Nintendo Counts Down to Super Smash Bros. Brawl

[Crossblades]

IGN: Nintendo Counts Down to Smash Bros. (http://wii.ign.com/articles/788/788418p1.html)



The next best thing to actually playing Smash Bros. is getting new details on Smash Bros. While we're still going to have to wait some to experience Nintendo-style melee fighting with the Wii classic controller, new info on Smash Bros. Brawl may hit as early as Monday!

Nintendo has updated the official Japanese Smash Bros. site with a countdown to a site relaunch. As of this writing, the countdown reads 6 days (Japan time).

While we don't know for sure if the site update will include new info, you can bet we'll be refreshing our browsers constantly beginning Monday morning. We'll let you know if anything new is revealed.

[Dreddz]

Why the need for a countdown ? Nintendo must think pretty high of themselves to think that Brawl needed a countdown.

[Black Mage]

What are you even trying to say?

Countdowns like this are extremely common for website launches and the release of a product. I don't think it says anything about Nintendo one way or the other.

[ljkkjlcm9]

not only that, Smash Bros is that big of a game. I know people that still play the N64 version of the game like it's their job. Smash Bros Melee is still one of my favorite GC games to play too, I've even played it on my Wii. To not realize that Smash Bros is as big, if not bigger than say Halo 3, is kidding yourself.

THE JACKEL

[Del Murder]

Smash Bros. Melee is my favorite game for Gamecube.

[Shoeberto]

Blizzard must think pretty high of themselves to have a countdown.
Bungie must think pretty high of themselves to have (had) a countdown.

etc. etc.

[NeoCracker]

Didn't PS3 have a countdown?

[Crossblades]

Smash Bros. Melee is my favorite game for Gamecube.

[Roto13]

I can't wait. I've been getting the shakes from lack of Smash Bros. info.

[Jowy]

Some new Fire Emblem characters would be delicious. Playable Hector is DO WANT.

[PhoenixAsh]

The new Smash is about the only thing that might tempt me to get a Wii. I play the 64 version pretty much daily, and will probably get the cube version soon (I prefer the 64 but want to try the one player now cubes are cheap).

I think the only new character that has a chance of being in it that I care about is Sonic. Diddy Kong might be cool as well.

[Crossblades]

I seriously hope some Golden Sun characters are added in the mix, mostly Isaac and Saturos. Seeing some Custom Robo characters would be nice as well

[Roto13]

I wonder what Sonic's odds are of showing up now? There's a game announced with Mario and Sonic that's really focusing on the concept of them being in the same game. Wouldn't putting them both in Smash Bros. kinda take attention away from that?

[scrumpleberry]

SSBM was love. Brawl looks just as good.

[The Fat Bioware Nerd]

I wonder what Sonic's odds are of showing up now? There's a game announced with Mario and Sonic that's really focusing on the concept of them being in the same game. Wouldn't putting them both in Smash Bros. kinda take attention away from that?

We probaby won't see Sonic until the next Smash Bros. game which means I'll probaby have to buy the next console that Nintendo launches after the Wii's life cycle comes to an end.

[NeoCracker]

I still want Dekar.

[Agrias]

I want to play itttttt so bad.

[Markus. D]

I want Cybot G Marina and some form of Clancer.

that will never happen though. If It does...

[demondude]

will you have to have a wii classic controller cant you just have a gamecube one?

[Roto13]

According to old reports, the Game Cube controller is going to be usable. I'm assuming that hasn't changed.

[JKTrix]

Here's an 'independant journalist' who apparently got an interview with someone who involved with the new Smash game. Take it with a grain of salt, but if this stuff gets confirmed to be true in the future I'm adding this guy to my list of sources.

Nintendo Upcoming Game “Fun-Fact� Sheet « The Nintendrone (http://nintendrone.blog.com/1780019/)

They talk about some other stuff first (Multiplayer in Super Mario Galaxy? Hmm...) then they get down to the smash talk.

Like roto mentioned, they said a long time ago that the main game won't use the motion sensors, and will be built around the Gamecube controller.

It's a pretty quick read, as they're set up as bullet points instead of paragraphs.

[Black Mage]

I'll play doubting Thomas for now, as essentially anyone can make a blog entry like that. If it turns out to be true, then great. If not, no surprise.

Today's the day the site is supposed to be updated, however. Hopefully we'll see something in the way of new information.

[LimitBreaker]

I cant wait for this game, I try to reserve it, but the store people say they could'nt.

[Laddy]

Yet another game for my golden-plated Wii.

[Elite Lord Sigma]

I bet that I'll get all of the information first. Then I will hold it away from you all just to torture your souls share it with everyone.

[KentaRawr!]

On one hand, the SSBB part sounds pretty cool, but I'll die inside if he's a good source of info, mostly because of this:


Metroid Prime 3: Corruption:
Players will not have to re-gain all of their abilities.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRGGHHH!

