Web services allow for easy Brawl stage sharing

by Kyle Orland { Mar 11th 2008 at 6:30PM }

Sure, the Super Smash Bros. Brawl stage editor is a great way to extend the value of the game, but it's only really valuable if you and your friend-code friends have the creativity to come up with interesting stages. Those of us with no creative talent and/or no friends are out of luck!

Enter the web, which has already filled in some of the stage-sharing holes Nintendo left in the game. IGN's recently launched Smash Bros. supersite already has a selection of over 100 user-created stages that players can download to their SD cards, while the Smash World forums Stage Browser currently has 85 or so stages available. Each site offers picture previews, easy instructions for uploading and a rating system to separate the wheat from the chaff. Now if someone could just hack a way to play these user-created stages in online matches we'd really be in business!

Wait, you can't use created stages online? That's kinda lame.

Because obviously people are too stupid to create surprise penis-shaped stages, after those download + wait times it takes to start a stage, which just creates a heavy weight for the fast-paced experience and more pressure upon the console's powerhousing capabilities.

well brawl is one of the first title that nintendo has right now which it plays pretty good. they are still experimenting with what they can do online i hope that they get better at it and when mario kart comes out all of this details will be fix!

Doubtful; Mario Kart Wii is already finished.

Joystiq.com is now Brawl.com

Well, unlike with Halo 3, the hype is completely worth it.

AK @ Mar 11th 2008 9:43PM

That's funny, because everything I have read/seen says that the single player isn't that great, but the multiplayer is what really makes the game.

Kind of like Halo 2/3...

Brawl has always been intended for a multiplayer experience. After all, I don't know any novel from which it was based, for a storyline.

Now if someone could just hack a way to us a mic for voice chatting on SSBB

Wonderflex @ Mar 11th 2008 7:25PM

agreed 100% - it's annoying to brawl friends in silence or to have to use the phone. I should be an easy fix if they release a patch.

Dreamcast 2.

I mean Xbox 360.

Though I wish Nintendoh (see what I did there? Yeah, rate me down) would do the mics thing.

Tiptup300 @ Mar 11th 2008 9:42PM

The wii doesn't support game patches.

Grog @ Mar 11th 2008 11:44PM

Ventrilo. Skype. TeamSpeak.

Try Googling any of those terms. Next, install them. Then you can spend time playing instead of bitching.

@ johnny

at least i'm specting no more friend codes!

TrojanGuy @ Mar 11th 2008 7:34PM

Awesome! I'm glad that there's a way to share stages.

Mr Khan @ Mar 11th 2008 7:37PM

Between this and Bin2Jpeg (for snapshot conversion to a PC readable format), the Brawl content-sharing (already fairly large in the game itself) is going to last forever

NvM @ Mar 11th 2008 7:39PM

I love the Stage Editor and I'd love to share my my two Penis Stages(they actually work too!) but my computer has no SD slot which makes me sad.
(I'll buy an adpater some day)

Microswirl @ Mar 11th 2008 9:24PM

The penises work?

...as penises?

uhhhh.....

Don't say that! That'd be the end of gaming! It'd be too amazing and there'd never be a need for any other game, or life for that matter.
