Other attacks we've seen already include a floating Metroid that sucks onto battlers, a massive attack of multiple 2D Advance Wars sprites, various Pokemon, a dashing Drill Dozer attack, the Excite Bike attack (similar to the Advance Wars move), and then of course the fire flower, baseball bat, beam sword, and the like. There were multiple times within the fight where we got our butts kicked simply because we were captivated by nostalgia; priceless.

Oh wow a Metroid, Drill Dozer and Advance Wars attack!

So much awesomeness in one small package!

edit: Damn you're quick Crushed.

 

[ant1532]

Norfair is a level!!

 

[Pureauthor]

a massive attack of multiple 2D Advance Wars sprites,

WOOOWOOOWOOOWOOOWOOO

Since each character can also switch colors pre-fight, Nintendo took the opportunity to seamlessly include Dark Link as one of the character options. He fights the same, but looks totally badass, which is a must.

[Chris R]

that char select screen looks rather small site blocked so I cant rtfa, but is that semi-final build?

 

[Visualante]

February. Do you think we forgot?

That IS badass! I wonder what the other secrets the costume changes might hold...

 

[LakeEarth]

Its not coming out 2007 anymore?

 

[SantaC]

wow IGN had some glowing impressions. Matt is usually very harsh.

 

[Virtua Ben]

Looks absolutely awesome. They've put alot of work into this one and it shows. Can't wait for it. I REALLY want to give Sonic a try...why did you delay it Nintendo? Why?!

 

[Golden Darkness]

Matt hasn't put his up yet. It's just Craig and Bozon.

And both seem to actually like the Pure Wiimote option.

 

[Nightz]

I REALLY want to give Sonic a try...why did you delay it Nintendo? Why?!

So they could put Sonic in. :lol

 

[flipping_heck]

Confirmed:
Alternate costumes (Dark Link)

Advance War AT
Drill Dozer AT
Metroid AT

Norfair level

 

[Innotech]

Because Nintendo cant make enough wiis to satisfy this kind of demand plus the holiday demand. It would be a legendary fuckup come to think of it.

 

[Forgotten Ancient]

February is so far away

 

[Rentahamster]

This Wii version uses Melee as its foundation and builds upwards from there. The control and fighting mechanic hasn't changed a bit…but every character has had their core attacks and abilities been balanced and fine-tuned.

Good news. I take his word that he's a seasoned Smash player and would know all the deeper gameplay elements in Melee.

 

[Iam Canadian]

Norfair is a level? Terrific!

PLEASE tell me there's a remix of the Lower Norfair theme from Super Metroid.

 

[Like the hat?]

the game needs a wind waker/phantom hourglass styled cel-shaded level. or wind waker link as a character. THAT would be badass.

 

[Date of Lies]

fully customizable buttons for the WIN

 

[BGBW]

So do we know what the final part of Castle Siege is yet?

 

[Forgotten Ancient]

Heck yeah. That'd be a nice replacement for a young Link.

 

[Firestorm]

Read it through the tears that only a delay could bring.

If you're fresh from the Super Smash Bros. Melee fight on the GameCube, everything that's in today's Super Smash Bros. Brawl demo will feel like home. This Wii version uses Melee as its foundation and builds upwards from there. The control and fighting mechanic hasn't changed a bit…but every character has had their core attacks and abilities been balanced and fine-tuned. There are so many subtle changes to each character it's really hard to explain them without sounding like some sort of Smash Bros. snob.

The game is gorgeous, and hasn't lost a beat moving to the Wii. It's fully widescreen supported which definitely works to this game's advantage. It still runs at a silky smooth 60 frames per second, and all the characters look far more detailed than they did on the GameCube.

Boo-yeah.

 

[woxel1]

Hey, a totally different player select menu. How nice.

What is the white box next to Bowser for? Looks like RANDOM?

 

[Firestorm]

Norfair is a level!!

Dammit. Does every Metroid level need fire/acid? Get out of Super Metroid and gimme my Chozo Ruins Sakurai.

Although this does mean Lower Norfair / Magmoor Caverns music might be in

 

[Firestorm]

It looks like the same one as from the Japanese event two days ago. Also, SSBM has a random character select too. Just press the blank space to the left of Pichu or the right of Roy.

:lol yeah, but it was already said Retro wasn't asked to lend any of thier stuff to them so I doubt any Prime will be in it sadly..

 

[Tristam]

Our analysis: Brawl owns our soul.

[Firestorm]

:lol yeah, but it was already said Retro wasn't asked to lend any of thier stuff to them so I doubt any Prime will be in it sadly..

Yeah, I randomly remembered that fact last night but still hold out hope =( Although if he didn't even get Retro's help any western third party character is out.

 

[Iam Canadian]

:lol yeah, but it was already said Retro wasn't asked to lend any of thier stuff to them so I doubt any Prime will be in it sadly..

No Prime stuff? Hmm...

In that case, hopefully any other Metroid levels we get won't have freaking lava in them. Maridia or a proper, jungle Brinstar would be nice.

 

[XiaNaphryz]

You're kidding right? There's been a lot more characters confirmed than that, that's just what's available on the demo.

 

[Firestorm]

!

Welcome to "Four Kinds of Control" update a few months ago =P

 

[woxel1]

I know that. Did they really have to make it that obvious (and garish)? I know it's only a demo, but...

 

[castle007]

Sounds awesome

That means this christmas Super Mario Galaxy is going to be my bitch. (Actually, I am going to be its bitch lol)

 

[ShockingAlberto]

That Drill Dozer assist mention makes me happy.

 

[Jirotrom]

So does anyone know the exact reason for the delay... I don't mind it but would really like to know.

 

[ShockingAlberto]

Delay to January: Because Sakurai wants to work on the game some more.
Delay to February for America: Because NOA does not know what they're doing.

[Alien Bob]

Holy sex

 

[Duderz]

Even though Retro didn't give any assets for Sakurai, I hope a Prime-inspired level is in the game.

 

[djtiesto]

All this awesome news makes the delay sting even harder

 

[Smiles and Cries]

Delay to January: Because Sakurai wants to work on the game some more.

What? If Sakurai wants to work on the game til January what made people think that we would get a US version a month before Japan?

:lol :lol :lol

 

[Mithos Yggdrasill]

MAIN QUESTION ABOUT GAMEPLAY: YAY OR NAY ?

 

[Smiles and Cries]

Even though Retro didn't give any assets for Sakurai, I hope a Prime-inspired level is in the game.

who said Retro did not lie to cover up secrets? this is Nintendo we are messing with

not even one Sonic image leaked before hand

Does this answer your question?

There it is.

 

[Jiggy]

Advance Wars: Happy that it's gotten representation. Sad that it probably means no playable Andy and Sami.

Drill Dozer: Happy that it's gotten representation. Sad that it means no playable Jill--she would have been really unique.

Norfair: Awesome. And I called it, by the way... I said it would be in just to spite Firestorm, who's been begging for Chozo Ruins every day.

Alternate costumes (Dark Link): Wonderful news. There's probably no Dark Samus, though, or I'm guessing they would have noticed... I'll keep holding out hope for Marin Zelda and other extraordinarily unlikely creations.

Meta Knight being awesome: THANK YOU. My favorite of the newcomers, he's bound to get into my top rotation... I always like the aerial characters anyway.

Minus button for tossing items on Wiimote only: Eh, I can't see myself even possibly adjusting to that. Throwing items is about all I ever do since I use mostly characters with no special move projectiles, or weak ones.

Yeessss !!! GOTY confirmed !!
