@WiggyDee: I wouldnt mind seeing the whole gang as:

a) a whole character like the pokemon trainer... that you can swap back and forth (party of four... felix, jenna, sole and piers)

or b)Assist Trophys... that would be awesome 2.

These days, a delay actually can be good for me. For this one, I couldn't decide whether to ask for it as a gift, or buy it myself. Still, I was looking forward to playing it, but as long as it doesn't turn into Half-Life 2, it's cool.

Im kinda indifferent to it (if it was going to happen, then let it happen for the good or the worse), since I dont really actually care about using any new characters (Besides Snake) in Brawl. Its pretty good though, this will make people happy besides the delay. BTW, I meant using in the sense of making them my primary characters to use in battles.

Anyway, has anyone seen the video of Sonic in Brawl? And if someone did, whats the name of the song played in it? I've been wondering it since I finished Sonic Adventure 2 a couple of years ago and I NEVER FIND IT!

I'm sorry about being an ass but this is straight up
bull****. I was really hoping Sonic would not be in
Brawl. I've been on other blogs and the comments on
them are going overboard. Now that Nintendo has made
this announcement a majority of them are really getting in and over their thickheaded skulls by requesting other unessasary third party characters
that Nintendo are not going to waste their money trying to put into the game.

As for the US version being delayed, Sakurai posts on the Smash Bros Japanese site about a delay, but not on the American version. As of today, the US version isn't officially delayed. But there's always tomorrow.

@otakuman22:
Hahaha, nice.

Personally, I'd love to see Goemon (Mystical Ninja/Ganbare Goemon!) as a Konami rep. He's been around since before the Famicom days. And while he doesn't have a huge impact in America (only 4 of his 20-something games were translated) he still has a sizable fanbase, especially of those who played the first N64 title.
His Fina Smash could be summoning Impact, who comes complete with his theme song sung by the great Ichirou Mizuki!

Gagamus — Wed, 10 Oct 2007 10:52:47 MDT

So besides Mario Galaxy, what the hell else is worth buying this holiday for the wii? When brawl comes out, it is going to be an incredible game no doubt but Nintendo really cannot manage their game portfolio at all. I haven't gotten anything worth buying since Mario Strikers and Prime 3 and this fall looks absolutely miserable besides Galaxy, and every other potentially great game is multiplatform and likely superior on another platform.

I'm okay with the delay. If that means I get a chance to kick the shit out of Sonic after years and years of torture, so be it. Sonic is going to pay for his sins. So is Solid Snake. Otacon and Mei Ling had better get some throat lozenges because they are going to be yelling "SNAKE... SNAKE!!!!!" a whole heck of a lot.

shouryuuken — Wed, 10 Oct 2007 10:30:25 MDT

i know plenty of you other former sega-heads have thought this, but i think the next smash should be sega vs nintendo, or heck even sega have its own variation of smash (fighters megamix 2?). who would u want to see on a roster for something like that? of course i think itd be good to dig from each of sega's eras to have fighters emerge, beginning with a team sonic to go against team mario.

sonic the hedgehog
tails "miles" prower
knuckles the echidna
amy rose
shadow the hedgehog
dr "eggman" robotnik

then..

alex kidd (alex kidd)
joe musashi (shinobi)
ax battler (golden axe)
axel stone (streets of rage)
ristar (ristar)
vectorman (vectorman)
toe jam & earl (toe jam & earl)
shion (wonderboy)
temjin (virtual on)
akira (virtua fighter)
prince ali (beyond oasis)
nights (nights into dreams)
rage (virtua cop)
beat (jet set radio)
amigo (samba de amigo)
ulala (space channel 5)
aiai (super monkey ball)
pepper (clockwork knight)
ryo (shenmue)
astal (astal)

thats an odd cast, but i think itd be really cool.

Looks like the US is in for a delay too.... if you check the smash bros site (www.smashbros.com) they updated with all the sonic info.

A second more stealthy update also came in terms of the release date. Before it said Dec 3rd, now it says TBD.... which means it probably is also getting a delay.... how retarded for nintendo to miss christmas smash, with mario AND smash there would have been no question that nintendo would destroy the other two. As is now they will only just dominate...

Tonx — Wed, 10 Oct 2007 07:55:34 MDT

The delay pains me a great deal - but with Melee holding 25 characters, and the Smash Bros. Dojo announcing 10 more since the site went live, how many characters are going to be in this game? I don't mind a delay until 2008 if they just keep putting content in. 50 characters doesn't seem far off - in fact, it seems realistic.

As a former SEGA loyalist, this makes me extremely happy. Hopefully, they make him a character worth using. I wonder what stage they're going to use.

According to the video at SmashBros, they're using the post Sonic Adventure stuff. Hmm. Sonic Adventure was awesome, but almost everything past that was not. I'd prefer to see a 3D representation of something from the original trilogy.

RWilloug — Wed, 10 Oct 2007 06:41:04 MDT

Guesses on what franchises they'll pull characters from next:

MegaMan: seems obvious since the series made its name on the NES.