[JKTrix]

On one hand, the SSBB part sounds pretty cool, but I'll die inside if he's a good source of info, mostly because of this:


Metroid Prime 3: Corruption:

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRGGHHH!

I don't see how this is bad. In fact it's been pissing me off when games take away your powers lately.

'Sides, this may mean you get enough *new* stuff to compensate for the Samus-Standard arsenal you'd traditionally get in Metroid.

[KentaRawr!]

While it is possible that they will compensate in such a way, the last time I heard them use these words with a Metroid game, it was Metroid Prime Hunters for the DS, which was merely using the Metroid name as an excuse to make a first person shooter for their system. And even then, it wasn't that you had all her powers. It was morely that you had none of them, and could only collect new weapons for battle, rather than for continuing with the game. And honestly, even by FPS standards, which I normally dislike anyway, I'd have to say it was quite bland.

[Elite Lord Sigma]

The update to the site, other than making it look better, has the list of musicians working on the game, along with a full description of the "Battlefield" stage and a basic "How to Play" if you were stupid unlucky enough to miss out on this franchise. However, according to how Sakurai says he will be updating the site "periodically", I'm assuming we're going to see updates more frequently now.

[Fatal Impurity]

SSBM was ok but it is in no way a bigger release than halo 3...but yeah its interesting who they've picked as their new characters. Solid snake's in it for god's sake! Also who whould of thought they would put in a new version of the same charcter (suitless samus) and how will this new version match up against the original?

[JKTrix]

The site says to expect Daily Weekday Updates. Hmm.

Also, I wouldn't write off the list of musicians as just fluff. I mean... this could be a clue to what may be represented in the game. The man even says:

This is dangerous. It's a little risky
Then look at the first name on the list: some guy from Konami who is credited for Metal Gear music. Now, if we go by these clues, we can assume/hope/speculate that people that who are brought in from other companies for music may be contributing music from games that they have worked on. Also, people from within Nintendo who have worked on Nintendo games may be contributing music from games they've worked on.

And if the music from these games are going to be there, then there *has* to be something from that game within Smash Bros--be it a character, stage, trophy or whatever.

I'll post the list in quotes. It's a little weird to read. All emphasis such as Underlines and Bolds are my own, for some notable non-nintendo people/games that we didn't know about already.

My Rankings:
Underline= !
Bold= !!
Bold & Underline= !!!

One last note before the list: The last person listed, Yuzo Koshiro, was the composer of the original Sonic the Hedgehog. CURIOUS as to why they didn't include that credit beside his name...

[ValkyrieWing]

I'm sincerely hoping for Golden Sun and Fire Emblem characters. Maybe even Advance Wars...now that would be different.

[NINJA_Ryu]

mm, if they have my good buddy sonic, then my life is set.

[Crossblades]

The site has been updated with Profiles for Mario and link

[ljkkjlcm9]

Today they added the Gooey bomb item and it looks awesome! I've always wanted to stick someone with a bomb in Smash Bros! I just wonder how long it takes to blow up.

THE JACKEL

[KH-Cloudy]

Haha, wow this is gonna be cool.

[Crossblades]

Pit's bio has now been added. Man, Nintendo was serious when they said that the site would be updated daily:D

[ljkkjlcm9]

Pit's bio has now been added. Man, Nintendo was serious when they said that the site would be updated daily:D

updated daily yes, but at this rate, it'll take 2 weeks before we get any real good new info.

THE JACKEL

[Agent Proto]

I wouldn't say that. I trust Nintendo to pop in some new stuff here and there like they did with the Gooey Bomb.

[demondude]

I love the music menu 1 in the music section I can't wait to see what other pieces of music they have:)

[Crossblades]

The update now includes a new item called "Final Smash."

[Roto13]

We already knew about that item. :P

Does it look different than it did or am I just remembering it wrong?

[demondude]

We already knew about that item. :P

Does it look different than it did or am I just remembering it wrong?

It does look different before it was just plain red it looks cooler now:D

[scrumpleberry]

It definitely looks different, but I like it.

[Crossblades]

We already knew about that item. :P

Does it look different than it did or am I just remembering it wrong?

But nobody knew it's name though:p

[demondude]

New update now the super scope can be used while moving and jumping:choc2:

[Crossblades]

Another new item, the cracker Launcher

[Roto13]

I want one of those in real life.

[demondude]

Don't we all?

[ljkkjlcm9]

I've always wanted a home run bat, that's so awesome it sends people flying if swung correctly.

