[Shadow Blade]

Everything since last Thursday? AWESOME! (I've been gone for the weekend without Internet).

I can't wait to play as Sonic with Tails co-oping with me. XD

Hey, I had a dream that Banjo was confirmed for Brawl. I nearly killed myself when I found out it was only a dream...

So! Zamus has a whip and a short-range gun. Also her whip can be used to grab edges! This sure is entirely new information we either don't already know or couldn't deduce on our own.

Yep. Sure is.

On the other hand, while I remain adamant that there will be no method of plaing as ZSS from the start a la Shiek, their increasing persistence to treat her as an entirely seperate character is wearing my resolve.

Yeah, I know. But as I have said before, it is a good dream.

In that case then, let me re-phrase that:

I can't wait to play as Sonic with BK co-oping with me.


Oh shoot and darnits! I just remembered that I won't be able to play it anyway since I am banned from Video Games! OH-NOES! ...crud...

No updates yet? I guess it falls upon me to deliver the goods again.

KIRBY FINAL SMASH

...yeah, cooking Kirby, we all saw it in the first trailer. A-hem.

WARIOWARE TWISTED: ASHLEY'S THEME

Now this is interesting. It seems they've hired some talented vocalist work to do the song for its Brawl update. It's worth a listen!
I kind of prefer Ashley's tomboyish "Mandy from Grim and Evil" voice in the original, but at least this one can sing nice. The song is posted with a link to hear the Japanese version as well, but states that the final game will have 6+1 language variations on the song.
The +1 apparently counts for slight variations in british lingo and accent from the USA version. Odd.

Anyway, when you're moseying over to hear the Japanese version, be sure not to miss;

HIDDEN UPDATE: COOKING MAMA THEME

This is posted under Kirby's final smash, but only on the Japanese segment. Cute and fun.

EDIT: *shakes fist in KBK's general direction*

So, yeah, we've briefly seen Kirby's FS before, but now we get all the details. Eh, fair enough. It seems as if it's completely unavoidable -- the pot sucks you in no matter where you are on the stage. (I call "hax"!) Then it spits out some random items and sends everybody flying. Pretty straightforward, and all four players just get to -- have to? -- sit back and watch. Ho hum. Personally, I find the interactive FSes (Fox's, Yoshi's, Diddy's, etc) far more interesting.

ALSO! If you look at the update over on the Japanese side, it has music, too! I believe the voice at the beginning says "Dairantō (part of the Japanese name for SSB) Cooking Show", so it's hard to tell if it will be the theme for a Kirby stage or just play during his FS. I'd lean toward the FS, simply because it makes more sense in my mind -- but then again, it's a rather long piece for that usage alone. Additionally, I will concede that duking it out on the set of a Kirby-themed cooking show would be simply hilarious.

As for Ashley's Theme... I like it. I've heard the original before, and I actually like this new version better (granted, the original used DS synths). The English singers didn't do a half-bad job IMO! Anyway, lyrical songs in Smash are certainly strange, but not unheard of (see also: DK Rap). And I suppose its strangeness makes it all the more befitting of the inherently upside-down Smash universe.

Is it just me, or were the items produced in the final smash kirby-only items? I wonder if that's just for the promo pic or that's how it will work in-game.

EDIT - Did I beat you to it Fruity-kun? I pointed out the music too, it is indeed the Cooking Mama theme.

EDIT EDIT -

Hmm. As far as the "Cooking MAMA" theme, why didn't they have a translated version on the English page? If they don't even intend on translating it in the game itself, I would feel really weird sitting there and playing a game while listening to Japanese vocals, I dunno, it's just not my thing.


As far as the "only 2 or 3 3rd party characters", I wonder who they'll be. Snake we know, so the other two would probably be Sonic (hopefully), and either MegaMan or BK. I'm kind of hoping for MegaMan, but BK is very likely as well, although I'm not sure if it has enough fans to make it.

'Nuff said.
Looks like the fanboys got their wish.

See, when hundreds of millions of whining fanatics congregate and scream themselves blue-faced (no pun intended), not even Smash Bros is impervious to the verbal assault. If they didn't include him in Brawl, people would likely have buried Nintendo HQ in Osaka with hatemail.
I shudder to think of the undoubtedly MILLIONS of sonic-themed drawings being uploaded to deviantart every second because of this announcement alone.

I didn't think it was possible to report this much win (Sonic) and this much fail (release date) at the same time. But, I suppose, that was the plan - pacify everybody with Sonic's inclusion. -_-

@Anybody anti-Sonic: eh. If you start complaining about fanboys you're no better than 'em. I wanted to see Sonic in it to, and I'm far from a Sonic fanboy. Would I have voted him in? After Banjo and possibly Geno, yes (I would've had him tied with Diddy Kong, but he's already in the game).

All in all, this is the kind of game with which you have to remember: it could always be better, and it could always be worse. They could've removed half the good characters from Melee and left in all the clones, forced you to play with the Wiimote and replaced the whole soundtrack with garbage that would make Mario Party 5 sound good. But no, this game is going to rock. No matter how late they release it... -_-

EDIT: Hmm, could it be possible that the release is applied to Japan only? I've heard arguments for and against in other places. The most compelling was that the Wii itself was released in the US before Japan..... HMMMMM.
