SSBB not for hardcore? Dude, once I get that game, nobody will be able to get me away from my Wii til this time next year. And I'll still go back to it after that. Jesus, I still play SSBM on my Wii almost every day. That game has staying power like you wouldn't believe. Anybody here able to go on their best SSBM character, turn off items, and put 3 level nine Bowsers on a team against you and still manage to win?
 been there, done that :PWith Ness ofc.

I use Marth, Samus, or Zelda. Sheik, more specifically. Almost never actually as Zelda.

MP3 will get closer to Halo 3. But personally Halo is the biggest selling game franchise nowadays. There is so much hype and prorders for Halo3 that I will be shocked if any game ever surpasses it for sales in the forseeable future.

 We are talking about Super Smash Bros Brawl for the Wii and Halo 3 for the Xbox 360. Not Metriod Prime 3. duh?

As for me I see Halo 3 not thrashing Super Smash Bros. Brawl to much but I consider that more people will play Halo 3 than SSBM. Most consumers that bought a Wii and will probably purchase SSMB will know nothing about SSBM online and you will have to purchase more joysticks to get more enjoyment out of the game. Sort of what Nintendo did with Gamecube and N64.

Now, SSBB? not a single thing, havent heard anyone talk about it whatsoever. I think the issue between these 2 games it they target different audiences. Halo is more of a hardcore gamer audience, while SSBB is not necessarily a game i would consider a game for "hardcore" gamers, IMHO. Who will sell better? not sure.


Halo 3 is weeks away from release, SSBB is months away from release. Now why do you think you haven't heard anything about SSBB around campus?


Not to mention that Galaxy launches in between now and then.

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.

Ugh, it's not SSBM, or SSMB...

And, W29, I don't know why you think a majority of Wii owners won't be aware of SSBB. I'm pretty sure every one will know about it. And there's no confirmed online for the game yet either, so I wouldn't want your hopes to get crushed.

Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release.  (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )

I think when you're comparing the two it's tough to say, both are VERY popular games that a lot of people eagerly wait. I think that Brawl has a great chance of outselling Halo 3 not only because it's on a seemingly more popular console(okay I'm being generous..) but because Brawl can sell to casuals where Halo 3 only seems to sell to hardcore till it's price drop then spawns out to -some- casuals.

Throw in Brawls free online play(yeah there's friend codes but it's FREE) compared to paying(I know it's not much but for the price of live I could buy a new game.) it could also be a boost in Brawls sales(I'm gonna go ahead and assume nintendo will add online play)

Brawl has several advantages especially one, it fills a niche that no other game really fills. It's a fighter and they're fairly common but this ones different somehow and even people who may own only fighting games seem to buy the smash bros games. Where Halo 3 is on a system with several like minded FPS games, Gears of War, Lost Planet, Prey, Bioshock. Not everybody buys 30 games a year like gamers, some people only buy 3 or 4 a year and given the amount of high profile FPS games released it may tap into Halos numbers..

I think Halo 3 will have a bigger launch but I think Brawl will outsell it in it's lifetime by quite a large margin.

Brawl. I think it will be close but I want Brawl more than anything so I give the edge to the game I want more.

Edit-Wow I just read through the topic and I'm shocked at what some of the Brawl doubters are saying. It doesn't have a chance? lol...oh I can't wait until December. 



BenKenobi88 on 12 September 2007

Also, 3 level nine Bowsers? Try 3 Foxes...argh.

lol ya, I use three bowsers to make it fun...otherwise it's hyper lightspeed deathmatch and you can't blink or you'll die three times before you open your eyes again. It's almost pitiful to watch me and my brother go up against 2 level 9 anybodys, though...I'd always hoped that the Wii was going to be more than 4 players so we could have more bots to kill in the custom deathmatch.
