Title: Smash Bros Brawl
Post by: mDuo13 on January 15, 2008, 08:48:26 AM
... has been delayed again, until March 9. Yeesh.

How much more are they going to spoil before the game gets released? We already know 24 characters, lots of stages, several modes... I wish the game would just come out already!

Share your collective anticipation and griping in this thread.

This is the last delay, period. It has to be.

My guess is somewhere between 30 and 35 characters total; the ones we know now have to be standard, since they've kept somewhat of a trend with the first two games(the first had 8 to start but 12 total, Melee had 14 at start but 25 in total), so another 8 or 12 characters as unlockable fighters isnt unlikely.

I hope Mega Man is an unlockable character. It would be cool if Nintendo did bring some of the old school NES characters that didn't get a lot of attention back in the day. That's probably a pipe dream though lol

I smell a gathering for this after it's released lol ;p

So today I saw the game was reviewed and become the 7th or 8th ever to get a perfect score from Famitsu. Dang. That just makes waiting all the more difficult. JP release date is January 31...

Can the American Wii play import games? If it can, why not import it?

of course, it'll be $$$$$ as hell, but you guys want it that much, eh?

I can't say I'm surprised that it's been delayed, but that doesn't mean I'm not PISSED about it. And woeful. T_T *grabby hands*

Its not that bad

For me I got:

The new Advance Wars as well as Professor Layton that come out for the DS this month.  Then No More Heros for the Wii around the end of the month.

So that will last me till then

I knew it as much because after working in the gaming industry.. Feb was NEVER a major release month...  ::)

Let's just hope we can get our fix / more practice by having more gatherings.. where were just practicing our skills... on Melee...

oh and random comment.

anyone ever heard of the "Black Hole" Vegetable glitch ? (in Melee)

Dsakurashadows was the first person to show this to me and it was pretty random... and hilirous.  :P

Yeah, the black hole glitch is freakin' awesome. Never done it in real life - just seen it on Youtube.

And yeah, February seemed like an off-beat time to release such a huge game... but you know Smash would've MADE it a big release month. ;) Ah well.

p.s. ryu - you probably never knew this - but the saying is supposed to be "whet" your appetite. As in to sharpen it like a knife. Neat, right? Sort of like how the "Saturn" logo really is a depiction of the planet Saturn. >=)

The next Friday night gather I'll have to show it to you guys...

Me, DLZ, DshawowSakura & her friend Piper tried it out.

It's REALLY random.

While the new characters are exciting (SONIC LIEK ZOMG), I would be a touch sad if some of the previous regulars didn't show up (like, say, Luigi, Cpt. Falcon...). That, and...

...aw, heck. SONIC WH-WHAAAAT!!! :3

Jerry: So that means that this friday, you'll be joining us? I would like to see this trick performed.

I'm gonna start pre-ordering brawl soon since I received a nice late christmas gift from my cousin which is a gamestop card enough to pay for buying the game itself.

When you do have it, I need to try it out to see how it is.

I know what you mean!!!! I just got my wii and I come to find out that it was pushed back again! I mean I'm all for the many new characters (boo they got rid of my favorite) but come on. Don't set a date unless you know for sure it's going to be exact. This just getting me burning to play it even more.

Who's your favorite? I doubt that they're releasing ALL the characters on the site. Just sit back and hope your character is actually a secret character.

z0mg GameStop called and said they had my Wii. FRICKIN' YEAH! I don't have to worry any more!

I guess I have to preorder Brawl soon then.

Post by: OniCourseMusha on January 19, 2008, 10:01:54 AM
Scratch that pre-order I said.  I'm actually just reserved mine and paid the price at Gamestop.  Looking forward to try the game on the first day it'll get released.

Lets see I have had my pre-order for this game since.. (digs around his desk for a moment and pulls out a worn receipt) ...AUGUST 17th!!!!  :o

Oh well I will have to console myself with Fire Emblem and Guitar Hero III for the WII for now. (Yeah they have been out awhile but they are recent purchases for me.)

You think that's bad, I had my LoZ: Twilight Princess preordered almost TWO YEARS before  release and THEN I had to wait for the Gamecube version to come out. (I didn't have my Wii yet)

I'm aiming towards Meta Knight and Lucas (only because Ness is my favorite character and I'm hoping his fight style is similar)

I think this Smash Brothers has the best music so far. If you haven't been on the website then you should go and listen to some of the songs that they posted from the game.

I normally play Pikachu or Peach on Melee (for some inexplicable reason, I'm best at them) and they're both returning, but I'll have to see how much the control scheme's changed.  I played Yoshi on the original but his moves were just different enough in Melee to screw me up.

Why do they keep moving the game back?  :-[

They underestimated the time it would take to perfect it. To quote Miyamoto: "A late game is only late until it comes out. A bad game is bad forever." So better for it to be late than on time and crappy.

Well, when put that way, you can't really argue it. 

At least I have Rock Band to tie me over til March.

Really? That would be cool if he was still in the game. Also, I hope Luigi is in the game also. BUT, I will try some of the new characters. Like Meta Knight, I can't wait to play as him.
