Smash Bros. Brawl!

[MaiXu]

From IGN: New Super Smash Brawl for Wii! (http://revolution.ign.com/articles/707/707504p1.html)

Details are just now rolling in, but we have confirmed the following playable characters:


Pit (Kid Icarus)
Solid Snake (Metal Gear Solid)
Zero Suit Samus (Metroid)
Meta-Knight (Kirby)

Check out some video as well! (http://media.revolution.ign.com/media/748/748545/vids_1.html)

Thanks Kamalot and Food Nipple for similar submission.

[Draft]

Everyone's missing the most important part because they're too excited about Snake.

SMASH BRAWL USES REGULAR CONTROLS.

No motion sensing, no wiggling left or right to attack. Straight up gamepad.

This leads me to two conclusions-

1. Smash Brawl won't suck. The game just wouldn't work with a mouse (gyroscopic or not. Cue the nintendo faithful spinning how it will revolutionize every gametype EXCEPT fighters.)

2. the "classic" gamepad will be standard with the system.

[bone_matrix]

Solid Snake? That is awesome. I mean, I'm not a fan of MGS, I think. (I own all 3 games, but haven't played them yet) But, people who like Snake will buy a Wii for it. I mean, the Wii and Smash Brawl will still only be half the price of the PS3. :D

(I had too)

I love me some more Smash. Looking forward to this. I wonder how many more suprises Nintendo will have?

[Deadend]

Phew, I heard it would be announced, but I was getting worried. I hope Snake uses a cardboard box.

[EternalGamer]

The most awesome thing is this:


The game also features a range of new nasty toys, such as the ability to unleash puppies from Nintendogs that will run up to the screen and put its paws on it and obscure the view of the action.

Any game with both Solid Snake and Nintendogs is awesome.

[Food Nipple]

I believe the phrasing of the announcement was that the game would be "fully compatible" with gamecube controllers; I take that to mean that wiimote controls will probably be offered, but the classic controller seems like it has to be the superior method of control.

[Mozgus]

All I care is that it's still coming. They didn't even mention smash bros at the conference, whereas last year they said it would be a launch title and that they already were playing matches against each other. I was so worried they canceled it.

[Phanto]

Yes I just read that on mIRC a moment ago..
OMG... I'M STARTING TO C...U...M.......ERMM I MEAN FEELING GREAT, right now I'm so hyped about this that I'm going to start playing tommorrow Smash Brother Melee again.
I'm really hoping that they don't create clones of charqacters just like they did in SBM ;) .

BTW you can read a more complete article of what happend when they show Super Smash Brawl to the journalist..at Gamespot: clicking here (http://www.gamespot.com/news/6150506.html)

[EternalGamer]

Strangely, it really seems like Nintendo has too much good stuff coming. I don't think they could have focused on all of it at their press conference. Lately they have been having the opposite problem, so it's really nice to see the flood of software for the Wii. It's off to an excellent start.

[EternalGamer]

New info: Online play, but delayed until 2007. And for the guy that asked, yes Snake appearently does have the cardboard box.

[EternalGamer]

1. Smash Brawl won't suck. The game just wouldn't work with a mouse (gyroscopic or not. Cue the nintendo faithful spinning how it will revolutionize every gametype EXCEPT fighters.)

2. the "classic" gamepad will be standard with the system.

I don't know that you can assume either of those. The motion control isn't an "all or nothing" thing. It can be implemented in subtle ways. But mainly, your second conclusion seems very skeptical. Just because it doesn't use the motion capabilities, doesn't mean you can't still use the nunchuck and remote control. It would still work fine.

[Wasson_]

Here is my prophesy for today-....I see the color blue...

*goes into trance

That blue lady-fox, Krystal, from the last two Star Fox games will be unlockable. And...Sonic will finially be able to duke it with Mario. Mega...man....

*Wakes up


and oh yeah - this is the Solid Snake version you'll be getting-

[Draft]

It does use the motion control, too. The early reports were mistaken.

I'm sure it will use the nunchuck, and you'll move your guy with that, and then attack by flicking the remote. I'm also sure that everyone will try that for 5 minutes, and then go back to playing it the way it's meant to be played.

But you're right, since Wiimote control is in there, I'm now not so sure that the pad will be packed in.

[Pinku!]

*sheds another tear* Wii Smash, playable Pit, AND online...?

Once again, like others have said before me, Nintendo's managed to make me feel like an excited 12 year old again. I haven't been this giddy in, oh, FOREVER.

Not only will I now be able to Smash with my buds across the country, I can now introduce my fiance to the wonder that is Smash. Especially since Capcom vs. SNK is forbidden in our house due to someone's cheap skills with Vega.