THE JACKEL

[demondude]

Wouldn't having a flamethrower disguised as a flower be even better:)

Edit they have the delfino plaza now that looks really cool:)

[Crossblades]

The way they described the delfino plaza stage kinda reminds me of the F-Zero stage from Melee. Still cool though:D

[demondude]

I bet they'll make a stage from luigis mansion playable:)

[Evastio]

I really can't wait for Super Smash Bros. Brawl to come out and all of these updates aren't helping. :hyper:

I'm hoping that they'll be adding Geno, Mallow, (yeah , I know it's unlikely but it would be so awesome if they added those two) King K. Rool, Cranky Kong, (Cranky Kong would be a funny character to add. Just imagine getting beaten up by an old monkey. King K. Rool should be added since Donkey Kong needs a good rival) Gooey, King Dedede, (Kirby needs a partner and Gooey is perfect for the job. King Dedede would be a funny character to add as well) Poo, (Ness needs a partner as well) Lucario, (who'd be a better Pokémon to add than Blaziken because it would be wrong to add him if all the other starters and their evolutions were only in Pokéballs) Balloon Fighters, (we need more retro character in Super Smash Bros. and if the Ice Climbers made it in why shouldn't they?) and Lolo and Lala (also a good idea for retro characters).

[Elite Lord Sigma]

Now that they added an arrangement from a song from Yoshi's Story, Sakurai may as well say that Yoshi is in the game.

[Ultima Shadow]

Rydia and Rider should be in the game... in underwear-outfit... then I'd spend the rest of my life making hot screenshots in camera-mode. :greenie:

Uh, oh. What AM I thinking? :greenie:

...

Anyways... I really can't wait for this game. It's going to be so awesome. Even though Rydia and Rider won't be in it. :cool:

[KentaRawr!]

Now that they added an arrangement from a song from Yoshi's Story, Sakurai may as well say that Yoshi is in the game.

Well, a Yoshi's Island stage WAS in the second trailer. >_>

[demondude]

Now they have pokemon balls and groudon:)

[Crossblades]

The site is updated. This time it shows which Controllers are compatible

[KentaRawr!]

Takamaru should be in Brawl. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazo_no_Murasamejou) I may have only learned of him by browsing wikipedia in complete boredome, but even so, who else for the spot of that one obscure character not many people know of?

Pit doesn't count! >=/

[Craig]

4 different ways to play, that's pretty awesome. I think I'll give the Wiimote + Nunchuk a try first, but the Nunchuk hurts my hand after a while so it'll probably be a choice between the Classic controller and the GC controller.

Besides, Smash Bros is ment to be played with a controller in your hands, that's pretty much as solid as evolution. Wiimote on it's side doesn't look too great, but I'll give it a go.

[ljkkjlcm9]

Pit doesn't count! >=/

I knew Pit... Kid Icarus is amazing! They could easily do Milon from Milon's secret castle, which just recently came to the virtual console :P

anyways, 4 control types... and it makes sense. You only need A and B, the control pad, and a shoulder. So with the wiimote on it's side, you have A, 1, 2 and control pad. But that takes away jump buttons and requires you to use Up. As well as shield and A to grab.
The wiimote/nunchuk might be interesting. I'm guessing Z grabs, C shield(or other way around), A normal, B special, not sure about the control pad, but of course the control stick moves. Control pad might be like the C-stick in multiplayer, or it could be a quick jump.
Classic controller and Gamecube controller seem pretty self explanatory.... gamecube controller probably hasn't changed the controls at all.

THE JACKEL

[Markus. D]

Isle Delfino looks to be awesome!

[Crossblades]

Zelda returns as a playable character. And check out other updates like the lylat cruise

Smash Bros. DOJO!! (http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/characters/zelda.html)

[Craig]

I've got a feeling she won't be transforming into Sheik this time round.

[Rase]

Pretty sweet Ocarina of Time medley added today. I'm definitely digging it.

[Zeromus_X]

I am very happy that Zelda returns as a playable character, Sheik or not.

[Ultima Shadow]

I'm not suprised Zelda returns. And according to the character description, it seems like she'll be pretty much the same as in Melee. I really hope the Sheik transformation has been removed, though. That, or Sheik must be nerfed. She was far too good in Melee and because of that, people rarely played as Zelda in her true form.

[KentaRawr!]

Nice, completely customizable controls. I hope this means I can remove the Analog Stick Jump.

[Evastio]

Nice, completely customizable controls. I hope this means I can remove the Analog Stick Jump.
Yeah. I never liked that either. It messes up your movement and it gets annoying. At least it does for me.

Another Nintendo character they made barely any reference to in SSBM?

Wow. I thought the Urban Champions were the only characters they completely forgot about in SSBM. He does look awesome enough to add to Brawl though. :D

[Goldenboko]

I'm not suprised Zelda returns. And according to the character description, it seems like she'll be pretty much the same as in Melee. I really hope the Sheik transformation has been removed, though. That, or Sheik must be nerfed. She was far too good in Melee and because of that, people rarely played as Zelda in her true form.
Sheik was meant to deal lots of damage and then Zelda as a finisher IMO the harmony was flawless.

