Super Smash Bros. Brawl: 5 Bilder / JAP Termin bekannt? / WiFi-Duelle?

10.08.07 - Nintendo zeigt fünf Bilder zum Prügelspiel Super Smash Bros. Brawl , auf denen der Gegenstand 'Franklin Badge' zu sehen ist: Wenn man ihn aufsammelt, ist man vorübergehend gegen Projektile immun.

In Japan scheint die Auslieferung womöglich am 22.11.07 stattzufinden. Das lässt sich aus Preislisten japanischen Großhändler entnehmen - eine offizielle Bestätigung für diesen Termin gibt's noch nicht.

Ebenfalls unbestätigt ist die Angabe, dass via Nintendo WiFi Connection Online-Duelle möglich sein sollen. Diese Angabe befindet sich ebenfalls in den Preislisten, wurde von Nintendo aber auch noch nicht offiziell angekündigt.

Fat parts translated: Brawl seems to have a Japan release date now, 22nd of November according to big japanese retailers!

 But the second part is better: The pricelists the retailers got confirm Super Smash Bros. Brawl will have Wifi mode!

This is not yet an official Nintendo statement, gamefront is pretty accurate with those things though.

 At least another strong indicator the game will feature Wi-Fi.

If Brawl has multiplayer, than it'll open a new era in Wii online gaming... And it will surely be a problem for XBOX Live...

I knew Brawl would release in Japan before it does in America. How could someone think the U.S. would get the game first? Nice update. I hope Ness is a character. And that he has a better up b move.

Yesss... the Franklin Badge. Seems a little cheap, though. Hopefully you can knock it off the carrier with hand-to-hand attacks. Then it might be pretty fair. Otherwise the newbs will go rushing for it every time.

This does make me feel better, but I still want official character info for Ness, and soon.

@Xeo_842 - Forget that! They better not change the B-up move! It's a bit tricky to learn, but it's extremely effective and versatile. If anything they should adjust Flash and/or Magnet. Those and the yoyo.

Hehe, I can't wait to put the hurtin' on you guys if this game has online.

No, XBox Live will be  fine. IOt pwns Nintendo's online. But, they won't have Smash bros. ;)

@Xeo_842 - Btw, you know Zelda: TP was released in the US first, right? It could happen.

Haha. BULLSHIT! Brawl will not be released in Japan first...it will be simultaneous or later.

I don't get why it wouldn't be released in japan first since the game is made there...right?

That's a crappy argument to why it would get released in Japan first. Just because they make games there, doesn't mean they can't ship it to America first.

This game is more successful in America and Europe, and American gamers would be pissed if it released in Japan first.

Melee was launched in Japan first because of the differences in launch dates with the Gamecube.  After Melee sold nearly 3 times as much in America as it did in Japan, and the first announced date for Brawl, 12/3, was announced for NA, I don't see how it would get released in Japan before America.

Good update.....
