Super Smash Bros. Brawl -- The Rumor: Finally Debunked

Sorry, I'm a day late, aren't I?

Hopefully, the Ice Climbers update shed a little light on some of Brawl's roster.

Frankly, I think the video can pretty much speak for itself.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl is owned by Nintendo, Hal Labratories, Masahiro Sakurai, and anybody else I may have missed.

Actually, the part about Ridley was almost true. They had a vote where they asked what Nintendo character people wanted in the game, and King Dedede beat Ridley by one vote.

[teamrocketspy621]

Well, indeed, Ridley was on that list of fan-voted characters, but that doesn't mean he actually had a shot or was planned to be playable. Additionally, that poll was actually unrelated to this rumor.

Sakurai said in an interview with Nintendo Power that if they'd really tried and thrown all their effort behind it, they could've made him playable, but he didn't think it'd have been worth it simply because of all that effort for one character that might not have turned out that great after all.

lol, you got owned when Toon Link was announced for brawl!

[teamrocketspy621]

I did.

But the rumor got owned when Ridley was proven to be a boss, as I thought, and Bowser Jr. was revealed to only be a trophy, while Mr. Game and Watch and Ice Climbers both returned, just as I expected.

I win. >=D

Why would Nintendo make Link's sword right for the Wii version of Twilight Princess?

Because the Wii version is a mirror image of the Gamecube version, everything is flipped over. The game was developed initially for Gamecube, so that version is the "real" one in terms of consistency with the series.

Link is still left handed in Twilight Princess, just everything in the Wii version is back to front.

omgg how did u know after a couple days the game came out ,,, wow ur REALLLY smart to you commen SENSE!

[mrkrabs366]

It's not the stages that shrunk. The characters got bigger...

[solblade11]

i've seen the rOOster?!?

[snowyarticuno]

To this day, I have never understood the amount of hate IC and G&W get. They are awesome!

You should have seen my face when I saw IC's confirmation :D

Doubely so for G&W :D

[DarkLink93939]

No. Link is an actual name. If Link meant left, then why would Nintendo make Link's sword right for the Wii version of Twilight Princess?

[ZephyrSouls]

Link means in some other language left, since he's left handed.

[teamrocketspy621]

So that stages aren't all huge like Temple. XD
