Iwata Asks
There’s a webpage nestled within Nintendo’s official site where Mr Iwata, President of Nintendo Co. Ltd., interviews other Nintendo employees. This corner of the website is known as "Iwata Asks".
For some reason, I, Masahiro Sakurai, was invited to one of these interviews. Wha--? But I’m not a Nintendo employee! I-is this OK? Are we seriously doing this? Oh, is that so? All right, well, if you insist! I imagine this interview should give you a tiny glimpse behind the curtains to see what creating Super Smash Bros. Brawl has been like. Go on and click the link below to check it out! http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/images/common/arrow.gifWii.com – Iwata Asks: Super Smash Bros. Brawl |
So I stumbled across the starting roster for the game. *spoilers, obviously*
Disc art Screenshot of the starting roster Obligatory short, blurry video of roster |
cant wait to check out link's new moves and of course how sonic plays
|
Well, Link plays just like he does in Melee but he can charge up his up B (the one where he spins around with his sword)
Sonic is apparantly very very fast and good at mid-air attacks. |
Mushroomy Kingdom
Ah, the Mushroom Kingdom. Most Smash players will recognise this place from previous games in the series, where the world was represented in a pixel-art style reminiscent of the original Super Mario Bros.
But why the "y" on the end of "Mushroom"? What’s the difference? http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/stage...23_080123a.jpg Oh, so that’s why! This time around, we’ve designed a stage that recreates the layout of World 1-1 in Super Mario Bros. – but with rich backgrounds added to the mix. http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/stage...23_080123b.jpg The stage scrolls forward at a leisurely pace. http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/stage...23_080123c.jpg Pieces of familiar scenery scroll by. The kingdom you once knew has turned to ruins over the long years, and it is now your battlefield. You’ll get to enjoy a wide range of familiar structures. Also, since the stage slowly scrolls sideways, battles here will require you to come up with a very different strategy for winning. Oh, and when you select this stage, it will occasionally load an alternate underground stage! http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/stage...23_080123d.jpg This is the famous World 1-2. This one’s also quite charming. |
The 2nd update today is music for the above stage. The song is called Super Mario Bros.: Ground Theme

I could have heard wrong, but that's what I heard. Again, I'm skeptical of anything and everything not on Dojo because goddammit, the Smash fanbase keeps making shit up and Photoshopping shit and etc. Even with the video, that could very definitely be fake. |
And if you're wondering why I think it's bullshit--not counting the fact that it looks like Bigfoot footage--is this: look at the roster pictures. They're identical to the pictures on Dojo. :| Like they were just cut and paste into tiny squares.
|
I heard queensaki (the person that uploaded the video to YouTube) was the creator of some incredibly popular Smash Bros tournement in Japan and got the game a few days early. I don't know why that would entitle him/her to an early disc though.
I don't understand why SB fans fake stuff but I'm inclined to blame GameFAQS. |
Test Battle: Tokyo vs. Kyoto
While it’s true you can battle over Wi-Fi, your connection environment and the distance between players can cause great changes in speed. That fact would probably make you a little uneasy.
So, we conducted an online battle between Nintendo’s headquarters in Kyoto and the development team in Tokyo. The distance between Kyoto and Tokyo is about 500km, or 310 miles. Here’s the video of that match. |
Yes, that was the only update today :/
but Japane got a different match to watch: |
Masterpieces
Well, what do we have here...?
http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/gamem...23_080125a.jpg Yes, that’s Super Mario Bros. Several memorable characters compete for brawl supremacy – that’s Super Smash Bros. Brawl in a nutshell. But what about the past fights for each of those characters? What were they like? It may sound impossible, but you can experience those battles in Brawl as well! That’s right, for the first time ever, you can play trial versions of these games by the miracle of Virtual Console! That’s what Masterpieces is! Here you can relive the greatest battles of the biggest star characters through demo versions of their games. Here are some of the titles you can expect to see available in Brawl. Crazy, isn’t it?! http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/gamem...23_080125b.jpg http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/image...world_w_14.gifIce Climber (1986, NES) http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/gamem...23_080125c.jpg http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/image...world_w_10.gifSuper Mario Bros. (1987, NES) http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/gamem...23_080125d.jpg http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/image...world_w_09.gifThe Legend of Zelda (1987, NES) http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/gamem...23_080125e.jpg http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/image...world_w_18.gif Kid Icarus (1987, NES) http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/gamem...23_080125f.jpg http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/image...world_w_04.gif Kirby’s Adventure (1993, NES) http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/gamem...23_080125h.jpg http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/image...world_w_06.gif Super Metroid (1994,Super NES) http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/gamem...23_080125j.jpg http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/image...world_w_03.gif Lylat Wars (1997, Nintendo 64) Whoaaa. Makes my head spin just seeing all those. You won’t need to be connected to Nintendo WFC to play these games. Just remember, there are some NES classics in there as demos, so expect some of the time limits on those games to be so short that all you can do is laugh at how hard they are. http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/gamem...23_080125k.jpg I’m almost...at the top! http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/gamem...23_080125l.jpg Ahaha! Oh man, out of time already?! That’s what a good demo is all about. It gives you just enough to let you appreciate the game. Plus it’s a lot of fun to see just how far you can go before the little time that you have runs out. If you take a liking to one of the trial versions, you can always buy the full game through the Shop Channel! You might even find a couple of titles that divert your attention from Brawl for a while. http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/gamem...23_080125m.jpg Some titles come with save data. But hmm, it seems there are still titles hiding in the Masterpieces section. Titles?! What games don’t I know about?! That discovery is part of the fun, isn’t it? Masterpieces are called masterpieces for a good reason, and each of the well-loved characters here come from a past that is worthy of that title. To end, I’d like to take this opportunity to send my thanks to all the game creators and affiliated parties who helped in making this possible. |
This mode is useless to me because I already have each of those games in one form or another.
The Japanese version wil also get Fire emblem and Mother 2. I don't think we will. http://www.smashbros.com/jp/gamemode...23_080125g.jpg Fire Emblem http://www.smashbros.com/jp/gamemode...23_080125i.jpg Mother 2 |
Fire Emblem was pretty cool.
Mother 2 was -amazing-, however. I remember buying that huge box with the game, strategy guide, and the air fresheners. Good times. :cool: |
Some more videos for you.

