Yep, seems establishing the team behind the game took longer than I recalled, although it did stick in memory about that E3 being the first time Sakurai was actually confronted with the idea of doing a Smash Bros for the Wii.

I do wish that old post of his was still live... I loved reading his shocked words about those people on his team that had rubbed down the "grooves" on the Gamecube joysticks from playing Melee too much. ^_^

[Mashiro]

Lol yeah I miss his old posts too.

Here's the problem with that logic, TVman.

Back when Endless Ocean, Mario Strikers Charged and Batallion Wars were announced they confirmed right away that they would have online play.

With Brawl, however, all that we have heard about the online play is that they only got 1 on 1 matches working and that stuff like leader boards and ranked matches would be hard to pull off.

Since then, nothing. The fact that they are keeping quiet and have said nothing but negative stuff leads me to believe that online was somehow scrapped and they are making up for it by including a detailed single player.

Of course, I am the first to admit that I could be dead wrong with this and there's the opportunity that they will make a massive announcement about it. I'm just saying that the silence on online play along with the big emphasis on single player mode leads me to believe that something is up.

I have a problem with that, too, but I don't see this as some sort of distraction from a lack of online play. with 85 update days to go, I just have to believe, for no reason other than my own stubbornness to not give up hope, that it will exist. I just really want them to be saving it for when hype for the game is dying down amongst the releases of other big name titles across the board.

When is this so called dying down of big releases? Seems like we have a pretty packed schedule this winter!

Well, think about it. We're all talking about Brawl now, but what are we playing? Strikers? Pfft. Now, what will we be playing this fall? A ton of sh!t, especially if you own more than one system. Besides, you can expect Brawl to be the talk of the town forever. All I was suggesting is that once it drops from the spot of the first four words on everyone's lips is when they'll announce online play.

If only you could see the games I am interested in this year, I have trouble getting excited about anything because there is SO MUCH!

And what would make you more pumped about Brawl than online play? There is simply just a better time for the announcement than right now.

Well I do hope you are right. Though I can think of one announcement that would make me happier.....SPORE THIS YEAR!

I was hoping tomorrow that we can all get together like this and throughly over examine each screen shot from this post. That should be a rousing good time.

The minute Spore ships is the minute my life goes down the toilet. So no... I would NOT be happy at such an announcement.

Yeah, I was really kind of hoping we could have done that tonight...

Anyway, is anyone else getting the Ganon vibe from the enemy above here?



Will be interesting to see what characters are, I guess, behind the things that happen in Adventure mode... and what it might be like, if at all different, when one plays as Metaknight or something there.

But does any of us know if spore will actually be any good?




Totally kidding but I felt like being a jerk

Looks like Ganon is trying to be Dr. Wily.

[NWR_pap64]

Bah, the argument isn't quite over. We still haven't heard Smash_Brother's opinion and we ALL know his feelings on Melee and Single Player Smash .

In all seriousness, I was wondering if they are going to include some of Peach's move from Super Princess Peach. Maybe her final smash is having the mother of all mood swings! The attack will depending on her mood. For example, if she's angry the stage gets on fire and when she cries she floods it.

The skill has a distinct Doctor Wiley feel to it . .  .

Edit: to hell with GP for beating me to the punch =P

I think pap should design the game.

Creepy. Anyway, I would love if some third party characters were tossed into the villain canon for whatever might be going on here. I'd rather have Sigma, myself, though, if we were dipping into the Mega Man universe for an antagonist... although I would also want him playable.

If I'm not mistaken that was actually Peach's attack in SPP.





Considering that the characters' attack have been inspired by their recent games so far I wouldn't be surprised if Peach did have her attacks from SPP.

Can it only be the X games on the SNES (They kinda made Sigma a babbling idiot towards the end of the X series on PS). But yeah classic Sigma would be so freaking awesome (and he would have his dog! <3)

[GoldenPhoenix]

I love SPP even though it was sexists.

[Arbok]

Okay, here is my big question:



Does anyone have any insight on whose arm that might be in the shot? Might be someone obvious that I'm overlooking, but nothing springs to mind.

I agree. Sigma in the first game would be my choice... lightsaber and all.

[Strell]

Awesome update.  

Good to see so many people arguing over the very thing I have a bet on!

DANCE PUPPETS.  DANCE!

[EasyCure]

This week were spoiled with such good updates that i can't help but feel next weeks batch will pale in comparison.

There's no way we'll get a great week of updates two weeks in a row and still have stuff to hype up the game to megaton proportions right before its release

Arbock I was going to ask the exact same thing about that woman but then I got side tracked and the dark side took over and forgot to bring it up X_X.

Perhaps it's Palutena? She is the goddess of light and she seems to be shimmering =)

Oh and Sigma with Lightsaber would be . . . well I think it would be insanity and just pure awesome haha. Thrown in Chrono and Frog and it'd be the greatest game of all time lol.


Edit: Look at the style of the dress. Matches the picture kinda eh?

[GoldenPhoenix]

HAha if you look at that Wiki page it says in Brawl that she may be in the single player mode. That was a quick update!

[EasyCure]

Sigma with his beam sword... Nah! there already is a chance this game will be sword heavy. Sigma from X2 with his wolverine/(strikers version)bowser type claws gets my vote! although his battle armor from X1 would make the better final strike. Giant wolf-looking robot shooting flames, electricity and slashing claws FTW.

also may i add, i don't like the idea of having 3rd party characters as antagonists in the single player. I'm not opposed to any being in the game, i just wouldn't want Smash to become a “Nintendo vs ...” affair
