I wonder if you can play a game with both friends and random people in it. The distinction between the two leads me to believe you can't. Also if there's really no invite option HEADS WILL ROLL. So yeah friend codes, communication, shit sucks, etc etc.

Happy Dec. 3, everyone.

One of my favorite things about WW was that they actually gave Ganondorf a personality. In TP he kinda reverted to EVIL EVIL KILL THINGS TAKE OVER WORLD EVIL GRRRR. So yeah I like WW Ganon better. All they have to do is give Ganondorf a non-clone moveset in Brawl and I'll be happy though.

I liked events in Melee. Good to see them back.

Everyone needs to jump off the THE ONLY GOOD GAME FOR XBOX IS HALO bandwagon. Both the original, and especially the 360 have proven themselves to be much more than that one franchise.

My guess is that smash balls were turned on maximum frequency in the demo, so people could see/use them. So that's probably the most you'll see of them in a match. It'd be stupid, I think, for them to appear that frequently normally. Also an all FS mode would be kinda cool. At least at first. After a while, though, you would probably get bored of just using everyone's final smash over and over. It would just turn into a race to see who could get to each smash ball first.

It's pretty good, especially given the limited nature of its source. Hopefully this means there will be a classic Donkey Kong stage. Complete with tumbling barrels and frequently appearing hammers.

I think any game that is stage-based (as opposed to a free-roaming world type deal) should provide the option to replace a stage's music with your own. Smash I consider an exception to this, though it would still be nice.

I think people are forgetting a very important fact about voice chat. You can mute people. Don't want to listen to them, mute them. Or if you don't want to talk to anyone you can just not use a headset. No serious problems can come from voice chat. Also the fact that Wi-Fi is free doesn't excuse Nintendo from providing what I consider to be less than the bare minimum. It's not like Xbox Live costs much anyway ($50 per year = less than $5 per month).

Seriously, anyone who doesn't see what Nintendo is doing wrong, and gives two shits about online play, should get an Xbox 360, play some online games, then go back to the Wii. There is absolutely no reason why you have to fight or watch nameless faceless opponents. None whatsoever.

Agreed 100%.

Guys. The quality is because of the site's compression. It'll sound better in-game.

Oh man! I completely forgot about this game, until hearing on the radio today that it came out yesterday (one of the questions on a a quiz thing the station was having was "What Mario game came out yesterday?"). Unfortunately I'm running on 2 hours of sleep so I don't think it's even safe for me to drive right now. Awesome to hear it's as good as it looks, though. I'll make sure to pick it up tomorrow.

Bye Ness. It's really too bad that we're losing one of the classic characters. But, it does show the devs' willingness to get rid of some characters, which I think is good. No one will complain if Young Link or Pichu don't make it in, for instance. Might as well reduce the clutter on the character select screen. Still though, it kinda sucks that they're (probably) keeping Mr. Game & Watch, but not Ness.

You know what I forgot about? The footstool jump. Did anyone try it out at E for all to gauge its effectiveness/difficulty?

The Wii has been out a lot longer than Halo 3, plus it's already had a full holiday season. EDIT: There's more Wii's in circulation than 360's? That's news to me.

Actually I don't think SSM has a very widespread appeal. Brawl will be a great game of course, but I don't foresee anyone who's not really a Nintendo fan buying a Wii or anything for it. A lot more people have played Halo 2 than Melee, and I don't think Brawl will change that trend, awesome as it may be.

Uh, what. Coins were never used for shopping. Just the lottery thing.

That's what she said. lololol i said sucks and wii in the same sentence

If the combat in TP sucks, then the combat in every 3D Zelda sucks. That is, unless you got the Wii version.

Ugh. UGH. I don't think Sakurai would be so cruel to put her in.

Actually I think it's pretty likely that a metroid will be an assist trophy. I'm thinking more like...a swarm of metroids though. And yeah, it should definitely leech life like that. And all we need now is Ganondorf with a new moveset and the villain roster will be complete!

In this day and age, good online play is STANDARD. Especially for a game with such developed multiplayer as SSB. There's really no excuse for Nintendo's horrible online components. Yes, what they're giving us is an improvement over Melee, but I don't think it's right to compare Brawl only to its predecessor. Online gaming on consoles has improved vastly in the past several years, and Nintendo is far behind. And three minutes TOTAL for replays? Come on.

I thought it was Klubba. Y'know...cause he holds a club. Or maybe that was the boss who looked the same.

I don't think so. If he hits while his fist is above his head, it will be moving mostly horizontally, causing the opponent to go in the same direction. His fist will be moving vertically downward when it's in front of him.
