Super Smash Bros: Brawl!

After seeing this vid, I've decided that I will definitely get a Wii so I can have this hot, sexy game.

Enjoy!

Looks awesome... SSBM was one of my favourite games for the Gamecube.. Pretty cool how Solid Snake is going to be in it.

Please let that Zero Suit Samus be an actual second character rather than them messing around with normal Samus to create another Zelda(?) that turns into another character, both with advantages and disadvantages because she is a Classic

I'm gonna be getting a Wii anyway, that just seals the deal really. Even if Wii is a really dumb name, but if you look at it, "Playstation" and "X-Box" aren't really fantastic names. The consoles with the good names (Dreamcast, Genesis, Neo-Geo) all failed pretty miserably.

BORING :sleeper:

you know what, the more i read about it the more i want one..i may get one..as long as nintendo keep it fairly cheap.

Definitly getting a Wii. I still think the Gamecube produced the best looking games of the three big consoles. Added that you will be able to get the complete back catalogue of Nintendo games, & quite a few for free, I'm actually looking forward to this more than PS3.

Plus Twilight Princess will FINALLY be bloody released...

The Wii totally stole the show at e3 -- tremendous buzz and the reports were amazingly favorable.

Madden Wii alone will sell this console by the truckload, because it will give players absolute control (flicking the controller at whatever speed/strength/spin you want to throw the ball), which the other consoles can't match.

Both Sony and Microsoft have now come out and said that the Wii will be the #2 selling console (though of course they believe their own will be #1).

Wario rocks!

Is there any news on a new Mario or Mario Kart game? I think a reason the GC didn't sell was they held this games back far to long. I enjoyed my GC more then my PS2 but xbox was number 1.

The new mario game will be called Super Mario Galaxy, but at this point looks liks it won't be available on release of the Wii, but early 2007.
Here's a vid that dhows some of the Wii's controllers (including light gun), and then shows some random girl playing Super Mario Galaxy

anyone know the release date and price?

all this talk has got me hyped up lol.

 

[Frederick]

An official release date hasn't been released yet, but it'll most probably be November this year. As for the price, expect it to be anywhere between $350 and $400. Definitely the most affordable of the 3.

Well, I've just been looking around a couple of sites, and found this interesting:
NES - Launched at $199 US
SNES - Launched at $199 US
N64 - Launched at $199 US
GCN - Launched at $199 US
So I really don't see any reason why the Wii wouldn't launch at the same. Hopefully meaning a $299 launch price for us

 

[canberra_raiders2k2]

yea ive just downloaded a lot of Wii clips...the console is looking like my favorite at the moment, and thats from someone who has a 360 ( and i do think its awesome).

come end of the year ill be broke lol.

 

[Jordan]

Maybe... but I remember the GCN was originally $399 for us then MS dropped the price of the Xbox significantly a couple of weeks before launch so Nintendo dropped the price of the GCN to $329. It obviously will depend on the price of the PS3 and how much MS drop the price of the Xbox 360.

Even so, I've got no dramas with shelling out that much for the Wii. Paying any more than $500 for a console is, IMO, insanity.

 

[Jordan]

Yeah, no worries here either. I'll definitely buy one. I'm too much of a Mario and Zelda fan not to..
