Today's video (and the difference between the JP and US one) is neat.

I wonder if the Mario-wins-Sonic-loses thing was planned. It's almost too perfect.

[ESK]

Could be, could be. I went to a Sega press event for Mario & Sonic and the hedgehog won the tug of war tournament

I am almost entirely unaware of the characters 'leaked'. At least, I would be if Scott from VGCats hadn't spoilt it on his MAIN PAGE. The cock. Anyway, I only know a couple of returning characters, I am entirely unaware of anything else or any details or even if it's accurate. And I don't want to know.

I have looked at all the trailers on Wii.com and have seen no new characters there, not even sure if I saw Sheik for that matter. So I'm not sure where this so-called 'leak' comes from.

Today's update was good if only just to see how gloriously beautiful the Lylat Cruise stage is. I know I'm going to LOVE that stage. Also, the Japanese video makes me a little glad that some characters will have English voices... Ike sounds weird in Japan. @.@

Although, judging from the videos, Pit sounds utterly cute as heck in Japan. Don't believe me? Here you go.
YADADADADA.

[ESK]

This is one of the problems the internet causes. The leak supposedly comes from someone who's completed the Japanese version, so has all the characters. We the West are in danger of finding out long before we even have the game. I mean, us Brits don't even have a release date yet!

[avroillusion]

Pit does sound really adorable.

Anyway, the Japanese Dojo site has a different video than what all the other versions of the Dojo got. (Snake vs Mario vs Kirby vs Ike) I wonder why that is?

[ESK]

It was probably a different test match. Nintendo probably did different test matches for different territories, simulating matches that were a little more 'local'. A test between the U.S. and Canada, UK and France, North Japan and South Japan is going to sell the game's online capabilities better than a match between Japan and the U.S

But the website claims that they were made in Japan, not in the USA. (Kioto-Tokio)

I suppose they did the matches in the same place, they presumably changed it because Ike will have a different voice. They definitely used the US version for the other video because Sonic is speaking English.

Plus maybe they thought us Westerners would get more of a kick out of the Lylat Cruise stage. Not wrong there, to be fair. XP

Nintendo changed the video shortly after they realized what they'd let slip. You can still see the leaky version on YouTube. That's the only leak that's pretty much undeniably legit. The others could (and I'm going to emphasize "could") have been faked.

[D~N]

My god, when does it end?!?!!?! It's almost getting to a point where there's soo much great stuff in this game that I think I might have a heart attack upon opening it! ._.

This 'masterpieces' mode will, of course, become a great moneymaker for Nintendo. So sneaky and clever, yet almost in an evil way. What else could they possibly squeeze into this game?! The disk has got to run out of space eventually, right...?

[Xkeeper]

They could've just started letting people try xx-minute demos of games on the VC alread, but they didn't do that.

I see nothing amazing about "Masterpieces" that they couldn't have already done, and done over a year ago to boot.

[SnowsilverKat]

I think the demos are built into the game disc though, not downloaded from VC.

I'm guessing too many demos could in theory eat up a lot of bandwidth, or something.

[Vic Vicious]

It seems like they're getting demos for an SNES Fire Emblem and Earthbound in Japan, too. Not geting Fire Emblem, it's kinda to be expected, but Earthbound does strike me as odd, as it's already translated. Maybe they're not planning on selling it on the Virtual Console around here...


(after a quick look in wiki, the Fire Emblem game, it's Monshō no Nazo, the remake of the first Fire Emblem)

Highly doubtful. Ever seen a ROM? Even SMB3 is only 512KB, by no means huge (only 3 seconds of downloading on a decent connection). Even Super Metroid isn't that big.


And yes, the demos are built into SSBB. But the question remains; why don't they just offer
- A orderable disk with many demos on it
- VC demo downloads
...?

Either of these would accomplish the same damn thing better. Hell, why not do both?

[CID Farwin]

Oh dear...

@.@

...I must play this game!!!

I haven't been so sure I was going to buy a game as soon as possible since Mario Galaxy came out.

[Veteran]

Now that's the update where I can finally start and get excited about this game! Excellent addition.

