game, and instantly die from it's pure awesomness.

Anyways. I find it disturbing that Diddy was neglected from Melee. If that happens again with Brawl, i won't be happy (but nothing could ruin my mood, so.... yeah whatever) I'd really like to see Diddy and Dixie in the game, but if only one, then Diddy. Maybe have them teamed up like Zelda/Sheik, or Ice Climbers. Diddy Kong is just as much a Nintendo Character as Donkey Kong.

I'm concerned about the number of third parties involved in this game. Some are ok, but Nintendo, please, don't go overboard.

EDITED CAUSE I ALMOST THREW UP WHEN I REREAD THIS POST. Apparently grammer and I are still fighting.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

The only thing about Snake's prescence that bugs me is when people praise Nintendo for being brilliant for including him, when in fact it was Kojima who begged for Snake to be put in. If anyone needs all the praise or hate, it's him.

How ya doing, buddy?

I agree that Snake is a cool character, but it's about Nintendo history as much as it is about gameplay. I don't think Snake fits in with that history.

By the way, if anyone wants to suggest characters on the Japanese site, I've taken a screen shot of the URL and the pull menu option for characters for you to match up.To suggest music, pick the third option. You might want to write it in Japanese or at least their Japanese names in english if you have any hopes of them listening to you.

Yeah, I'm excited about it as well. It's been a while since I've been so hyped up about a game. The last time was what, Golden Sun 2?

I'd love to see Banjo, Kazooie, and Conker. Then again, it's Rare..and..well....yeah..

I'd kill to see more Pokemon, though.

I was speaking idiomatically.

After the intial shock of the new characters I'm now more excited about SSBB's online component. Which I think will be flipping awesome as long as the lag isn't significant. And if Nintendo's DS Wi-Fi network is any indication then I think everything will turn out fine. Hopefully they will work in some kind of system to punish those who just turn off their systems when they're about to lose and maybe a replay system so you can review your opponent's tactics and what not.

As for Snake getting into the game, most of the folks I've talked to seem to have no problems with Snake being in the game. Most see it as a good thing, but like all good things 3rd party characters should be added with moderation. Can't just throw in any old character that wants in. Not to mention it almost seems he got in as a personal favor or something.

Takahashi Tezuka, EAD's general manager told IGN that team is made up of 70 people, and on side note that Nintendo Tokyo (not EAD) is the studio making Super Mario Galaxy. The team making SBB is likely an EAD team. - http://revolution.ign.com/articles/707/707840p1.html

FELIPE NO

methinks Nintendo doesn't want to throw away their weak relationship with Konami by turning him down. Hideo Kojima has been whoring Snake out on the PS2 as well, in Ape Escape 3 there's a massive Konami-developed minigame included where you play as a monkey snake.

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

How ya doing, buddy?

That or some kind of character exchange program is going on where DDR gets Mario and SSBB gets Snake.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Here's my ideas for characters:

Mashman (from action 52, he's been in just as many nintendo games as snake, why not?)
a deck of nintendo hanafuda cards
a massive animate swarm of wiimotes

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

They need Earthworm Jim in there. He was all over the SNES. Not to mention some character(s) from Tales of Symphonia. Lloys would totally kick ass.

TEMPEST BITCH!

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

Hey guys,

I'm sure it hasn't been posted before but there's a chance I could've have missed a post in this thread. Anyways, Nintendo of Japan has opened up a page where you can submit ideas for 3rd party characters since they're looking to add some more. I can't read/type Japanese so if you'd like, please add a request for Classic Rockman or Rockman.EXE for me (or not)

I was speaking idiomatically.

they should have Cless or whatever his name was, from Tales of Phantasia all 3d and kick ass, I've always thought about king boo but he might be to close to kirby and jiggly puff (round, and floats)

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

This is one of the most shocking things I've heard since Nintendo selling Rare...

I've submitted the poll, Here's my final list, in english:

Sonic the hedgehog
Sonic the hedgehog
Sonic the hedgehog
Shigeru Miyamoto
Diddy Kong
Meowth
Viewtiful Joe
Bomberman
Rockman

FELIPE NO

You know. Banjo and Kazooie can always make it in the roster..

How ya doing, buddy?

That would be sweet, it could be the team style characters with Kazooie in Banjos backpack, and you can split them and play them seperatly
