I know, but the differences in their attacks are so minimal that I really don't see the point. It should've just been Ness and then Lucas as an alternative costume and be done with it. I'm surprised Daisy isn't an unlockable character too.

]]> <![CDATA[Dojo Dump: Enter The Spoiler Era]]> SHWHAT?! SERIOUSLY?! *cry* R.O.B? Toon Link?! WTF. Nintendo said they weren't bringing back some of the old characters because they were clones and then here we are again. They could have easily mashed The Links, Ness/Lucas, and Mario/Luigi... ALSO; I thought there was supposed to be like 50 characters.. That's 36. I will never be able to realize why they wouldn't take the above people and make them costumes... Ughh.. R.O.B. and Toon Link (Stupid Name) Especially disappoint me.... :[

]]> <![CDATA[Dojo Dump: Enter The Spoiler Era]]> The single player game actually looks really funny and good. Better storyline than any Mario or Link game, it has to be said. COME ON PEOPLE! A Pokemon teaming up with Solid Snake? GENIUS!

MasterBalls

]]> <![CDATA[Dojo Dump: Enter The Spoiler Era]]> In a largely plot free game, I really don't get how there can be spoilers, merely information that you'd otherwise have to shell out on a copy of Gamesmaster of N-Power or whatever your chosen paper medium is to learn about anyway?
Hurrah for Ness's triumphant return. I remember being the first to work out amongst my friends how Ness' seemingly underpowered Up+B move in the original game had another side to it. Oh how they yelled when I came flying back onto the stage in a blaze of lightning and headbutts to smash them...
Eh, we were like nine years old. We thought it was cool <_<

]]> <![CDATA[Dojo Dump: Enter The Spoiler Era]]> @NeoAkira: yeah,it doesn't have the same setup,that's why it's a much better fighting game,it's gameplay is very ofiginal.

Charlie303

]]> <![CDATA[Dojo Dump: Enter The Spoiler Era]]> @sumdum_guy: Its a fun and simple to play fighter thats easy for others to pick up and play with you also. Yet the game seems to have an amount of depth for those who are willing to take the time to master it.

That and knocking mario into the distance with a bat is always fun.

Witzbold

]]> <![CDATA[Dojo Dump: Enter The Spoiler Era]]> @sumdum_guy:

I would get it because it's doesn't have the same set up as most fighters (MK, SSF, etc.). It's extremely fun for single player and multi-player modes and if you enjoy Nintendo characters you'll love this game. I'd say it'll probably be one of the best games on the Wii for it's entire lifetime. But hey, you can always rent it and see if you like it before buying it.

NeoAkira

]]> <![CDATA[Dojo Dump: Enter The Spoiler Era]]> meh, more interested in other unlockables. Already saw the roster.

However, as a high-level player, the Ness/Lucas comparison interested me greatly. Simna is going to tear his hair out trying to decide whose thunder is better. Plus, I'd love to see how... certain other characters will differ from... certain others.

We're "piling on" because it's funny. Kirby is a long-time commenter here, he should have caught the No Spoiler vibe the article itself presented.

And to be the very first commenter...well, that's just whipped cream on top of the funny sundae.

Ya know I loves ya, Kirb.

Islandkiwi

]]> <![CDATA[Dojo Dump: Enter The Spoiler Era]]> Why are so many people piling on KirbyTheSlayer? It's not like other people didn't *spoil* it, and seriously, who is DUMB enough to read comments for an article with spoilers and not expect spoilers?

Oh yeah, and it's Ness.

thenino85

]]> <![CDATA[Dojo Dump: Enter The Spoiler Era]]> What exactly am I missing with SSBB? I never played any iteration of it. With exception of Mortal Kombat (1) on the Sega Genesis and the arcades, I never got into any of the fighting games. Whats so different about it? Now with the Wii, I've the chance to go back and catch up on all I missed out on with the GC (Eternal Darkness, Zelda ...). Should this be added to the list?

SumDum_Guy

]]> <![CDATA[Dojo Dump: Enter The Spoiler Era]]> Okay, since my harmless comment caused so much controversy, I'd like to explain something:

I thought the last part was a joke.
When Kotaku Editors don't want a spoiler revealed, they always puts a "Anybody who reveals a spoiler will be banned" message right at the end. There wasn't one. I assumed McWhertor was being sarcastic.

I mean, the whole "go hide in a bunker" kinda made me think it was a joke.
PS: Kotaku posted that Ness was a playable character earlier this week, on the front page.

Cable

]]> <![CDATA[Dojo Dump: Enter The Spoiler Era]]> @Toasticus:

Beating the game on max difficulty without dying with a primary character wouldn't be that hard, but I think beating it with even the crappy characters would be pretty tough.

NeoAkira

]]> <![CDATA[Dojo Dump: Enter The Spoiler Era]]> ***SPOILER*** After you beat the game with each character on max difficulty without ever dying once, a final cinematic plays where Luigi and Yoshi profess their love for each other and can subsequently be seen dryhumping in the bushes of the Yoshi's Island stage.

