10 days until I whore myself out to my Wii once more.

@Rebelphoenix83: Sure it does. Don't click on the full article, genius.

You know.. I think everyone has adapted to not having Mega Man in the game line up.. Almost here!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*Spoiler*

Does anyone else think that Lucario seems like a really good character?

I especially like the fact that he is very fighting oriented as opposed to Mewtwo who wasn't as close-combat oriented.

spear pillar: top of mountain in Diamond and Pearl. the climax of the game takes place there. 'nuff said.

thejakeman: probably disagrees with you

@Mikazukinoyaiba: Your comment just appears as gibberish. No idea what that's supposed to mean.

Michael McWhertor

"Spear Pillar is a Pokémon thing that I don't understand. I got as afar as "it's a stage" and then got lost."

Er... okay well that is exactly what you were suppose to get.

Spear Pillar is a stage from the Pokemon Diamond and Pearl games, occassionally pokemon appear and if Dialga or Palkia appear expect some crazy effects.

Then they explained and showed you the effects, I don't see what was there to miss or not get.

@Finalboss: Master Hand isn't really much of a spoiler since he was the final boss of the single-player mode in the first two games, and Crazy Hand was in Melee. It's like telling someone that Bowser is the last boss in Super Mario Galaxy. By now, most people would presume it to be the case.

@OMGLOLZ: Hey, mine too! That two timing slut!

Swordmonkey

Master hand looks a lot like my girlfriend.

OMGLOLZ

PAL release in autumn? You mean I might not fail this year of my degree?

@Finalboss:
Master Hand, in Smash Bros.?

Players Choice is Nintendo's version of Greatest Hits.

@Aflack: Likes slushies:
this is true, some Sears did sell the game, but it's all sold out now and management is also pretty mad.

ZinkO: The Game (the kind you just lost)

@dawimp523: It's not at EVERY Sears but some have broken the street date. This has been confirmed by two friends. I'd look to see if the one near me has it but I can't be bothered to right now.

Aflack: Likes slushies

@LANfill:

*****Spoilers****

Well yeah because they seem to be going along the lines of characters unlocked in sequential order by matches.

Snake is 130 vs matches
R.O.B is 160
Ganondorf is 200
Game and Watch is 250
Sonic is 300
Jiggs is 350
Toon Link is 400
Wolf is 450

**** Spoilers ****

@ Aflack:

How do you know it's out at Sears? Did you see it or perhaps buy it? I went to my local Sears last Wednesday, and I sure as heck didn't see it. Their games section is kind of small, even though they had a lot of good 360 games, and TONS of Rock Band bundles for the PS3 & Wii, but the EB Games on the other end of the mall had bundles as well as the individual drum kits! I don't think Sears had many games for the other systems, nor did they have the systems themselves. Well, actually, they had 360's & PS2's. It was pretty bad, but not nearly as bad as the games section in Sam Goody / FYE!

That section is AWFUL!! The whole store overprices everything, but the games section has so many bad games, and they organize them so that you have to look hard to find a good game! But the worst thing is the TV displays that are supposed to let you play games, yet are never on. They only have a PS2 & a GameCube in the displays! Can they not find current-gen systems?

dawimp523

I own a gamecube and have never even played Smash Brothers Melee, does that make me a bad person? (I kept waiting for it to become a Greatest Hits title, but Nintendo was too greedy and kept the price high) It always seemed kind of like a shallow fighting game that was only popular because it featured nintendo characters.

greeble

Master hand, huh.
Guess we just gave up on the spoilers warnings, and with a week to go before release? This type of thing wouldn't happen to GTA fans.

Finalboss

So occasionally Spear Tower experiences slow-motion fighting because of the mysterious nature of the stage? Hear that developers? You just found your new excuse!
"Well, it lags because the mysterious ruins and artifacts in the area. It's intentional."

Erwin

not that there aren't other games that i want to get for wii, but this is actually the first i will get since i got mine last year... oh yes this game will suck my life as my insatiable quest to collect/get everything kicks in once again

@greygecko: Fools, brawl is already out. You can get it at Sears.

That's what I said.

I'm picking up the Bully rerelease next week to help quell my anticipation...

Saturday the 8th will be the looooooooooooongest day ever.

Smash Bros tournaments are rolling across the country!

Kotaku doesn't have a spoiler warning system?

@StevenRafael:

A tournament thats 1 minute long and uses the wii mote to play. Should be pretty sick -_- .

@djricekcn:

didnt know that

then im more grateful now of not being a european gamer

...and feel even more sorry for them

greygecko

@greygecko: You can't ignore firmware updates. Some games will not load without a specific firmware or something higher than that. Super Smash JP was one of them.

djricekcn

Man!! My friends and I are gonna RAPE at the local Brawl launch tournament! Two of my friends and I signed up at the Gamestop just about 1 mile away from our neighborhood, and we're gonna dominate!

How do I know?

1. My buddy Harris started the list weeks ago.
2. As of yesterday, the list only consists of five people.

StevenRafael

@_MARVKO_:

XD i wanna see that now

greygecko

Nintendo will crush the freeloader with an on-disc firmware update on a future title, say.. Mario Kart.

Josh*

arrgghhh!! i have the urge to by the freeloader now!!!

ARRGGHH!! CUURRSSEE YOOOOOUUUU!!!

>_<

Onizuka-GTO

"Crazy-Hand McWhertor" is a fuckin' awesome name!

Sounds like a post-apocalyptic, cyborg gunslinger from a future Suda51 game.

_MARVKO_

Ten days already! Time flies. I kinda lost anticipation of this due to all the hype and waves of spoilers. Then again, I know the day before I'm gonna be pissing my pants in impatience.

Snake, we shall dominate!

Saint Anima: Kotaku's Poetic Massacre

Oh God I can't wait.

I can't wait. It's preordered, I got a Wii almost specifically for this game... come on!

Aww nuts, it's still tba in Aus T_T

@djricekcn: If i remember correctly, some wii mod chips advertise upgradable firmwares o.O

@djricekcn:

its still useful for PAL residents though, and u can always ignore the firmware updates

JUST A LITTLE MORE GENTLEMEN

Tommorow is the WPI official Nintendo tournament.

Anyone in the Boston area entering?

@Forkball: OH MY GOD MY EYES NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

manjikengo

Reverse goatse?

Forkball

I still think the Loader will become useless with future firmware updates since some games need a certain firmware to run

djricekcn

I cant wait for this game. Especially since my local Gamestop is one the many Gamestops doing midnight launch parties and Tournaments. Gonna be an excellent weekend. I also did the most geeky think I have ever done. I used vacation time to be off work and get maximum initial launch Smash playtime.

Ceezsa

*spoilers*

I bet the next hidden character will be SNAKE

*/spoilers*

LANfill

I can't wait until this game comes out so I can stop hearing about it.

/goes back to hypocritically worshiping the hype of LittleBigPlanet

PapaBear434

Ahh... Three more days now... I've decided I have no problem with Toon Link, R.O.B, and Lucario. I'll probably be good with Lucario even, I just really think they do not deserve to be there. It's like putting in a Deku Scrub. Lucario had very minimal appearances. One movie if I'm not mistaken?

Ah well, if anything they shall be my punching bags. :j

@Aflack: Likes slushies: Uh, no you cannot. Sears accidentally slipped their stock at a few stores, but the majority didn't, and the ones that did are sold out and don't get another shipment until for release date. You can't order online, the mix-up was fixed. You can't get it at Sears, don't confuse people.:]