[Ultima Shadow]

Sheik was meant to deal lots of damage and then Zelda as a finisher IMO the harmony was flawless.Zelda was MEANT to be the finisher, yes. But she usually wasn't. Sheik is superior in every aspect. Even when it comes to finishing the opponent. Her bitch-slap sends the opponent in an annoying downward direction which can be extremely hard to recover from. Her d-smash isn't bad either and both comes out extremely fast, which makes them hard to avoid. And when it comes to edgeguarding, Zelda is nothing compared to Sheik.

[Momiji]

Nice, completely customizable controls. I hope this means I can remove the Analog Stick Jump.

You DO know that in SSBM you can use Y or X to jump, and in the original SSB you could use any of the yellow buttons (letter escapes me) to jump. I dislike using the analog stick to jump.

[Markus. D]

Perhaps Zelda will be the SSB version of Jam Kurodoberi? (Buffing before special moves?)

[Cz]

Wow, assist trophies look really great. I was a little disappointed to see that Samurai Goroh wasn't actually going to be a playable character, but this is the next best thing. Looks like we'll be seeing plenty of cameos in SSBB. :D

[Evastio]

Wow, assist trophies look really great. I was a little disappointed to see that Samurai Goroh wasn't actually going to be a playable character, but this is the next best thing. Looks like we'll be seeing plenty of cameos in SSBB. :D
Yeah. Although I do hope they won't be making Pokémon come out of those things. I know they probably won't but I'm still a bit worried about it since they may think that some of the Pokémon are too good to come out of Pokéballs.

I have to say the Assist Trophies are a really awesome idea and I look forward to having them in SSBB. :D

[Cz]

Yeah. Although I do hope they won't be making Pokémon come out of those things. I know they probably won't but I'm still a bit worried about it since they may think that some of the Pokémon are too good to come out of Pokéballs.I don't think that'll be much of a problem. I'm thinking of the assist trophies as Pokéballs for non-Pokémon characters. They look as if they work the same way, with each character having one pre-determined attack, and being practically invincible. Basically, they're an excuse to shoe-horn in as many characters as possible into the game. Which is a good thing. :thumb:

[Rase]

I've been thinking the same as Cz, in that the Assist Trophies are basically Pokéballs with the Pokémon replaced with various Nintendo characters. Very nice.

Bowser's up (http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/characters/bowser.html), and looks nice. I'm more interested by this though.

The biggest and the heaviest of fighters, Bowser has a slightly different flavor this time around!

To be honest, there are a LOT of characters that offer a slightly different flavor this time around. If you think they’re all going to be the same as they have been, it’ll be rough for you.
Granted, that may not be huge news to some, but I for one am happy they're saying that there will be at least some changes to most characters. Much preferred to the whole "same guy, better graphics" deal.

[Cz]

Yeah, that's great news. Having played Melee to death, I'd hoped they might take a shot at rebalancing the character roster in Brawl, to make the likes of Bowser playable.

Also, it looks as though we're going to start getting new information more often from now on. I'm getting more excited about SSBB by the day.

[Elite Lord Sigma]

I've liked the new updates quite a lot.

What happened over on NSider Forums as a result of some of them, on the other hand...

[Crossblades]

Wow. Bowser actually looks scary this time:eek:

[Fatal Impurity]

Wow SSBB looks like it could be another surprisingly good and addictive game...

[Rase]

Latest info (http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/characters/bowser.html#3rd) = sweet. Playable Giga Bowser makes me very happy indeed. :D

[Northcrest]

This is going to be so great can't wait for it to come out. When exactly is it suppose to come out anyway.

[Fatal Impurity]

I love the trailer for SSBB...its gotta be one of the funniest game trailers in existence!

[Ultima Shadow]

Whoa! Giga Bowser looks EVIL! :cool:

[Rostum]

Sorry, was just some information I received from a friend who is going to be attending the E3 (or is, I don't know when it starts). So yeah, I didn't know those two stages where in it, that's even more the awesome!

[Crossblades]

How could you not know? They were in the 2006 E3 video:p

[KentaRawr!]

Don't forget the inner castle. >_>

[Crossblades]

Bridge of Eldin from Zelda:Twilight Princess is now one the stages.

[Rostum]

How could you not know? They were in the 2006 E3 video:p

I don't follow gaming news much, if at all. And a lot can happen to a game from 2006 to 2007. :p

[Rengori]

I want a friggin' wii now! I haven't played Super Smash Bros in like 4 years, and I never got the Gamecube one.

[Evastio]

I hope posting this isn't considered spam (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DDvq79XTiww&mode=related&search=). It is on-topic even though it's not officially Nintendo.

It's a fan-made Super Smash Bros. Brawl Theme Song Interpretation I found on the Internet. It's really funny. :D

[Markus. D]

XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

[demondude]

They have dr wright as an assist trophy now :)

[Roto13]

Dr. Wright from Sim City. xD That's awesome.

