I'm glad what I was hoping for rings true with Samus...We didn't really need two separate characters...

It also adds a whole new strategetic angle to the character...It's perfect!

I'm actually happy about that too, and hope that Dr. Mario, as a seperate character, gets the axe as well so it goes back to each character being a unique person.

If you found those pics HOT!!!, wait till you see this shot of ZERO suit Samus.

I think she was trying out for an appearance in DOAX Beach Volleyball 2

I think Samus will turn into ZS-Samus after doing her super. I wouldn't mind if she automatically transformed after hitting 150% or something, but I'd prefer to have a choice if I wanted to transform or not.

I heard rumors that his was supposed to be the first FE game brought to the US but it never made it, but like I said, that has zero bearing on which characters get the axe.

I could see keeping Marth as a nostalgia character (because that's important as well), but I fully expect Roy to be gone.

I think it would be really interesting to have the game constantly updated online. They could keep adding new characters, maps, items, trophies(?) and could take time to balance everything out. Especially considering Sakurai's obsession with detail and balance, I wouldn't doubt that its possible.

wandering · « **Reply #382 on:** May 24, 2006, 09:58:35 PM »

I really doubt no characters will be added. Mainly because, what will the next game's selling point be if not new characters?

New costumes, levels, trophies, single player challenges, would all be nice.

Though what I really want - not that this is all that related to WiiConnect24 - is worldwide tournements that are open to anybody.

MattVDB · « **Reply #383 on:** May 24, 2006, 10:08:39 PM »

Tournies would be crazy cool. If they can get the netcode up to spec, that would just be off the hook.

The more I think about it though, the the more I become undecided about Samus having split characters. I mean, I like the idea of having different fighting styles, but it's not like you can quickly switch back and forth between them anyway. Samus' suit isn't pansy. Samus' suit is butch. Samus' suit shouldn't get blown up each time she fires a power shot. I mean, I'm really, really stoked about have "Zamus" but not at the cost of my currently much beloved heroine.

Mario · « **Reply #384 on:** May 24, 2006, 10:09:58 PM »

Plus that would mean everyone's version of Smash Bros will be different depending on where and when they have internet connection. Not something I want in Smash Bros, i'd rather they get it right the first time, like SSBM.

Also, I agree with Matt. I think the Samus' should be different characters.

Robageejammin · « **Reply #385 on:** May 24, 2006, 10:11:55 PM »

Yea I think those type of tournaments are a must and I'm sure the whole online system for the game will be much much more in depth than "friend codes".

MattVDB · « **Reply #386 on:** May 24, 2006, 11:11:18 PM »

Thinking about it more, and I've changed my opinion. IF, and only if, certain circumstances come to pass. Every/most characters have move altering power ups like this does to Samus, or getting the Smash Ball again gives Samus her armor back. Zero Suit Samus would then essentially be here super power. I could live with that. I would still prefer having two character slots, but eh, if I had to I'd be fine with this.

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #387 on:** May 24, 2006, 11:43:34 PM »

Don't be surprised if online play is pretty limited in this version of SSBB, I expect Nintendo to go for more money and offer up a SSBB Tournament edition about a year later with full online capabilities and a few extra characters.

Thats not what I want to happen, but I wouldn't be surprised if it became fact.

Kairon · « **Reply #388 on:** May 24, 2006, 11:58:23 PM »

I'm anticipating a Fall '07 release... and I'd certainly hope that they got 4-player brawls worked out by then!

Uh... A YEAR after the Wii launches, when the game was originally supposed to be a launch title? Somehow, I don't think so. April at the absolute latest.

Also, it's official, Samus is the best character in the game. Standard Samus is pretty high tiered, and with her speed, Zero Suit Samus will probably be even higher.

SSBB is being made by Nintendo, not Capcom. If the onlines limited they'll fix it up for the Smash Bros game for their next console which will be years later. Nintendo handles most of it's series very well in how sequels go. Smash Bros has gotten the Mario Kart treatment where there's only one per system.

