Super Smash Bros. Brawl features co-op
It's structured for one player to be lead and for another to be his wingman, his Goose, if you will. The Don Quixote of the duo will lead the movement, and Sancho Panza will have to stay in the boss' screen. There are a few other details about TSE there too, so if you're interested, it's well worth a read.
[Thanks, Ryan]

Its so great to see a game go so above and beyond when it comes to fun features, they could easily have added only a few new characters and stages and people would still have loved it but nintendo seems hellbent on making this one a classic.

GRANTED = TROLL

CA,
You call him a troll then you troll yourself. How are you any better?

Who is the greater troll: the troll or the troll that trolls him?
FOXHOUND @ Oct 5th 2007 9:14AM
So... is the co-op mode along the lines of MARIO & LUIGI:SUPERSTAR SAGA? x_o?

Excellent are those Mario & Luigi games.
Zertoss @ Oct 5th 2007 9:20AM
lol Don Coyote and Sancho Panda

That's Quixote and Panza.
While I, too, remember the Hanna-Barbera cartoon from the early 90s, the blog's post refers to the 17th century novel by Miguel de Cervantes that said cartoon is loosely based off of:

It is always cool to have games that include a ton of extras to keep you going, if only to give you that much more reason to turn it on one more time.
Slaziman @ Oct 5th 2007 9:30AM
Is the online co-op? And talking about online, can the Tourney mode be played online? At least with friend code friends?
Goddammit Nintendo, can't you see we want to know this stuff?
Slaziman @ Oct 5th 2007 9:31AM
Is there*
Also, your title says Super Smas. Bros.
Smas.
megaStryke @ Oct 5th 2007 9:46AM
You know damn well that Sakurai is the biggest tease on the planet. He's worse than that girl that you knew from high school who was really flirty to you but you didn't know if she was ACTUALLY into you or if she just liked to mess with your mind, and you heard from the grapevine that she slept with half the football team but none of the players could give you a straight answer about it.
shivr @ Oct 5th 2007 3:11PM
looks like you've got some baggage there, mega...
Danny @ Oct 5th 2007 9:30AM
Oh cool, I love Super Smas Bros!
32_Footsteps @ Oct 5th 2007 10:31AM
Personally, I like how they corrected the headline, but not the URL or the page title. I feel like Joystiq is giving us our own personal in-joke.
BPM (FDF - Hypno-Toad) @ Oct 5th 2007 12:19PM
I don't think it's possible for them to change the URL of the post. At least, I've never seen it in action when they make typos.
Michael C. Sherrin @ Oct 5th 2007 9:31AM
Who needs to ever buy another game. Brawl is like, everything in one. I was on the fence expecting just Melee with Wii motion flailing, but no, this is way too awesome for its own good.

