Furthermore, while Eguchi would believably be asked to deliver content for the stage, him "working" on it is a bit harder to swallow, considering that he should be working on the new AC game right now.

I also doubt he'd spill this instead of the SSBB site doing so.

Oh and...

And yes, trees will be decorated on Christmas!

Animal Crossing has never once referred to Christmas as such, nor has it ever actually acknowledged the DAY of Christmas because Toy Day replaces Christmas as a universal holiday on Dec. 24th.

In fact, some trees will be decorated BEFORE Christmas but their lights will only flash on new years eve and day.

Then, there's also the fact that the AC humans appear in the background...

I don't find it unbelievable; I wouldn't think designing the stage would've taken him an agregious amount of time, considering it's patterned directly off of two games he's done already.

"Animal Crossing has never once referred to Christmas as such, nor has it ever actually acknowledged the DAY of Christmas because Toy Day replaces Christmas as a universal holiday on Dec. 24th."

Not that I have complete faith in this rumour, but Toy Day doesn't exist in real life, which is what the game would be going by with the system calendar, after-all... =)

"I also doubt he'd spill this instead of the SSBB site doing so."

Tell that to Aonuma...

"Then, there's also the fact that the AC humans appear in the background..."

Can have multiple players in one town... =)  

[Smash_Brother]

There's still the fact that I can't find this interview anywhere else on the internet, and considering that, if it's to be believed, it confirms a character in SSBB, I'd think a lot of major news sites would've picked it up by now.

In fact, do a search on google for "KATSUYA EGUCHI: Yes, and there is quite a funny story to it." As of right now, I can't find it anywhere. Unless this JUST came out, then it should have found its way across the internet by now.

How many stages in the history of smash bros haven't had a character associated with them?

I believe the stage will have a character, I just don't believe it'll be the human. I could be wrong about the human character, but I still think this interview is BS.

The rumour is that it's a leak from Famitsu, which isn't even out yet...So it'd make sense for no one to know about it yet, if it does in fact exist...

[Smash_Brother]

I guess all that's left is to wait and see if it propagates or not.

Or if the AC human is revealed as a fighter.

[Pale]

It would be infinitely cool if the AC human was based off your Mii and they announced it at the same time as announcing the same feature in the Animal Crossing Wii game.

[Smash_Brother]

Someone on another board had the idea of the villagers in your town from AC Wii being the actual villagers in the background.

Though, the fact that they call it "Smashville" suggests that it'll be its own town and not the one in your AC game.

Give Bill credit for that one. He's been saying that the Mii character can also represent the AC franchise. Also, I remember a while back an interview that said that AC Wii would be using the Miis. It simply makes sense.

[Smash_Brother]

I doubt that will happen because we've already seen the "standard" AC human in the stage.

It would be a bizarre contrast to have AC human bodies with Mii heads fighting in the foreground but the classic AC human in the background.

I too expect the new AC to use Miis, but I think this stage is more a celebration of the older AC games.

Either way, the Mii character is more than a shoe in to appear in Brawl.

Speaking of which, when they do a Mii trophy will they use a generic Mii to represent the whole concept or will they step it up a notch and have the trophy feature your own Mii?

Coming from my CAG post:

Wow. No one has commented yet that all the screenshots show Gamecube buttons?

Green A, red B, yellow C stick, bean buttons...

actually i did on the page before you made that post, it just got lost int he shuffle.

really though, its not much to talk about, i was just pointing it out. They just really like using the gc controllers i guess

The problem with this is how do they know who "your" Mii is?

I believe you choose Mii faces for SSBB to go with your name so I can see how they'd use that in game if there is a Mii character, but how they'd do it for trophies is an odd question. I bet they'd just have some generic Miis.

[EasyCure]

why would they use generic mii's when they can use Iwata, Miyamoto, and Reggie??

Really?  Crap.  I scanned all the previous posts but I was doing it really quickly, as I am at work and try to be quick and stealthy in my postings.

Also they can't use a Reggie Mii, because he would win so hard the Wii would turn black, catch on fire, break, and then offer itself up to the greatness of all holy Reggie.

Also, Reggie flies like Powdered Toast Man.  But harder.

I'm totally on the "Iwata, Miyamoto, and Reggie Mii" bandwagon...Throw Sakurai in there too!

of course! how could i forget Sakurai, stupid stupid stupid.

i picture them in a "kirby hat" type pose where their all in some sort of action stance. that would be hilarious



oh and @ strell = post of the month! you've got my nomination. what makes it even funnier is that when i read your post and see that avatar, in my head you sound like that guy from the commercial

[Dryden]

Haven't been to the forums in a while... it's been busy!
I've given more thought to Mii characters as playable fighters - I can't imagine that they wouldn't be unlocked from the start.  Unlocking Miis means unlocking the menu to set up Miis to nametags, etc.  To hide that menu at first and make it come up later seems counterintuitive.

I'm loving the daily updates though, and today was no exception - I'm really happy that stickers are not replacing the awesomeness of hundreds of trophies.  But what I'm really blown away by is the sheer depth of the game.  Ten extra characters added to the roster including the three pokemon, (that we know of), stickers, trophies, more music, new stages, a full-fledged one player mode, online modes, and more still being announced...

It's going to be just like Melee - a top seller and system seller for the next five years.

First of all, I already mentioned that in order to play as your Mii you assign a Mii to your profile.

Second, I said explain the CONCEPT, not the character itself.

Like for example...

Mii
Mii is perhaps the most personalized Nintendo character ever! It is an universal game avatar which has reached worldwide sensation thanks to its simple yet very charismatic and fun appeal. The Mii also rivals Mario when it comes to being a Jack of all trades character. Whether it be playing sports, being fit or just having fun the Mii can do it all!

Wii - Wii Sports (2006)

Like that...

Aw, Diddy's Final Smash doesn't involve music...His taunt better be boombox-related...

Since Mashiro has mysteriously vanished, let me take his spot

OMG this final Smash is so cool, this game will be the best game in the universe, I mean Diddy Kong has guns!

[Smash_Brother]

I'm glad I stopped staying up for updates.

So far, the only updates I'm glad I stayed up until 3AM for (EST) were the Pokemans Trainer and Smashville. Everything else really wasn't worth losing any sleep over, although Pit's story intro was pretty damn cool.

[Pale]

I don't know how all of you guys stay up every night just to check these out.  Don't you work or go to school? =P
