Super Smash Bros. Brawl

[XHunter]

Super Smash Bros. Brawl is coming out for the Nintendo Wii some time Q1 2007. The creators of the game knew it would be to hard and confussing to play the game with the Wii Controller, so your not going to use the Wii Controller to play SSBB but your going to use the Gamecube Controller since the Wii has ports for four Gamecube Controllers. the controls are going to be the same as in Melee so you wont have to relearn the controls of the game.

While many of us have been grabbing at whatever information comes in on the official, English language Smash Bros. site, the Japanese version has been flooded with updates by director Masahiro Sakurai, as he responds to several e-mails from rabid fans. Smash World Forums poster SamuraiPanda has translated Sakurai's postings, and here is what has been revealed:

* The lineup: Not all characters from the previous games will return. Any non-Nintendo character must have appeared on a Nintendo platform before; the tentative number of non-Nintendo characters is 1 or 2 (Snake not included). Our guess is that other character will come from one of Nintendo's closest third-party developers: Namco, Capcom, or Sega. Sakurai, noting that Smash Bros is popular worldwide, does not want the title to feature characters that are only popular in Japan (though given the success of Fire Emblem, that may change).

* The gameplay: The speed of the game will be "moderated" (the translator guesses this means a slower pace). Every character's moves are being refined so that a player has "more freedom" in aerial combat. "This time, we'd like to stress easiness over the small details of combat, so overall it might become somewhat easier."

* Online: There are no plans for an online ranking system (although win-loss records might still be recorded). It does not seem that Sakurai is placing high priority on an online system.

that and its rumored that there will be 40 characters and all the clone characters (Falco / Gandorf - Mario / Luigi / Dr.Mario - Fox / Falco etc..)
will have thire own moves (so no cheap rip offs of other characters attacks)

so far the only new Characters we know about are.

Well I thought I was a nintendo freak here but of all the characters listed I do not know 27 of them. Oh well...guess a few of my favorites might not make it.

Yummy, Zero Suit Samus(yeah, I'm drooling again) I would like to see Roll(Rockman Battle Network series), Giga Bowser(SSB Melee) and some Tales of Symphonia maincharacters(like Collet, Presea, Shihna or Kratos) since its not likely that it will have bosses of that game or something.

[XHunter]

I really doubt that they will add in Roll over Rockman.... -.-...

[Weapon of Light]

I see that you didn't put Sonic the Hedgehog in that list.

Screw Kingdom Hearts! I want my hedgehog in there!

May I remind you people what Nintendo has said about third party characters
in SSBB

Any non-Nintendo character must have appeared on a Nintendo platform before; the tentative number of non-Nintendo characters is 1 or 2 (Snake not included).

Rockman is very possible, he would kinda be like samus with his buster and charge shot being Samus's (charged) energy ball, throwing miniboomers and maybe random battle chips, he would surely be one of my fav characters
