While hundreds of crazy geeks are probably waiting in some long line debating Link over Mario waiting for Super Smash Bros. Brawl to be released, I’m in my warm home with a definite date in my head.
I’ll most likely have Brawl on or before the 13th (Thursday). Amazon shipped today and says that’s when it’ll be here.
/passes out from excitement/
I’ve been focusing a lot on Brawl on this site, but I think I should maybe talk about the other game I’m really looking forward to: Mario Kart Wii. I’ve done my homework and I have some news.
- Miis are playable drivers that you can upload from the Mii Channel. This is good news. (I wanted them to be in Brawl, but this isn’t about Brawl. It’s about the poor, over-looked Mario Kart Wii.) Miis need to be in more compilation games, like a certain upcoming brawling game that shall go nameless. They’ve been in plenty of games, more than Pikmin & Olimar, but that’s a bit off topic, right?
- The Gamecube controller may or may not be an optional controller. Seems like a rip-off to me. When they first announced this game they said that it would a revolutionary game in that it would level the playing field between pros and amateurs with the Wii Wheel, but that won’t work if the pros are going back to the familiar Gamecube controller.
- Now for the online play news: Their will be twelve players online… interesting. They will introduce a new channel solely for Mario Kart Wii Online data. I don’t want this sucking the memory, but oh well.
Before Metroid Prime 3: Corruption (or whatever that was called) came out, Metroid came out on Wii’s Virtual Console. Before Super Paper Mario came out, Paper Mario came out on Wii’s Virtual Console. Before Super Mario Galaxy came out, Super Mario Bros. 3 came out on Wii’s Virtual Console.
Now Nintendo Power magazine says it’s possible that N64′s Super Smash Bros. could come out before Brawl. I’ll be so overwhelmed in Mid-March going back and forth between the classic familiar Super Smash Bros. and the new exciting Super Smash Bros. Brawl! Heehee… Melee… caught in the middle… the overlooked middle child, if you will.