Sean @ Oct 5th 2007 1:45PM
Yeah, none of that flailing: the game uses the gamecube contoller. But that won't stop it from being the best thing on the Wii EVER!
phattie @ Oct 5th 2007 9:33AM
Player 1: same as single player
Player 2: uses pointer to "interact"
Lame.
samfish (MSDF- Nurse Outfit!) @ Oct 5th 2007 9:37AM
Do you not know how to read? Christ, you're stupid.
T3H WICKERMAN (FDF) @ Oct 5th 2007 9:39AM
every week u troll the shit out of me. on topic i wish they would just announce the full playable character lineup already.
megaStryke @ Oct 5th 2007 9:41AM
He is describing Super Mario Galaxy. I guess in his rush to get to McDonald's breakfast before they ran out of artery-clogging McGriddles, fatass here didn't bother to look at which game they're actually talking about.
Rubang B (NDF - Heart) @ Oct 5th 2007 2:00PM
I don't think phattie can read. Seriously. He's always talking about the wrong game or the wrong system. I think he has all these repetitive trollings set to some macros of some sort, and inserts them at random.
Joshua @ Oct 5th 2007 9:45AM
Double Dragon.
32_Footsteps @ Oct 5th 2007 9:56AM
Personally, I still think they missed out by refusing the name "The Subcon Emissary." Though that would have resulted in expectations of Clawgrip.
Of course, keep in mind that the Cervantes reference might not fit. Panza certainly didn't charge any windmills, and he also didn't bother messing with the lion. He also got the sense to find a wife of his own rather than swoon over a Dulcinea.
This has been a production of "Gamers that read literature." Please support us at your local library - by reading a book for once.
megaStryke @ Oct 5th 2007 10:00AM
Fuck literature. I prefer theater.
"I am I, Don Quixote,
The Lord of La Mancha,
My destiny calls and I go!
And the wild winds of fortune
Will carry me onward,
Oh, whithersoever they blow!"
32_Footsteps @ Oct 5th 2007 10:30AM
I suppose you could sit and watch, if you want to see what someone else thought of Don Quixote. Myself, I like the original.
And to be perfectly frank, I loved Don Quixote. It's hilarious.
BPM (FDF - Hypno-Toad) @ Oct 5th 2007 12:20PM
Agreed. I'm one who hates reading books, but I absolutely loved Don Quixote. Great, great book.
WiNG @ Oct 5th 2007 10:09AM
Actually the way they describe it, with player 1 being the primary player, and player 2 being able to instant catch up to player 1 if left behind...
It's the co-op scheme from Sonic 2!
SONIC CONFIRMED FOR BRAWL!
Now the question is can the flying characters temporarily airlift you to higher platforms??
(j/k, maybe)
Airen @ Oct 5th 2007 10:30AM
Actually, I've heard that it more resembles Kirby Super Star.
Zertoss @ Oct 5th 2007 10:31AM
It's amazing what us Sonic fans can read into something.
WiNG @ Oct 5th 2007 10:41AM
what makes u think im a sonic fan?

Crono (NDF - French Taunting from Holy Grail Ring) @ Oct 5th 2007 11:06AM
C'mon guy, even non-sonic fans want sonic in this game. Screw the olympics, Sonic VS Mario needs to be an all out brawl.
mr nimblewick (SegaDF - Jogurt Ring) @ Oct 5th 2007 11:12AM
Since Sega gets to make a game with Mario, I think it's only fair that nintendo makes one with Sonic.
BPM (FDF - Hypno-Toad) @ Oct 5th 2007 12:23PM
No, WiNG. You're wrong.
Sonic AND Tails, confirmed.
Rubang B (NDF - Heart) @ Oct 5th 2007 2:01PM
I wouldn't say Sonic confirmed (yet), but I think Sonic's definitely getting confirmed the week before the game comes out.
But yes, this is totally Sonic 2 co-op style. Smells like Tails to me.
pcguy89 @ Oct 5th 2007 2:32PM
In Sonic, the character would not immediately warp back, and the second player would usually find themselves very far behind the first. Not only that, but the second player would be just re-appear when he died instead of losing a life.
This system is definitely more like Kirby Superstar due to the characters being more closely tethered together and because the second player can actually lose lives.
JLTorrente @ Oct 5th 2007 10:47AM
Sounds like a classical Arcade BRAWLER like Cadillacs & Dinosaurs or Final Fight(GOD, I miss those games...) for me
Dman @ Oct 5th 2007 10:52AM
That had to be the most phallic ship in a video game this year.
Mr Khan @ Oct 5th 2007 11:22AM
I think we all saw this coming, if only based upon the video above
But put this online with friends, and i'll have transcended
Sean @ Oct 5th 2007 11:42AM
Sounds like a porn I saw once.
Platy @ Oct 5th 2007 11:44AM
The world needs more coop ... and impressivly the wii is receiving a considerable amount of those games (who were kinda of totaly ignored last gen) like soul calibur legends, mario galaxy (well...) smash, resident evil umbrella ....
Libb @ Oct 5th 2007 12:06PM
Ground Control to Maaaaajor Tom....

Needs more Battletoads
BPM (FDF - Hypno-Toad) @ Oct 5th 2007 12:24PM
Is this Battletoads?
TwEE @ Oct 5th 2007 12:49PM
You of all people should see there is a clear toad deficiency in this game..
chispito @ Oct 5th 2007 1:21PM
I'm not entirely sure what his title is, but Goose wasn't the wingman. He was the navigator/weapons guy/whoever sits behind the pilot in a Tomcat.
