Is that underwater, by the way? It kind of looks like it...but Snake and the characters don't look like they're underwater (only the stage, itself).

I'm pretty sure Snake is on the ladder of a helicopter for his final smash... It doe look like it's underwater though.
 
Re: the wal-mart deal... it was indeed an error, as I got a cancellation e-mail not too long ago.
 
I have to disappear from the internet :( I don't want spoilers for the hidden characters that haven't been announced.
 
i think come end of the month, this should be labeled the ssbb news thread, and someone making a new thread called 'ssbb gameplay thread' (after valentine's day) where we talk spoiler free (at least to start) about our play, tips, reactions, battling against each other and leagues.

and something i thought about last night, perhaps having a irc channel on macrumors or something.
 
on the irc front, i thought about using the macrumors channel (irc.krono.net). i think the channel name should be #ssbb or something. we'll talk to arn about it or something. good idea?
 
Epic update today. The Challenges screen sounds like a great idea. :)

I'm liking that. I would love it even more if it was a system-wide feature for all games you play, like the achievement system on 360 but presented in a different way.
 
My brother asher just thought of an awesome unlockable character...

Bomberman!

How cool would that be? :D

I think Mr. Praxis asked Hudson and they said he's not in it.

Some dev studio needs to come along and make a kind of an Smash Bros update or mini sequel dedicated to the characters who didn't quite make it. Smash Bros B-Stars (oh dear).
 
okay, nintendo did it. guess what that means. i'm ignoring the game until further notice. it's vaporware to me. hope you guys implement my ideas of the irc channel and such and get a group set up.

see you on march 31st (which i believe is when the game will actually come out, i have spring training to gear up for).
 
IGN reports too

Breaking: Smash Bros. Delayed
The game sees a month delay. Click here for the full story.

January 14, 2008 - Fans waiting for Nintendo's anticipated 3D fighter sequel will have to wait a little bit longer. The game has been delayed from its February release date to March 9, according to a posting on the official Smash Bros. site.

"Due to delays in the completion of Super Smash Bros. Brawl, we've had to change the release date of the game to Sunday, March 9th," confirmed the game's director, Sakurai-san. "I deeply apologize to the people who have looked forward to playing the game for so long and ask that you hold on just a little longer. Thank you for your patience."

In addition to the American delay, the official Smash Bros. site also announced a push-back of one week for the Japanese edition of the game. "Dairantou Smash Bros. X," as it's to be called in Japan, was scheduled for release in that territory next Thursday, January 24. With the delay, though, its new Japanese date has become January 31 – not as significant a setback for fans in Japan, but still frustrating all the same.


I seriously do not understand why a game in this day and age can be released in one territory, but requires an extra two months to reach USA and a further two months or more to reach Europe...

Sony & Microsoft, alongside other developers can bring out games within a week apart in different regions.

Localization issues are BS excuses as like has been said many times before, that happens on an ongoing basis through development, and not just somthing thrown in at the end.

What's more irritating me - is the fact that I'd love to import this - but the Wii is an incredible pain in the ar*e when in comes to playing legitimate import titles on a modded console. If it has a software update on the disc it could brick the console, even if it doesn't there stands a good chance it wont work (take battalion wars 2 for example)...

Nintendo infuriate me at times.
