You know what I hope they put in the music from the Omega Ridley fight from Metroid Prime Corruption, that track got me so amped up while playing to it. What selections would you guys want?

Also, should we have a separate topic on what all our wi-fi codes are in SSBB and compile them onto the first post?

I read in an interview with Retro Studios that they had never talked to Sakurai about Metroid Prime 3. Judging by how it's not even out in Japan, I'm highly doubting any Prime 3 content, let alone Prime 2. I'm just happy that we got the Prime title and Meta Ridley's theme. All I can hope for now is the a Phendrana Drifts tune (either one will do), and maybe Planet Tallon IV and Lower Norfair/Magmoor Caverns. All of those except for the last are doubtful though, IMO.


Damn! Now if Samus sucks, people will be using her Zero Suit form all the time (see:Zelda/Sheik). Call me a Metroid purist, but that just screams wrong to me!


What I thought was missing? METROID. Where the fuck is Dark Samus or Ridley? StarFox getting 3 clones, but Metroid getting nothing is just bullshit. Those were honestly the only characters I was really hoping for.

Prime 2 was the dark horse of the Prime subseries, and Metroid, let alone Prime didn't sit too well in Japan anyway, from what I've heard. In my eyes, Dark Samus never really stood much of a chance. Ridley had more going for him, but ultimately wound up as a boss for whatever reason (Too big? Probably not, judging from Melee's intro. Too awkward? ROB says hi!). My guess is Metroid's unpopularity in Japan, or Sakurai's personal dislike of the series. Maybe he felt that giving it 3 stages (though Norfair is a lot like Brinstar 2.0 from what I've seen, and they're both in) was adequate representation, as well as another form of Samus.

NESgamer, if that girl dog is Krystal then man, im glad they chose Wolf over Krystal. She's fugly!!!

The vixen is indeed Krystal. It seems that the taunt was all she needed a VA for after all.

That makes it even more disappointing. I think Sakurai should have made a more objective decision over the roster. His and Japan's wants aren't the only ones that should be listened to. :/



Edit:

I hope Sakurai's team considers downloadable content. :)
 

It's probably from a special event mission. I remember one in Melee where you had to fight Falco and Fox (both invisible) and Slippy/Peppy both showed up in the same way.

I hope Sakurai's team considers downloadable content. :)

Somehow, I doubt that'd happen (Nintendo hasn't been big with downloadables in the past, sans things like Virtual Console which are a whole different matter), though it'd be pretty neat if it did.
 
Well, we honestly don't know how popular Ridley was in Japan outside of the journal entry tally and the one japanese website that had a whole bunch of characters that didn't make it (Black Shadow, Isaac, K.Rool, etc). In North America, Ridley was up there with Sonic (Sonic was admittedly more popular, but IIRC they tied in a mod-sponsored NSider poll). Mega Man was only popular after Sonic was confirmed and considered a shoo-in for whatever reason; he seemed more like a fad to me. Geno would've been a good WTF character for most gamers, and his cult following would've been pleased too.

I'm actually shocked we didn't get like a Dragon Quest or something Japan 3rd party. Snake is pretty big in both NA and JPN, wheras I always thought Sonic had a more North American audience (if any). And I never thought Star Fox was too popular anywhere nowadays. Really, I don't understand a lot of Sakurai's thinking on the roster.

I hope Sakurai's team considers downloadable content. :)

It's already confirmed ... Snapshots and Custom Stages :P

Landmasters for the win?
 
Has any wii game gotten DLC? Guitar hero 3 is gonna get it sometimes never, but I don't think it would be possible to add something totally not in the game at all, unless its like demos or something.

Not to mention the characters or whatever would have to be stored in the Wii's internal memory, which is a whopping 512 MB (minus 120 or whatever blocks already, since you need the Brawl save on the console to play with the rest of your stuff). IMO it's pretty awesome that we can make and download custom stages, and we should be happy about that.
 
Nintendo has always dropped the ball when it came to online things like downloadable content, don't expect that to change any time soon.
 
There won't be downloadable characters. Considering without Sakurai we would have merely gotten Melee with online, downloadable new characters is out of the question. Sakurai is going to want to move on.

For Zero Suit Samus on WiiMote, it's the minus button. Z on Nunchuk + WiiMote.
 
Here is a pic of Sonic Slashing Taboo:

EDIT:

Taboo after being hit by Sonic:

fuck

I wish you people would spoiler sse stuff. Especially things that look like they're late game sse stuff :(
 
downloadable content......


we were talking about how there could be a 45 character roster in our dreams... but sakurai could have given us things he knew we didnt like. i think its very likely that he would do that to suprise us. maybe there will be some secret in the game to unlock him, like a certain button combination, etc.. that sakurai would program in just to hold off the roster untill the english release.


if this happens and im called a prophet i will have a ____gasm
 
Luigi's Final Smash is umm...Interesting to say the least. Very psychedelic and moody, almost like he was on drugs or something and had an intense dancing fever, LOL.
 
Yeah. It made the other characters move in slow-mo and you move at normal pace... at least thats what it seemed like in the videos
