Guest Stefkov Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 It might have been discussed before but I was just reading about the Masterpieces. 'Masterpieces are called masterpieces for a good reason, and each of the well-loved characters here come from a past that is worthy of that title.' Snake? An old Metal Gear game popping up on the VC would be cool.
Cube Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 It might have been discussed before but I was just reading about the Masterpieces. 'Masterpieces are called masterpieces for a good reason, and each of the well-loved characters here come from a past that is worthy of that title.' I'm curious....I wonder if any non-VC games will have demos. Games such as: Pokémon Red/Blue (GB) WarioWare (GBA) or Wario Land (GB) Pikmin (GC) (unlikely due to space) I wonder why it's Super Metroid and not Metroid... And they should put Mother 2 and Fire Emblem 3 demos in the US/European games. Part of the reason (according to Sakurai) is to show where the characters came from so there's no reason not to include them.
Petey Piranah Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 I am actually looking forward to the final roster being leaked. Its taking far too long!!! The only details I am going to make a conscious effort to not read about are key plot details of the Subspace Emissary...
Helmsly Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 Todays Update: Vault The top menu contains six different modes, but I’ve decided to introduce the finer points of each mode one by one. Here’s the top menu. Let’s do a rough overview of the mode known as the Vault. The Vault is where items you’ve collected or created in Brawl are stored. Objects you’ve received as rewards or downloaded usually appear here. This is the Vault menu! Trophies & Stickers ●Trophy Gallery Browse your collection of trophies here. ●Trophy Hoard Line up your trophies and take photos of them. ●Sticker Album View all of your stickers laid out neatly in an album. ●Sticker Center Enjoy arranging your stickers. ●Coin Launcher Fire off volleys of coins to snag new trophies and stickers! Stage Builder You can create all sorts of stages here. Build stages like this one! And this one! If you connect to Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection, you might find something new waiting for you here. Album Check out your best snapshots here. Go to this link for more details. All the shots you take can be found in the Album! It looks like you might have a new snapshot waiting as well. Challenges Save up to 3 minutes of game play per replay. Of course, you can record your brawls... And your Home-Run Contests! And your runs in Target Smash!! And your exploits in Multi-Man Brawl! The power to record and send out brawl replays is in your hands. You can even zoom in for a close-up on individual characters while viewing replays. Masterpieces Savor the "authentic" battles past for many famous characters through Virtual Console trial versions! Find out more here. Chronicle This bonus feature lets you peruse Nintendo’s library of past titles. Missing titles in your Chronicle will gradually fill in as you obtain stickers and other things related to those games. (However, there are some titles that will not be displayed until the very end.) Mm hmm... ...This is just nuts. How on earth did we squeeze all these modes in here? I’ve clearly gone overboard with Brawl. But still, it’s not like I want everyone to play through every single portion of the game. I think I’d rather you played small portions of the areas you find interesting a little at a time. Whether you choose to go solo or play with friends, you’re covered, because Brawl is about playing the way you want to play. http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/index.html Also: Iwata Aks Vol.5 is now up: http://us.wii.com/iwata_asks/ssbb/vol5_page1.jsp
Serebii Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 Iwata Asks also confirms WW Link and Deconfirms Animal Crosser...
Petey Piranah Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 Confirming no Animal Crossing playable character: SAKURAI: The most important thing was simply whether or not it would make players happy. I mean, there are lots of popular games with characters that just aren’t meant for fighting and were too hard to incorporate into the Smash Bros. title. Heading the list of these characters are the ones from the games we just mentioned, Nintendogs and Animal Crossing. Because these are games played by lots of people, I knew players would be happy to see them make an appearance. This is why I wanted to find a way to put them in the game and why they became Assist Trophies. Confirming Wind Waker Link as a playable character: SAKURAI: Right. The development for Smash Bros. Melee began soon after the GameCube was released and we had to design each character from scratch. This time, however, we were able to borrow characters from various development teams, which was a big help. Take The Wind Waker and Twilight Princess from the Zelda series for example. We were able to design the Smash Bros. characters by adapting them just as they were modeled for the original titles.
Zelda_Rulez Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 So the 35 roster will probably turn out true then.
Guest Jordan Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 So the 35 roster will probably turn out true then. I'd always suspected WW Link to replace Young Link, that was fairly given. His attack set is probably a little different too. But for all we know, its not Cell shaded Link they included... but maybe Wind Waker Ganon? Not only that, but untill Thursday/Friday we aren't going to know for sure who is in or not.
peterl0 Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 Confirming Wind Waker Link as a playable character: That does not confirm anything. The question Iwata is asking is: So that’s why you try so hard. Although it’s simply a case of modeling the trophies, you have to design them in a way that fans will be happy with. This must take lots of effort. That could just as easily make him an assist trophy or even a collectable trophy.
Jonnas Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 Here is an Youtube account with all the videos seen on Iwata Asks. Wooo! Norris from EBA (Norris, right? Derek is the other guy) and Sheeda from FE1/3/DS! Also, Animal Crosser deconfirmed and Jeff from Earthbound is an AT! Man, too much information about collectables... Oh, and the interview definately doesn't confirm WW Link, as much as I want him in.
Cube Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 So the 35 roster will probably turn out true then. If the Animal Crosser isn't in then ROB certainly won't be in.
Zelda_Rulez Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 300ft of swimming? :huh: You can swim in stages like Delfino now, but only for a short time. You'd have to swim 300ft in stages like that during your fights. If the Animal Crosser isn't in then ROB certainly won't be in. You're right about that, and if this interview doesn't confirm Wind Waker Link like the above people (seeing as Tingle showed up in the video after that question) posted that means we still don't know anything.
Hellfire Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 Indeed, swimming, interesting. Sakurai, have my babies.
Cube Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 Indeed, swimming, interesting. Sakurai, have my babies. I wonder if there will be more water levels as it's now a feature in the game. Like a Wind Waker one.
Zelda_Rulez Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 There are a lot of videos here from the Demo Pod in Japan, including a lot of Pokemon Trainer footage. http://smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=139250
Owen Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 I wish they would just release the damn game now! Europe still not knowing a date is criminal, seriously.
blender Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 If you connect to Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection, you might find something new waiting for you here. AWESOMEvDownloadable charaters over wifi confirmed
Serebii Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 Just a small note of interest from the update The Japanese Dates seem to have more specific dates and it also features Diskun
blender Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 I hope that doesnt mean a 40 second trial is all we get
Gaijin von Snikbah Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 Why would anyone wanna play 40 minutes of Ice Climbers?
Serebii Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 Can anyone identify the bottom right game from the Japanese screenshot?
arnold Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 Swimming? Sonic Underwater Level?...the drowning music *Shudders*
Ike Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 Can anyone identify the bottom right game from the Japanese screenshot? Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem (or Fire Emblem 3). Also, Sheena from FE3 is a sticker so i dunno if that implies Marth's return or not.
Cube Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 Can anyone identify the bottom right game from the Japanese screenshot? Fire Emblem. The third on I think.
