Exactly. The only cost is what you normally pay for your internet.

Check this out (It's a compilation of all shots from the menu screens in SSBB)

Just to get an idea of the overall layout of the menu's of SSBB.
Also, I watched the trailer's over again, and I noticed this stage that still hasnt been confirmed on the main page, so I took some screenshots(Nintendo World Trailer):

oooooooo nice find

I just clicked on Zaborack's link and saw this on the side.

Just shows all the characters.

I really don't think that Snake, Ike, Pit, Sonic should be in there cuz there not well known Nintendo characters.

And who is Lucas??

Also A new map is Delfino Plaza which I like cuz I think Sunshine was a cool game

Sweet! Sunshine was a cool game

You dont keep updated on the website Egg Guts?
Delfino Plaza was revealed weeks(is it months now?) ago.

I really don't think that Snake, Ike, Pit, Sonic should be in there cuz there not well known Nintendo characters.

And who is Lucas??

Snake:
Snake is in because the producer of the MGS franchise is a good friend with Masahiro Sakurai(Director/Producer of SSB franchise), and he "begged" as Sakurai put it, to have Snake in the last game, but it was too late, so he is in now because of their close friendship, and because he was already supposed to be in Melee.

Ike:
Like Marth and Roy, Ike is from the Fire Emblem games, and seeing how liked Marth and Roy were, he was put in to be a continuation to the Fire Emblem in Brawl.

Pit:
Well, I dont know, he had a trophy in the last game, and alot of people like him, probably just put in to be the new spiky-haired guy with a sword that everyone likes(last one was Roy).

Sonic:
Come on, who didn't see that one comming, Sonic has always been most wanted by the fans to be in.

Lucas:
Since Ness was in both SSB and SSB:M, Lucas who is from the MOTHER(?) franchise, would be put in as a replacement for him now.

THAT took some time...

EDIT: just gonna put everything from last post in here, so you wont all have to switch to the last page:

Why would they put Sonic in? After all this is a Nintendo game...

Yeah, what's next, Master Chief?

Master Chief in a smash brothers game would be the pwnage

But yeah,whats next, Cloud Strife?

I've probably played SO much more of the SSB than all of you. Anyway, good thread. I look on http://thewiire.com/ for my SSBB updates. I can't wait!

I'll PWN you all on online play. :maulsaber:

^^^ Sega was going to be independent (Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo, SEGA) but then hackers hacked their systems and put all their games on PC (emulators). So now they are teamed up with Nintendo. And besides, Snake is even more non-Nintendo.

^^ Master Chief is Microsoft and is probably Copywrited.

^ Not sure who Cloud Strife is...

Cloud Strife is the main character of Final Fantasy VII. This dude: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/e ... fe_art.jpg

Master Chief is Bungie studios property (didnt you hear about the secession between the 2 companies?),and IS copyrighted.

Yeah, well, I don't have Halo (1, 2, or 3) in fact, I don't even have a Xbox!

Heresy!!!!!!!!!! jk

Now to go back on topic

Tjeezus folks, read my post for descriptions on why characters are in...
and use the official site, http://www.smashbros.com if you want updates, it's updated on all weekdays, and more accurate than sites just updating parallel to it.

Microsoft owns the whole Halo IP franchise. Bungie doesn't own anything of Halo last time i check.

No...Bungie owns the copyright,Microsoft is merely is the publisher. Why do you think that Bungie sells halo stuff on its store site and not on the Xbox.com store?

Proof and link

Site wrote:On Friday, Microsoft and "Halo" creator Bungie Studios announced plans to amicably part ways. The split was effective Monday. Microsoft retains all rights to "Halo," a franchise of first-person shooter video games credited for the success of its Xbox video game business and expected to break $1 billion in total sales by year's end. It will also maintain an undisclosed minority equity interest in Bungie.

Master Chief would never be in anyway so enough of that.

Tjeezus, back to topic(Tjeezus' my new fave word XD)
Anyway, I wonder if the Mario Kart stage is non moving, or if it is like the Mute City stage in Melee, like the platforms move sometimes etc.

EDIT: lol, third time having to re-add the Mario Kart an Menu Shot post, just for you guys
Seeing as the last page was nearly all spam/offtopic, I doubt anyone even noticed it, so here it is:

Remember, this stage might have been cancled. When the trailer for meele came out they had some maps that wheren't in the final game.