If Nintendo doesn't stop with this deluge of awesomeness I think my little gamer heart will explode...not that I actually want them to stop that is. :D

[JediSanf]

Ohhh, I really want to see the announcement video.

[Harlan Hoyt]

I don't understand the antagonism against motion control in this one. Use the nunchaku to move the character, jump, charge, and flick the controller to smash -- should be amazing.

[Food Nipple]

Based on the screens, the blue female character is indeed Samus without her armor. One of the screenshots shows a giant explosion causing her suit to crumble; you can see an exposed blue leg.

I don't understand the antagonism against motion control in this one. Use the nunchaku to move the character, jump, charge, and flick the controller to smash -- should be amazing.

The motion just isn't precise enough. Fighting games require extremely quick and precise controls, and the Wii motion sensing isn't going to cut it. In SSBM, you can use the analog stick to jump, but no one does at high levels as it's not precise enough for techniques like wavedashing. If an analog stick isn't responsive enough, motion sensing certainly won't be.

[sardonic_wrath]

I just watched the trailer for it, it looks amazing

Wario's going to be in it too.

here's a link to the trailer, by the way..

Nintendo Wiins E3 '06.

FATALITY!
Flawless victory.


Um... Well....... WOW... I um.... Wow... I just........ Wow... I knew this was comnig, but not quite like this. I'm really excited - not that I wasn't already, but god damn man... Nintendo's got my excitement so high I might die from it before Wii is launched, and that would just be ironic.

Fair enough. I guess I never attained the Shaolin mastery of SSBM that you guys did. I just thought it sounded like a fun way to do it. I stand corrected.

[Mozgus]

Nintendo really listened to it's fans this year, now that I think about it.

[AversionFX]

OMFG, if that's true, I'm totally going to cream my jeans. I've seriously missed that look for Solid Snake.

[MaiXu]

Free direct-feed video from IGN! (http://media.revolution.ign.com/media/748/748545/vids_1.html)

[[VSK]BadCRC]

I've been trying to download that thing for a while now, the download stops fast, then randomly says it's complete with FireFox. I'm using IE to download it now, it started off fast, slowed to a crawl, but it's still going...

[Deadend]

I love how Link gets super updated... but Kirby does not change at all. I also like the new Super Moves, they seem really cool.

[MaiXu]

I thought that was hilarious ... Pikachu is changed a bit, and Link and Mario are both drastically different, and Kirby ... doesn't change at all. I think that was an intentional joke, and it was very funny.

[jakie_chon]

solid snake? I won't use any other charachter!

[Deadend]

solid snake? I won't use any other charachter!

I myself am hoping to play as Grey Fox, and possibly see some more characters from other companies show up, such as Sonic.

[RMan]

Looks very cool, nice video. As far as controls, yea, I don't see how this type of game would benefit from the motion sensing. I’d imagine if there’s any support for the new controller, it’ll be minor cosmetic stuff at best.

[[VSK]BadCRC]

That video was hilarious, Kirby didn't change in the slightest. I wonder if that's going to be a real attack for Wario.

[ChamberX]

Nintendo really listened to it's fans this year, now that I think about it.

EXACTLY!!! I haven't felt this motivated about Nintendo since before the N64. Not that Sony's system is bad or anything. I just can't afford it AND feed my kids. This Christmas, the big N supports three square meals!

[Kamalot]

I say Wow.

Wow!

[eeje13]

... This Christmas, the big N supports three square meals!

yeah, i laughed at this statement.

[AversionFX]

I laughed hysterically.

The video "ended"

"What the fuck? Those bastards said Snake was in it... :("

then I heard the codec noise. Aaiiiiiiiiiie.

[Ondo]

I myself am hoping to play as Grey Fox, and possibly see some more characters from other companies show up, such as Sonic.

Kotaku's coverage of the announcement mentions that adding Snake was Konami's idea, and "Nintendo says they think the announcement of Snake in the game will open the door for other third-party opportunities."

What non-Nintendo characters do other people want to see? Sonic seems the most obvious. Bomberman would be cool. Both seem plausible since Sega and Hudson are already partnering with Nintendo on the Virtual Console.

Megaman, Roll, Protoman, Zero, The guys from Double Dragon, Any of the charecter from Final Fantasy (nintendo editions).

Nintendo Characters:

Gannon pig form, Impa (lol).

[RMan]

I think doing Capcom crossovers of the less Street Fighter like characters would be nice (perhaps even one of those). Strider seems a good fit.

[AversionFX]

What non-Nintendo characters do other people want to see?

Megaman, Zero

Fucking hell yes. Megaman with Rush-based attacks. And Zero is simply the coolest hero almost ever.

