Well so much for a super fun holiday season ::sighs::.

At least this SHOULD mean that it'll be as good as it will ever possibly be and nothing should be rushed.

Still extremely disappointing but we knew it was coming after it was put back on TBA watch for the release date and Japan was delayed.

Well on the bright side I might not fail all my Fall semester classes because of Smash Bros.

I'll now fail all my Spring semester classes.

Hey, we're still getting Battalion Wars, Fire Emblem, and Galaxy, the holiday season is fine.

More Third-Party Characters Confirmed.

Brawl Officially Delayed until Feb. 10th in the US.

Well, I think that gives the team at least 2 more solid months of development time. This should really help the game.

Not to mention Meta Knight sounds like an amazing character. Which is great since Meta Knight is the newcomer I've been excited about the most since E3 2006.

You forgot one:

Other attacks we've seen already include a floating Metroid that sucks onto battlers

Score another point for Bill.

NinjaWang · « **Reply #1557 on:** October 11, 2007, 07:51:14 AM »

I'm hope they get a bit more indepth after a little longer with the game, There are characters we don't know Final Smashes for on their demo as well as items, pokemon, AT's and the like. Could finally find out about mario's tornado.

The costumes really got me excited, Nice to know its not just palette swaps and actual costumes/variations, interested to see what they do to each character.

Link's new attacks lend themselves well to combat as well, as he can charge his spin attack to higher levels, pull players in with the boomerang, and seems to be stronger overall. Since each character can also switch colors pre-fight, Nintendo took the opportunity to seamlessly include Dark Link as one of the character options. He fights the same, but looks totally badass, which is a must.

I <3 you Nintendo.

we've been told that the customization on any of the styles is endless, actually letting you move any button to any position on any control type. Sounds good to me.

I really love you Nintendo.

This Wii version uses Melee as its foundation and builds upwards from there. The control and fighting mechanic hasn't changed a bit…but every character has had their core attacks and abilities been balanced and fine-tuned.

What I figured but glad to hear it.

Glowing impressions so far (as if there was any doubt), can't wait to try it myself ^^!

Sessha · « **Reply #1559 on:** October 11, 2007, 08:13:34 AM »

Dark Link is going to be so damn cool. and Metaknight kind of came out of left field he sounds way better then how I thought he was going to be.

Smash_Brother · « **Reply #1560 on:** October 11, 2007, 08:23:33 AM »

I'm curious how heavy characters will play, specifically Bowser.

I'm not super worried because I'll have Sonic as a fast character one way or another, but I'm probably more curious about the balancing they've supposedly done with heavy characters than anything.

that Baby guy · « **Reply #1561 on:** October 11, 2007, 08:30:52 AM »

Well, remember that heavier characters have attacks that allow them to remain unphased when hit in the middle of them. Sure, they'll take damage, but for once, they'll be able to dish it out, too.

Luigi Dude · « **Reply #1562 on:** October 11, 2007, 08:40:27 AM »

OMG OMG OMG ACTUAL GAMEPLAY VIDEO!!!

Video 1
Video 2

It's offical, character intro's have returned people. And wow does the game look great in action. The animation for all the characters is just amazing.

Caterkiller · « **Reply #1563 on:** October 11, 2007, 08:47:29 AM »

So far I see nothing but pallet swaps on Mario and the other characters, hopefuly as the game goes on we can unlock actual costumes. Cause Link couldn't be the only one right? Unless he gets the Pokemon treatment.

Finaly the screw attack looks powerful again, its not over befor it even starts. Now we can see the "bam bam bam bam!" of it.

Man, people must be attacking the servers like crazy, the pages are taking FOREVER to load!

LuigiHann · « **Reply #1565 on:** October 11, 2007, 09:01:35 AM »

edit: posted in the wrong thread.

Is Dark Link even "not a palette swap"? Polygon-wise, he's still the same, right?

Luigi Dude · « **Reply #1566 on:** October 11, 2007, 09:02:12 AM »

I was lucky enough to be one of the first to get to the page so it loaded fine for me. But now the rest of the internet has found out and so yeah, it's going to take awhile.

UltimatePartyBear · « **Reply #1567 on:** October 11, 2007, 09:04:54 AM »

It still loaded fine for me.

Was that a Geemer sitting on the stage when he got the Advance Wars trophy?

Luigi Dude · « **Reply #1568 on:** October 11, 2007, 09:10:08 AM »

Now IGN has loaded a new video that shows Meta Knight, Diddy Kong, Mario and Yoshi fighting on Castle Siege.

IGN video page

So much Smash Bros goodness for one day, quick repent everyone because the world is about to end.

Mikintosh · « **Reply #1569 on:** October 11, 2007, 09:11:52 AM »

Sucks about the release date (good thing I haven't pre-ordered yet), but holy hell, this looks awesome. I finally get how the Final Smashes fit into the game, and I think it was a great idea. Wish the guy in the Samus vs. Mario video had kept the camera on for a few seconds longer so we could see the result screen, but whatever. Sweet!

PS, the game looks great graphics-wise, more than I was able to see from the screenshots uncontextualized videos from before. On the Wii I've really only played Zelda (originally for the Cube), WarioWare (not a powerhouse by any means), and Metal Slug (old, old stuff) so I was pleasantly surprised by how smooth everything is. It almost looks 360-quality, though I'm sure I'll get beaten down for that rather quickly.

P.S.S. Advance Wars? Hells yes.

NinjaWang · « **Reply #1570 on:** October 11, 2007, 09:14:18 AM »

Ign has up some new videos aswell, game looks incredible

Edit: Beat me too it, but Here their embedding all videos So if you are having a problem loading those other pages go here, It was how I got it to load

Mikintosh · « **Reply #1571 on:** October 11, 2007, 09:27:30 AM »

P.S.S.S. Green Mario = Luigi ain't coming to the party? It wouldn't traumatic, but he's a veteran for crying out loud!

You do remember that one of Mario's alternate costumes in Melee was the same thing right. So don't worry, Luigi's still in the game.

UltimatePartyBear · « **Reply #1573 on:** October 11, 2007, 09:35:19 AM »

DRILL DOZER ASSIST TROPHY! Castle Siege video, 27 seconds.

Also, we can finally see what's under the castle. For a second I thought that we were all wrong about that Metroid stage.

Smash_Brother · « **Reply #1574 on:** October 11, 2007, 09:45:20 AM »

Character intros are DEFINITELY back: Yoshi pops out of an egg right at the beginning of that video when the match starts.

Also, this game looks just as fast if not faster than Melee...
