Assuming the North American release date doesn't change from the expected Feb. 10, 2008, there are 50 (calendar) days left (or 49 days and some hours, if you want to be technical) until I'll be playing Super Smash Bros. Brawl!
I didn't put in a pre-order yet though, maybe I should.
I've been Meleed out, that ironically it's the single-player adventure mode,
The Subspace Emissary, that excites me the most, even more than the multi-player, though of course I do love the
expanded character roster. I guess I'm just excited to see Nintendo characters
actually meeting up and
fighting for some kind of purpose, as they've really only had cameos in each others' games and pointless rumbles in past Super Smash Bros. games. And, being such a fanboy, there's also more
trophies and trivia, which is exciting too!
Still, in the past year, making an effort to be more social, and the Wii being hot yet still the only one among my friends who has one (or at least with a certain group of my friends, and the only one willing to bring it along), my Nintendo games (both Wii and GameCube) are more commonly played each outing and get-together, so Brawl may be more fun than Melee simply because I'll have more opportunities to actually have full four-player matches. (Then I might actually win sometimes, instead of being creamed by my brother constantly.
)
Online helps with finding more people to play, too. I fully expect the regulars here who have a Wii to trade Friend Codes with me.
I'm going to watch
a few videos again...
