I've still got to beat Harry Potter (warning: do not buy, tremendously tedious) and I've got an unopened Twilight Princess I'm thinking about exchanging for Mario Galaxy.

Play Twilight Princess, it's just as good as Mario Galaxy.

I'm sure it is, but I figure Galaxy is going to be a better game for me to pick up and play in small increments. I've played Galaxy and I know that I can play for just about 10-15 minutes at a time whereas past experience with Zelda games has taught me that sometimes they require a much more significant time commitment. (Not that one game's necessarily longer than the other, although I believe Zelda is. It's just that I don't want to get caught up in having to play a couple hours at a time to beat a dungeon.)

I see what you mean.

Dang. Something is fishy about that delay. But I'm still happy it's on a Sunday.

Strange thing is Japan only got their delayed by 7 days. Ours is 14 days. Something is not right. Unless they're delaying it so it can launch next to the WiiWare.

I was going to tell you to keep Twilight Princess but after reading that I'd recommend that you switch it with Mario Galaxy, unless you really enjoy Zelda games and plan on finishing it sometime in the future. I got Galaxy for Christmas and I'm playing it one bit at a time. There isn't much continuity to it -- you can just pick it up whenever and continue on from where you were last time so it sounds ideal for your situation. I don't like to play video games for hours at a time either so I understand what you're saying.

Oh, and...

Sheik!

Another delay? awww

Yays! Now with 400% more awesome!
And just last page Rekubot was saying that Zelda wouldn't be able to turn into Sheik.

*sigh* at least it's only another month...

Since there's now a new row of veterans with three open spaces who do you guys predict will take the spots? My predictions are Captain Falcon, Ganondorf, and Luigi or Jigglypuff. Or maybe both Jigglypuff and Luigi will have spots and Ganondorf will be unlockable. Hm...

[Mosthappypersonintheworldatthemoment]W00T!!! Sheik is in =D she's looking pretty good too =D[/Mosthappypersonintheworldatthemoment]

Not much changes on the veterans...

That's only the websites layout, and technically sheik isn't a new challenger.

DO WANT Ganondorf though. Maybe he'll have his sage sword this time (Though I'd prefer his bulky fat sword, or maybe dual swords as in WW)

Luigi'd be cool too, but how'd he be made different from Mario? Maybe they'll make Luigi's Mansions Luigi hehe.

And if both Ganondorf and good old Falcon are in, one of them'll need a new moveset too...

Ganondorf v/ C.Falcon moveset:

Is there really a question here? Of course Cappy's keeping his moveset; the moves figuratively scream "Captain Falcon." Or, literally, "Falcon!" Ganondorf was the clone, he came second, his moves didn't pertain to him, and he has a huge potential for new movesets. Of course his is the moveset that'll be changed.

And just last page Rekubot was saying that Zelda wouldn't be able to turn into Sheik.

When did I say that? All I said was that Zelda's Down B wasn't called Twilight Change, and I was right wasn't I?

Besides, Sheik was my main, and many others, for years. They're not going to get rid of a character that popular.



That has to be my favourite screenshot of Brawl so far. It looks like she blew up the bridge!

On another note, three new videos have been released. One is a How To Play (five minutes of sweetness!), and the other two are short Japanese advertisements.

Well, look on the bright side. At least you have a release date.

As for Ganondorf, Eiji Aonuma has already confirmed he'll be in in some shape or form. My guess is a character with his Twilight Sword to form the basis of his moveset.

Captain Falcon is definitely in. If you watch the How to Play video you can see the red alloy use all of Falcon's traditional moves, including the Knee. To further prove this, the Melee male wireframes were based off Falcon as well.

There's no way they're taking Luigi out (it's called Smash Bros. for a reason!), and since they changed Mario slightly they're bound to change Luigi as well.

Also, all special moves have been added to the character's separate pages. Olimar's final smash is called End of Day, though I don't know what it means. Didn't Pikmin have a set time limit? I think that was the reason I never bought it; I like to take my time through most games.

They've almost certainly gotten rid of Marth.

Indeed... *grumble*

I'm fairly certain that the three new open spots will be filled by the time the game is released. They've filled all of the open spots thus far so why not these ones? I'm 99.9% sure that Falcon will be a starter. Plus I'm going on a wild guess by saying that whoever runs the site would most likely prefer the character page to be symmetrical and evened out.

I'm surprised no one checked my math. Actually US has to wait a month.

Also Brawl got a 40/40 by famitsu

Sheik is back (of course), which is good.

Found this video on my search for Brawl info. Shows the possible Ice Climber final smash, the training video, and custom stages. Even better, it's recent, as it has the new release date.

Actually I was wondering about that, but for some reason I figured you knew what you were talking about. I'm kinda dumb like that sometimes.

You're a little late in the game Fusion. Ice Climber's Final Smash was unveiled quite a while ago and Rekubot just posted that video on the page preceding this one.

Interesting and long update today. I'm just happy it's only effective in the single-player story and not online and in multiplayer.
