G&W is pretty much confirmed as well. Icon #13 will bear that to fruition

why waste a roster spot on him :/

 

[FormallyFamicom]

Anyone mind rehosting the Pikmin song? For some reason I can't get it to play in any browser.

 

[Danthrax]

Because he's already made, and he's awesome?

 

[[Nintex]]

Sorry if a download link's already been posted, I only just got around to making the MP3 because I was staring at the DOJO in awe :lol

Pikmin: World Map

Now that's out of the way...


FUCK YEAH, OLIMAR IN BRAWL!!!!!!

I was just about to ask for this. Could you host it somewhere else though?

 

[PkunkFury]

I wonder if we'll get an update with a full character select screen now. It makes sense that Sakurai was hiding it because at least one character hadn't been seen. If we have the full roster now, that'd be a good update. He's bound to show it soon since the game comes out in two weeks. I guess there's still time to reveal one more starter though...

 

[Crab Milk Mickey]

slight edit:

Needs a nose.

He's a pretty important Nintendo character if you think about it. The G&W LCDs sold 17 million copies before the GB and the G&W handheld games were all good sellers, and fun at that

 

[Scalpel Knight]

Wow, the one night I decide not to stay up this happens. I know this is all Sakurai's doing. Nonetheless, zoomj awesome omgwtfbbq etc.

Spoiler

I should finish Pikmin and buy Pikmin 2 already

sales != fun

in that case Little Mac would be a playable character ahead of quite a few.

[Cronox]

Mitsuda has said (May 22, 2007) that he will arrange two songs for Brawl!

As Chrono Trigger is my favorite console game ever, I would be very happy if Crono was in, but is anyone really betting on that happening? A non-Nintendo franchise character that hasn't been seen since SNES? I assume that you never met Crono in Chrono Cross of course.

If he was put in though... man...

 

[DDayton]

So, Olimar in Subspace Emissary

I am predicting he teams up with Samus

This idea is made of so much win.

Nah ... Samus and Captain Falcon should team up. They are both bounty hunters, after all.

 

[DDayton]

So... 22 slots, 20 series confirmed so far, 17 of them have characters. That leaves us with a highly likely Game and Watch (with character) and one majorly wild card.

Top contender from Nintendo being Custom Robo?
Or top third party contribution coming from Capcom?

Namco.

Pac-Man.

Wakka wakka.

 

[teddyboi]

To those of you complaining about Olimar's size...now would it really make sense if he was tiny in Brawl?

And also, in one of the pics, it seems that Olimar is shorter than Diddy. That warrants "small" in my book.

I think the Pikmin will be treated like Yoshi's eggs in Yoshi's Island. You couldn't do much without them, as they were his arsenal of attacks.

 

[SantaC]

-_-

um I had like 7 or 8 of the G&W games, but I can guarantee they're not fun anymore. God forbid me having a different opinion than you.

The new song would fit right in a soundtrack for a Harvest moon or Rune Factory title

 

[PkunkFury]

The new song would fit right in a soundtrack for a Harvest moon or Rune Factory title

speaking of new song, did any J-gaffers comment on what Sakurai said about the Strawberry Flower song on the Japanese Dojo? Does he say if it is going to be rerecorded/remixed or a straight rip from the single?

edit: for those who don't know the song: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ai_no_Uta_(Strawberry_Flower_song)

It's the song from the Japanese Pikmin commercials

 

[SantaC]

That's pretty much my thoughts on every newcomer that's not Pit. :lol

what about snake and sonic?

 

[Amir0x]

hey Pikmin

i hope this means PIKMIN 3 TOTALLY BEING ANNOUNCED THIS YEAR

ok i know there's no correlation but it's the closest thing i've seen to that since Wii was launched

 

[HK-47]

Well Olimar's ship camoed in SMG too

ah glad you stealth missed a post of mine!

 

[SovanJedi]

Holy cats, it's Olimar! Not exactly how I imagined he would work, but no sense in being picky about it.

I wonder if they are starting to roll out the new characters on the Dojo before they show them in those online adverts? If that's the case we might be getting a lot of unveiled characters in the next few weeks.

 

[Nuclear Muffin]

WooT! Fuck yeah! Who needs the Ice Climbers! Mitsuda succeeds yet again with the arrangment too!

Thanks for the new avvy as well

 

[Shogun]

You just want that logic to work so that we will get mother 3, let alone a mother wii.

 

[Amir0x]

well there's no other reason for me to care about Smash Bros. other than the off chance these characters mean someone at Nintendo likes good games in America sooo

 

[Zerodoppler]

what about snake and sonic?

Let's just say I'm not a fan.

 

[HK-47]

well there's no other reason for me to care about Smash Bros. other than the off chance these characters mean someone at Nintendo likes good games in America sooo

SSBM certainly helped FE out. And the popularity of many of the more obscure franchises appearing in the games, Mother included

 

[DDayton]

...what about the fact that it provides us yet another opportunity to mock Sega, in as much as it took Nintendo's character-based fighting game to get a decent 2D Sonic platformer?

 

[Vyse The Legend]

Yeah, the problem isn't Mother's popularity in the US. It's that Nintendo knows Mother is popular but does not care. In fact, they outright take joy in the suffering of Mother fans like Amir0x.

Everyone forgets Rush

 

[Speevy]

I've been waiting for Olimar forever. Awesome update.

 

[DDayton]

I've always assumed Mother is popular, but simply not that popular.

 

[Filter]

I wish I could forget rush.

as for the pikmins... fuck yeah!

 

[HK-47]

I've always assumed Mother is popular, but simply not that popular.

NoA definitely has something against Mother

 

[Speevy]

So aside from the dubious Animal Crossing character, we're pretty much set as far as new challengers are concerned.

Not yet

 

[psycho_snake]

Wow, Olimar is a surprise. Well its not a rurpise that he;s a playable character; I always had the feeling that he will be in the gamne, but I'mn surprised that another character was unvieled. I thought that we wouldnt get anymore because the rest of the characters in the game are unlockable and Sakurai didnt want to give away who those characters were.

 

[Amir0x]

mocking SEGA is old hat, i washed my hands of them after NiGHTS 2

 

[Battersea Power Station]

How come you guys always call Mother Mother but very rarely Earthbound? I think Mother is a much cooler title, but it's still weird, considering the forum almost always writes Resident Evil and not Biohazard.

 

[HK-47]

Cause we never got the other two games so we have no series so to speak. So calling everything Mother makes more sense than flip flopping back and forth

Also its referred to as Mother in SSBB

 

[psycho_snake]

The one bolded are those I could care less about.

I agree with you on most of the ones you bolded apart from Mr Game & Watch and Jigglypuff. Both of them are different from the rest of the characters in brawl. The more characters we have the better, just as long as they're not clones and neither of those two are clones.

 

[Scalpel Knight]

If you could get the game this instant by sexually pleasuring Sakurai would you do it?

 

[Haly]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Also, the pikmin models are hot.

 

[psycho_snake]

I dont think Mother is a bad name, but I like the sound of earthbound more.

I would wait a month til its released................
