WTF how do you guys have English translations already? Both the US and UK sites are still on Masterpieces for me. The only one that's updated is the stupid German one.

It's in the Game Modes section but I don't see it on the main page yet.

 

[scottnak]

Isn't there one already?

I don't think so. We've seen a Trophy of the Ouendan guys. But that's it.

 

[MegaByte]

Stealth Clu Clu Land music reveal!

Stealth Shin OniGaShima music reveal! (on the Japanese site)

 

[HolyCheck]

VIRTUAL BOY DID EXIST.

 

[m00]

The jp version of the Dojo has a different game in the lower right corner of the Masterpieces screenshot. Does anyone here know what it is?

 

[Metal B]

Exceed 300 feet swim distance with all characters???

The ... Number ... have to ... post .... 300 ... fantrailer ... cliché ...

The Chronicle may be my favorite part of the Vault. I love that kind of complete catalog listing; I hope there's a little info about each game.

The fact that they included Virtual Boy makes me wonder if we won't see some other representation of the system in the game. Maybe a stage that's completely red vector(?) graphics?

 

[Chumly]

I wonder if we will have

Solo
Group
Data

Explained before release. Since we just got vault and we already know options and WiFi has been semi gone over. I could potentially see those as the next three updates before release.

Fire Emblem

Looks like Fire emblem... I hope we get that in ours too!

EDIT: beaten =P

 

[Rindain]

How are you guys all seeing the update? I've refreshed every language and don't see anything.

 

[Iam Canadian]

Nice of Nintendo to actually acknowledge it.

Maybe there'll be a Virtual Boy A.T that turns everything black and red or something.

 

[Mockingbird]

Crap.. Fire Emblem (I think FE 3) for Japan and Super Metroid for NA

 

[Keru_Shiri]

I like how the demoes are displayed like Wii Channels.

 

[MetatronM]

Ooh, did anybody else look closely at the Chronicle screenshot? Game and Watch confirmed.

Doesn't necessarily completely confirm the actual character is in, sure, but...

 

[Mockingbird]

Nice of Nintendo to actually acknowledge it.

Maybe there'll be a Virtual Boy A.T that turns everything black and red or something.

Even better would be a virtual boy stage, but it's only acessible once every hour on the hour.

 

[Ydahs]

I don't think so. We've seen a Trophy of the Ouendan guys. But that's it.

Oh, got confused.

So, are the masterpieces only NES games?

 

[Chumly]

Check the german one. I saw it there front page. Then just did google translate.

 

[suaveric]

did we know before this update that we'll be able to use the SD card for storing levels?

 

[kamikaze]

The Dojo is a hype machine. Why would things slow in its last week before the game is released? If anything the floodgates should be opening.

because i probably have the worst track record for predictions?

awesome update!

 

[Jiggy]

Jiggy, have we ever had 3 game mode updates in a row before?

Not officially.

December 17th: Co-op Events, stealth Coin Mode, stealth co-op Target Smash
Three in one day, if that counts. If not...

December 26th: Trophy Stands (adventure mode (not game mode)), stealth boss rematches (game mode)
December 27th: Coin Launcher (game mode)
December 28th: Dragoon (item) + Share (game mode)

And I classified boss rematches as a game mode, but some might say that's more related to adventure mode, so it's arguable there. But what's gone on for the past three updates this time is definitely unprecedented.

 

[Iam Canadian]

Oh, got confused.

So, are the masterpieces only NES games?

We have Super Metroid and Mother 2 confirmed, so no.

 

[PunjabiPlaya]

Oh, got confused.

So, are the masterpieces only NES games?

No... In the masterpieces update they showed Starfox 64 (N64) and Super Metriod (SNES)...

EDIT: Damnit, beaten! >_<

 

[Dark Ninja]

Boooooo

I want to play as an AC vilager

 

[Mockingbird]

We have Super Metroid and Mother 2 confirmed, so no.

Don't forget Star Fox 64. Although one has to wonder whether the GCN games, like Pikmin, will make it in.

 

[TheGreatDave]

did we know before this update that we'll be able to use the SD card for storing levels?

Yeah. Do we know if we can play levels directly off the SD card without having to copy them over? If we do I'm probably just going to be angry at Nintendo for their shitty system for VC.

 

[underfooter]

Exceed 300 feet swim distance with all characters???

Huh? Swim mode confirmed?