[Rengori]

I thought it was going to Dr. Phoenix Wright for a second.

[Evastio]

They shouldn't use the Smash Bros. Logo for him even though they probably won't add any more Sim City characters.

[Rase]

They brought back the Bumper!!! (http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/items/item05.html)

:love:

I am so freaking happy about this. The Bumper was probably the main thing I missed in SSBM. The Spinner (or whatever it's called) just wasn't the same.

[Markus. D]

Smash Bros. DOJO!! (http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/stages/stage05.html)

:DDDDDDDDDDDDDD

[Momiji]

I'm gonna be sad if Ness doesn't show up in this one. I mean, he was created by the same company who made Kirby. That's gotta account for something. :(

Not to mention, EarthBound is a fantastic game.

[PhoenixAsh]

I didn't ever manage to own Melee (I still play the 64 version a LOT)... I can't believe the bumper wasn't in it! Its one of the most fun ways to kill people!

I think the new Smash is gonna tip me towards getting a Wii... Its between that and 360, so whoever impresses me most in the next few months gets the win.

[Crossblades]

Release date confirmed! Dec. 3, 2007:D

A short but awesome video!

And Donkey Kong returns!!!:D

[Roto13]

Short little trailer. That's cool. I like the new look of Fox's Firefox move.

[Crossblades]

An Animal Crossing stage has been added!:eek:

The Stage changes from night to day depending on your Wii's internal clock:)

[Northcrest]

Gosh I can't wait anymore I hope I can get a Wii soon. OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG!

[Azure Chrysanthemum]

Well, I guess I better get myself a Wii now so I can get Brawl for Christmas :p

[Roto13]

K.K. Slider. xD That's great.

[XxSephirothxX]

Stage, character, etc. announcements all excite me greatly, though I'm a bit surprised by how many people care about items. I don't think I've regularly played Smash Bros with items since about 2003. :p

[Ultima Shadow]

Stage, character, etc. announcements all excite me greatly, though I'm a bit surprised by how many people care about items. I don't think I've regularly played Smash Bros with items since about 2003. :pAgreed. I actually find it much more fun without items.:greenie:

[Azure Chrysanthemum]

I never quite know how to feel about music posts. On one hand, I love the music and the impressive list of composers does make me want to know all about the music. On the other hand, I want to know more about characters and content, damn it!

That being said I'm liking the Star Fox arrangement. This will definitely be a game I buy the soundtrack for.

[Markus. D]

Donkey Kong is back :]...

edit: o_o; Animal Crossing stage

Check out Samus's Final Smash! :eek:

[ljkkjlcm9]

Check out Samus's Final Smash! :eek:

let me get this straight, I can only be Zero Suit Samus by using Samus's final smash? Then does Zero Suit Samus have her own Final Smash? Does dieing get me my suit back? That's really not very clear on how it works.

[Ultima Shadow]

That's really not very clear on how it works.I was about to ask the same thing. If she can only be Zero Suit after using her Final Smash, you won't be able to play her in item-less matches. And that would suck.

[KentaRawr!]

Hopefully you can do something like, hold A at the beginning of a match to just start as her. But at the same time, if you are in a match with items, Samus players are at a disadvantage unless they know how to use ZSS well, and so far it seems like the two characters are pretty different judging by the trailers. >_>

Her character profile is now up. What she lacks in power and weaponry, she makes up for it in speed.

[Ultima Shadow]

She actually seems to be better in her Zero Suit form. Almost like Sheik. >_<

[demondude]

I don't like the way samus changes into her zero suit form when she uses her final smash.

[KentaRawr!]

She actually seems to be better in her Zero Suit form. Almost like Sheik. >_<

*Intercept* .... ##### SLAP!!

She seems to be a pretty cool character already. :tongue:

Ugh! No! I don't want another Sheik! Sheik is too cheap! NOOOOOO! xD

Edit: Also, this may not be directly releated to Brawl but (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L1nGBIGKnuU)... it's still so awesome that I just have to post it here. xD

[Markus. D]

Well it isn't like we are going to be able to suddenly activate Final Smashes, In normal Item games at least it will (hopefully...) be based on chance.

[NeoCracker]

That kicked so much ass Shads.

[Crossblades]

Check out the new update. Seems kinda......creepy. I guess it's the new Story mode

[JKTrix]

It looks like it might be a peek at the game's intro, based on the 'Statues Come To Life' thing.

Did that purple smokey thing come from MetaKnight's ship?

[Roto13]

That's just weird. xP I hope they reveal exactly what that is on Monday.

[Azure Chrysanthemum]

New DK stage instead of any further revelations.

It's a moving stage, the kind of stage my cousins and I rarely play on. They don't like them, but I tend to be OK with them.

