Dojo update: Fight above Corneria all over again

That shot of the Great Fox can mean only one thing. Well, two things, actually. Firstly, it means that the dojo is back, and that our mornings have some purpose once more. Secondly, it means that Brawl will include yet more Super Smash Bros. Melee stages, to accompany the return of Hyrule Temple.

Corneria, Yoshi's Island, Onett, Brinstar, and Rainbow Ride are the returning stages, with Corneria comfortably our favorite of the revived bunch. It's also worth nothing that Brawl's total number of confirmed stages is now 25, with (we'd estimate) another dozen or so dojo updates left to add to that total. And, in the unlikely situation you ever get bored of those, you can always make your own.

if i wanted old stages, i'd play old smash.

Guess what: I never played Smash! I want to play the old stages. If they include updated versions in this one, then the way more people that have Wii's than ever had Gamecube's will be able to enjoy some updated versions of familiar settings. These are just friggin' extras, obviously. Why whine about their inclusion? The very last sentence of Sakurai's is how everybody working on the project is amazed at the amount of content they've included. That sounds just fine to me. I will complain PERHAPS when I have done something better.

I know for a fact Sakurai's been working his arse off, and I for one can't wait to learn how to brawl. I know I'm lame for not playing it, but I have been out of games for a decade because I got motion sickness really bad at the 3d transition and I didn't realize for 10 years dramamine taken once would cure me. So that's why I, a red blooded gamer, have never Brawled, Melee'd or even Smash Brothered. But I can't wait for the 10th!

Well, have fun with that. In the meantime, I'll be playing them online in the new Smash using new Smash characters, new Smash items, and new Smash techniques in new Smash gaming modes.

chill dude...chill.

i am chill. you hear me? I AM CHILL! GOD DAMMIT I SAID I FEGGIN' AM CHILL GOD FEGGIN' DAMMIT! FARK YOU! ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

LOL in a related note, if you don't like enthusiasm go to a site
that doesn't have the words FANBOY at the end of the url.

You are welcome

Goodbye

I wonder if Onett means Ness will come back...

We can only hope.

Of course, the lack of an F-Zero related stage means we may miss out on the Captain. And if I can't FALCON... PUNCH~! someone, I'm going to be quite upset.

FALCON KICK!

Never gets old.

oh geez. my friend is going to be estatic. not only is corneria his favorite stage but also he's a monster at it. seriously his fox somehow gets faster and more OP.

chill, dude. LOL just kidding! WOOo! It's almost as cool as when you really like something when your friend really likes something and you can tell them about it and watch them freak out. LOL! ROCK ON!

I loved this stage in melee. Very happy to see it again. Next month cant come soon enough

Cool Corneria!

I seriously think that Star Fox is one of Sakurai's favorite nintendo franchise. His dojo comment's lead me to believe that.

Id think it would be Kirby..

...you know, with him creating it and all.

of course kirby should be his top fave, but it seems like Star Fox is his fave aside from what he developed.

Damn, Corneria

Nothing inherently wrong with the stage, mind, but it's the one my friends use all the time whenever they go to play Melee, it's ALWAYS either Final Destination, Temple, or Corneria, no items

This is why i play alone more often than not

Corneria's an ok stage. It's one of the over-played stages, so I easily get bored of it. I liked Rainbow Cruise. I love that it is so unique from other stages and requires unique strategies. There is no need to complain about new versions of old stages, they are just ad-ons to everything else Brawl has to offer. It just makes it less necessary to play Melee. At this rate, Melee will be a cassete tape and Brawl will be an iPhone.

I really wish they would bring back most the stages, including the ones from the original that werent in melee. But the were 29 stages in melee, im expecting there to be a reasonable amount more in brawl, who knows what we might see.