Castlevania: for the same reasons as MegaMan, Simon Belmont seems like an obvious choice, though personally I'd much rather play as Alucard.

Final Fantasy: While a cool idea, none of the Nintendo FF characters are as memorable as the later ones. I can only the imagine the fanboy reaction if Cloud Strife were a playable character.

otakuman22 — Wed, 10 Oct 2007 02:20:44 MDT

In a bold move, Nintendo today has made a collective of fanboys and fangirls simultaneously shit their pants.

SONIC THE MUTHAFUGGIN HEDGEHOG is in SMASH!

And April's still months away!

As if the crossover with Solid Snake wasn't enough, putting the Hedgehog du-jour in the mix adds an extra spice that makes eyes bulge with fanboyish glee.

However, the one downside of this revelation is that OTHER classic video game icons have come knocking on Nintendo's door; wanting in on the video game smack down.

The only requirements are that the characters must be Japanese in origin and have a notable history.

So while Snake and Sonic represent Konami and Sega respectively, other company mascots include:

Pac-Man, representing Namco Bandai and wanting more crossover time outside of Mario Kart Arcade.

Mega Man, representing Capcom and being the first original, non-arcade based Capcom game to appear on the NES.

BomberMan, representing Hudson who has been working with Nintendo for some time now, and assisting in several games. Not to mention that Wario Vs. BomberMan fiasco from a decade ago (at least)

Cloud Strife, representing Square-Enix. While Square left Nintendo years ago, Cloud's not here to make friends but to punish Nintendo for restricting creative freedom in their Nintendo console releases.

Ryu Hayabusa, representing Tecmo. Since the DOA girls are out partying, drinking booze, and posing for photo shoots, ninja supreme Ryu Hayabusa is ready to get out and brawl as Tecmo's rep. His bad ass-ery is matched only by Solid Snake and Samus Aran.

Simon Belmont, representing Konami and who is not satisfied that Solid Snake beat him out to be Konami's rep.

Prince of All Cosmos, representing Namco. While probably not seasoned enough to be a main character, he could easily be an Assist Trophy who rolls onto the stage with a giant ass Katamari and picks up all the players EXCEPT YOU.

Bub and Bob, representing Taito. You know, the two dinosaurs from Bubble Bobble?

Lolo, representing HAL. You remember Lolo from the Adventures of Lolo, right? I mean he and Lala even show up in the Kirby anime!

God, representing Christianity. Because He knows that He'd want a piece of this action. With Jesus Christ as his assist.

In short, it's looking like Super Smash Bros. Brawl could do for video game mascots and characters what Who Framed Roger Rabbit did for cartoon characters. (Read: Melting Pot)

So come all ye weary gaming mascots...

...LET'S GET IT ON!

Torusan — Wed, 10 Oct 2007 02:03:50 MDT

REMEMBER: Only characters that have made appearances on a Nintendo hardware system are eligible to join the brawl! So no Master Chief, unless Bungie is secretly planning to release Halo DS after all! :p

Also, Cloud did appear in KH:CoM so I suppose he is eligible (though I'd rather see someone else from SE as its highly unlikely they would include more than one character from the same third-party publisher). Maybe Sakurai is going to have to take back those words of only having three or fourth third-party characters to please some more people ;)

Well guys, I've got some good news and I've got some bad news.

The bad news: Brawl has been delayed in Japan, and is officially TBA now in America, meaning it could be months until it comes out here, and at least several years until it comes out in Australia.

But the good news: I just saved a bunch of money on my car insurance by switching to Geico.

Holy shit. I love Sonic. He's my favourite game character with Master Chief and Mario both as second.

When I saw his Smash Move is Super Sonic.. Well. Now it looks like the Wii I sold 2 months ago was a bad mistake and I gotta buy a new one now.

@damon53: M&S Olympics is being developed by Sega, not Nintendo/HAL/Sora or whatever mysterious super mega awesome dev team is working on it that he isn't allowed to talk about, but who recently created a very high profile game prior to working on this project. (They have over 10k matches of smash recorded on their studio gamecube.)

I guess if they delay this for the US as well it means they are keener on pushing Mario and Sonic at the Olympics than Smash. They will be able to get more Wii supply in January but will still disappoint those who wanted to play Smash at Christmas.

Now that my composure has slightly returned and I've cleaned up all that sperm, I've gotta say...I'm really surprised they announced this. I figured they'd at least wait until Mario & Sonic is out, so as not to risk cannibalizing that game's sales.

still! SOOOOO awesome! Now if we can just get Mega Man and Simon Belmont in, we'll be talking about one of the greatest games ever.

@TheIrishNinja: Thanks lol. I actually keep Kotaku in PIP and refresh every few min. My TV acts as my monitor 99+% of the time.
@Sabre_Justice: The no items thing is to reduce random occurances of explosions, the specific stages thing is to keep certain exploits from being used, most notably Fox on Hyrule where he can get more damage on the opponent and run indefinately to cause the time limit to expire and gain a cheap win. I do agree with you to a point, it's fun without rules too. It's just that the rules in place are there to make for a playing field where it's solely based upon skill and nothing else.

