S'not the same one. Thus the 2.

*Mecha Cow* · 12-01-2007, 11:54 AM

Battlefield was the first stage to be announced...

*Dr. Doom* · 12-01-2007, 12:39 PM

Again, it's a different stage than the previous one, even if only aesthetically. Though I suppose it would make a past battlefeild wholly obsolete.

FYI, I've always kinda hated the Battlefeild layout.

*Mecha Cow* · 12-01-2007, 12:42 PM

It's the same stage, just with a different skin and background.

It's not my favorite stage either, but I guess it's a pretty decent 'basic' level.

Peanut · 12-01-2007, 12:49 PM

A pallet swap doesn't make it different, Doom.

*Dr. Doom* · 12-01-2007, 01:17 PM

As I said, it's a cosmetic difference. Going on about this any further is just arguing logistics, which I have no particular interest in doing, so let's just leave it at that.

*Cure* · 12-03-2007, 09:15 AM

Real men use items. ROFL!

*Mecha Cow* · 12-03-2007, 12:15 PM

Real men don't play Peach! They play manly characters, like that dude Samus.

Peanut · 12-03-2007, 12:29 PM

Shouldn't tomorrow have been the day we'd be all be playing this game online together? I weep over that fact.

The Shelf · 12-03-2007, 12:54 PM

I thought the reason the game got delayed was because they were adding online play... So, we would all be playing it, but I don't think we would have been playing online. I could be wrong, though, I'm just going off memory.

Peanut · 12-03-2007, 01:07 PM

There was no specific reason for the delay.

Either way, we'd at least all be playing it tomorrow.

**ThirdMarioBro** · 12-03-2007, 02:20 PM

The reason probably had to do with the fact that--though they tried--Nintendo couldn't fight the instinct to delay a first party game to another place on the fiscal calender because it was coming out a couple weeks off Galaxy. Its like a knee-jerk reaction to them. Delay, delay, delay.

I just hope we really got some new content out of it.

*Cure* · 12-03-2007, 03:48 PM

We'll never know what the delay was for, though. We can guess forever but I doubt they'll state a reason.

The Shelf · 12-03-2007, 04:24 PM

Okay, let me put it this way then. For the longest time the dudes in charge said Brawl would not have online play. Now it does. I don't know when it was announced, and I don't know exactly when the delay was announced, but I imagine the announcements were pretty close to each other. Being a programmer myself and having a fairly good idea of how much time it takes to develop smooth, reliable online multiplayer, the length of the delay and the fact that online play wasn't originally supposed to be in the game leads me to believe that online play is the major reason for the delay (though there may have been a few other minor reasons as well).

Not that it's very important, though. I'm just saying...

Peanut · 12-03-2007, 04:27 PM

But online play WAS originally supposed to be in the game. It was stated at the very beginning, then Sakurai said "it would be hard" to make it run smoothly, but they were still working on it, and then the delay came, and then it was announced officially sometime afterwards.

But still, it doesn't matter. My point was we could have been playing it in a single day, as opposed to having to continue to wait.

*Deathknight* · 12-03-2007, 11:44 PM

Actually it was announced before the delay.

Peanut · 12-04-2007, 12:01 AM

ORLY!?! Well then, I stand corrected.

**ThirdMarioBro** · 12-04-2007, 01:37 AM

Returning Pokemon? Why not just make an update about "Returning Food"? That would be almost as boring as this.

*Mecha Cow* · 12-04-2007, 10:43 AM

Yikes, those are some nasty models. Looks like they just reused the ones from Melee, which in turn were reused from the N64 Stadium games.

Peanut · 12-04-2007, 01:01 PM

HAHA! Those are seriously high-end 64 models. Hilarious! Who wants to place bet on how much further he'll be able to stretch these updates?
