Nintendo Wii Media | New Smash Bros. Brawl Screens and Tidbits

25.05.2006

With the next edition of Smash Bros. being one of the most anticipated games for the Wii, Nintendo have released yet more information on the upcoming title, including a rough translation of developer Masahiro Sakurai's blog.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl is the latest installment of the successful Nintendo-fighter franchise that sees new faces, ideas and a refinement of the existing series in a neat little package for 2007. The game promises to retain the action, skill and fun from the past versions, taking it one step further. Producer Masahiro Sakurai is keeping a blog updated for the upcoming title, and although not official translated yet, has some key tidbits of information from rough versions on the net.

Some characters from the GameCube version, Melee, won't be making a return in Brawl. No indication has been made of who will be making the cut, though the basic franchise leaders can be expected with clone characters more than likely making their exit.

The speed of the game will be adjusted, though the extent of this is not currently known - could be faster, could be slower. It is rumoured though to slow down.

More stages will take place in the air, with expanded combat taking place on different platforms.

Thanks to QJ for the translation.

Seven new screens can be found in the Smash Bros. Brawl album below.

Stick with C3 for future updates...

KEEP MR GAME & WATCH
coz you guys are shit wiht them that doesnt mean they shouldnt be on the game!!! I love those little fellas!!! especially when they get their frying pan out!!! lol MR GAME & WATCH ROCK!!!!

I see all these people insulting the Nintendo corporation because of the lack of mature content. Yet there is something about Nintendo (at least their games) that strikes a certain unadulterated feeling of joy!!! Pokemon Y - 1048-9263-5562

They'd better not DARE touch Ice Climbers, Game And Watch, Pikachu or Jigglypuff. Of the current characters they could dump, I think Dr. Mario and Pichu could probably go.

As for new characters, they've already fulfilled two requests with Pit and Wario, now they need to give us Balloon Fight Kid in some capacity, Little Mac, Ridley, King Dedede, Tom Nook, Captain Olimar with Pikmin, Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Bomberman, Mega Man....*fizz*

I don't mind it slowing down a bit, sometimes it gets a bit TOO mental. Doesn't look like it's changed much though. I'm not sure what to think about it becoming more air based either, I'd rather it was 50/50 again.

Erotic_Spider 25.05.2006#28

ha ha slowing it down. I train myself on lightening mode anyway (got to keep in tip top shape), normal mode seems slow enough to me already. I dont think, marth or Roy should be in it they should be replaced by other fire emblem characters but still have the same moves just so the rest of the world know who they are. Ike/eliwood/Ephraim.

new profiles on wario and zero suit samus. Also, confirmatino on samus being playable in suit.

Faust_D 25.05.2006#31

samus being playable in suit.

That made me orgasm...

EDIT: Just read the character profile, and it (basically)confirms something I've said to some people a while ago. Under certain conditions she loses her suit, so probably when using that enormous beam she loses her suit, making her kind of a Zelda-like character Smilie

Haha, to play Hazuki.
Leon S Kennedy (Suplex and Kick! Yeah!)
...oh...Makes me think of a member here on C3 that got banned...
Ridley (Metroid Fans have been craving this one...)
YES WE WANT HIM SO BADLY!! He is cute and all but, he is kinda too big. Though Giga Bowser is big... Err, never mind.

o/\o hell yes girl, show the love for the lanky bringer of d00m Smilie

Meta-Ridley was massive but 'normal' Ridley is more or less the same size as Bowser, but with the wings and the tail is probably harder to animate and make moves for. But still, I can hope.

Ganondorf (With his own moves and a RED cape please... not that thing that looked like it was from Allied Carpets...)

Pichu sucked, Dr Mario sucked, Falco sucked...
Wow. Nice educated statement there. You do realise that different people are good with different characters?

You are kidding, right?

Falco required less skill than Fox to use in multiplayer because the speed was taken away (making him easier to control), and you could use (not saying everyone did) repeated attacks and easily win.

Pichu damages himself almost everytime he used an electrical attack - and apart from a slightly smaller profile (supposed to make it easier to avoid attacks, LOL) had absolutely nothing over Pikachu; one of the most balanced fighters in SSBM.

Dr Mario was basically Mario, except in a different costume. Yes; subtle changes in the way the pills fired, and the other 'B' moves (Up B, <-- / --> B, Down B) but it was exactly the same as Mario.

Maybe he could have worded it better, but yah, they sucked, big time.

FUCK, That's depressing news about chcuking out characters, we all know that at least ONE of our faves will see the boot.

Characters that can be chucked out:

Dr. Mario
Pichu
Roy (maybe)
Ganondorf (just change his moves)
Falco (just change his moves)

But they HAVE to keep all the original characters with original moves, I will be so pissed off if Ice Climbers & Mr. Game & Watch are chucked out, as Ice Climbers are my bro's fave character, he can beat anyone I know with them, as well as complete very hard mode on Classic without losing continues.