I would definitely love to see if not Alucard, then at least Trevor Belmont. Maybe Simon? Both were equally bad ass.

Maybe Sora? Or a couple Soul Calibur characters?

[BopBop]

Looks excellent. Hopefully there will be space in the roster for Sonic, Bomberman, Megaman X, and a Moggle from some other 3rd parties.

[devicelimit]

And the great thing is with the Wiiconnect24, one day you'll start up the game and a new character could be ready for you to play.

[boratika]

Why didn't Nintendo close their conference with this trailer, I just don't know.

Also Pit looks just how he should.

[Mozgus]

The Wiimote should at least be used for one hell of a revamped camera mode. Anyone else love taking snapshots with the 4th GC controller in Melee?

[MagicAlex]

Kotaku's coverage of the announcement mentions that adding Snake was Konami's idea, and "Nintendo says they think the announcement of Snake in the game will open the door for other third-party opportunities."

Gee, maybe they could take some of the characters from that failed attempt at a Smash Bros. clone. The one with Optimus Prime, Simon Belmont, and hay! Solid Snake (among others). Can't remember what that game was called though (it was Japan-only).

[MagicAlex]

Or a couple Soul Calibur characters?

Namco does owe them for putting Link in SC2. I don't think Nintendo should go ape-shit over 3rd party characters. What's that quote about "Too many Chefs <something-something>"?

[[VSK]BadCRC]

What's that quote about "Too many Chefs <something-something>"?

I think it's "Too many chef's spoil the broth".... I can't remember for sure.

[MaiXu]

Namco does owe them for putting Link in SC2. I don't think Nintendo should go ape-shit over 3rd party characters. What's that quote about "Too many Chefs <something-something>"?

I agree. I still want this to be a mostly Nintendo game. A single combatant for each third party would be cool, but so many to choose from!

[Nessus]

Sonic for sure.

Bomberman would be a good one.

For Namco I was thinking either Pacman or someone from Soul Calibur.

Capcom could go many ways. Could get Leon, or Mega Man, or Simon Belmont, or even Dante. I think Mega Man would make the most sense, though he'd probably be pretty similar to Samus in abilities. Simon Belmont could be cool using a whip for his primary weapon.

[Herald42]

Any of the charecter from Final Fantasy (nintendo editions).

Only if Black Mage can use the Hadoken, and go stabbity.

8bit Theatre Super Smash Bros. for the win.

[ConKlarion]

thatd be interesting if capcom had so RE character but anyways that trailer was quite amazing i cant wait to get my hands on that game it seems from the trailer the levels might change alot during the game and that would be a nice touch but im a little confused about the super moves but hey that was fucking cool to watch so ill worry about all that when the game comes out

[[VSK]BadCRC]

http://ohsnapsnake.ytmnd.com/

Ah, Snake!

[jonat3]

-The game will feature two modes. One is traditional controls, the other is gesture based.
-Wario will be able to use the fart move in the game.
-the SSB logo is an item in the game that will give you a fatality type move
-the nintendog is an item that will obscure the battlefield (too bad i can't kick the dog around)
-more third party characters are being considered



Characters i want to see in the game:
-Cloud
-Sephiroth
-Auron (FFX)
-Ridley
-(Super)Sonic
-Megaman
-Zero from megaman zero games
-Oni Link

[SBKidJamX]

That is HOT.

[Major Scud]

heart cant take it.... too much nintendo love... must get wiiiiiiii.....

[[VSK]BadCRC]

Personally, I think it'd be downright hilarious if Master Chief showed up.

[MagicAlex]

Gee, maybe they could take some of the characters from that failed attempt at a Smash Bros. clone. The one with Optimus Prime, Simon Belmont, and hay! Solid Snake (among others). Can't remember what that game was called though (it was Japan-only).

I love Google (http://www.google.com/search?q=Optimus+Prime%2C+Solid+Snake%2C+Simon+Bel mont&start=0&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official)

[boratika]

This came from the official website (http://www.smashbros.com/en/index.html): The main theme was created for us by none other than famed Final Fantasy composer, Nobuo Uematsu!

Additionally, opera singer Ken Nishikiori has also participated in this project on vocals.

...And as a special service to readers of this site, I can say that the game's music will be performed by a full orchestra.

It will be a deluxe chorus complete with lyrics in Latin.


It's of a slightly different disposition than previous Smash Bros. games, wouldn't you say?

I also want to change the atmosphere of the game itself a little, too. But you'll just have to look forward to how I'll be doing that.

Well what do you know? Sounds lavish.

[bone_matrix]

That trailer was kick ass. Snake at the end was pretty funny. I believe that, after watching only 1 day of E3 stuff and the conferences, Nintendo knows where they are going, and how to please their fans. I think they forgot how to do that, and they are now remembering.

