SSBB Thread: IT'S OUT!!!!!!!!!! - Page 20

I just hope it doesn't get delayed again. We already have to wait over year since it's first "supposed" launch window release, but now it looks like it's getting pushed back again. January in Japan, and now the release date on the NA page has gone from December to TBD. Not a good sign.

*Mecha Cow* · 10-10-2007, 04:43 AM

Wait, it got delayed again? I'm at school so I'm not entirely up to date, was there a conference or something?

Peanut · 10-10-2007, 04:46 AM

Yeah, there was some kind of random conference where all this stuff was announced. It got delayed until January in Japan and now the December 4th release date has been removed from the NA version of Smashbros.com, Not to mention Sakurai's update about the release date. And this comment wasn't all that positive. "There’s still a little more development to be done... I’m hoping to complete it without incident."

I'd say another delay is all but completely confirmed for everyone.

*Mecha Cow* · 10-10-2007, 05:10 AM

Well, damn it. Brawl in 2009 for Europe.

**Barkworm** · 10-10-2007, 05:41 AM

Wait, WHAT? Mecha, are you being sarcastic or what's going on?

*Mecha Cow* · 10-10-2007, 08:22 AM

I'm being sarcastic, though it's likely that we will get shafted again.

*Deathknight* · 10-10-2007, 12:06 PM

I'm guessing we're probably getting Brawl in mid Febuary now since Japan is getting it at the end of January. Website has already changed release date to TBD which I assume stands for To Be Delayed.

I think it means To Be Determined, buddy.

What worries me the most about Sonic is that him being there opens up the floodgates to the Sonic series horrible cast of characters. Tails, Knuckles and Eggman I can deal with, but characters post Sonic 3 make me cringe. If they infect the damn game, I'll be super depressed. If I even HEAR Shadow's name...I don't know. People will die.

**ThirdMarioBro** · 10-10-2007, 02:14 PM

Well, fu*k. I kept saying this was going to happen all year, but by the time I finally forget about the pessimism and start to look forward to the game...they all but delay it.

If this game misses December, it will officially crimp my Holiday fun. Of course, it would make perfect sense for Nintendo to be complete douche bags and do it. I never expected them to drop two megaton bombs like Galaxy and Smash within a month of each other in the first place.

If Japan gets it in Jan, best case scenario is that we'll get it the end of the month. Of course, if it lands even later, Nintendo will push it to the start of their next fiscal year which means April at the earliest. Then Mario Kart and all of next year's goods get pushed to who-the-hell-knows-when. Good job Nintendo. Fu*k you.

I'm not too terribly worried about Sonic. Did they play that crappy theme from Sonic Adventure 2? Yeah, but all of the animations, sounds, and mannerisms were ripped from Sonic the Hedgehog 2. Apparently he's got some items in there as well. I don't think they would contaminate the game with that emo Shadow sh*t since Sakurai likes to cater to 16-bit. It would completely devalue Sonic's presence. Frankly, I don't want Tails or Knuckles either. They were cool in the old days, but the characters have since been all but ruined. Sonic by himself though? Awesomeness.

Peanut · 10-10-2007, 02:25 PM

I don't want them as playable characters, but having them in there as AT's or just regular trophies would be pretty alright.

*Mecha Cow* · 10-10-2007, 02:58 PM

Honestly, none of Sonic's dumb friends deserve to be playable characters in this game. I can live with Sonic stinking it up with his baditude, but we really don't need any more of that.

*E* Wait, are we back to 'Nintendo sucks' now? I heard there was this game called Mario Galaxy coming out soon.

Why does everyone always pull that card? Yes, we all know Galaxy is going to be likely the best installment in the entire Mario franchise, but that doesn't instantly exonerate Nintendo for spending the last 365 days promising us Mario and Smash for Christmas, then possibly reneging on their word once again.

And hell, who knows. Galaxy could get delayed too. Its not like they would sell any fewer Wii's this Christmas. They're not going to meet demand as it is.

*Mecha Cow* · 10-10-2007, 04:03 PM

Because it's a valid argument? I'd rather have Brawl and Galaxy spread out a bit rather than Nintendo blowing their load at once and leaving us in the cold for the next God-knows-how-long. The Wii sucks, but it's not because Brawl is getting released a few months later than expected.

*Dr. Doom* · 10-10-2007, 05:03 PM

Sonic looks like he'll be a lot of fun to play as. What'd be brilliant now is if they gave him a stage or two based on the original games. I'd love to have Knuckles in there, too, but I wouldn't be suprised at all if they throw in Shadow as a clone character.

Anyways, the news of a delay is definitely very upsetting, considering we're only 2 months away. I can almost taste the game at this point, to have it yanked further away is definitely a depressing thought. I guess that announcing Sonic at the same time was probably a good move on their part if the delay is true...It's the one peice of news that so many people were waiting to here, I guess I figure that softens the blow of one of the things a gamer dreads to hear about a highly anticipated game.

And I still don't see why they couldn't include the whole previous cast of characters. I know it's not looking great for Ness, but still, it just wouldn't make sense to me.

Look, if Sakurai delayed it because he has more content in mind for the last Smash, then so be it. I understand and will let it go because he's earned all the time he needs after Melee being kicked out the door in 11 months. But if Nintendo delayed a nearly finished game just to release Wii Fit (aka Stepmaster Deluxe) during the Holiday season, then I'll be mad as hell.

Peanut · 10-10-2007, 05:46 PM

Maybe they just don't want to go through creating content for all those characters that no one gives a sh*t about. Maybe they don't feel that having to go through putting Pichu into the story mode is worth all the trouble. Target mini-game, character trophy's, graphical upgrades, and whatever other character specific content they end up dropping into this one.

I mean, who hasn't been officially confirmed yet?
Cpt. Falcon
Jigglypuff
Ness
Pichu
Young Link
Ganondorf
Mewtwo
Mr. Game & Watch
Falco
Dr. Mario
Luigi
Roy
Marth
Did I miss anyone?

7 of those are clones. Young Link, Pichu, Falco, either Roy or Marth and Dr. Mario don't need to be in the game! Cpt. Falcon and Luigi are pretty much 100% sure to be in. Ness gets replaced by Lucas...big deal, as far as we know, they're pretty much the same damn character. Why do we NEED so many exact clones? We don't. The only sad losses would be Mr. Game & Watch, Jigglypuff and Mewtwo. Even though Mewtwo isn't a completely original character, a lot of his moves work differently from those characters he steals them from, and he isn't an exact clone of anyone. And all signs point to Mr. Game & Watch being in again anyways.
Other more worthy clones like Gannondorf need to be given their own move variations, and characters like Luigi who work as a half-clone need to be given their own completely original move-sets.

*Mecha Cow* · 10-10-2007, 05:47 PM

Wasn't it delayed so he could add online co-op or something? If that's the case I think it will be worth the wait.

Peanut · 10-10-2007, 05:50 PM

If it got delayed for online co-op, I hope he falls on a knife.

*Mecha Cow* · 10-10-2007, 06:21 PM

Some of us actually care about the adventure mode, commie!

I wonder if Marth will be back. The recently announced Fire Emblem DS is remake of the original NES game (Starring Marth), so perhaps that will work in his favor.
