Ohhhh! SOMETHING is coming at the end of september for Wii Connect 24!

Not only that, but look to the end of the interview:

Interviewer: Maybe one day I'll play against you from you in Seattle and me in LA, head to head online.

Reggie: Absolutely. Maybe a game coming soon. *Massive smile on Reggie's face*

Interviewer: Like..?

Reggie: *smiling makes a semi-shruging gesture*

Interviewer: Not for this year right?

Reggie: *smiling still and semi-shrugs again* We'll talk about that next time.

Interviewer: There could be something coming this year? Maybe Super Smash Brothers?

Reggie: You never know.

Interviewer: Thats online right.

Reggie: *head tilted with a big smile*

Interviewer: There's that knowing smile.

Reggie also owns the interviewer in the Wii Fit soccer game.

That's after the Tokyo Game show, right?

Mashiro · « **Reply #2 on:** July 24, 2007, 02:04:04 PM »

TGS happens around the end of September I believe.

Edit: Yep Sept. 20-23

Hmmm, Demo Channel maybe? Actually, it's probably not a good idea to get excited for something of that caliber...

Damn interviewer is trying to sink Nintendos Wii ship by getting peoples hopes up (obviously Reggie can't deny it), to set up a storm of hate when it's announced there's no online, everyone will hate Wii and PS3 will stage a comeback. I can already see the media headlines of broken Nintendo promises, how they lie to consumers and why they are the next evil. I wonder how much Sony paid this interviewer?

SSBB will be online, its been said, implied and hinted at so many times, that everyone has knows its coming but everyone is still waiting for the official announcement.

As long as it's not anything that has to do with Miis or online polls, it'll be good.

I'm sorry, but given some of the events lately, I put Reggie's credibility a smidge higher that Casamamsasmkasmasmima's.

I'm really more of a "it has to be right the f*ck in my face for me to believe it" person this time around.

Which is to say, I'm just like your mom.

The sequence of events has been this:
1) Sequel to Smash announced as launch title
2) Sequel announced to be online also
3) Time passes, formally titled Brawl, revealed at E3 2006
4) More time passes
5) More time passes
6) Profit
7) More time passes

Website goes up
9) No one has said anything about online lately, including Reggie, Sakurai, and the rest of Nintendo

It's really, really difficult to ignore the silence on this matter. I see it from a simple standpoint, which is that if it were online, they'd be hyping the hell out of it.

They aren't.

That is bad juju and a bad premonition.

Kairon · « **Reply #9 on:** July 24, 2007, 03:50:10 PM »

Maybe...maybe... they were talking about Godzilla?

mantidor · « **Reply #10 on:** July 24, 2007, 04:09:10 PM »

There isn't absolute silence, Sakurai has said they are working on it but it has its problems, which means nothing of course but it isn't exactly silence.

That could be worse, knowing Nintendo's track record, which tends to usually boil down to something like "we tried to make it online, but it was going to delay the game and was proving too difficult, so we tried to focus on making it the best single player and local multiplayer game we could."

Which is kind of like saying "we tried to make you brownies, but the store was 5 minutes away and we were out of eggs, so instead we just thought about how awesome they'd be instead."

Except...we're actually...getting something...

This analogy gets a C-, go back and try again!

Actually that just isn't true. Reggie has made it indirectly clear that he is holding something back about online and SSBB. He hinted at it during part 1 of 3 in an exclusive interview w/ Steven Totillo from MTVnews.com on his mtv blogpost. I don't have a link, but the interview took place during E3 and the hints were just as strong as the ones quoted in this thread.

edit: Here is the link, remember though, its not about what Reggie says during a dodge, its how he dodges that should be payed attention to.

I sure hope so. And I hope he gets to wear hats, too...

Oh, and the WiiConnect24 thing? My money is on online multiplayer for some VC titles.

I don't know.....

The best thing about Bond for me was the verbal exchange of emotions from each participating player. If there is no verbal exchange, then I might as well not play. (Seriously, there is no way LTK with throwing knives could be the same online)

Well, technically, Goldeneye has recently gotten better. Check out www.rarewitchproject.com for more details.

Its nice to see a voice of reason among all the fanboy gushing going on these days.

Wow this interviewer is really ignorant. He could be playing Reggie online this month with Super Mario Strikers, so Reggie could have been smiling at the interviewers complete lack of faith in Nintendo and lack of homework on software.

Like can we play you Reggie online soon?

"Yeah dumbass, you can play me this month in Strikers, or later this year in Battalion Wars 2, or Medal of Honor Heroes with 30 other people, or Dragon Ball Z 3, or Madden, or FIFA. There will be tons of games you will be able to play me online coming from Nintendo and 3rd parties, so get your doubting head out of your ass...and don't worry about Brawl so much. It is coming along well."

There is that knowing Smile of your Reggie.

Here's my 2 cents about Super Smash Bros. Brawl. It was announced as a launch title and that it will be online long before Nintendo displayed any games for the Wii. The hardware wasn't even finalized. Wouldn't you think that Iwata's juice at Nintendo, being the head honcho and all, would allow for hardware that took Super Smash Bros. Brawl online? If I'm the president of NCL, I'd make that happen. 1 out of 2 promises is better than batting 0 for 2.

This game will be online...and I predict some voice chat with it. Shoot, if the DS can do it...why not its bigger and (hopefully) more powerful brother...the Wii.
