Tournaments work alot better when you have a large group of people in the same place. 😛 Doing it over the internet can be a pain to organize.
That's recent news about the Wii, and good news indeed. If the attach rate really is that high then I imagine Nintendo is quite happy. Still, I don't think the field will remain quite the same by the end of the year.

Actually, I had a good idea how to handle that...
but I'll wait till Brawl comes out before we decide to do anything.Nintendo talked about "Wii-makes" a while back, and we have seen several already such as RE4. I really think Nintendo will do a Wii-make for Luigi's Mansion on the Wii. Using the Wii-mote to aim the flashlight would work well, plus it'd be dirt cheap to do. Slow season mid year? Pop that and out and see how many casual gamers gobble it up. I know I'd buy it. I enjoyed the original a lot, and would love to play it again. (I never picked it up myself)
I enjoyed Luigis Mansion quite a bit,b ut the second play through I couldn't finish. The game has a lot of charm and, surprisingly, nostalgia for me. I think having a Wii version would make me want to play it as well.

What other "Wii-makes" are there? Honestly, RE4 is the only one I can think of [which I do own, btw]. Unless you count...what, Twilight Princess? Not that I don't support the idea of remakes.
Also, where is it confirmed that theres no SD card music? And whats stopping me from setting the music to 0%, sound effects to 100% in one of the two audio ports, while I plug in an mp3 player into the other? Eh, eh? See what I did there? 😉

I like that idea. :thumbsup:

What do you guys make of this? A ploy, or an accidental leak of the character selection screen?
You mean at 0:12? That definitely looks like a major leak (or just an even huger revelation)!
Look at the third-to-last and the very last on the top row... Midna and the cel-shaded Young Link! Holy crap!
EDIT: It's fake. I think.
Too bad if it's a fake, there are some pretty cool characters I would like to try on there.
At any rate, there will be many surprises we won't know about anyway until they start playing it overseas. I am interested to see what hidden characters will be available. I am sure there will be plenty to be excited about once these are uncovered.

Considering the fact that nearly everything else in the trailer was a regurgitation of things people have been able to see on the smash bros website in video form, I'm willing to bet that it's a mockup.
The smart thing to do would be to reserve judgment until it's officially confirmed. However, I bet that Smashboards are exploding with nerd rage anyway, as if knowing who is in the game will make it come out any earlier.
I'm guessing it's a fake. Too bad though. I really hope Young Link makes it into Brawl. But not the cell shaded one. The normal one.
Yes it's fake. You can't tell? It has friggin' concept art in there :P
Ashley in a Smash Bros game? 50 DPK minus to the person who mocked that up.
That'd be one bright, pink, generic menu for a Smash Bros. game.
Who's the Batman/Space Ghost looking fellow between Captain Falco and Ness?
There is a video floating around youtube that has the Japanese introduction to Brawl. Ness and Marth are now confirmed to be back. You can can catch it here as well.