]]> <![CDATA[Dojo Dump: Enter The Spoiler Era]]> @Kirkpad: "If KIRBYTHESLAYER: THINKS AAA IS A GREAT TERM doesn't get banned than that's bull. Spoiled right off the bat."

I'm curious, did you click the jump for the DOJO DUMP UPDATE expecting not to see a new character? If so, as Ampillion once said: Please stop breathing my air as you seem to not be putting it to good use.

Tzero7

]]> <![CDATA[Dojo Dump: Enter The Spoiler Era]]> They even have the same Final Smash? They should have had different final smashes for any clones. At least that...

Superstar90

]]> <![CDATA[Dojo Dump: Enter The Spoiler Era]]> I think continuing the updates is excellent. A free online strategy guide including names of moves and fighting strategies.

If KIRBYTHESLAYER: THINKS AAA IS A GREAT TERM doesn't get banned than that's bull. Spoiled right off the bat.

Aflack: Likes slushies

]]> <![CDATA[Dojo Dump: Enter The Spoiler Era]]> I also LOVE Sakurai's:

"However, Smash won't come out in North America for a bit and sadly, Europe has an even longer wait until the game releases."

He just went and rubbed that shit right in. As if I wasn't already on the verge of doing a Britney Spears when I first heard about the European delay.

Random J

]]> <![CDATA[Dojo Dump: Enter The Spoiler Era]]> So Lucas is a palette swap. Wonderful. Why even put him in the damn game. They should've just had him be an alternate costume for Ness.

Random J

]]> <![CDATA[Dojo Dump: Enter The Spoiler Era]]> @Krytha: As I see it, Sakurai is building a guide for the game, like an online strategy guide. Sure, he could reveal everything all at once, but that would just spoil everything all at once and that would suck (in my opinion). Plus, it is good for building up hype for those territories where the game has not yet been released, I guess.

devmas

]]> <![CDATA[Dojo Dump: Enter The Spoiler Era]]> @Krytha: I'll disagree with you, but from a business point of view. As far as marketing the game is concerned, the Dojo has been an absolute triumph. If you look at it's traffic ratings, it has to have one of the highest (if not the highest) rankings of any individual video game site to have existed. Even at its peak, Halo 3's website didn't even come close.

When a single game's website can garner more attention than either of its parent sites (Nintendo.com and Wii.com, in this case), that means that there is a lot of (relatively) inexpensive advertising going on, building a lot of excitement. And in an age where hype is key for sales, that is a good thing indeed.

]]> <![CDATA[Dojo Dump: Enter The Spoiler Era]]> @Sinnbox:

Also a valid point. Where is my Earthbound game Nintendo?

NeoAkira

]]> <![CDATA[Dojo Dump: Enter The Spoiler Era]]> Earthbound has always had a cult following in the west, even before the first smash.

cocks

]]> <![CDATA[Dojo Dump: Enter The Spoiler Era]]> @NeoAkira: True, putting him in may have made inteest in the series peak, but I thin kthey put him in for the few earthbound fans. Why would they want interest to peak when they werent going to release any earthbound games at the time?

Sinnbox

]]> <![CDATA[Dojo Dump: Enter The Spoiler Era]]> @Nintenboy01:

No offense taken. And although I haven't played any of the earlier iterations, it does my heart good to see so much excitement about a game. I'll definitely be playing this one.

Islandkiwi

]]> <![CDATA[Dojo Dump: Enter The Spoiler Era]]> @Sinnbox:

Because earth bound had absolutely no popularity, like Fire Emblem. And so having a character from the series in a super popular game made interest about the series peak.

NeoAkira

]]> <![CDATA[Dojo Dump: Enter The Spoiler Era]]> I am so damn excited for this game. I just now got a pc card for my laptop, so i've missed out on alot of videos. Wow...I just cant wait for this! it comes out 7 days before my bday...who's buying it for me?

I'm A Gamer Type Guy!!

]]> <![CDATA[Dojo Dump: Enter The Spoiler Era]]> @Islandkiwi: Good gravy! And I'm only 23. My apologies if I offended you in any way.

Nintenboy01

]]> <![CDATA[Dojo Dump: Enter The Spoiler Era]]> @Dr Mario: How was he put in the game to promote earthbound when earthbound came out years earlier?

Sinnbox

]]> <![CDATA[Dojo Dump: Enter The Spoiler Era]]> @Masterpain22: To be honest Mario Galaxy has no real spoilers at all. Just about all the story events are pretty cliche and expected. You really play that game for the experience and fun gameplay mainly. No spoiler can really interfere with that (except maybe boss battle strategies).

Nintenboy01

]]> <![CDATA[Dojo Dump: Enter The Spoiler Era]]> @Nintenboy01:

I'm 35, and I had a Gamecube....but I didn't get SSBB. My wife played on the Gamecube way more than I did, and for her it was Animal Crossing all the way. So let's call it a missed opportunity.

Islandkiwi

]]> <![CDATA[Dojo Dump: Enter The Spoiler Era]]> @NeoAkira: Heh, probably.

Chillblain

]]> <![CDATA[Dojo Dump: Enter The Spoiler Era]]> Nowadays it has become really hard to avoid spoilers for a game, and even movies and other stuff. I really like to read magazines and look at internet sites that talk about video games, but for a while now I have decided to avoid any detailed info about a game I'm excited about.

