Probably all the people who will be unlocked at the beginning, like in Melee.

Hopefully they can find a better way of showing them than those silly boxes.

PUT REGGIE IN SMASH BROS!!

You can't put Reggie in Smash Bros. You couldn't balance the game if he was in it. No character could smash him, and to accurately portray his power in Smash Brothers would be mind boggling.

I'm all for Reggie in the game. I'd also like to see Fred Savage from The Wizard in the game.

Spak-Spang · « **Reply #706 on:** July 13, 2006, 05:38:48 AM »

Tanookisuit. I think you should spell it Tanuki Suit. The oo was so stupid american would know how to pronounce it.

Don't forget Reggie's Sea Monster.

Here's my 10-cent Photoshop attempt at a box. Please ignore the horrible typography, I'm just trying to get my earlier ideas across. Plus it's fun.

But what you could do is have Reggie pop out of a Prize Ball when thrown. He insta-smashes everyone regardless of where you are and everyone would, of course, be nameless for the rest of the battle.

That's excellent.

Exactly what I'd recommend for box art: it shows off 3rd party characters, Samus for sex appeal and all of Nintendo's greats are still on the cover.

I expect that if Sonic is in the game, he'd also be on the cover.

Spak-Spang · « **Reply #711 on:** July 13, 2006, 08:02:21 AM »

I don't like the showing off of 3rd party developers. Personally I would go for a very simplistic box art. Stylized Logo of the game is all. Then on the back I would have huge images of from the game, with very little game text needed to describe the game. Everyone knows Smash Brothers now.

I really do like the Reggie popping out of a Prize Ball or Pokeball. It would be pretty funny.

However, I think I have the perfect roll for Reggie in Smash Brothers.

Move over Madden. Reggie will be the new commentor for Smash Brothers. With Reggie the man himself recording an hour or two of Reggisms for the game.

Ceric · « **Reply #712 on:** July 13, 2006, 08:18:29 AM »

Actually ax snake. Instead put the box on there. Now that I think about it all I don't want to see the third parties on the cover but I wouldn't mind in-jokes about them on the cover. Like the Snake box.

Smash_Brother · « **Reply #713 on:** July 13, 2006, 08:25:37 AM »

The cover is typically adorned with characters that people know and recognize.

SSBM included Mario, Bowser, Link and Pikachu (I don't count the boxes with the other character's faces in them because you have to examine the box a bit closer to realize who they are).

Roping in fans of other franchises is a sound concept because Nintendo fans are a sure-sell anyway. Why try sell to an audience which is almost guaranteed to buy your product already?

Fixed.

JonLeung · « **Reply #716 on:** July 13, 2006, 09:58:37 AM »

Was it actually confirmed that Mr. Game & Watch and the Ice Climbers got axed for Brawl?

Considering that there's probably still time for them to even yet finalize the fighter roster, Nintendo could change their mind even if they did say it.

Strell · « **Reply #717 on:** July 13, 2006, 10:02:58 AM »

NOTHING HAS BEEN CONFIRMED ABOUT ICE CLIMBERS OR G&W AND SUCH.

I like how a rumor from Gamefaqs, the unholy hell of all intermotron gaming sites, has persisted this long.

couchmonkey · « **Reply #718 on:** July 13, 2006, 10:54:52 AM »

Thanks for clearing that up, Strell. I didn't know the source, but I knew it was a rumour.

I personally think they should definitely have as many characters on the cover as possible. Not everyone knows Super Smash Bros - every Nintendo fan may know it, but I'd be willing to bet dollars to doughnuts that way more people recognize Pokemon, Mario, or even the Legend of Zelda than Super Smash Bros. And the group that's going to be the most ignorant is also going to be the most impressed by Snake and other third party characters, so I think Nintendo should put as many characters on there as possible. Every gamer should spot at least one character they love on the cover when they walk past.

Having said that, I miss the days of simplistic boxart when you could get away with nothing more than a logo or maybe a logo and an illustration (see Super Mario Bros. 3). I'd like to see more simplistic box art in general, but I think Super Smash Bros. is one title where more is definitely better.

So...

Animal Crossing is one of the DS's number one selling games in the world, foremost in Japan.

Who from Animal Crossing can properly represent the franchise?

Me? I'm thinking Mr. Resetti:

-He's the only character who comes across as the "fighting" type. Nook, K.K. and Blathers don't have the raw aggressive edge that he has.
-The human character would be too generic, as every player is customizable and will vary in appearance and gender.
-He already has a weapon: the pickaxe.
-He and KK were both trophies in SSBM (again, I doubt KK)

Out of all characters I'm hoping for, Resetti is my #1...

Strell · « **Reply #720 on:** July 13, 2006, 11:16:34 AM »

KK has a guitar.

Guitar >>>>>>> pickaxe.

KK FTW.

Kairon · « **Reply #721 on:** July 13, 2006, 11:22:00 AM »

Resetti would be more of an Animal Crossing stage event/fixture/obstacle.

Smash_Brother · « **Reply #722 on:** July 13, 2006, 11:32:31 AM »

KK is an esoteric stoner, though. Not exactly a "fighter" in any sense of the word.

An AC stage would have to have several of the characters running in and out of their houses, digging holes for the fighters to get stuck in, and occasionally accidentally whacking a fighter with a net while chasing a butterfly. Every once in a while, Mr. Resetti would pop up and make everyone sit still and listen to him rant for ten minutes before continuing the fight. Oh, and Nook would bust your kneecaps with a fishing rod if you didn't have his money on time.

That's because we weren't good little fish.

Ok seriously. Does Jigglypuff look like a fighter to you? He sleeps and sings. Not exactly killer instinct imo.

But point taken. Doesn't change that I'd like to see KK in there. He's just so damn cool.
