SSB will be the next VC game I buy.

Combinded, yes, but not by a lot. It's only 2million more in Japan only. Less the half a million for Europe. But American total for Smash is larger then any region's sales for AC, and even larger then WW's total.

But we must also not forget what system Wild World is on. The DS. A system wkitha large userbase. Smash has yet to be on a system with a large userbase, but it almost hit AC:WW's sales one a system with only 20million buyers. You also won't be saying this if it weren't for AC:WW. That game made the franchise, and it only came out reciently. Smash has better user/console rate, higher overall sales, and higher average then AC. We can't tell until we see AC in the future becuase everyone gets lucky. And we also need to see how Smash does on a console with a larger user base.

Anyone else notice the different screens in the Japanese update?

Wario and DK are fighting in those screens.

Interesting...

Maybe he made the Japanese pics, then decided Mario and Yoshi would look better in the rest.

Don't they have to be different screens since that much text is involved?

The other language sites have the English screens and it is translated below the screen.

For the Japanese site, they just re-did the stage, with different characters. I wonder if he is saying the same stuff.. probably is.

There seem to be a lot of pointless arguments on here. Like when online was confirmed. Where is smash on Nintendo list of games sold. Who will be out and who will be in.

Don't worry...I shall step in and cease all arguments if they go on too long.

This thread is for celebrating Smash!

Well there is going to be some discussion on more than just the updates here because it's the only topic completely devoted to Smash.

I don't really care...your "when online was announced" arguments are absurdly pointless though. You may know you're right about something...but online's announced...that's what counts.

And the Smash vs. AC argument...I dunno, if AC's sold more, who cares...it's a different audience buying that game. Smash has an irrefutably huge fanbase, and it'll probably be much bigger for Brawl anyway.