So they'll be no

SSBB Tournament Edition
SSBB Turbo
Super SSBB
Super SSBB Turbo
Hyper Super Mega Ultimate SSBB Amazing Grand Turbo Nobody Cares Anymore Edition

Nintendo said sometime in '07, they did NOT say "early '07" just '07, so I'm going to assume a year after launch. Besides, Mario will hit 6 months after release, so that spots already taken in my mind...

SSBB will be pushed to fall 07 so it can be the AAA holiday title. Personally, I hope Animal Crossing Wiild World is '07 too

Spak-Spang · « **Reply #393 on:** May 25, 2006, 11:54:20 AM »

I think Nintendo waiting on this for November 2007 is the best plan yet. It gives a full year of work to really perfect the game, and add as much stuff to it as possible.

Besides The launch already has a great lineup of games, and I am pretty positive that Mario Galaxy will be the big March (Spring) release for the Wii. And the big summer game could be any number of games. By then Project H.A.M.M.E.R or Day of Destruction (whatever it is called) could be ready for release.

EA probably will have an exclusive version of SSX for the system as well sometime by Summer.

I fully agree. I want this game more than anything, I'd buy a Wii if this was the only game on it... but this will likely be the only SSB we get this generation, and considering that Melee was the game I played the most, even today, on my Cube I want them to nail this to perfection; I want this to be the best game it can be, as I know, especially with online, I will be playing it way more than anything else.

Spak-Spang · « **Reply #395 on:** May 25, 2006, 12:12:18 PM »

Arbok: I think even Nintendo fully understands the importance of this game.

Look at the expenses they have already developed for the game. They are huge. But they were also wise in giving precious source code for Melee to the development team to help cut programing time.

I believe this game could be right go WITHOUT online play by Summer...if everything goes well. Which means, I believe they will have a couple of months to really nail down online multiplayer.

What I expect to happen is they will get 4 player Wifi battles, but you will have limited items to use during the match. I would guess the Pokemon items would be dropped, and a few of the other larger explosive items. I also expect that online levels will be limited to more stationary levels and won't be the vastly interactive moving levels. Which is fine with me actually.

couchmonkey · « **Reply #396 on:** May 25, 2006, 01:09:03 PM »

I want it to launch whenever it's ready, though I hope that will be sooner rather than later. I really feel Nintendo ought to flood the system with games in the first few months next year. My preference would be one first-party game per month. This system needs to be irresistable.

Anyhoo, I'm glad to see Zero Suit Samus is part of the ordinary Samus character, but I agree that the player should have some control over when she changes. This makes me wonder, will Zelda still turn into Sheik? Presumably Sheik isn't in Twilight Princess...

I'd like to see alternative costumes for characters. I think I mentioned that with Dr. Mario, but I was thinking about some more possibilities yesterday and I got pretty excited about it. How about NES Open Tournament Golf outfits for Mario and Luigi? Better yet, for Peach? Miniskirt Get! Different versions of Samus' armour. Link wearing tunics based on Ocarina and The Adventures of Link. Mario in his Sunshine shirt and sunglasses. Ganondorf wearing the flowing robes from Wind Waker. It's not a really huge idea or anything, I just think it would be a fun addition, similar to what some other fighting games offer.

Luigi Dude · « **Reply #398 on:** May 26, 2006, 12:18:05 AM »

According to a recent update to the Japanese Smash Bros website, Sakurai says that for third party charactors, expect only 1-2 more. He also said the third party charactors MUST have appeared on a Nintendo system.

So that means we shouldn't worry about them getting out of hand with third party charactors.

If there's going to be only two more third party charactor, Sonic and Megaman seem to be the most obvious to me. Both charactors have appeared on Nintendo consoles and both charactors have a long history and are considered icons. Plus it's been my dream to have a game with Mario, Sonic and Megaman together in it.

Spak-Spang · « **Reply #399 on:** May 26, 2006, 05:12:14 AM »

Luigi Dude: If all they have is Sonic and MegaMan I would be completely happen. Those are the only two 3rd party characters I feel NEED to be in Smash Brothers.
