Great idea actually. How long have we been B&M
that we need a playable preview for VC games. Now if only they made this a feature that was built in to the shop channel, allowing you to try whatever game you please, I would be super happy.

Watch the video at:

Pause the video 12 seconds into it. Is that the official roster for the game?!

That has to be fake. Just look at Zelda's character selection box, it was already proven that her box has her and Sheik shown. So that has to be fake.

That was faked. They put it in the video questioning what the complete roster really is. That guy who looks like Batman is Black Shadow of F-Zero.

I want Earthbound!

So.. I guess this is the end.
What will I look forward to looking up every day now?

Also, I kind of wish this game came out in Japan and America on the same day..

The Japanese page shows that Fire Emblem 1 that stars Marth and Mother 2 aka Earthbound and Ness will be Masterpieces.

Screw this trial versions of games marketing idea. Just give me the full version of Mother 02 aka Earthbound. Then I'll be happy.

I'm cool with this, though I have to say I've played and beaten most of the games that are listed there.

So, i guess Nintendo is confirming Ness...(Lucas wasn't in MOTHER2...right?)

Makes me want Earthbound so much more...

The roster is fake. GT just placed it there for laughs before their feature video...

As for this feature, I feel it's more inclined to "this-generation's" players who decided to get the Wii just for Brawl. When they notice this feature, they may want to try out these classics before they're convinced to purchase them off the Wii shop...

I think this is an awesome idea. It is always great to know the history of the numerous characters and elements that make Super Smash Bros.

Interestingly, IGN lists Earthbound as one of the playable demos! Hopefully that means Earthbound will be released on the VC soon...

At first, I thought, "Finally!" After the VC SMS games announcement this morning I thought Now, though, I'm kind of baffled as to why they chose to do this only through Brawl. Additionally, I'm disappointed that a trial system isn't being implemented into the Shop Channel permanently. At least some demos are better than none.

My guess is that this is a dry test of a possible VC demo system, to see how people react to the idea

Or this is just the icing on the cake, a last-minute feature thrown into the biggest game of the Wii's life (ok, Wii Sports is bigger, but they didn't know that going in)

i think this is a great idea. i won't be using though, as i have emulators.

is gametrailers a reliable, respected source for information? why would they doctor a fake roster "just for laughs"? if they were going for laughs they could've put in master chief at least...

I don't know if the time limit will really encourage people to play the games. The casual gamers who haven't played Mario and Zelda to death already don't mind time limits; I think the decision to include a time limit as a gameplay feature in Pac-Man CE for the 360 demonstrates that pretty well.
