Some assembly required.
A nice "one hit KO item".
It's nice to see so much strategy in the game. The pics next to the icon is also a nice touch.

Edit:
Share feature is nice. Looks like you can send pics and messages. I wonder if it'll include trophies and stickers too?
Also, online updates, confirmed?

The "lock-on" screen is pretty sweet.

About the "Share" thing...just a general Wii complaint, but I'm just about running out of block room on the hard drive; I had to delete a VC game (albeit one I didn't care for) to make room. Granted, I have 5 N64 games, but c'mon, it's the 21st century! Spring for a bigger hard drive, Nintendo!

Have a happy new year.

So now we're down to two and a half weeks of updates before the Japanese launch.

Edit: Damn, Bill beat me to it.

Well at least there are some goodies from Jump Fiesta gameplay impressions...

~ Duster (Mother 3) AT
~ Rosalina (Mario Galaxy) AT
~ Sothe (Fire Emblem) AT
~ Kirby plays more like he did in SSB64
~ Pokemon Trainer shouts out his Pokemons' names
~ Mario's tornado is now his Down Aerial (not surprising, but now confirmed)
~ Mario Kart Lightning confirmed as an item; shrinks everyone but the user for a period of time (shorter than Poison Mushroom)
~ Zelda was playable, but I see no confirmation of Sheik...Turned off for Jump Fiesta or canned?

Wow, that's plenty of news.

As for the update, how very Powerstone-esque...

Power Stone 2 sucked...

The most disappointing thing about the site shutting down for a week is that they didn't end it on a high note, a big update to bring in the new year. True, the latest updates were LEAGUES better than the updates we have gotten in the last few months but if they were going to take a break to celebrate new year's they could've at least unveiled a character as a thank you for being loyal followers of the blog.

Its just goes to show you how Sakurai is locked deeply into his "no new character reveal" policy...

In a way I'm glad because I want new characters to be a surprise, but in another way I worry that there aren't that many characters left to be revealed. Especially ones I WANT to be in it like a unique Ganondorf!

Don't let the Dojo trick you into thinking Sakurai has shown everything from his bag of tricks... =)

Pap, I love Powestone 2.

Smash_Brother · « **Reply #3018 on:** December 28, 2007, 12:57:14 PM »

Honestly, he might as well just reveal the roster in the two weeks prior to launch.

It's not like we won't know THE DAY of the 24th anyway. We had pictures of the Japanese roster from SSBM the same day so I expect this to be the case for Brawl, unless Sakurai put in some fiendish code which makes it so you can only unlock one character per day and uses an online clock to synchronize so you can't just set your Wii's internal clock to fool it.

Besides, unless all of the secret characters are heinously obscure, they could be used to hype the sales of the game up even further. I expect him to reveal any remaining 3rd party characters before launch, since they'll DEFINITELY add to the hype.

I'd rather know so I can get the disappointment over with ASAP, and if I'm not disappointed, good, but I'm still concerned enough to want to know now instead of later.

Oh, and I was right on the money: two weeks of hype-inducing updates before launch.

I'm actually glad he's shutting the blog down for now. I'd rather wait until the 7th and get some sleep than stay up every night only to be disappointed by a crap update.

GoldenPhoenix · « **Reply #3019 on:** December 28, 2007, 12:59:05 PM »

If the game has Megaman and Ganondorf (unique moveset) I'll be happy.

Smash_Brother · « **Reply #3020 on:** December 28, 2007, 01:47:06 PM »

I'm actually lucky in that Sonic is confirmed in the game. So long as he doesn't suck as a character, I'm happy.

Also, Bowser is back and supposedly doesn't suck anymore. That alone makes me happy.

Maybe its just my cynical nature talking but I doubt Sakurai will be dropping megatons like a mad bomber in the two weeks prior to release.

He just seems so locked into his "no big surprise before launch" mentality that even after the whole world has caught Brawl fever he refuses to talk about Capt. Falcon.

I expect the megatons to be dropped by the media and the fans. I just KNOW someone will come out and post pictures and info regarding the final game.

And TanookiSuit, don't take my comment about Power stone 2 personally. I was just teasing GP, since she LOVES to invade a thread and remind people how much she hated a game

.

But in all seriousness I WAS disappointed with PS 2. The game suffered from "too much-itis", as in too much going on, too much to watch out for, too much insanity etc. etc. There were times were I was surviving the level more than fighting the other characters. The camera didn't help things either.

It was a good game but sometimes simple is better.

Don't worry, Bill. I'm sure Sakurai will post the update you've been waiting for soon enough.

You know.......that update......the one you have been dreaming, er, fantasizing about.

You know.......the one you told me you wish could come true a couple months back.

The one.......the one about Link...............breaking into your apartment and raping you........update.

hehe, couldn't resist mate

.

But in all seriousness; this isn't so bad. I'm thinking of not following the updates anymore anyways so I can surprise myself in a couple months.
