It wasn't fair. The enemy turned on items.Mockingbird said:IS that the first stage of SF64? LOL at Sakurai losing Falco on stage 1.

Gameboy on Virtual Console. Belive.RagnarokX said:Just watch there be a Pokemon Red/Blue demo and if you encounter missingno it corrupts your Brawl data and mixes up your trophy collection.

Jiggy37 said:So have I, but as far as I'm concerned, this means more promotion for those classics and more gamers actually getting in on them. I don't think even a diehard Smash Bros. hater like Amir0x would criticize the idea of everybody being able to play a free trial of Earthbound and Super Metroid and experience greatness.
But then again, ProfessorLobo seems to hate this feature for some reason or other, so apparently anything's possible. :/
Whoa, whoa. There is no "Nintendo" in this. At the risk of getting roasted by half the people in here, Nintendo can't even manage to sell themselves half as effectively as Sakurai has managed in one. Single. Game. No, really.Meloche said:I've complained quite often that Nintendo has done a poor job of making casual Wii owners aware of the Virtual Console, and it's nice to see them finally getting the word out there on the service. Not only will Brawl's Masterpieces mode give newcomers a taste of some of the older Nintendo classics for the first time, but it'll also serve to introduce the Virtual Console service to a lot of people that have probably never checked out the Shop Channel at all. Good work Nintendo (Sakurai), keep it up.

Playable demos of 20 year old games.
...yay?
Sakurai said:To end, Id like to take this opportunity to send my thanks to all the game creators and affiliated parties who helped in making this possible.
Don't get all BrawlCentral on us. He's obviously referring to this specific update.Scribble said:I wonder if this update was the final one.
Ok, Jiggy, I forgive you for the Collete comment. Hell, you can even have Lloyd too.Jiggy37 said:Whoa, whoa. There is no "Nintendo" in this.

I mean, look. He's brought thirty-seven game composers on board, something Nintendo would never consider doing. He's promoted Konami and Sega, and hence is supporting the game industry as a whole. He's allowed users to create and share their own content. Nobody else at Nintendo bothers with this on a regular basis, at least not for high-visibility games (Advance Wars and Picross DS not being among them, for example). He's implemented all possible Wii control styles, where Nintendo would usually force one or the other out of traditional and experimental controls. Speaking of one or the other, he's put in a full-fledged adventure mode, which Nintendo also doesn't bother with; they're polarized, and are all for either single-player-only experiences (Mario, Zelda, Metroid), or multiplayer-heavy ones (Pokemon, Mario Kart, Wii Sports). It's most evident with how Miyamoto openly told Sakurai not to bother too much with single-player for the N64 game; they've got some kind of either/or mentality going on.
And now Smash Bros. is promoting VC more than Nintendo has in the fourteen months that the service has existed. This isn't Nintendo. This is all Sakurai, and he is the man.
Q: What point in the game is this? A: The Ridley boss fight right before you get the final energy tank!!!Sakurai said:Some titles come with save data.

Yes, since the Melee updates kept on coming even after the game's JPN release.Scribble said:What? Is it so far-fetched to think that this could be the final update, since the game is coming out next week?
Lloyd can stay far, far away. I'm still hoping he goes legitimately evil (instead of mind-controlled evil) and I get to kill him in Knight of Ratatosk.VeritasVierge said:Ok, Jiggy, I forgive you for the Collete comment. Hell, you can even have Lloyd too.

The PS3 should also be affordable.Absinthe said:Color me unimpressed. Demos should be an inherent part of the Wii Shop Channel to begin with.

It's farfetch'd to think the text you quoted is reffering to the possibility of this as a final update. He's obviously just thanking all the developers who are letting their demos become availble, although they probably did not have much of a choice.Scribble said:What?

Oooh. Do want. This would be awesome.M3wThr33 said:I wonder if it'll be like Game & Watch Gallery 4.
That game had a museum mode in addition to the playable games. BUT if you got REALLY good and got great scores, you could play the games in the museum. It was crazy the amount of games you could unlock.
(Read: Unlock full games)
Pipe dream, yes, but somehow this disc is begging to get hacked to unlock all of these.

Pretty much. I've played these full games plenty of times. Why would I care about a bunch of demos of twenty year old games?Absinthe said:Color me unimpressed. Demos should be an inherent part of the Wii Shop Channel to begin with.