lol I wish it really was real. :'(
Robocop would be bad ass. |
And Jesus
|
Robocop > Jesus
|
My real question is...WHERE IS SANTA CLAUSE!?!?
|
Clearly, the picture is only the starting roster. Santa would be unlockable
|
How Nintendo got God is beyond me. I thought he only worked for the WWE.

Vault
The top menu contains six different modes, but I’ve decided to introduce the finer points of each mode one by one.
http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/gamem...24_080128a.jpg Here’s the top menu. Let’s do a rough overview of the mode known as the Vault. The Vault is where items you’ve collected or created in Brawl are stored. Objects you’ve received as rewards or have downloaded usually appear here. http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/gamem...24_080128b.jpg This is the Vault menu! Trophies & Stickers http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/gamem...24_080128c.jpg ●Trophy Gallery http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/gamem...24_080128d.jpg Browse your collection of trophies here. ●Trophy Hoard http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/gamem...24_080128e.jpg Line up your trophies and take photos of them. ●Sticker Album http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/gamem...24_080128f.jpg View all of your stickers laid out neatly in an album. ●Sticker Center http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/gamem...24_080128g.jpg Enjoy arranging your stickers. ●Coin Launcher http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/gamem...24_080128h.jpg Fire off volleys of coins to snag new trophies and stickers! Stage Builder You can create all sorts of stages here. http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/gamem...24_080128j.jpg Build stages like this one! http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/gamem...24_080128k.jpg And this one! http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/gamem...24_080128l.jpg If you connect to Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection, you might find something new waiting for you here. Album Check out your best snapshots here. http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/gamem...24_080128n.jpg All the shots you take can be found in the Album! http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/gamem...24_080128o.jpg It looks like you might have a new snapshot waiting as well. Challenges Once you’ve received a reward for completing a challenge, check here to see what you need to do to complete other challenges. Replays Save up to 3 minutes of game play per replay. Of course, you can record your brawls... http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/gamem...24_080128r.jpg And your Home-Run Contests! http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/gamem...24_080128s.jpg And your runs in Target Smash!! http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/gamem...24_080128t.jpg And your exploits in Multi-Man Brawl! The power to record and send out brawl replays is in your hands. You can even zoom in for a close-up on individual characters while viewing replays. Masterpieces Savour the "authentic" battles past for many famous characters through Virtual Console trial versions! Chronicle This bonus feature lets you peruse Nintendo’s library of past titles. Missing titles in your Chronicle will gradually fill in as you obtain stickers and other things related to those games. (However, there are some titles that will not be displayed until the very end.) Mm hmm... ...This is just nuts. How on earth did we squeeze all these modes in here? I’ve clearly gone overboard with Brawl. But still, it’s not like I want everyone to play through every single portion of the game. I think I’d rather you played small portions of the areas you find interesting a little at a time. Whether you choose to go solo or play with friends, you’re covered, because Brawl is about playing the way you want to play. |
I think this will be last week of posting updates. The game comes out in Japan this week and I'm sure thats when spoilers will be everywhere, so I'll probably disappear until the game reaches the UK.
|
Oh my fucking god....
this game is like a fucking god ffs fuck the uk... always getting delays |
And the Yanks still got another month to go :'(
|
:mad:
|
....I hate the Japanese almost as much as I hate John Cena.

First Songs in My Music
In Brawl there are many ways to add music to your collection, from picking up CDs to unlocking secret songs. However, the number of tracks you can access from the first time you boot up is also quite impressive!
Therefore, I thought I’d go ahead and post a list of songs available from day one. http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/images/common/arrow.gifFirst Songs in My Music Look at all those songs. Look at those big names... Just think, that big list of songs is going to do nothing but grow as you pick up CDs and unlock additional melodies. Man, having all this great music in Brawl is such an honour! |
|
Maybe you should just post links to each screenshot instead of the actual screenshots. That way people wont have to avoid them.
|
I might just make a new thread, at this rate. I have fucking YouTubes and shit.
|
Speaking of which,

If you're talking about that temporary Wal-Mart glitch, then no, you're not
