OMG OMG OMF*CKING GOD!!!!!!!!

It hasn't updated yet : (

Strell · « **Reply #1601 on:** May 21, 2007, 05:27:13 AM »

Does anyone know an exact time? My buddy lives in Japan, and he's some 14 hours ahead. That'd put us at 1:30 AM over there right now.

Which makes me think we wont' see information until about 10-12 tonight.

Smash_Brother · « **Reply #1602 on:** May 21, 2007, 06:44:34 AM »

Luckily, I have enough stuff going on that I probably won't even think about this until later tonight.

Were this a few years ago, I'd just be pounding the reload button all day.

Current Time in Japan: 2:45 AM
Don't expect a site update until at least business hours. Soo.... another 5-1/2 hours minimum.

I checked GFAQs, and they said the update would be at noon in Japan. Apparently, that's 11pm EST. I may be wrong about the time difference though. They were all saying that the Nintendo home page said it would be noon.

Dryden · « **Reply #1605 on:** May 21, 2007, 08:05:58 AM »

I used the google translator on Nintendo.jp:
May 22nd in the afternoon, the [sumabura] fist does [riniyuaruopun]
Not that I understand that, but it links to the Smash Bros. Page. sooo..... 'In the Afternoon'.

It's 4:00 AM over there right now. Noon in Japan is 11:00 PM Eastern, 8:00 PM Pacific.

Also, here are my predictions for this announcement: Gameplay footage shown, confirming returning characters from SSBM (at least the 14 unlocked from the top of SSBM, if not more), Sonic the Hedgehog as a big 'reveal', kinda like Snake was last year around this time, Miis as playables... and at least five new stages revealed. I can't wait to see the new character renders of Captain Falcon and Bowser, especially.
Note: I hold onto the belief that no characters will be cut, since SSBB is being built from the code for SSBM, so there's no reason characters couldn't make it in. Even Ice Climbers.

I expect some of the clones to be left on the cutting room floor, in particular Dr. Mario, Pichu and Roy. Just a guess, though.

at noon? hmm... that means it'll be around midnight here...

I certanly hope they don't take Roy out (his playstyle is quite different from Marth's)

They should make them alternate costumes and not waste a character space on them.

Luigi Dude · « **Reply #1609 on:** May 21, 2007, 09:03:43 AM »

Damn so the site wont be updated until around 10 p.m for me, and the library closes at 9. Ahhh I need a computer for my apartment. Guess I better get up early tommarrow because I'll have a lot to catch up on.

I'm predicting that this topic alone will have over 5 more pages by the time I get to the nearest computer tommarrow.

Smash_Brother · « **Reply #1610 on:** May 21, 2007, 09:08:34 AM »

I'd wager 10 pages.

And for the record, if this turns out to be all for nothing, I WILL start mailing fire ants to Japan.

It would be one thing if the site just updated one day with new info, but for them to hype the sh*t out of this with a WEEK LONG COUNTDOWN and it turned out to be nothing but a new trailer, then someone needs to beat some sense into them.

Adrock · « **Reply #1611 on:** May 21, 2007, 09:26:47 AM »

If they include alternate costumes (and they better!), I'd die if one of Snake's "costumes" was Liquid.

I expect at least a release date, Wi-Fi specifics, and one new trailer. However, if they're re-launching the whole site, I fully expect much, much more such as individual videos for several characters (like the Metroid Prime Hunters site).

Luigi Dude · « **Reply #1612 on:** May 21, 2007, 09:45:59 AM »

Well I'm sure they'll be something new announced, since the last bit of info we got was over 6 months ago when they showed Fox. I think at the very least we'll see Donkey Kong, Yoshi or Caption Falcon shown off along with a new video of the other characters in action.

There probobly wont be too much else besides that though because I think Nintendo's waiting until E3 in July before they reveal everything. I'm guessing that this site update is only going to be a taste to get everyones attention again and then blow us all away come E3.

I dont think anyone should expect the game to have WiFi play.

I hope this is sarcasm, because it's been said multiple times it will have it.

Now, whether or not that actually happens is a different discussion. But anyone paying attention knows to expect it to have wifi, and if it doesn't, we'll all have a legitimate reason to be pissed.

Arbok · « **Reply #1615 on:** May 21, 2007, 03:35:39 PM »

$5 says that if they announce Wi-Fi as being for two players at a time only, people on here will go ape$hit till they are blue in the face and this topic will crack three digits in page #s in a matter of days.

stevey · « **Reply #1616 on:** May 21, 2007, 03:55:24 PM »

I bet they won't update till 3pm-8pm japan time and none of us will get any sleep tonight

Edit I was right 11pm EST GET and no update>

Dryden · « **Reply #1617 on:** May 21, 2007, 04:25:16 PM »

$5 says that Wi-fi will be two players at a time - and it won't be competitive, but some bizarre co-op / race play. The mechanics in Smash battles fly far faster than the Wii is capable of transmitting. I'm putting my money (all $5 of it) on some interesting variation of Smash Bros Adventure mode for Wi-fi... think Little Big Planet with punching.

Tanookisuit · « **Reply #1618 on:** May 21, 2007, 04:30:42 PM »

Surely the limit wil be more like "2 systems" not "2 players". I'd be happy with 4 players on 2 systems.

LOL WAKE UP PEOPLE, THE NEWS COUNTDOWN WAS A LIE. MOVE ON TO BETTER THINGS.

18 Days · « **Reply #1620 on:** May 21, 2007, 05:04:02 PM »

Face it, the game is cancelled.

Oh c'mon, if Gamecube could handle Phantasy Star Online, Gamecube 2.5 can handle Smash Bros. The engine's from the N64 days, and the graphics don't look so complicated that they couldn't be transmitted over broadband.

18 Days · « **Reply #1622 on:** May 21, 2007, 05:04:56 PM »

Graphics streamed live over broadband! It's a brave new world we live in.

Kairon · « **Reply #1623 on:** May 21, 2007, 05:24:23 PM »

Mikintosh, Smash Bros. is a FIGHTING game. In those games, frames are very important, because split seconds determine whether your move hits or his move hits. Virtua Fighter 5 on the PS3 had its online component scrapped because they weren't happy with lag, and I've heard that the lag is also noticable on XBLA's Street Fighter 2 when played online.

GAH! 2 hours later and still nothing.....
