This game not being online would lose at least 500,000 to 1,000,000 sales in the end which is a lot. I wouldn't even mind if they delayed the game to put in online but not putting it in would be a shot in the foot, and the game would lose some of its hype.

Well I agree not putting online kills about 500K to 1,000,000 sales, but remember we are talking about 500-1 mil of an 8 or 9 million selling title (easily). I mean yeah, I would much rather have online, but I will buy it without. For me the most important part is playing with friends anyway.

Er... did anyone else notice the site updated? They added DK, The release date, and the 15 second E3 trailer.

beaten to the puch. Very nice. Last update I'll see for a while.

On planets with humans.

Seriously speaking, it could be just something that they haven't finished working on it (more likely, considering this is Nintendo we are talking about) or keep it as a surprise of some kind (unlikely if that's what was shown on E3, I don't really watch streamed video, too slow, plus I didn't think there's gonna be anything good with only 3000 people attending E3 now)

Also, they need to save some information for the rest of the year, they can't announce everything in one go, can they? What'll keep the daily update going then? And don't forget about TGS and whatever other game conference or convention they may attend.

Add the release dates to the first post.

Oh and I bet that they will have a full on trailer for us on the website today. Either today or one of the other E3 days.

Update:  Donkey Kong

It’s Donkey Kong, ruler of the jungle. The original giant powerhouse makes a triumphant return!

Looks like his giant punch is still the haymaker you remember. Don’t doubt his strength or you’ll end up with the ultimate headache!

[For the 1st picture] Well, it's a different princess in distress and a different hero going after her, but the more things change, the more they stay the same.

Edit: Oh, and a different DK too. 

The trailer's freakin sweet...

It shows all this stuff we've been getting through pics...all in motion. In very smooth motion! It looks like this game is going to be very smooth and fast...I like!

Ergh...sorry...I can't figure out how to stop this thing from automatically playing...

I had it embedded, but it'd get annoying for people to have to see it every time they load the page.  ...or would it?  I wouldn't mind.

Here's a link anyway http://www.smashbros.com/swf/movie070712a_for7.swf
