Release date for NA on the official site was changed to TBD.

They should make it so that if you play as Sonic, the camera angles on the game start to suck, you start falling through floors, the hit detection gets wonky and the game will experience random lock ups.. the authentic Sonic experience.

The delay is to add in the "blast processing" for Sonic.

Hopefully they add Metallic Sonic as a costume change option.

If they have to delay the release date a couple of months to fix anything that might be wrong. then go ahead.

online co-op play

Delayed to February 10th.

Thats horrendus. Brawl was suppose to be a christmas seller.

I'd rather the game be perfect than be pushed out the door to grab a few Christmas bucks.

Rumors are floating around the Nintendo conference that Smash Bros. will have voice chat.

SOB< I wanted to play this for Christmas...

One more reason to sell my Wii.

Now the only game in the next five months that I'm interested in is Mario Galaxy. *sigh*

Not that it helps much, but February 10th is only 4 months from yesterday. Just thought I'd throw that out there.

Game of the Year 2008! ;-)

Lots of VERY good hands-on previews at wii.ign.com. Makes the delay even rougher.

I'm not a fighter genre kind of guy, but I'm really intrigued by this game. The promise of on-line play makes it even better.

I'll definitely pick it up.

I heard they're renaming the title to "Super Smash Bros. Brawl Forever".

I can't wait. I'm a foul-mouthed baritone who likes to play as Peach.

Interesting screenshot:

Hot.

"Princess Peach has a large screen-filling one [Final Smash] that starts off with two mirror images of her showing up on the right and left sides, blowing a kiss of rose petals, followed by round, fuzzy peaches raining from the sky, effectively wiping out everything in sight."

I could eat Princess Peach for hours.

Moving to Adult Talk.

Meowth has been added as an pokéball item:

Also, they've added the Wiimote controls:

Well Little Mac has been revealed...as an Assist Trophy. I'm happy to see him in the game, he looks so cool. But he would have been so awesome playable.

Still have my fingers crossed for a playable Ridley!

New video from the 'E for All' show:

Look at how much more character the drawings have over the lifeless 3D model.

Sigh.

Peach's final smash is kind of lame, but that cool frame makes up for it!


Here is a video showing a collection of final smashes:
