A Melee-ish weekly character thing would be nice. They can reveal ~30 before the release date if they so choose, depending on just when that date is and whether they start with already revealed characters. If they did this then we probably wouldn't get any bombshells dropped until late October, though. If that.
I'm just glad that the information drought may finally be over.
^Sakurai said he'll be doing the exact same thing HSW. =)
You're sure? All I've seen is hopeful speculation about it. That's awesome.
5 days. I'm pretty sure the timer is going down at 12PM EST (5PM GMT), so we can probably expect info around that time come Monday.
Yeah. I'm in the central time zone, and the day changed at exactly 11 am.
Heh i'm CST as well. So Monday you say? Sweet! Can't wait. VC day and Brawl day.
In several hours, it will be 2 days left. Also...TheHylia got a special package through the mail. This is reassurance that there IS a Nintendo event going on Monday - the Nintendo Media Summit in Seattle, which is where Matt C. is going.
Hahahah Frosty. That's odd, but cool. I guess... >_> So yea Monday, not too far away. =)
Hahaha, wow. This has taken on way too much. It's not like Sega has announced a new console or anything.
If Sega announced a new console I really really doubt anyone would give a @#%$.
...'Cept Pat L.
='( The pain you have just imposed upon me...
Lol Pat L. Anyone seen that dude lately?
He explicitly announced he was leaving, after having enough of our constant ridicule (and who can blame him?). We explicitly shrugged.
I just signed up for a job interview at UPS at about 12:30 on Monday, so I guess I'm not going to see the big news when it first comes out. 🙁
Hahha awesome dude. My dad's been working for UPS for like 15 years. Good luck on that interview.
Good luck with that UPS interview. Don't worry, your fellow MoFoers will be here to experience this newfound joy on Monday. =DDD
Unless of course Blazing Lazers comes out on the VC then im playing that. You better believe it...not!
You kidding? The VC for the most part sucks...
Man I just hope they return Kirby to pre Melee days. They did some serious Guile nerfing to my favorite puffball.
I hope this comes out soon, my wii has been eating dust...Since no games are really coming out. Snake will be sweet.
Guile nerfing. Hahaha! Dude the VC is great, for me atleast. With the amount of Space Shooters they have available it's my dream come true. =)
Weird, Samus can change now, with her sword.
So, Nintendrone supposedly got an exclusive interview. I have no idea how credible the site is supposed to be. Stuff that seems to be new:
- Game will feature no more than 50 characters.
- Alternate skins. Olde Fox and Falco please.
- Super Smash Attacks are not immediately activated, can be reserved.
- Adventure mode will be much larger, classic mode will be featured.
- Will include more game modes, some from N64 will return.
- Events will be included.
I've read from a lot of people that he was reliable before. However, a few people on GameFAQS are wanting to infer that he's fake, trying to find every little thing he says and use it against him. You know, those arrogant, elitist guys on GameFAQS. -_-
Aside from my mini-bashing, I stand neutral. I'm loving the information, and I want to believe it, but I don't want to look like a gullible jackass again. I hope we get to see some proof of this tomorrow, or soon.
Speaking of tomorrow, reports say that Sakurai wants to open the site at noon - Japan time. That means that the countdown basically went up 12 hours, so we have another 24 hours left.
12 PM EST >< I thought you meant 12am =
lame, now I have to go to bed...
From the update the site just got, it looks like we really will get the "real" update in 12 hours after all.
Looks like I'm staying up a little longer than usual tonight. >_>
WHERE IS MY NEWS... IT IS 12:30PM EST (11:30 central <3 )
The news come around 11pm today.
Ahhh!! *bites nails/fingers*
They need to announce the return of Yoshi and DK already. Oh and throw in that they added Diddy Kong and King Dedede, and I'll be happy.
I dare Nintendo to RickRoll us. Seriously.
The site is going to change from 'starting today' to 'started yesterday'.
I KNOW it.
Hahaha, i'm not even staying up for the "debt".
I'd give it another few hours. I really wouldn't think Sakurai would unveil the site at exactly 12 pm there.
Man, the news better be worth it for all this.
I swear to f*ck if they unveil LUIGI IS PLAYABLE ZOMG or something I'm going to personally fly to Japan and stab Sakurai in the face.
I'll pay for your flight ticket, Bat, and accomodation. But by then I'll run out of monies and won't be able to fly you back.
Eh not much at the launch but darn does this game looks pretty. It makes Melee look kind of old...and all the people for this soundtrack make me happy. Composer from Grandia? Oh yea
In case someone has no idea and is only checking this topic for their Brawl needs...
www.smashbros.com/en_us/m...sic01.html
The above link contains a list of composers who are contributing to the Brawl soundtrack. Most epic composer list of all time? Maybe. Maybe...
So all we get is list of composers and how game works?
Thank a lot Nintendo
:"> .
I find it interesting that a composer for Nights is there.
I think I might have forgot to mention this, but the new Nintendo Power issue came in recently, and it revealed that Sakurai is having his daily blog of updates on the game. Apparently it's true. Nothing wrong with daily weekday updates now, is there?
For those who are lazy to see the list, it's right here.

Kingdom Hearts composer guy.
Kitty smiles.
Love the new percentage bar being over the character's personal icon.
Love Link being pencil art. HATE inconsistancy with Mario being CGI. You got all that fancy Strikers art, just get someone to go at it and give everyone an in-game portrait.... darn it.
Besides that, underwhelming launch. Give us more! At least profile pages for the existing set of characters.
I absolutely adore the new hud. And yeah, the musician list is astounding and the launch itself is pretty underwhelming. I hope the updates make up for it.

Guy?
zomg mitsuda...
Yet again, the folks at Nintendo have left us with more questions than answers...
Especially the "If they have music from the dude who did the music for *insert game name here*, does that mean *character from game* will be in SSBB?!?
I must say, the list of musicians is impressive. Looks like they will have to release a CD with the music on it. And isn't it all orchestrated?
I also love the redone Menu 1 theme for Battlefield (it's the 1st menu theme from Melee, the epic-sounding one).
Yeah, Craig, I'm pretty sure Link's avatar is CGI too... it's just hard to tell with the crummy resolution of the screenshots.
Also no Yuzo Koshiro love? I'm surprised Uematsu wasn't listed, though, given that its HIS work that's already confirmed to be the theme.

(grasshopper manufacture inc.) killer7 / GOD HAND
YES! 
I haven't played God Hand (yet) or Killer 7 (also yet) but I know that he rocks! I hope he uses something with God Hand's energy.
Alright, I'm going to assume that we'll be seeing new character profiles for the already known characters as the next update tomorrow.
I kind of wish they had given us, you know, actual NEWS about the game instead of credits for the aspect of the game people care least about.
Eh, from what I'm seeing everywhere else, people are flipping out over the composers, so...
