11/03 - More of a Light Push, Really

In my last post I mentioned waiting for new Super Smash Bros. Brawl information from Nintendo World, the gaming event being held in Japan as I type. Well, no convulsions from me (unless I really, really want to). GameTrailers has release a video from the show featuring new in-game footage, including new moves from the playable characters (Here's a hint: Snake is kind of sneaky) and features such as breakable platforms and new levels. That is exciting, though the secrets I was anticipating, demanding even, were new characters. Well, Nintendo answered that with a gimped whisper, announcing Fox McCloud of StarFox game as playable. Color me Cerulean Blue, or maybe Brick Red. No, Firetruck Red! Yeah.... Seriously, though, I'm unsurprised, as would anyone be, as Fox has been in both of the other Smash Bros. incarnations. This isn't exactly a huge secret, Nintendo. You better be prepared to release unexpected characters, or at least some that are of moderate-surprise level quality. Or else I'm gonna cry a bit. Well, I may shed a tear. OK, I'll just whine a lot, but seriously, where's the 480p beef?