Awesome. Awesome to the max.

[Borys]

SOLID SNAKE?

Holy f*king crap... +1 000 000 sales.

[thecrazyd]

I think it is pretty obvious who should be in this game. Pheonix Fucking Wright.

[haleck]

I need this now. I was wondering how Nintendo would pique my interest in this title one more time and they drop the Snake Bomb.

Here's hoping they bring back Samus in this one. Unstoppable with her, that's me.

Edit: Samus WILL be in SSBB, suitless even. Color me intrigued.

MegaMan, bitch, give me MegaMan.

[Chameleo]

I think it is pretty obvious who should be in this game. Pheonix Fucking Wright.

hahashaha!! his special move would initiate him pointing his finger and shouting:

OBJECTION!

[OrangePulp]

I really don't see Nintendo coming out on top. It's just... not going to happen.

A big ol' helping of crow for me. Seriously, this is Shit-Hot. Talk about a must-have game. And with PS3's price of 600, and 360's 400, 250 sounds dirt cheap to me now. Buying it at launch, I'm thinking.

[frinsore]

While I'd love to see megaman and a belmont in smash bros. I'd easily trade them for one character.
Batman
Dark Knight vs Hero of Time is a match up I now have to see.

Of course I'd also like to see Starcraft Ghost, Gordan Freeman, or a Sith.

[Chameleo]

welcome to evav! :D

[Borys]

This is amazing:

[Heretic Machine]

I'm not gonna make a really deep post here, because it's really not needed for this announcment. I will simply say: THIS IS HOT SHIT OMFG!!! Wii FTW!

[superherotaco]

While I'd love to see megaman and a belmont in smash bros. I'd easily trade them for one character.
Batman

Man this Batman thing keeps spreading.
So to keep the fire going, Batman would totally get his ass kicked by JigglyPuff. He'd make batman fall asleep and then he'd... do that thing... where he goes to sleep and you get an automatic knock off. What's that called anyway?

[Rirath]

Wow, just wow. I know Snake is a BIG thing here, and the cardboard box joke ALONE makes him very much worthwhile... this is big big news... but people:

KID FSKING ICARUS IS IN THIS GAME!

And he looks BAD-ASS.

[Rirath]

As for others... Mega Man and/or Zero needs to be in one of these games. Then again, Marvel vs Capcom 2 got him about as perfect as a fighter Mega Man could be.

Dare I say Chuck Norris?

[EmoryM]

Wow, that trailer was awesome. The absence of Smash Brothers was my only major concern with Nintendo's presentation.

For a company that says they don't compete, they seem to be kicking ass.

[Kamalot]

Jade from Beyond Good & Evil would be cool too.

Anyone added should be a character that started in video games, not comic book characters and such. SSB is a celebration of video games and nostalgia.

As always, I'd have to put votes in for Mega Man and Sonic.

But how about the Prince of Persia?

[Magnanimous Gnome]

I couldn't care less about Snake, but PIT!! OMFG, PIT!

PIT!

PIT!!

[score]

Damn. Sweetness.

Am I the only one thinking Zero Suit Samus should star in her own game?

[Rirath]

Damn. Sweetness.

Am I the only one thinking Zero Suit Samus should star in her own game?

Nope, but I do quite fear it would be some sorta lame puzzle-ish adventure thing rather than a full on Metroid title.

[Sl1pstream]

This might have been mentioned, but on the official site, it's called Smash Bros. Dojo.

[score]

Nope, but I do quite fear it would be some sorta lame puzzle-ish adventure thing rather than a full on Metroid title.

I was thinking more along the lines of Zero Suit Samus Extreme Beach Volley Ball... only without any of the volley balling (and possibly without the Zero Suit) :D

[Manzy]

I always thought Smash Brothers was supposed to be Nintendo IP only. I suppose I would commit blaspheme if I said I wasn't happy Snake is in the game (it's pretty cool, just kinda weird). If Snake can be in it, then Sonic should be in it too. Unfortunately, if they do, I might have to take a trip into Nintendo HQ and try to steal a copy CTRL-ALT-DEL style. SONIC VS. MARIO!!!?!?!!!?

[Sl1pstream]

You would show your penis to little girls, which will obviously cause a distraction and then let someone else steal it?

[dena miscreant]

Zero Suit Samus:

[FalseGrace]

score:

She already has her own game. It's called "Metroid" (+ JUSTIN BAILEY)

[spacepirate01]

i would love to see them put some kind of space pirate in. He could have a beam attack a few rush attacks jet pack as a jump or up b. It woud be illl.

[dena miscreant]

Or even a real pirate. And a ninja. And a monkey. Or a pirate ninja monkey.