One game I really want to play is Mario Galaxy, so I ended up avoiding all the reviews except for the scores it got, and took a look a just a few screenshots.

In a sense it is good that all this info is being provided for the people that want to see it, but for those that want to experience everything fresh and by themselves there is no other option than having some self control. So look away now, look away!

Masterpain22

]]> <![CDATA[Dojo Dump: Enter The Spoiler Era]]> Oh a little off topic, but I realized that Since SSBB uses different friends codes than the original Wii Friend's codes then shouldn't our profile have a "SSBB Friend Code" place?

NeoAkira

]]> <![CDATA[Dojo Dump: Enter The Spoiler Era]]> @Islandkiwi: If you don't mind my asking, how old are you? You musta still been quite young when Melee came out in 2001. Or it just goes to show us how poorly the GameCube sold...

Nintenboy01

]]> <![CDATA[Dojo Dump: Enter The Spoiler Era]]> I want the Dojo to end, not because I don't like it, but because I want Sakurai to get to work on his next game. CHOP CHOP BUDDY MAKE SOME GAMES

The guy created Kirby at age 22. I'm a failure :(

aaa

]]> <![CDATA[Dojo Dump: Enter The Spoiler Era]]> @Krytha: God forbid they try to do something nice for us and post updates completely of their own accord. They should have stopped being nice and giving out 100% official info straight from the creator. I hate nice things.

Chillblain

]]> <![CDATA[Dojo Dump: Enter The Spoiler Era]]> LOL @ Kirby!

Michael McWhertor

]]> <![CDATA[Dojo Dump: Enter The Spoiler Era]]> Hey, I thought it was nice how he went in-depth, told us how to unlock the character, and explained his differences from Lucas. Hopefully he'll tell how to unlock all the characters and go as in-depth as he did with Ness. Heck, he said he'd talk about hidden levels too, so maybe he'll be telling us how to unlock those too.

Chillblain

]]> <![CDATA[Dojo Dump: Enter The Spoiler Era]]> I don't know why someone would hit the jump for Dojo Dump updates and be surprised at seeing a new character revealed. I don't see anything wrong with what Kirby did. If someone doesn't want to see who the new character is then they shouldn't have gone past the main page, simple as that.

NeoAkira

]]> <![CDATA[Dojo Dump: Enter The Spoiler Era]]> Not everyone reads the comments.

Ryan Saotome

]]> <![CDATA[Dojo Dump: Enter The Spoiler Era]]> @Kirbytheslayer: Thinks AAA is a great term: The point is your post, especially being the first, contradicts the article's intention of keeping it spoiler free.

Micheal: "Click the ?????? if you want to know who the newly confirmed character is."

Kirby: "HEY EVERYBODY IT'S NESS, DURRRRR"

I don't really care, but I'm just pointing it out.

cocks

]]> <![CDATA[Dojo Dump: Enter The Spoiler Era]]> It is kind of nice that they are going to continue the daily updates on the Dojo until the U.S. release.

Someone made a video of all the final smashes and they all look pretty neat or cool (pick an overused adjective) other than Peach's (hers is kind of sad...).

Lstormy10

]]> <![CDATA[Dojo Dump: Enter The Spoiler Era]]> Did anyone else think NiGHTS might've been in it? I got that impression way back when Sakurai released the list of composers. It's kind of annoying that none of the hidden characters are third party.

Bernard McGraw

]]> <![CDATA[Dojo Dump: Enter The Spoiler Era]]> Hmm, guess it's cool that Ness made it in after all. Sakurai even described the main differences between him and Lucas for us. Now people can argue how different the clones are this time around and how they stay similar.

Saint Anima

]]> <![CDATA[Dojo Dump: Enter The Spoiler Era]]> @Kirbytheslayer: Thinks AAA is a great term:

Well, I've never played any of the other SSBB's before, it's all new to me. And I'm not personally offended because of that.

But when the story says hit the link if you want to know, what does that tell you? Tells me not to spoil it for others.

Islandkiwi

]]> <![CDATA[Dojo Dump: Enter The Spoiler Era]]> I think future posts showing unlockable characters here shouldn't do the ??? thingy, cuz theres no way anyone who checks out video game sites will be able to not find out the secret characters by march 9th, anyway.

]]> <![CDATA[Dojo Dump: Enter The Spoiler Era]]> @Kirbytheslayer: Thinks AAA is a great term:
As a matter of fact that is a pretty big surprise seeing as Lucas was supposed to be the Ness replacement. Not many people thought he would return seeing as he was only in the game in the first place to promote Earthbound back in the day.
Dojo won't end. In fact I am glad it won't because it is going to tell you how to unlock the secret characters. I don't know about you, but I want all characters unlocked as soon as possible once I get it so I can start getting good for tournaments and such.

Dr Mario

]]> <![CDATA[Dojo Dump: Enter The Spoiler Era]]> @Islandkiwi: Cmon' it's Ness.
Friggin' Ness. He's been a Staple Character of the series. It's like predicting that Mario is going to be a playable Character.

Who's stunned?
