Not that I plan on ever getting a Wii, but the idea of Sonic vs. Mario is great.

Oh, and Solid Snake against Yoshi...

[Guest Botmaster4lyfe]

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the equation for why Super Smash Brothers: BRAWL will be the greatest game ever:

Kirby

+

Solid Snake

=

KIRBY WITH A MULLET.

E3 is over. Nintendo won. The last guy was hard.

[GoGo Yubari]

As a Smash Brothers Melee afficionado, I am fucking STOKED for this game. I didn't think they could possibly top MetaKnight, and then SOLID SNAKE showed up.

But Bowser better fucking be in it or heads will roll, as I am a master of Gratuitous Bowser Style.

[Mysterio2000X]

God damnit, now I'm going to have to get a Wii.

And what the hell is a nintendog?

[Fanku Kaibutsu]

Hopefully, Smash Brothers Brawl won't be to Smash Brothers Melee what Smash Brothers Melee was to the original Smash Brothers- slightly less awesome, yet still amazing.

I've already decided to go for the Nintendo Wii since Sony opted to lie once again to its customers (no two versions ala Microsoft?) and put up an insanely steep price tag.

If they pull off online for this bad boy, I will be in a coma until launch day.

For those who have seen the video or read about it, Solid Snake + box + SSB arena = comedic GOLD.

[Benji]

Sonic... VS... Mario

Tears of joy.

So... who hasn't been in any Nintendo games?

[Guest clintcasey]

Snake. I guess you could argue that since the original Metal Gear game was released for computer and eventualy ported to the NES that the series has been on a nintendo console before, (although that was nearly 20 years ago) but Solid Snake wasn't in that game.

[Kaney]

I've never really been fond of Super Smash Bros, but Snake, and possibly Sonic, would make it all worthwhile. Sonic vs Mario, all the time. ALL the time.

I dunno if I understand you or not, but did you say Solid Snake wasn't in the original Metal Gear?

And if we're accepting ports, Snake was on Gamecube in the remake of MGS, The Twin Snakes.

Mulleted Kirby? I wanted Smash Bros anyways, but bright green Kirby with a mullet (Y)

And possibly Sonic too..I just hope they ditch Ness & Captain Falcon though.

[Guest clintcasey]

Yeah, but Earthbound was GREAT!!! And F-Zero was also good. Instead of ditching Ness they should instead improve his moveset to be on par with everybody else since they left him too weak. Plus they never let him use his Special Psychic attack that you get to name from the game and that was like his ultimate attack. Captain Falcon can stay too, but if they want to let him go I wouldn't misss him.

Yeah, Snake wasn't in the original Metal Gear, his debut was in Metal Gear Solid. I don't know if we're accepting ports or not though, I don't but I guess that a matter of opinion.

...

I'm fairly sure Solid Snake was in Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2 : Solid Snake. The clue is in the name. Unless there's some sort of conspiracy I've missed, Solid Snake took on Gray Fox in the first one, Big Boss in the second one, Liquid Snake in MGS and so on. Feel free to enlighten me though, I have been wrong about these things before >_>

[Guest clintcasey]

Never played Earthbound, just saw Ness as unneccesary as Earthbound wasn't released outside Japan, and only just has it's sequel on the way.

[apsham]

Yes, it was Solid Snake in the original series, as he fouight Big Boss in both of them. And of course it counts as a port.

[Guest clintcasey]

I guess if you want to be picky about it he has been ported over a couple times. He's still deffinatly not a licenced nintendo character so yay third party characters! And yay Wario's Giant Attomic Fart Bomb Attack!

[Vilge Duin]

Solid Snake was the main character of Metal Gear for the NES (even though a port... that's equivalent to saying GTA has never been on the Xbox because it appeared on the PS2 first), along with Snake's Revenge (although that title's connections are dubious at best now). And if you don't think it is Snake, just look up any FAQ/Walkthrough/TimeLine/Etc. to see for yourself. Hell, just whip out Metal Gear Solid and the Previous Mission stuff outright says it.

There was also Twin Snakes for the Gamecube, and if you're going to be super anal retentive about a port and/or remake...

Then just go track down Metal Gear: Ghost Babel for the Gameboy Colour and be done with it. Snake has appeared on a Nintendo console before.

Anyways, watching the trailer last night cinched it for me about whether to get a Wii or not. Amazing graphics and all are great but I'm getting tired of too many same-same games being made. The Wii looks to be able to provide that new avenue of gaming the other systems don't have.

Zelda, Smash Brothers, Mario, Red Steel, and the variety of other things they've shown has just made me decide to start saving up.

[damhausen]

God damnit, now I'm going to have to get a Wii.

And what the hell is a nintendog?

We all have to get a Wii. It's cheap, and it's lineup of games is just amazing.

And a Nintendog is a character from this insanely popular DS game. Nintendogs.

EDIT- Also, Kojima asked that Snake be in SSBB. And it seems we'll be able to vote on some more characters to be included. At least Japanese gamers are, I'm assuming they'll open an English site soon.

That trailer is made of concentrated win, awesome and badass. Whatever the hell that giant fireball-thing and Link's insane Triforce slash things were were spectacular, Pit's arrival rocks ball and fucking Snake! If there's a mode in the game like a Story mode and someone says 'It's just a box', I may just die of a nerdgasm.

[Buford Ripley]

Huzzah! I loved the little 'reconnaisance' bit with snake in the video and Mario's fireball attack looked just a little bit vicious.
