We understand those tie-ins, each of the new games are markedly different from their predecessors, but we have a hard time believing we'll be enjoying Brawl in March and wish that we could play a shittier version. But hey, maybe that's just us.

i dont see why people would want to play the original on the same day the brand new one comes out, but who knows. The best option would have been to release the original on December 3rd or whatever day it was that brawl was supposed to come out originally.

I agree to the extent that it feels like that has been the only thing I say in my comments anymore.

yeah i know i wouldnt want to play the original on the same day i get the new one but i would certainly play it for a week leading up to the new one. hell i still play Melee all the time with my friends, so i would love to play this one again (i never had an N64 so i only got to play this one at my cousins house a few times).

Oh boohoo so there were delays, deal with it, many games have to go through it and there are a lot of worse things that could have happened, like the game being rushed and shoddy, or cancled. I mean so it got delayed by 4 months, the PS3 got delayed for half a year and no one said they should get something free for that. What about the GTAIV players should they get something free too?
Face it delays happen and get used to it because its better to have a delay than a cruddy game. The developers are not forced to abide by the first release date, the new Nights game and GTA 4 are examples of that.

Likely releasing this for those poor SOBs who can't afford a brand spanking new copy of Brawl when it comes out, and just need to lick their chops and get a taste of the goodness.
Which I'm assuming would be agonizing to only have the N64 version to go off of :P

The smarter idea is to release it a week or two before Brawl, to get people "in the mood" and "tease" us. They did that with Metroid Prime 3 by releasing them about a week or two before... so should they here.

the thing i'd like to know is why melee is still $30. It has surely sold enough copies to become a players choice title.

Supply and demand, amigo. As long as people still buy it at the $30 price point, then Nintendo's not going to change it.

Same with Mario Kart DD... it still $30, but both games are very good.
Mario Kart DD is the most played game on my Gamecube, and no one can beat me. =)

"I never owned this game, but is that seriously the cover art? It looks like it was drawn in a second grade classroom with Sharpies and colored pencils. How is that up to Nintendo's standards after classic covers like Mario 64 or even the NES Marios?"
OBJECTION! The witness' testimony contradicts this evidence!

Hold It!
That's a game developed by Capcom and publish by Nintendo.
Also Megaman covers in the 80's and early 90´s were usually fugly.

I'm sorry Mr. Wright, the evidence you present does not contradict the testimony given by user name Upz. You are going to have to get a penalty.
Perhaps next time you should try using a Nintendo, and more specifically a horrid Mario game cover to help assist in your argument.

This would be pretty cool if it had some wii-specific upgrades a la Pokemon Snap such as wi-fi multiplayer, but I doubt that would happen.

Videogame journalists don't like Smash Bros. (not just Joystiq writers) and I don't understand why. Repeatedly I have heard them express their lack of clarity as to why these games are so popular (other than the fanboy service.) I've gotten into this with Jeff Gerstmann among others and this seems to be a recurring theme. What the f?! This makes me want to mock your smocks. All of them.

I just love the idea that somewhere along the way, Kojima played this game and said, "Dude, how sweet would it be if Snake was in this motherfucker?"

Well, in the area of being sweet, at least one of them was right.

what I'm hoping for is some kind of tie-in.
Like Melee had the special trophies for having a save file for certain games like Pikmin. Brawl could do that as well, but also add super special bonuses for loading up a gamecube memory card with a melee file and/or downloading SSB64

"Get N or get out", The original said "Nintendo or GTFO".
Amazing catch phrase by the way.
But I disagree:
That is not the greatest commercial in the world, that is just a tribute, I couldn't remember the greatest commercial in the world..oh wait I just did.