[Nominus Experse]

Yes, I knew there was a reason I hadn't spent my Coke Rewards yet. 10 a day, the Wii will be mine just in time to get this gem of a game.

A shame Bomberman didn't make it in this game. I think he would have been fun to have in the fray.

[Crossblades]

New DK stage instead of any further revelations.

The DK stage is similar to the Ice Climbers stage(SSBM)

[Northcrest]

I just want to see Captain Falcon and his Final Smash. But yeah that DK stage looks pretty awesome.

[Crossblades]

Yoshi returns as a playable character

[Craig]

Yoshi returns as a playable character

And he's packing a triple jump.

[Azure Chrysanthemum]

I'm wondering how the egg throw triple jump will work. Will Yoshi spring up as he throws the egg, or will he throw himself as an egg? The latter'd be kinda funny.

[PhoenixAsh]

Yoshi with a triple jump may become one of my favourate characters... Haven't tried him in Melee, but I loved him in 64 apart from that one, massive weakness...

[KH-Cloudy]

Heh, going to like the new stage :)

[Azure Chrysanthemum]

Wow, a stage where it appears you can break all of the ground. That looks interesting.

[scrumpleberry]

It'll be a bummer until you get used to it.

I love the idea of the assist trophies and stuff - I mean, Dr. Wright!

[Roto13]

I like the new stage. It looks nice.

[KH-Cloudy]

Lol, check out the new update. Footstool jump xD this will be loads of fun. *Evil thought*

[Crossblades]

Lol, check out the new update. Footstool jump xD this will be loads of fun. *Evil thought*

Indeed:D

[ljkkjlcm9]

it seems to me that was put in to give EVERYONE an edge guard move

[Roto13]

Knuckle Joe as an assist trophy. Nothing spectacular, but neat anyway. :P

[Markus. D]

The Kid Icarus stage makes me happy :D

[KH-Cloudy]

Hmm...interesting no new updates and it's already 38 minutes after midnight...Usually takes around four to five minutes.

EDIT: Finally! Final Smash is just like the upcoming game ahahah.

[Crossblades]

New item revealed:Pitfall!

[Roto13]

lol Animal Crossing

[Azure Chrysanthemum]

New character revealed! Enter Fire Emblem's Ike. (http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/characters/ike.html)

[Crossblades]

New character revealed! Enter Fire Emblem's Ike. (http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/characters/ike.html)

Nintendo has granted my wish!:eek:

[ljkkjlcm9]

Ike is soooooo the Fire Emblem character I wanted! I can solo the entire Fire Emblem game with him on difficult, by far the best main EVER in fire emblem lol

THE JACKEL

[JKTrix]

Let's just hope they don't introduce another character from any game that uses a Lance, or Ike is screwed.

[Roto13]

Which FE game is Ike from?

[JKTrix]

Path of Radiance (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fire_Emblem:_Path_of_Radiance), Gamecube. A game American people might be familiar with.

I'm saddened though, as this may mean the loss of Marth (and Roy). I mean, Marth and Roy are the reason we even have Fire Emblem games in English now.

[Craig]

I'm guessing tomorrow's update will be Kirby's final smash, Ike's moveset or an assist trophy.

[KentaRawr!]

I highly doubt that Marth will be cut. The castle stage seen in the trailers bears the same flag as the enemy's flag in the two games Marth was in, and the anime.

[KH-Cloudy]

Just hope Marth don't get cut since many people use him more than Roy.

[Evastio]

Based on the "Warning! Challenger Approaching!" sign above the update I'm guessing Ike is a secret character in Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

Just hope Marth don't get cut since many people use him more than Roy.

Yeah. I also really hope Marth and Roy makes it in (although I want Marth to be back in more than Roy). And even if Marth is in the Japan Only Fire Emblem games he is the central character of the Fire Emblem series like you said Kentarou. And he is the only character to star in more than 1 Fire Emblem game.

[Vikeve]

I'm so sad they must not cut Roy! Marth was too strong it was too easy too cheap being him. I'm disapointed in you Evastio why must I love those that hurt me!

[Evastio]

I'm so sad they must not cut Roy! Marth was too strong it was too easy too cheap being him. I'm disapointed in you Evastio why must I love those that hurt me!
So that's why you don't like Marth as much as Roy. Well, that's understandable.

They most likely won't be removing Roy from Super Smash Bros. Brawl because he's no longer a Japan Only character.

[Azure Chrysanthemum]

The new Fire Emblem stage looks pretty sweet.

[KH-Cloudy]

What's underground I wonder...Death traps?! Or weapons like cannons and gunpowder with fire nearby..

[Monster Hunt]

Smash Bros. Melee is my favorite game for Gamecube.

I remember when the trailer first came out and now it's finally the count down!

The new characters look pretty cool- I can't wait!

[Crossblades]

The new Fire Emblem stage looks pretty sweet.

Indeed.