[Toan]

I see Captain Falcon.

I can die happy.

[Chaltab]

Holy mother of omelettes, this game is going to have the best soundtrack in the history of soundtracks!

Huzzah for the Dark World Theme!

[ESK]

The net's gone nuts today with spoilers! THIS IS WHY WE NEED WORLDWIDE RELEASE DATES!

[JRPomazon]

Agreed.

Also, it seems that Lucario is going to replace Mewtwo. Poor Mewtwo.

Also: Ness

[Chaltab]

Unless there's a massive hoax going on..

Toon Link, ROB, Ganondorf, Falco, Game and Watch, Marth, and Luigi

are all confirmed.

Where'd you hear of/see this one? I've seen all the others from the intro and whatnot since screenshots are floating about. (SSE is so very epic, I can't wait!)

Don't click this is you don't want to see my thoughts on SSE.

I can't believe what happened to Ness! So selfless...and Marth, Ike and MK teaming up is just awesome! Samus teaming up with Pikachu is a little bizarre. but not more so then her hanging out with the Ectecoons and other such fuzzy critters.

Final roster, guys. Game launches in Japan at midnight tonight. So much for secrets now =P

[D~N]

you're pic can be further updated to include

Wolf from starfox

I've seen it somewhere, and it evens out the rectangle. Also...

wtf Rob = playable? what an epic waste.

[ESK]

Why? Why did I click? I could see it said Spoiler!

[Iron Knuckle]

The game is hardly even out yet, and everything is already spoiled. Also the list looks complete with the addition of D~N chara as all franchise related characters get perfectly aligned-columnwise by the addition of that character to the roster.

Also, Ridley will be a boss, along with an unknown bluish figure which seems to be called: "Tabuu" in Japanese.

EDIT: Also for those who do not wish to be spoiled in Europe, you practically need to live under a rock. The date has been set for the 1st of June this year. That's five months from now.

[Raien]

The date has been set for the 1st of June this year. That's five months from now.

That looks more like a preliminary date (i.e. a general idea of when the game will be release) rather than an actual release date. You can tell because in Europe (well, at least the UK), games get released on Friday, and so unless June 1st is a Friday (which it isn't), it won't be released on that date.

[ESK]

Yeah,Ninty?s reporting it was a placeholder for when they do release a date. But a Sunday release isn?t so unfeasible. After all, the U.S. is getting it on a Sunday, or at least they were when it was scheduled for Feb 10, and I seem to remember Perrin Kaplan defending Sunday as a valid release day because no other games come out and everyone?s free to shop

[SnowsilverKat]

*lifts rock, runs under it, lets it fall*

I don't know how I'll manage, but I want something in this game to be a surprise just so I can yell 'HOLY CRAP' at the screen at some point. I propose that we maintain total spoiler lockdown until the game has been release in ALL territories. Anyone else agree?

[SL the Pyro]

January 31st, 2008. Super Smash Bros. Brawl has officially gone on sale in Japan. Is everybody having fun with it?

However, Smash won?t come out in North America for a bit and sadly, Europe has an even longer wait until the game releases.

For the past eight months or so, Smash Dojo has served as a source of basic information for the game, but with the release of Brawl, the Dojo will take on a new role.

From here on out, the Dojo will begin to introduce the hidden characters, hidden stages, and additional features in Brawl that have gone unmentioned until now. I?d like to continue to add on to the Dojo so that players of Brawl can come back to this website following it?s completion and view Smash Dojo as a sort of guide for the game.

I plan on continuing updates for another two months, so please continue to enjoy the site.

Just remember, I?ll be posting information on hidden characters and other in-game secrets, so you should take caution when viewing the site if you want to save those surprises for later.

So THIS is why Sakurai has been giving us crappy, time-stalling updates. He was just waiting for the Japanese folks to get the game released.

...So in retrospect, we have them to blame for us being forced to dig up leaks.

But back on topic,

WHY THE F*CK IS ROB IN!? Sakurai could've slipped Mewtwo into that waste of space... or even Geno! Blaw!
