Yeah, that might be close at least lol.  Still, this is pretty much the biggest update that could possibly come.  I can't believe it was actually delivered through the website.  I guess it's being released at this time to take some thunder from the TGS attendees.  

okay, so i need to graduate before the game comes out...

Sonic+ Megaman + Mii's = bigger update... maybe

I get the feeling Mii's are already confirmed because of the avatars (even though they aren't really any indication)

To the person who said no voice chat confirmed, i did not see that, however i *did* see "more wi-fi services to be announced"

Dammit i posted on naz thread and i thought i was in this one. Anyway to sum things up: W00t and f@CK YEAH!

Today and until the game 's release is brawl day. Some small things: Mr Sandbag is back (In a loading screen),mii avatars may mean that you can use your custom mii as a character, Nintendo is being honest about lag, (no other company makes such claims before a games release, kudos to them) and Zero Samus might be played as a standalone instead of a normal Samus status( if the mii theory stands, that avatars reveal playable chars.)   

fazz is right. We could have players right from this thread if we need a team together.

 They're just avatars, jeez.

A great move by Nintendo

I now predict this will be the best selling game of this generation.

This game is pure fanservice.
If they include Sonic
(And I would hope even crazier things like Miis, PacMan, Ryu, MegaMan, Simon Belmont, BomberMan, and "Master Cheif (The ultimate FYou to Sony" ) it will quickly become a videogame love letter.
A "thank you" for playing over 30 years of our products.

It really has the potential to be the greatest game for years to come. One of those games that can't really get a sequel. The ideas and nostalgia are bar none so far.

Again, this is great!

I'm worried about Ben . i think the update was so great he had a heart attack.
Either way AWESOMEEEEE.

BAH, when I officially stated it would have online months ago nobody cared.....anyway......

SSSSSSSSSWWWWWWWWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEETTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