I like the fact that the stage is not from a a specific Fire Emblem game.

[Albel]

Solid Snake!!! woohooo. I'll have to try him out when I get bored of Link. I cant wait.

[KentaRawr!]

Dang, I could have SWORN those flags were from a specific game. >_< Oh well. Perhaps it's a combination of multiple Fire Emblem games. But still, it destroys the defense of Marth. >_>

[Crossblades]

Adventure Mode:The Subspace Emissary has been added. This is story mode basically. Unlike SSBM's adventure mode, this will emphasize character development.

[Craig]

Today's update was my favourite so far. It also confirmed Peach.

[Evastio]

Adventure mode in Super Smash Bros. Brawl sounds really awesome... :D

Although it leaves me with a lot of questions about it.

[Roto13]

I bet it's almost exactly like the Melee adventure more, only with more cutscenes. :P

[Craig]

Oh and Sheik and Ganondorf have been confirmed too.

[KentaRawr!]

Oh and Sheik and Ganondorf have been confirmed too.

I reckon his moveset will be changed this time.

[Ultima Shadow]

Oh and Sheik and Ganondorf have been confirmed too.Sheik= NOOOOOOO!!!
Ganondorf= YEEEEEEEESSSSSS!!!

I reckon his moveset will be changed this time.NOOOOOES... as long as it's not just his up tilt and Warlock Punch that has been replaced with some better moves. in that case, the changes will be welcome. But I doubt it will be like that, though. But hopefully, he'll be atleast similar to how he was in melee, since he was my main. Oh well.

[KentaRawr!]

I just hope they nerf Shiek. I know she's my main, but I always feel so cheap when I use her for some reason. Like, no one can beat me. Then I use Captain Falcon, and I lose, and yet, everything feels... right.

As for Ganondorf, he's deserving of an original move-set, and a spot in this game. Personally, I'd like it if they just made it so all of his moves do the same thing, but they just make them look different.

firstly, I believe some time ago they said there wouldn't be any more clones, so ganondorf will more than likely have an original move set.
Secondly, shiek may end up more like zero suit samus in this game, instead of being able to freely change between the two. But we'll have to wait and see, prolly not.

THE JACKEL

[Crossblades]

New item:Smoke Ball

[KH-Cloudy]

I think you mean disco ball =)

[Markus. D]

Awww, I hope the quick movies don't destroy the storyline (If anyone has played Harry Potter and the Order of well... you know... etc... It all felt very rushed and disgustingly lazy).

But that little clippet was rather exciting :D!

[Crossblades]

See Ike's special moves. One of them is very similar to Roy

[ljkkjlcm9]

Aether reminds me a lot of Kirby's Up+B move, except it sounds a lot better! If only it actually sapped health like in Fire Emblem. Wonder what his forward and down specials are!

Update: Kid Icarus : Underworld

BACKGROUND MUSIC :)

[Roto13]

Oh god, that music makes me so freaking happy.

[Northcrest]

weep weep still no Captain Falcon.

[KH-Cloudy]

I'm sure they will put Captain Falcon in.

As for the new update..Pit's Final Smash...very interesting for me since I never played any of his games >>..Deadly sacrifices too..

[Azure Chrysanthemum]

Samurai Goro is in as an assist Trophy. I have little doubt that Captain Falcon will be in as well.

[Crossblades]

New item: Franklin Badge. It's a reflector item

[Azure Chrysanthemum]

I approve of more Mother-related gear.

[smily face]

[Azure Chrysanthemum]

The new character looks really interesting, I'm definitely going to have to give him a shot.

[JKTrix]

It would be nifty if you could use your DS to control it :P Would also be cool if it could read data from the Pokemon Wii game to make him look like your customized trainer from that game.

*is trying to squeeeeeze value out of Pokemon Battle Revolution*

[Markus. D]

I wonder if the costume swaps will be different trainers :D?

I reckon the idea is certainly unique :]

edit: I meant of the character's playstyle.

Nintendo is going all out on this title =)

[KH-Cloudy]

Haha, how much do you think they are going to make. Game is going to be at least 49.99$

[SnoopyG]

I wonder how you move the trainer and the pokemon at the same time. Good choice of pokemon though, the original 3 that actually looks menacing.

Right. By the looks of it the trainer just moves with the pokemon and makes gestures and commands as you control the pokemon itself.

[Luigidudeman]

I wish the trainer had Bulbasaur Charmeleon and Blastoise, I would like that better. I think this would be my second choice though. Other than that, I can't wait to see what they release tomorrow. I get so excited when I wake up every morning becasue I get to see what else is new!

What did the Devil do in the NES game he's from?

[Ouch!]

I can't help but get the feeling that the people who play Melee professionally and are really serious about the game are very happy with how Brawl seems to be turning out. I just get the vibe that Nintendo is targetting the more casual audience (which, granted, is far larger). This works perfectly fine for me, but I have friends who are already bitching about it.

