Smash Bros. DOJO!! reveals a ton of new information on the hotly anticipated fighter.
http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/newsArt.cfm?artid=14155

Though Super Smash Bros. Melee was, first and foremost, a fighter, the single player playtime was lengthened by the inclusion of an Adventure Mode, which put characters through various side-scrolling missions and matches. In Brawl, however, this feature is going to be completely overhauled, now called Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary:

The game's director, Masahiro Sakurai, promises that this addition will be "a complete side-scrolling action game," and that "you’ll see many famous characters persevering under the weight of their personal histories, shouldering their unique burdens..."

Also included in today's update are screenshots the new campaign, including a sneak peak video of one of "[a] bunch of quick movies" that progress the story. In this video we get our first look at Princess Peach and a much better look at the strange creature from July 20th's update.

Stay tuned to Nintendo World Report as more on this game breaks.

I hope this time it's more than having half the stages consist of regular duels.

Does anyone else think that the video might be implying 4-player cooperative adventure play?

No... maybe multiple story branches but it doesn't imply 4-player coop

Is that Ridley in the sky against Link and Yoshi? If so, I hope he kills Yoshi. Little bastard.

No, that's still Meta-Knight's ship...

Sakurai always wanted a deep first player mode. Now he can do it. Now, if only WIFI can be confirmed!

Yum, yum, yum...Here's hoping for character-specific endings (and unlockables) as well!

Oh, you just know that that there'll be plenty of those.

All of the characters will end with a kid playing with their action figure.

It looks like it's permanently going to be trophies. A bit of a shame since I liked the doll angle of the first Smash Bros.

This story mode looks very promising from the screenshots. It looks like it will be a grand side-scrolling adventure collecting and crossing all of Nintendo's characters and worlds. I hope there will be plenty of wacky and witty cross-series scenarios! Even better would be specific final bosses for characters or sets of characters.

The game looks to be on track for a 2011 release.

For some reason I really don't think a 2 year development window is enough for all that.

With as many people they had and an already working formula to base it on. I could see it.

Great Scott! Marty could have been playing SSBB for a bargain bin price!

Now that you mention it, it seems like Ridley will have to appear as an Assist Trophy at the very least. But a playable Ridley would be awesome.

They sure love the Halberd (MetaKnight's ship), don't they?

If MetaKnight is evil, then I want to see a Star Wars-esque cutscene with Samus's gunship and the Arwings trying to take the Halberd down, with the Great Fox and the Falcon Flyer also providing support.

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #22 on:** August 03, 2007, 05:14:09 PM »

Metaknight isn't evil (as shown by him fighting through the stages himself), it looks more like his ship was stolen...

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #23 on:** August 03, 2007, 07:12:53 PM »

GTA2 main character in smash bros.

nickmitch · « **Reply #24 on:** August 03, 2007, 07:35:50 PM »

Isn't Ridley huge? I mean, he's a big guy. They'd have to scale him down quite a bit to make him playable.
