Nintendo said it was Western developers asking for the analog sperm; I think that means Nintendo's in house games may only be using the remote.

I thought that they said that Western developers didn't "get it" until they saw the ANALOGUE ATTACHMENT; but Nintendo had already made it. But I do agree that there will be a fair number of first party games that will use only the remote.

EDIT: Yeah, thx Artimus, that's what I meant/

It wasn't the shell, it was the nunchuck. And they didn't know if they liked it until they saw that.

Sakurai is back to direct SSB3, to the relief of fans everywhere...I called it, so everyone can stop worrying about where the game is going to go...

yeah bill...you may have called it...but according to IGN, his involvement with the project began after E3 2005, which means that the project isn't even that far along...

now i'm doubting myself...was it E3 2004? or E3 2005?...somebody?

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #105 on:** November 16, 2005, 11:14:46 AM »

It was first announced at this past E3, but do you really think HAL hadn't started it till then? I think not...

ThePerm · « **Reply #106 on:** November 16, 2005, 02:24:19 PM »

i think hal started right after the last game..and theyve already made two sequals....which will be rleased 2 years after the other. Causing a halo effect

IceCold · « **Reply #107 on:** November 16, 2005, 02:34:04 PM »

Oh no! That means that the first one won't be online! Noooo

Fantastic! Sequels are always way better when the original creator is involved.

Ian's been awfully optimistic lately...

Well, if you believe in the "The Wachowskis stole that woman's script" theory then the Matrix is no longer an exception.

Smash Brothers: The Movie

Ooh I want royalties

You know the original director coming back could be a sign that design wasn't going well.

Or it could mean that they have character designs and art done, and now they want a Vet to balance the gameplay and ensure the game is everything its supposed to be.

What do you guys think about the game "not being as far along as you may have thought"? That kinda worries me. I have my doubts about how good it can be if it's not very far along right now, and it's slated to be released along with the Revolution.

Meh. With the exception of some new features and possibly new modes of play, I don't see how much more improved the setup in smash bros could be. They still have a year if they want SSB to launch with the Rev, and if it misses launch I don't see it as a huge deal as long as they have other games at launch.

Sakurai's comments suggest that Super Smash Bros. may not be as far along in development as some had initially thought. At E3, Nintendo raised Smash Bros. for Revolution as an example of the Wi-Fi connection program that would kick off with the DS later in the year. Actual production hadn't begun at the time.

First IGN basically says "the tone of his voice suggests that..." and then they state something similar as an unequivocal fact.

That's IGN for you.

i disagree.. of course original content is a necessity and I think that having a killer IP is essential to teh Rev's sucess, but without SSB at launch Nintendo would be screwing over many many diehard gamers. It's games like SSB that sell multiple consoles and peripherals in groups of friends.

... anyone else think about how cool it would be if they did the faceplate thing for the remotes? they'll be so easy to carry around that you could slip it in your backpack and always be ready for a game at your buddy's house... that's assuming that there are plenty of games that solely use the freehand remote

odifiend · « **Reply #120 on:** November 18, 2005, 01:33:15 AM »

How would Nintendo be screwing die hard gamers by not releasing SSB as soon as the Revolution launches? The game would still be coming just say 3-6 months later. Especially if the Rev ends up being released in summer, SSB would be a good winter release.
SA, remember Mario 128-Rev-whatever is still supposed to be coming out...

KDR_11k · « **Reply #121 on:** November 18, 2005, 02:42:05 AM »

I don't think SSBR will take that long to make, unlike story driven games there isn't that much environment or NPCs to make in an SSB game.

Don'tHate742 · « **Reply #122 on:** November 18, 2005, 03:29:43 AM »

I believe that Nintendo has already created many of it's franchise charachters for REV games beforehand. This will allow HAL to concentrate on the game's engine (although it might use the SSB:M engine with upgrades, which I'm perfectly content with), levels, and modes.

The part that will take the longest to create is the games engine and charachter balance. Since they could be rehashing the SSB:M engine, it could take drastically less time to make when compared to SSB:M (which I'm assuming was made from scratch). Considering that most franchise charachters for the REV have already been created, SSBR has the possibilty to be ready and polished by next August, easy. If the REV launches at the time (most plausible guess-timation), then we have a launch title on our hands.

good point odi; that was poor word choice on my part, and I completely forgot about a new 3d mario... jeez thinking about it now gets my pulse racing. I suppose new mario is plenty enough first party love for the launch, but people want online options, and nintendo needs to provide a solid online title at launch to prove that the WiFi connection will treat rev owners as nicely as it does DS fans.

My point is that Casuals who get their info from G4tv will see the cool controller, some wacky japanese micro games and cooking sims, and a new mario and think "hey this is cool".. as opposed to seeing a new SSB game AT LAUNCH and think "omfg i need that, SSB 64 is starting to get old"
(its odd but I know almost half a hundred people who wont play SSb:melee with us around the dorm but stay up till 3am playing the original because it has "more strategy",,, whatever their reasons are, it generally boils down to not being able to keep up with the moving stages or dodge moves)

Anyway, Nitnendo would not be screwing us, for they'd be making a better game, but think about the opportunity cost of spending 3 to 6 months on a game that could propel the rev launch to new heights, a game that could potentially bring back all those morons who left nintendo when they saw Halo. SSB before christmas could lock the rev in for the best christmas present around. college students aren't going to drop $500 for Ps3 setup for the dorm, nor will parents paying tuition fees ... but a $250 Rev setup (system, game) is far more plausible.

If they release SSB 2-3 weeks after the launch, they'll be in good shape. Otherwise that needs to be out on day one.

Funny how I forgot about Mario; I don't know how I'm going to spend my time when the Revolution comes.

King of Twitch · « **Reply #124 on:** November 18, 2005, 10:19:11 PM »

Yea they could still delay just because they might have 'too many games' at launch, like the Cube. I doubt they knew at last E3 whether or not it will really make it in time or not.
