Interesting, it definitely the best looking weapon yet. The Gooey Bomb wasn't up to much and as for the Super Scope, we had that in Melee, so it wasn't to interesting, apart from knowing you'll be able to walk, run or jump while using it this time.

I also thought the Super Scope, visually, didn't look to good. This looks a lot better.

cracker is a derogatory term for white people over here in North America, funny for nintendo to make a move like that.

That is true, white people are hard to swallow in under a minute without a glass of water.

But I think the "Cracker" Is supposed to mean Firecracker.

I think nintendo should change it to firecracker.

At this rate, it wouldn't be surprising if Nintendo annouced Brawl as the first of the big three wii games shipped. After Kojima's comment of playing a 'complete version', it certainly doesn't sound too far from 100%.

Wow yeah that looks pretty fucking awsome, but how are you suppose to aim with a GC controller!?!? anyway it looks pretty daamm good! Smilie

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

Do your GC controllers not have Analogue sticks? You should probably get them replaced...

Yeah? I have never heard of them? Maybe it just you guys look too much to try find racism in everything.

I assume he meant the comparisons of Wii and Wee... I'm pretty sure the entire world was doing that for months though...
