parasoul Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 March? Absolutely not.Smash Brawl is an online title The first online titles will be announced in Quarter 2 March is in Quarter 1 END RUMOR If I were Nintendo, when would I release this game? It depends what I'm doing with the game. Am I revamping the control scheme? I have promised some surprises in the game. Do I want to launch online with this title as one of the first, or have other games test the water and slam in with a quality service? Holiday 2007 seems favorable. Yes. I have thought for a long time that Brawl would be the game they used to introduce Wii online play. I hope I'm still right. I don't want to wait until 4th quarter for this.

Arek the Absolute Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 ed;233992']Smash Tournaments on TV can't be all that bad. You don't like it' date=' don't watch it. But I don't see the harm. I think it's great we have stuff to choose from, and bringing video games further into mainstream entertainment [b']can only bring more support for the cause. Not that they really need it, but there's a "cool" factor to be able to flip channels and find Smash Bros playing in between other shows. Or Halo. Or anything for that matter.Although in regards to flipping channels and finding SSBM/B playing, we could already do that on the Wii... More support? Are you shitting me? I used to work for gamestop, and they had this dvd promoting the MLG with movie stars playing games, acting like they knew what the fuck they were doing on there even though a couple were holding the controller upside down. All this will do is make gaming into a joke. It will be mainstream and the 'cool thing to do' rather than something we do to enjoy. It will become the 'it thing', and if you follow how trends go at ALL, people only follow 'it' things just to look cool and NOT because they appreciate the product. WHEN, not if unfortunately, gaming hits the 'it' phase, the gaming atmosphere will totally change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G_D Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 For all of you thinking that they will release this game before Q4, you're on crack. Remember that this game was announced at E3 2006 (aka like 8 months ago), and the director (I don't remember his name) had only even found out about the game half a year before that*. There is no way they will get it done in less than a year and a half. *I am going off of memory, but I believe this is correct. EDIT: Well, I was a little off, but they didn't start development until late 2005 (THIS IS A LINK READ IT!). Still, even 2 years seems like a really short time for a game like this.

BigBoss Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 Still, even 2 years seems like a really short time for a game like this. 2 years that we know about. I seriously doubt that for that big five year gap, they hadn't gotten any work on it done at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G_D Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 Obviously you didn't catch the link in my edit. Sakurai reveals that development on the project has just recently started. In fact, as of May 2005, the game's development staff consisted of exactly one person, Sakurai himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WHEN, not if unfortunately, gaming hits the 'it' phase, the gaming atmosphere will totally change. This is true. About a week ago my nephew whom I live with, and my brother started playing a game of smash bros melee. They never play melee. They never play anything except WoW, and I heard the reasoning behind that one- he told his friend, "it's the most popular online game right now". They were playing "no items" because that's how good players do it; then they picked Hyrule Temple . That's not the end of it though. My nephew said he was going to "pown" my brother. What the heck guys. D: When they invited me to play, I didn't even bother trying. Normally I'd go into adhd mode on someone like that, but I live with these guys, so I sandbagged like all hell and lost. My point being, Arek is right. It's already happened with shit like G4. To finish I'd like to add my nephew works at hot topic, dresses emo and is a total trendwhore, much like my brother who sadly used to be a pretty cool guy. Just to help finish painting the mental portrait for my story there, y'know. Also, myspace. D: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normally I'd go into adhd mode on someone like that, but I live with these guys, so I sandbagged like all hell and lost. My point being, Arek is right. It's already happened with shit like G4. As someone on Smashboards said (not in exact words) "They should have a tournament where the loser gets first place. Whoever lost must be really good to have tried so little." Seriously. That's such a blatant john I'm almost wondering if you were just joking about this whole thing. "Oh, you beat me but that's because I didn't even bother trying." Playing Smash does not make you cool, and it's not the most popular game on the internet anyways. Games like DotA and WoW are a lot more popular. But if people did play it to be cool or whatever, why would that be so bad? Sure I think it's retarded to do that, but these people obviously aren't going to be determined enough to get competitive/travel to tournaments or anything, and nobody outside of their group will hear of them anyways. But if some people hear about competitive Smash from TV or something and are actually interested and become competitive players, then great - more players. There are thousands of little groups of friends out there who play Melee with just people in their own group, not knowing about the huge competitive scene. And whenever something happens like KillaOR on MTV or Smashboards talked about in Nintendo Power, more of these people find out about it and join the community. I know a professional Smasher in Anchorage Alaska who recently hosted a tournament in a room of a trading card store. He didn't even advertise it, just a little paper on the counter at the store, and over 30 people showed up, all who knew the basics of the game at least, and some who even played enough to know about things like using Falcon's down + b as a recovery to get 2 second jumps. But none of them knew about Smashboards or anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broken Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 Dude, you should have whipped his ass, shown him how the game is REALLY played. I agree. And after you beat him, you should have asked him if he was still having fun. (second sentence created to fulfill the char. limit.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What the heck guys. D: Man, flashbacks. Every time I go over a friend's house, its the same thing. Hyrule Castle (Or final destination), no items, and everyone picks Marth, or Roy, or whoever. I keep telling them, if they wanted you to play on the same level all the time, they wouldn't have put any others in the game. If they didn't want you to use items, they wouldn't have included any. I have to convince them to sneak in matches with random characters and levels just to get some fairness. Jeez, they just don't get it. The game stops being fun when you can't play just because your friends want the level they're best on, with the character they're best on, with their favorite settings.

If you do it to them, they'll essentially not want you to play against them anymore (or at least gang up on you if they let you play). It's idiotic.

Fishy Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 My friends are all so lame at the game. Not lame as in crap, lame as in annoying. One of them is always peach, spamming turnips and down smashes; one always uses jiggly; one uses game and watch (even though he can whoop with fox, he prefers to be annoying). It's just a big list of irritating characters. That said I'm starting to use captain falcon a lot lately. I see how many times I can do his pose without getting hit. My record is about 12.