Also. I WILL BE FUCKING PISSED OFF if they chuck out Young Link, I know tons of people who use him as their fave. & he is the TRUE LINK for fuck's sake!! Adult Link: 2 Young Link: at least 12. I think that since Young Link has starred in at least ten more Zeldas than Adult Link, if ANYONE is ditched, it's Adult Link, I'm serious.

As for Zero Suit Samus... yay! She's lookin' goooood Smilie

EDIT: Was Mr. Game & Watch the FIRST Nintendo character? 'cos that means that getting rid of him is automatically a NONO.

I sont see why people think that FALCO is gonna get chucked out?!?!?
Falco and Fox are the only characters from STARFOX they should be adding some more characters, not taking Falco off!!!

And i deffinetly wanna see more F-Zero characters!! Smilie

I dont like to have 3+ Sega characters on the game coz that would ruin the game Sonic is enough no more!

Im hoping that Capcom will agree to put either Megaman or Vietiful Joe!?!?!? Smilie

My fav characters:- "Mario, Falco, Pikachu" these are the characters that im a pro with!!!

JoshSL 25.05.2006#36

I think Wolf should be added, as well as at least 2 SEGA characters, + MegaMan & Joe. Smilie

But PLEEEEEEEEEAAAASE don't get rid of Young Link!! He's my special character!! I can't use anyone else!! PLEEEEAAAASE!! Smilie

I wouldn't mind seeing off most characters tbh. The only person I use is marth. Yes yes, I know he's whored more than a dutch teen, but he is, alas, my best character by a long way.

Goodbye pichu I say

oh and I agree about Ganondorf. Give him some moves of his own. Most of his in melee were cheap and overpowered imo....

Finaly, ridley...GOD YES! ^_^ He could so work. Plenty of characters are made smaller/bigger in melee. And lets not forget the size of ridley on the NES Smilie

Faust_D 26.05.2006#39

That's just rude, and not something to joke about.

Oh god please cut the pokemon characters!!!

Questworld 26.05.2006#46

I think the likely candidates would be Dr. Mario, Pichu, Roy and Marth (replaced with other Fire Emblem characters, perhaps those from the upcoming Wii version of the series), Falco, etc.

On the other hand, considering Zero Suit Samus is going to be an alternate within the same character, much like Shiek and Zelda, it would make sense to merge some of the characters into one. Playing Pichu would evolve him into Pikachu, Samus would turn into Zero Suit Samus if certain conditions are met (as reported), Young Link and Adult Link can change back and forth like in Ocarina of Time, etc. Adjustments to their skills will of course occur (i.e. Young Link and Pichu being faster than their counterparts). Personally, I'd like to keep clones of characters that have them but simply for costume changes (i.e. instead of merely changing Mario's costume color, players have an option of using a different outfit, much like Soul Calibur II had different outfits).

As for third-party characters, I'd like to have Sonic, Rayman, Snake (of course), Lara Croft (from Legend, not those deformed looking PS1 versions, yuck), Dante, Megaman, Lloyd Irving, Pacman, Ryu from Ninja Gaiden, and perhaps some FF characters. Also, with regards to Kirby's transformation, I'd really like it if he showed more features of characters he absorbs (i.e. instead of just Mario's hat, how about Mario's moustache too). As for Pikachu, how about a little hint of fur on his tale. Oh, and of course, I really hope they rework the the F-Zero characters for future games.

It's going to be shit and you jolly well know it.

Kangaroo_Kid 26.05.2006#48

You guys are getting carried away with this whole cutting characters thing, if they do cut any they'll probably just cut the what I call "true clones". Pichu and Dr. Mario, they basically play exactly the same as Pikachu and Mario.

Saying that you want to get rid of Falco just because he's the same as Fox but a bit slower is stupid, because people prefer him over Fox because he is slower, the same goes for Capt. Falcon/ Ganondorf, Link/ Young Link, Roy/ Marth.

Why do you want to get rid of Marth and Roy?

Erotic_Spider said
I dont think, marth or Roy should be in it they should be replaced by other fire emblem characters but still have the same moves just so the rest of the world know who they are.

The rest of the world do know who they are, otherwise we wouldn't be talking about them would we? Smilie

Keep Roy and Marth, they aren't clones, Marth is faster than Roy, Roy has a better endurance, Roys sword has a better reach, their "Up-B" attacks have different speeds and Marth deals the most damage from the tip of his Falchion, whereas Roy damages more with the centre of the Sword of Seals. So keep 'em... both of them.

I'm very sure that Pichu will be cut, but that will make me sad Smilie it was always my favourite Pokemon... althugh I do admit that he was a rubbish character Smilie
