*rolls eyes* I guess the puff's alright but.... well, no comment. Anyway, the one character I would like to see most in this game would definitely be midna, so hiltz gets a cookie for bringing her up. If ganon's in the game (If? am I crazy?), then he'd be better with the two swords he wields in WW. One note on the zelda characters is that Shiek uses the Light Arrows as her final smash, which I thought was pretty wierd, I mean she's never used them in an actual zelda game, has she? well, I guess zelda has...

Anyhoo, I'm still rooting for midna.
(not forgetting Rayman, of course(muhehehehehahehehe..))

I just want my Jigglypuff back.

At this point, as long as Jigglypuff's back, this game is going to be awesome, despite the delay.

@Quine: I would like to see the game so hard you can't beat it without stickers... and you'd have to sacrafic your stickers to play through an area that might require more defense then offense or a higher jump. Adding a puzzle / RPG feature.. Can't wait for this game!

@Torgen thinks AAA has lost all meaning: That "rain" is actually a sprinkler. SPOILERS!?: Distant Planet is Miyamoto's backyard.

I've seen something like that Challenges grid in another Nintendo game: Kirby's Air Ride! There were two major differences though: in that game the grid was closer to a square and you could see the objectives on all 4 sides of ones you had achieved, and not all the objectives actually gave you some type of reward.

Also, they did something kind of like that in Mario Party DS, but it showed it as a few lists rather than a grid, and the rewards were just figurine things, not anything you could do anything with.

This week was pretty darn good.

The only things left that I'd really like to see are the following:

1. Capt. Falcon & Ganondorf playable characters (Ganondorf has his own unique moves)

2. Wind Waker Link playable character

He's small, cell-shaded, and has some unique weapons like the deku leaf and giant hammer. His final smash could be the same charged up master sword spin attack used in Wind Waker.

3. Ridley as a boss

Because he's too damn cool and one of Nintendo's best villain characters.

4. Mother Brain assist trophy.

I'd prefer for it to be a boss, but I still think it would be pretty damn cool to throw down an assist trophy and have this giant thing walking around the stage blasting players with its laser eyes.

5. Midna (solo) playable character

I figure she could pretty much be like SSBM's Mewtwo. She can teleport, use shadow magic and her third arm and her final smash could be something like her twilight monster transformation.

An assist trophy would also be acceptable.

6. Metal Sonic costume change for Sonic

I know it's not going to happen. Still, it would be cool.

7. Dark Samus costume change for Samus Aran

Same reason as # 6.

8. Doctor Robotnik assist trophy
(Don't call him Eggman)

I'd love to see him appear in one of his flying machines and unleash a pack of mechanized animals on the players.

@ssjmichael: This SMG and mario kart for me :D

So, how will the campaign be though? I heard nothing about it, can it actually be fun? Most fighting game campaigns I played in the past was pretty bad. But yeah, online is the big appeal for me, I just don't got the social life situation yada going for me now that I can or do play games at home with friends, online is my only option except for going on LAN, which wont be happening over a Nintendo game any time soon, LAN events that is :P

Maybe some vent/TS/steam voice chat with people having the game can be worked out, but I shouldn't have to :(

Is it me or the Olimar Character and the Pikmin Stage just reminds us that Pikmin is simple one of the most creative games released by Nintendo?

I just don't know why they haven't made any annouce of a sequel of the frachise for the Wii, the DS or whatever.

Come on Miyamoto. Just make another Pikmin, make it online, make it bigger, make it customizable.

And make it quick.

Well, as it is friendcodes they use there wouldn't be any annoying kids, unless you like em lol But I agree, I thought it did come with voice chat myself, how can they release a game with an online component lacking something vital as voice chat support, thats crazy :(

I guess I wont bother getting it when I do pick up a Wii, I just don't play with people in person as much as I use to when I was younger, unless it is LAN or at an internet cafe. Shame Nintendo, shame!

@Irenicus-the one and only:

The game we're currently discussing now? Super smash bros is a great multiplayer experience, but fans of the series feel that playing online, particularly without voice chat support wouldn't be all that entertaining. A voice chat option should be standard on all Multiplayer games, but this is Nintendo we're talking about here....

Of course, the ability to mute annoying kids would have to be an option to, but this request is mainly to talk between friends while playing.

The sticker thing was somewhat of a surprise, and in a good way. Liking the direction they're taking for the game, and almost every week we get some sort of a announcement that surprises us. Now, Nintendo should make some ads for the game in every way possible *.*

It's a pity that the PIkmin stage, based on one commercial for Brawl I saw, will have a stationary background. Pity with that nice depth they've got going on.

Still, this was a pretty good week, and I look forward to more.

There's something strange about one of the pictures in the sticker update.

See how there seems to be a U next to the part where it says Magic Attack +13? Could the full thing be 'Unknown', as in the sticker is exclusive to an unrevealed character from the Animal Crossing series?

Pimin stage looks weird. Unlike the other stages, I can't seem to differentiate between the actual stage platform and the background. Well . . . that's using screenshots anyway. Hopefully it'll be obvious in the game. And if anything, that should give me an idea as to how this game will look in real life. I can't wait.