Blind_Evil — Wed, 10 Oct 2007 00:45:21 MDT

@Sabre_Justice: Just my two cents on SSB Tournaments~

The nature of Smash Brothers is chaos, to take that away is a perversion of what the game is meant to be. Might as well play Virtua Fighter.

That's like if they made Team Fortress 2 a bland FPS.

Ah, whatever... it'll give me more time to finish playing Zelda: PH, Phoenix W., and Metroid, but then again it's not during winter break, which mean that I'll have to splurge it in between classes. Sonic + Online Co-Op is a nice touch. Now just add in Mega Man to the mix and you've got the perfect array of characters...

Oh, and as others here pointed out, I'll now have to splurge between this and MGS4/MGO as well, which means bringing both consoles to college. See what a pushed back release date does to people, Nintendo? Do you see? Do you see?!

So, being a huge sega fanboy back when it was in its prime, I'd have to say the fact that I didnt just shoot a load is probably because I had just moments before after watching the nude scene in "Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang".

But in all reality, as much as I will have fun with this aspect, what it really means is that as soon as tier lists are created, we will know once, and for all, just who would win in the fanboys wet-dream of duels.

Sabre_Justice: Okay, no more long name. — Wed, 10 Oct 2007 00:39:50 MDT

@Anemone: I don't blame, ya, it just seems annoying that 'hardcore' players demand a bland playing field with no items, with some excuse like 'it doesn't test your skills'. Honestly, wouldn't it take skills to be able to adapt to exotic stages and use items effectively?

I never even got to play SSBM though, so I shouldn't really be ranting about this. But hey, this is the Internet. I'm sure I'm not the first to rant about a game I haven't even played.

I've been steadily getting angrier at Sonic ever since the Genesis days so I'm glad they put him in here just so I can beat his lame 3d ass into the ground with Link, Mario, and Snake --- characters who made the jump to 3d with style, not shame.

Considering that's about the same time frame as the release for MGS4 - that's a big F*** You to Kojima, who you know... has actually brought in a new consumer demographic to the SSB lineup by adding Snake alone (I'm one of those). People are buying the game for Snake alone.

Nintendo MUST know that Brawl missing Christmas is an IDIOTIC business move. I can't see them thinking it's smart, especially with what Kojima said. The game should hit at the holidays, not at the end of January.

For that reason, I'm holding out hope that we'll find out in an hour that the game's getting its holiday release here, but slipping in Japan for some other reason.

That being said, I'm glad they finally confirmed (Super) Sonic for the game...but why'd they have to announce the delay at the same time? Please please PLEASE let this be a Japan-only delay. I'm going to cry if I don't get to Smash in some form before Christmas.

@DaveKap: If we count movies, seeing George Lucas wearing a "Han shot first" shirt. As for games, you got me there.

Bleh, not too thrilled by Sonic. What kinda movelist is he gonna have? Would rather have seen Katamari Prince or Megaman to be honest.

Ok, It's mostly off topic, but I'm curious. The blog that is linked to from this topic has a post at the very bottom that mentions both Gackt and Folksoul(lore). Is that a fan mod, coincidence, or is Gackt actually involved in Folksoul in some way?

Sonic in SSBB is the biggest fanservice move I've ever seen made in the history of videogames.

Threadjack: Everyone tell me the last fanservice they've seen that was as large as this (not ssbb related).

The release of their big 3 (Metroid, Mario, Smash) for 2007 was one of Nintendo's major selling points at E3 (and the fitness pad). Maybe we'll all still be playing Mario too much to notice a SSBB delay.

Nintendo, i love you... So much... Co-Op single player online, Japan and possibly america getting a delay when europe hasn't been given one yet so it makes no difference to us, meaning possibly a worldwide release date! Putting my childooh nintendo fanboyness to great joy with finally having a Sonic Vs. Mario fight at last! (Outside of the olympics)

And the best part is that watching the comments go crazy is going to be enough entertainment for the next hour until portal becomes unlocked!

Now i don't even mind if Felix from Golden Sun never becomes a character.

Please say this is a horrible joke. Sonic is great, but any word possible delayed Smash makes me feel ill. I was led to believe that it was a June release when Wii first came out. I was able to cope with a 1/2 year "delay"(things with only EB dates can't really be delayed I guess), but patience isn't where I focused my stat point asignment.

@Indy_aka_Rex: Probably bad for the US too. Although Sonic is awesome news.

So we actually get to fight Sonic and Mario without waving our arms up and down with the wiimote, looking like idiots, and getting no satisfaction in what can't even really be called a "fight"! I'm excited. Not because this is really a GOOD thing, just because it's a BETTER thing. Than comparing the jump distances of the two characters.
Woo.

At least we get to see the epic rivalry between the two. This will definitely increase Brawl sales. And please make the game released on Dec. 3rd!
