I guess everyone was right about Sonic's limited repertoire resulting in a boring moveset
The spring's still great, though

From what I've read, the current American release date is supposed to be Feb. 10. Needless to say, that's extremely lame. It's also odd that it's set for a Sunday.
Here's the actual link: http://wii.ign.com/articles/826/826577p1.html
Take it as you will. Could be true, could be false. But yeah, it is a bit odd [and a little suspicious] that they'd choose a Sunday.
CoughPokemon D/P COUGH

Not odd or suspicious to me, and like Snomint was alluding to, Nintendo has launched on Sundays before. It's still messed up that we have to wait another 2 months.
On the plus side (for me at least) it comes out a little bit after my birthday, so I will deny any other present besides Smash… unless it's something great, like a computer... God, I need a new computer.
Edit: Oh yeah, preview should be up soon, videos and such will be on embargo till Monday.
At least this will guarantee that we'll know more about the game going in. Though I'm disappointed we're not getting a somewhat syncrhonized release with the Japanese like we would've before.
I don't entirely mind because it gives them all the more time to make it into an even more amazing game. I always kind of thought I'd be willing to give them the time they needed to make the game great, so here we are.
Also, I'm relieved because the gane won't be coming out during Finals, like they would've on December 3rd. So I can most likely cut class the next day to my leisure.
@From:
that's some BS. I hate it when nintendo fanboys do that shit, it's like they're battered wives. Whenever nintendo delays something, which they do for all their games, people say well atleast it's going to be perfect. When was the last perfect nintendo game? The only game that would fit in that approaches the category is OoT. Other games have been good and even fewer great, but nowhere near fucking perfect. Nintendo is just stringing people around because they know they're the only company (besides Blizzard) that can do that shit. Smash is done right now, some representative from nitendo was bragging during interviews at TGS about how they could ship Brawl right now if they wanted to. I mean if Halo gets delayed you see Peter Moore coming back to E3 with a tattoo, I want Miyamoto to tattoo 2/10/2008 on his face.
It was a business decision, they don't want Galaxy, WiiFit, and Brawl released so close together because they could take away sales from each other and nintendo also knows they're the only ones making any decent games for the wii so they need to space out their releases so it appears that there is a constant slew of good games.
Fuck you, Nintendo. I don't give a rat's ass about Galaxy and I already have a weight bench. I bought a wii for one reason and that is Brawl. Give me my mother fucking brawl already.
Have to say that I sorta agree with this guy. If the game released further away from my birthday, I think I might have had a similar attitude.
And I'm thinking that the updates will stop around December, or else it'll spoil everything. At least with a Dec 3rd date, that was enough to reveal a whole bunch of stuff, but there would be so much more when you played the game yourself. Now with 2 more months, unless the game is absolutely massive, I'm thinking they'll have to stop at some point.
Ninja edit: Hands on in up! To put it shortly: It rocks!
17 weeks T___T
Oh well, now i'm shure that I'll have a wii for the relase date.

True, but i expected as much, i didn't want to see moves from the crappy Sonic games. So all that's left to work with are Sonic's spins and jumps.
Ah, 3 days before my birthday.
The good news? After the first semester, so I'll have all my College Applications done and finished with.

There’s still a little more development to be done… I’m hoping to complete it without incident.
I'll take Sakurai's word over some butthurt fanboy.
New info from IGN
http://wii.ign.com/articles/826/826577p1.html
- A face-sucking Metroid, a swarm of 2D Advance Wars sprites and Drill Dozer appear as Assist Trophies
- Character color changes return; one of Link's options is a Dark Link costume ("Since each character can also switch colors pre-fight, Nintendo took the opportunity to seamlessly include Dark Link as one of the character options")
I'm half tempted to go onto some massive Nintendo fanboy forum and start posting about how "with the game delayed, we can get more site updates! =D"
Like somebody said earlier in the thread, Sonic looks like he could be sorta fun in the Subspace Emissiary, but really boring in versus play.
The annoying thing is that they got our hopes for an X-Mas release [one that's only two months away], then they just up and move it. Am positive they have legitimate reasons, but it doesn't make it any less shitty. After having Warhammer Online unofficially delayed, this is just kicking a guy when he's down.
It would be nice to get some confirmation from Sakurai about this new date, though.
Feb 10 huh. Well I expected as much. It stinks, but just shows how much effort is going into it. And at the very least it give me more time with mario galaxy.
i dont want him doing any thing but working on that game and doing updates …... voice chat well happen too just you watch.
@Komrade:
New info from IGN
Advance Wars.
YESYESYES.
Just need Sturm…!
How can there be voice chat when the Wii doesn't even have headset capabilities?

Oh really, there's other Wii games that support voice chat?
Edit: Uh, what Gohn said…
Where the hell does it confirm he's out?
(videos aren't working for me fyi)
http://gamevideos.com/video/id/15372
Unique character entrances are confirmed to be returning.
This game looks absolutely gorgeous.
Confirmed: Luigi is out!
Mario has a Luigi alternate costume. 'Tis a shame.
Mario's pants in the alternate costume are brown, as seen in the gameplay video.
Also: unique intros return, new assist trophies are revealed, the third part of the Fire Emblem castle is a small subterranian pit suspended over lava, Meta Knight's tornado move allows him to move around and hover while using it, and Sonic's standard B-move is a homing attack.
Yeah, not quite sure why you assumed Luigi isn't returning. He's practically guaranteed, anyway.

