God I want this game to come out already lol. Yes I agree Dirk, a release date would be very nice . . . as well as confirmed online play.

Nice to hear they are tweaking a lot of the characters.

Well as long as we get some new info at E3 I'll be happy.  But there's some sad news to report, Brawl wont be playable at E3

Well since I already know how Smash Bros plays I guess it's not that disappointing but I was really hoping to see how Meta Knight would play and what his moves are.  Of course maybe they'll be a new trailer that'll show some of that so I'll remain hopeful.

Not a surprise, particularly. There wasn't much in the way of playable demos for Melee, were there?

Bowser is going to be awesome.  He is just beautiful to look at...and appears evil again...instead of cute.  

I think everyone is curious to see what it means by tweaked.  Obviously, the balance needed to be solved between fast and heavy characters...lets hope it has been.

As for it being playable at E3, I believe it and don't.  Yes, it will not be highlighted to all media at E3.  Nintendo is going to want E3 to be focused on Super Mario Galaxy, Metroid Prime 3, Battalion Wars Wii, Super Mario Strikers, and several of its DS games.  

However, behind closed doors print Magizines and probably IGN and Gamespot will be getting exclusive game time with Smash Bros Brawl...and if Nintendo feels it needs to show more after hearing what Microsoft and Sony is showing can reveal Brawl to everyone.

I think Bowser looks like one of those high detail stuff toys.  Also think its funny he's sporting better hair then Fox and Pikachu.

I agree with Spak-Spang.  It could still appear.  I mean by that time if they want it out by holiday it should at least be fairly playable.  From the updates it already seems to be.

Can't wait for BWII.  My Cube glitched on the first so I never finished it and I can't find the disc now.

i liked the way bowser looked in melee better, i think its cuz of the hair. i likd that spikey look to it. the new style looks like he has bed head and kinda of reminds me of ganondorfs hair...

that gleam in his eye do make him look sinister though

EASYCURE: I remember thinking(don't ask me why) this was a blond haired, blue eyed, chiseled athlete. Like he looked like Seigfried before he became Nightmare.

The hair is actually more along the lines of the 'classic' Bowser look IMHO. In that regard I like it.

I agree as well with Spak-Spang.

You know . . . (random side note) if Nintendo REALLY wants Metroid Prime 3 to fly off the shelves they should include a playable demo of SSBB. Imagine how fast the game would sell out =D

They should include that with BWii because the more people to play with the better.

Yeah, Metroid Prime 3 is going to sell good.  The real question is will BWii sell well, and any help it can get would be good.  Though a demo or Brawl with Metroid Prime 3 and a demo of Galaxy with BWii would ensure some great sells of both.


Now, I went back to look at the Bowser model to see what people were talking about highly detailed stuffed animal.  I can kinda of see it.  Though to me it looks more like a model or trophy which if you notice is still the theme of Brawl.

It also appears to me though that Bowser looks roughed up...like he has some scars from all his battles and such.  

Finally, I like his hair, bed hair or not, do you actually expect Bowser to wake up and do his hair, he is an evil turtle afterall, not a metasexual.

His lips look all puffy, and its giving the impression he's smiling too much.

Like "Hey kids!  I'm soft and full of candy!"
I must find a way to use "burninate" more in my daily speech.

The only problem I have with the model is his "nose" . . . look long enough at the main picture and it just looks weird lol.

Also if you look at Bowser from the top right screen shot you will notice his spikey hair isn't quite gone, it's still somewhat spikey =)

Personally think that MP3 and Mario Galaxy be a good pairing and, BWii and Smash be a good pairing.

Heres why.  MP3 Dark FPA/S where you go it alone; Mario bright platformer where you go it alone.  BWii action RTS for lack of a better term with what will most likely be a rocking online multi; Smash multi all the way.  Stark contrasts with similar targets.

Bowsers face area just looks like a stuff toy.

Ceric:  I can agree with your logic there.  So switch the demos.  Unfortunately, you know as well as I know demos won't be packed in with any games.


Well, one thing I have noticed about almost all 3D models is they are designed to be animated...when you see any model even the great models from Pixar or the top movies they begin to look wierd still.

LOL true but he looks like a punk rocker with all the spiked bands he has and the hair complimented that ;-)

To be honest, there are a LOT of characters that offer a slightly different flavor this time around. If you think they’re all going to be the same as they have been, it’ll be rough for you.


I glad that they're fixing broken characters and Bowser is the one that needs to be fix more than any other SSBM characters. Bowser would be my favorite character if he just move a lot faster....

First off rent not buy SPM.  Its worth a play through and a bargain pick-up if you haven't.  I haven't heard that remix but it was sort of grudgy using and electric guitar.

Well, I'm not going to get my hopes up yet, but Bowser is easily my favorite character and I'd love it if he didn't suck this time.

We'll if you look at the image of him hitting Fox, you see that his claw has a much longer reach then it did in Melee.  Which points to him being made into a better character since it looks like his attacks can actually hit people in this game.

Yeah, I did notice that and it looked immediately encouraging.

But I'll still hold out judgment until I actually play the game.

I wonder if that Claw attack is one of his specials though.  I remember a Claw swipe attack in Melee.

If it is not then it is good that Bowser is getting more range.   It also looks like his Shell Spin attack is different...but I dunno what that exactly means yet.

Long time no smash?

Bowser's toward+B would make him slash, which could result in either hitting an opponent or grabbing them if they were close enough.

It was an incredibly hard move to pull off, but throwing someone backwards after doing it equated the strongest throw in the game.

I still have Smash, but I sold my Gamecube and all the controllers to a little boy at church when I got my Wii.  I gave them an unbelievable deal.  ($50.00 for the system, controllers, and several games)  I just wanted to share the Nintendo love.

But now, I don't have any cube controllers and they are actually quite hard to find used...oh well.

i dont like renting games that are good (and going by reviews and all the praise it gets here, it is good) cuz even if its short (like i hear SPM is) if its that good i'll gladly play it over and over again. i never like getting rid of games.

oh and check this out: "Bowser is Pissed"