There's a pokemon trainer VS pokemon trainer video on youtube, and at one part you can clearly see Charizard swims for a bit.


I'm really happy they added this, because I always felt it was sort of dumb how the characters in Melee would just drown in Termina Bay.

 

[pulga]

Only 0:40 seconds to try out Ice Climbers? Surely, that can't be possible.

 

[DDayton]

Note the "As of 2007" on the Chronicles page.

I'm thinking we might see the Chronicles page updated throughout the life of the Wii.

 

[Malfunky]

Car vault!


.. Anyone?

 

[TJ Spyke]

Yeah, that would be sweet. Super Smash Bros. Melee had some upcoming titles trophy too. The only ones I can recall are Alpha (Cubivore: Survival of the Fittest) and Love Giant and Hate Giant (Doushin the Giant) though. I don't remember if the Animal Crossing characters had an upcoming label or not.

Yes, all of the trophies from Cubivore, Doshin the Giant, and Animal Crossing were labeled as "Future Release" (obviously it turned out to be BS with Doshin).

 

[GDGF]

For those who haven't seen, http://us.wii.com/iwata_asks/ssbb/vol5_page2.jsp (the AT video link) shows Jeff in action.

That video is freaking awesome. I need to find my copy of Earthbound, stat!

 

[Ydahs]

We have Super Metroid and Mother 2 confirmed, so no.

Oh yeah, I've already forgotten... Too hot to think straight...

 

[Chumly]

I wonder if we will get to unlock more masterpieces.

 

[Zerodoppler]

Nice to see some more NES music in this game.

 

[Iam Canadian]

Only 0:40 seconds to try out Ice Climbers? Surely, that can't be possible.

Nobody should have to play Ice Climber for longer than that.

 

[Jiggy]

Only 0:40 seconds to try out Ice Climbers? Surely, that can't be possible.

That would be thirty more seconds than Ice Climber is worth playing anyway. (The ten seconds are important to realize how much it sucks. >_>)

 

[PunjabiPlaya]

There's a pokemon trainer VS pokemon trainer video on youtube, and at one part you can clearly see Charizard swims for a bit.

Where is this video you speak of?!?

 

[Azuran]

Jeff = GOTY confirmed

Also, yay for Mr . Game & Watch!

 

[Dan]

Note the "As of 2007" on the Chronicles page.

I'm thinking we might see the Chronicles page updated throughout the life of the Wii.

That just might make a whole lot of sense.

 

[Zerodoppler]

Ice Climbers is a great game. GTFO haters.

 

[Iam Canadian]

That would be thirty more seconds than Ice Climber is worth playing anyway. (The ten seconds are important to realize how much it sucks. >_>)

I remember the first six or so seconds being of extreme denial. The "this was in Smash Bros Melee...this can't be that bad" type of denial. Then it sunk in.

 

[Scalpel Knight]

Amazing how much content this game has. SSBB will truly be our game as much as it is Nintendo's.

 

[Sciz]

Brawl's bonus section nearly has enough content to qualify as a game on its own.

Best value game EVER.

 

[civilstrife]

Awesome update. So many possible thread titles :lol

Mm hmm... ...This is just nuts.

I’ve clearly gone overboard with Brawl.

Build stages like this one!...AND THIS ONE

Brawl: playing the way you want to play.

 

[Danthrax]

Note the "As of 2007" on the Chronicles page.

I'm thinking we might see the Chronicles page updated throughout the life of the Wii.

Yeah I noticed that too, I'll bet you're right. Maybe the list will be updated and we'll get [gasp] downloadable content?! New stickers and ATs?!

 

[Azuran]

Ice Climbers is a great game. GTFO haters.

Agreed.

I grew up playing Ice Climber so that game holds a lot of nostagia for me.

 

[E-phonk]

so, in the interview, when they talk about searching for old advertisements and manuals for games - can this be for chronicles?

 

[Man God]

Ice Climbers is decent.

I wonder how long they'll let you play EB for. I do think it would be hilarious if they let you unlock more time for the masterpieces.

Congratulations! You can now play Earthbound for TEN minutes!

 

[Jiggy]

If Ice Climber had smooth controls, I'd probably like it quite a bit more. I admit, it's hard to argue with 100 levels and the ability to select any of them at any time. And besides that, the game concept was nice and the choices for character and settings were original to be sure.


Edit: Writing this post made me realize exactly why it's limited to 40 seconds. :lol
