Super Smash Brothers Wii, Featuring Solid Snake
mcc writes "In a surprise news conference this evening, Nintendo unexpectedly revealed Super Smash Bros. Brawl for the Nintendo Wii, and released a promo video of the title. Smash Bros. Brawl will feature online play; a Nintendog item that blocks your view of the playfield by jumping up on the screen and demanding to be petted; bizarre Dragonball Z style superattacks; your choice of traditional Gamecube or motion-sensing Revmote control; and new characters in the form of Samus (without the suit), Meta Knight, Kid Icarus (!), and... Konami's Solid Snake, complete with a cardboard box he hides in. The only bad news is despite earlier reports it would be a launch title, Smash Bros. Brawl will not be out until 2007."
Do they make a Nintencat the requires catnip before you can pass?
I know I'm not the only one to be excited about this. right?

IGN kept on bringing up Kid Icarus when they talked about games they'd like to see on the Wii, and even during their interviews with Nintendo execs. It looks like it paid off.
Wario is the goatse man!

"Metal Gear Trousers", featuring a new character Trouser Snake, controlled with your Wii stick.
GCHQ Quantum Insert installed. If only our tongues were made of glass, how much more careful we would be when we speak
On the other hand, finally! An opportunity to sneak up behind Pikachu and snap his damn neck!

E3: the chatlog
Sony: Woo! Check out the PS3! It pushes squillions of polydandries!
Audience: That's nice, but we've heard that before.
Sony: Well I guess you aren't interested in MGS4 then?
Audience: Wooh! Rock on MGS4!
Sony: And check out our new controller. It's like our old controller, but it has tilt sensors, but not like those crappy Nintendo sensors, ours are EXTREEMME!
Audience: Wait what? What about the Baterang?
Sony: And the best part? The console's not only the biggest of the next gen consoles, but it's the most expensive!
Audience: WTF?!
Sony: And! If you pay a measly $100 more, you can get the version that doesn't suck!
Audience: Fuck you.
Sony: Screw you guys too then, you'll be begging to mortgage your house for Blu-ray one day!

Nintendo: Wiiiiiii!!!
Audience: Wiiii?!
Nintendo: WIIIIIIIIII!!!!
Audience: Wii!!
Ever since the name was announced, I've had this odd compulsion to visit several local gaming stores, run inside and shout something to the effect of "Wiiiiiiii! Wiiiiiii! Wiiii? Wiii! Wii wii wii wii wii wii wii! Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!" Also, during the first couple of "Wiiiiiii!"s, I'm running around the store using my arms as airplane wings.
I haven't done it yet, but the temptation is oddly strong. I don't really have the time, though....
This is great. If they could push this out before August, we'd have a perfect opportunity to tie the game to a movie that is completely unrelated.
What you'd have to do:
1) Have Solid Snake as one of the fighters
2) Choose one of the levels where you battle on Fox's ship
3) Have everyone shout "SNAKE'S ON A PLANE"
4) Profit/giggle madly
Jokes aside, this looks awesome. Well worth the wait for online connectivity.
One thing I don't see a lot of comments about is the "Super Smashes" (my term, not theirs). If you watch the trailer, at one point Mario grabs a sphere with the SSB logo on it, and does a little "charge up" animation. After which, he unleashes either a HUGE flame on everyone, or unleashes a thousand flame punches (I couldn't really tell). Kirby is also shown charging, and then we see Mario in a pot. Link appears to have some sort of mutli-slash that creates Triforce images around the character.
Most likely, these would all be activated by the "Super Smash Sphere" (again, my term) which would be a very rare item. These look to have a lot of potential.
Finally, some predictions for other new characters:
-Waluigi
-Captain Olmar (he'd control a small herd of Pikmin or something)
-Paper Mario (he'd have the hammer, be able to turn side ways, would float down)
-hopefully no more Pokemon
I think the characters we all want are Left and Right Pong Paddles.
I want Chuck Norris
"I'm still waiting for Sonic to be added to Smash Bros., so we can settle once and for all which mascot will win in a bar fight..."
The answer is: Cowboy Neal.
There are 01 kinds of cars in the world. The General Lee, and everything else.
I really really want the "L" shaped Tetris block. Pleeeease Nintendo, please add the L block!
Why does my post history abruptly stop? I want to laugh at the stupid things I posted as a kid.