Oh gosh, you're Serious?
The leak is real? *doesn't highlight the spoilers*
Oh gosh...I'm not touching the Brawl boards on gamefaqs anymore. Knowing the idiots there, I would spoil myself.
...How did it get leaked?
How do games always get leaked? Someone smuggles one home from the factory, an employee takes an extra DVD home one day, a reviewer makes a copy of a preview disk...
It's the Japenese version, obviously, but given how many shots and videos it's produced already, it'd be outright denial to assume it wasn't legit.
Final roster note:
[spoiler]GameFAQs seems obsessed with the idea that there's one more character, and 75% of the board is convinced it HAS TO NO MATTER WHAT REGARDLESS OF ANYTHING ELSE be Star Wolf (I think there's 10% more that are sure it's Krystal).
The theory behind it is, if the character went in a certain slot, the character menu would form columns based on series, and the prime column for #35 would contain Fox, Falco, and Captain Falcon. Of course, it could be an entirely unrelated character like Mr. Game and Watch was, but that's hardly relevant given the number of rabid fanboys running around right now.[/spoiler]
What makes that leak any better than the previous false one? And yeah, I liked the organization on the fake one 10 times better than the so-called real one (as it stands now -- it could very well be fake, too).
The fact that there is a screenshot of the roster, which I've seen. I seriously doubt it was photoshopped too.
Heh.
[spoiler]Lol, I'm guessing you haven't seen the videos then? Trust me, that's not faked.
The only one on the list I posted not in the select screen during the video is Jigglypuff, so I suppose I can't proove that one... but Jigglypuff making her second return trip makes more sense to me than any of the other crazy theories I've seen tossed around so far.
And yes, for some inscrutable reason they call WW Link "Toon Link" and R.O.B. "Robot."[/spoiler]
P.S. the words "the videos" are a link to one such video. I dunno if you can see it under spoiler tags so just click on it for proof.
EDIT: Mirau, screenshots aren't really proof. They're too easy to Photoshop. Now, a video of an actual round, with menu and results screen, and plenty of crazy animation and action and such... not quite so Photoshoppable.
Well, the jap opening is out. It is pretty neat. Also, the screenshots with a certain character finding Snake in the box, and Snake goes !.
Oh, that video definitely confirms it for me, Kairyu. 😛 And they can do the same thing they did in Mario Kart: Double Dash!!; that is, they could have unlockable characters that don't have [?] spaces set for them. I'm still praying for Midna.
[spoiler]Jigglypuff is confirmed. On the roster screens that are flying around the Internet, you'll see Purin, who is Jigglypuff.[/spoiler]
Videos with some more info on the less-covered newcomers:
[spoiler]ROB and Lucario, and Jiggly is confirmed in action (not just a static screenshot) at the end of video 2.
Video 1
Video 2
Sweet Jesus, Lucario stole Mewtwo's Shadow Ball and fights like a cross between a Kung Fu master, a furry, and a DBZ character.[/spoiler]
Final character confirmed (Unlocking this one displays an "All Characters Unlocked" message, apparently):
[spoiler]
GOD DAMMIT SAKURAI
GOD DAMMIT
DO YOU REALLY THINK PEOPLE WANTED TO SEE MORE OF THIS FIGHTING STYLE
WAS HAVING THE TWO MOST PLAYED, HIGHEST-TIER CHARACTERS NOT ENOUGH
DID YOU REALLY NEED TO MAKE THREE OF THEM
ffs lol
Also Wolf's confirmation appears to have started an "everyone's FS is a Landmaster" meme on GameFAQs, even though Wolf shouldn't have a Star Fox Landmaster.
Lousy furries.
[/spoiler]
Well. That finishes that.
I had heard that there were three third-party characters, but it appears I was mistaken.
I was hoping for more than 35...:/
Okay, most of this post is going to be spoiler-tagged, but oh well.
[spoiler]I was kinda hoping there would be completely new characters, rather than two clones of Fox. I mean, if you're going to have three characters to represent the Starfox series, shouldn't they have different movesets? That's like making Zelda and Ganondorf clones of Link.
I wouldn't mind it so much if their Final Smashes were different. I mean, Falco is supposed to be an ace pilot. Why stick him in the Landmaster when they could've had him speeding around in an Arwing? And surely they could've come up for something different for Wolf.
I was also disappointed at the lack of Ridley as a playable character, or any other Metroid reps in general. I thought his theme being in the game pretty much confirmed it.
I kinda didn't want to see Mewtwo go. But after seeing gameplay videos of Lucario, he almost seems like a faster version. I wasn't too bad with him, but Mewtwo's lack of speed really bogged me down (not to mention I have a certain affinity for faster characters).
Lastly, I laugh in the face of all the people who kept saying Ness wouldn't be in. Despite that he was an original, and him showing up in the first leak.[/spoiler]
Well, all I know for certain is...
[spoiler]This spoiler tag contains nothing. It is completely unrelated to the topic at hand.
You may be wondering why I'm adding a useless spoiler box to my post, but I have a very good reason for it. Well, no, actually I have a pretty bad reason for it.
I just felt like making you read through a meaningless spoiler box.[/spoiler]