Thats what I really missed from Melee, nice to see they
re back. Yes, the game looks beautiful, the framerate and smoothness is amazing.
If Luigi isnt in this game I
ll use Sonic for every last match I play.
What excites me is that now we have an increased chance for Advanced Wars to have a playable character in the game. If the symbol for the assist trophy isn't the Smash logo, it practically confirms it.
Luigi not in Brawl? Careful what you say is "confirmed" or not. You could inadvertently anger/upset all those Luigi fans out there.
Alt. Costumes sound fun. Hopefully Wario gets his old duds along with the WarioMan suit. Also, if K. Rool is playable, they could be his Crown and Robe, Pirate version, Mad Scientist version, and Boxer version.
This confirms that there are more smash ball than one per turn. and that you hae to smack the smash Ball and stuff XP
and fuck yes the stuff I loved in SSB are back from SSBB the winning poses are back after the matches are done where ya see the characters clap in the background lol
Whoo boy. On the mario samus vid (you can find it in gohn's link) the zero cannon did 44% damage and knocked mario far enough to KO him.
And Super sonic looks like a slower more controled version of volt tackle. Just fly around and wack them.
Feb 10! thats a day after my birthday!,Oh well i guess i have to wait longer,First King of Fighters XI and Neo Geo BC got delayed now Brawl
I suppose I jumped the gun on the Luigi thing, but I'm not the only one who thought so
@From:
And has anyone noticed in the IGN vid of Brawl where they show off the characters and stages, that Mario has an outfit that looks exactly like Luigi? Does this mean that Luigi could've been possibly dropped?
Plus, looking at the profile picture, Mario's face does look slimmer, unless his face was always slim. And that doesn't look like a M on his cap. More like an L.
My $.02
Mario only died because he didn't bother to recover.
And wow, Meta Knight has a very deep voice.
I suppose I jumped the gun on the Luigi thing, but I'm not the only one who thought so
Luigi doesn't have brown pants, though. It's 100% obvious that the costume isn't Luigi's, yet people are assuming it is.
That's like saying Wario wasn't gonna be in a Smash Brothers game because one of Mario's costumes in melee was yellow and purple.
THis game just looks soooo epic now. I cant wait to own it @_@.
Jill, from Drill Dozer is an Assist Trophy! I'd prefer if she were playable, but I knew she'd be in Brawl, one way or another!
Sonic's final smash looks really lame.

It's strange that we are getting Female Assist Trophys but not new Female playable characters,I know theres Zero Suit Samus but it's still Samus
Sonic's final smash looks really lame.
Super Sonic is NOT LAME!!! YOU TAKE THAT BACK RIGHT NOW!!! :cwy:
Wow, Super Sonic is shown… and it looks like shit. I mean, what kind of time constraint were they on when they thought of that? "Oh I know, let's have him fly around and do absolutely nothing else! What a great idea!"
It's all that he really needs to do. They seem to be basing his moves off of the old-school Sonic games (minus his regular B move), and in those games, whatever Super Sonic touches dies.
Super Sonic is the lamest Final Smash we've seen. They could at least have him doing more than flying around all stiff-like.
It's basically a shitty-looking version of Bolt Tackle.
I think it's moreso the adventure games where you just bump into things to hurt them.
I was hoping for more in smash though.
Which video was Jill shown in?
Wow, Super Sonic is shown… and it looks like shit. I mean, what kind of time constraint were they on when they thought of that? "Oh I know, let's have him fly around and do absolutely nothing else! What a great idea!"
Then tell me what else he's gonna do while in Super Sonic. Shoot out beams from his hands and have a giant cannon shoot out of his ass? You already said you aren't a fan of Sonic at all; so regardless of what he does, I'm pretty sure you're gonna complain about it.
Besides, in the games when he goes Super Sonic, the main things that he did was zip around even faster and fly. I mean it was practically a given that's what would happen. Like I asked in the first post, is there anything else he can do besides go around the stage hitting people? if you have any ideas that would be good, I'd like to hear them.
They could still make it look more interesting. Make his model have more animation when he's flying. Fuck, he could be tap dancing and it would look better than him flying around like he fell asleep.
In case anybody is interested, one of Meta Knight's win phrases is something similar to: "There is much for you to learn."
What's that song it plays when Meta Knight wins? I'm guessing it's from Kirby…but...
...oh, and new narrator.
Well, I'll tell you one thing… That's not Meta-Knight's 4Kids actor. It's a very deep voice indeed. Reminds me of Chris Sabat actually...
Heh, but Sonic stays with his 4Kids voice. Oh, well.
Also, Super Sonic is the perfect final smash for Sonic. At least he's got something existing from a previous game... Unlike Mario's generic "Fire Kamehameha of Doom" which doesn't even come from anything...
Well Mario never really has done anything that could distinguish itself as a final smash unlike most of the other characters. Besides, it's a simple fireball move like someone said(I believe it was Cyringohn, if it was someone else my mistake ), simplicity is Mario's forte.
Where the hell is everyone seeing the Super Sonic Final Smash?
EDIT Never mind, I found it… Silly me!
EDIT Oh, COME ON! Super Sonic doesn't look THAT bad! Jeez!