I'm groaning at the Pokemon Trainer, by the way.

Remember also, most professional Smash play tends to gut just about everything about the game that it's intended to be. Smash Brothers was created to be a nutty, chaotic game with items and weird, random stages and four players trying to kill each other. Tournament play tends to be quite a bit more vanilla, with Final Destination 1v1 no item matches being pretty standard. Consequently the reason I don't attend the Smash Club at my university, I tend to feel that doing this constantly sucks the fun out of it and makes it a chore instead of a game.

Also, the Pokemon Trainer seems to have some interesting mechanics that even pro players could get into. The switching and hidden stamina effect is something a really good player would have to work to master, and if the Pokemon Trainer is executed well I could see it being a good contender (although I get the feeling the switch requirement might drop it in the tiers if certain pokemon are really only good in certain situations).

[JKTrix]

What did the Devil do in the NES game he's from?


He moved the screen. The game he comes from is kind of like Pac Man, except it takes place in a frame in the middle of the screen. This frame is moved around by little creatures holding the frame at the bottom of the screen, and The Devil tells them which way to move the frame by pointing. If the player character is in the wrong place, he can get squashed by the frame.

http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f128/JKTrix/devilpic.png

The history of this game is actually a little fascinating to me. This is the only game designed by Shigeru Miyamoto that hasn't been released in the US (though it came out in Europe). At the time, Nintendo America didn' (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Devil_World)t allow religious figures in their games. Go figure.

Easter Egg: Info Source link hidden in the text!

[KH-Cloudy]

I present to you....UPDATE : STICKERS!!
Reminds me of sticky notes =P...Screenshots and comics...awesome!

[Roto13]

I'd buy the game for the Rawk Hawk sticker.

[JKTrix]

It would be cool if, as new Nintendo games come out, they release more stickers through downloadable content or something. Or maybe if you play the game, the save data from that game can be used to unlock the stickers in Smash Bros.

The developers obviously favour the Gamecube buttons.

You has to gets all of the crosses and put them in the middle I thinks.

I got this little thingamabob shaped like an N64 controller that was supposed to have over 75,000 retro games in it, but really it had about thirty repeated over and over and over, sometimes with different names XD

[JKTrix]

I played it a little yesterday after I found out about it. Weird thing is that everything is in English, though it's a Japanese game. It's kind of dumb, no big loss that it never came out. Nifty bit of history though.

Update: Tether Recovery. A technique that uses the character's grappling hook/plasma whip.

[Roto13]

That's not new. :P

[KH-Cloudy]

Well.....don't blame me! I'm just casually updating/bumping this thread. Blame someone else Nintendo for not recognizing sooner or just updating it for the newbs, not n00bs or noobs.

[KentaRawr!]

Heh, another Smash Bros. Brawl site seems to update daily.

Smash Bros. MOJO!! (http://mojo.rick-gardiner.com/index.html)

Todays update was Jirachi, whom according to the site does absolutely nothing. I guess it's making fun of Mew in Melee and 64.

[Markus. D]

Update: Tether Recovery. A technique that uses the character's grappling hook/plasma whip.

Maybe it will be more useful this time ._.

[JKTrix]

I was a master of the Hookshot save in Melee. I don't see how it could be more useful this time around though.

[KentaRawr!]

Maybe they made it longer? Or maybe quicker? o_o Either that, or they made it so that it locks on to the tip of the ledge.

Update : Peach...everything is the same about her except she will get a Final Smash

[JKTrix]

Despite already being a shoo-in for the game, she was already revealed in that Single Player video a week or so ago. Easy update for them this time, kind of anticlimactic for the end of the week.

[KH-Cloudy]

WOOO!! My favorite update of all :). Update time: LINK's SPECIAL MOVES!
Improved boomerang, now called Gale Boomerang
Hero's bow, same as SSBM
Bombs, same as SSBM
Spin attack!! Now chargeable.
Improved grab, it is now a Clawshot. Aims for the nearest edge.

Boo ya!

[Roto13]

Yay, the Clawshot and the Gale Boomerang! They were both a lot of fun in Twilight Princess. <3

[Craig]

I'm 50-50 about the boomerang.

On one hand, it is definately much cooler, on the other hand I got so used to the boomerang before and I couldn't fault it.

But this will probably be a change for the better so yeah, forget I said anything.

[Roto13]

i'm so glad my friend just got a Wii. This is gonna be World War when this game comes out.

[Evastio]

It's about time Diddy Kong made it in a Super Smash Bros. Game. Even though he isn't one of my most favourite Nintendo characters.

Personally I was thinking they'd put in King K. Rool or Cranky Kong as a Donkey Kong Series Character update. Yeah Cranky might be a weird character to put in but it would sure be funny being him.

[SnoopyG]

I hope Diddy still has his peanut pistols
