Nintendo Media | Smash Update: Gorgeous Adventure Mode Revealed

By Jorge Ba-oh 03.08.2007 28

With the Smash Bros. franchise praised for its never-ending multiplayer frenzy, Nintendo want to create an expansive single player mode to really make Brawl a must-have. To end a week of orgasmic updates on the Official Smash Bros. Dojo site, the company have revealed some new screens and a short clip of the game's adventure mode.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl: The Subspace Emissary is a robust side-scrolling action game!

More than anything, Smash Bros. is a competitive action game. People have been kind enough to praise its multiplayer, but we've never been able to create a fully fleshed out single-player game.

This time, though, we've managed to create a complete side-scrolling action game. It's storyline isn't overwrought

Wow, that looks amazing!

1st Smilie

Add me on anything. I'm always looking for new friends/opponents/town visitors/chances to appear more popular than I actually am.

Looks like this is really going to be THE game to get. I wonder how much this will boost sales of Wiis when it comes out.

Woooooooo!!!

I like the look of this, a story mode with more interaction between characters. Cannot wait.

Steam: Guess what?

Without a doubt THE best update on the Brawl site by far - absolutely loving this. Smilie All we need now is WiFi multiplayer (which is still oddly unconfirmed) and it'll be the perfect package for any hardcore Smash Bros fan!

..Oh, and Sonic. Gotta have Sonic. Smilie

I still find it hard to believe how much better it looks than Melee. Can't really say much one the single player mode, but I'm sure it'll be great XD

All of that looks stunning and makes my mouth water at the prospect of finally being able to play this game. How long can a dedicated european Nintendo fan wait!. {LS]

Damn fine update! I'm glad they're putting their all into this! Smash was absolutely mental for single player mode, especially in the events - so I hope those make a welcome return! Downloadable extras would be sweet; I'm sure an event file wouldn't take up too much space!

Anyhoo, back to this update in hand - looks absolutely gorgeous; definitely want to find out more!

Love it!

Holy shit wow!! I wasn't expecting this!! I'm absolutely watering at the mouth...

Looks really awesome, that's 3 characters today, & a sneak peak at what looks like a great 1 player mode. I'm wondering how long it'll be, & if secret characters would be in it too, & how the story works etc. Also, as a few people suggested on the other thread, that screenie with Mario, Kirby, Peach & Zelda could imply a 4 player CoOp. That would be excellent.

So each character has his/her own story mode? NICE!!!

Loving it!


Oh, and this is all included in the same Game Disc, so rest easy.

Well, that's our confirmation that Peach will be back for Brawl. But I guess I was somewhat right when I guess that was the intro the single player mode they revealed a while back. Best week of updates yet! Smilie

This game just drips high production values everywhere. They could have simply had no single player mode at all, and it still would have (possibly) been the Wii's best seller. Kudos to all involved, it looks great! Smilie

Umm on the site, in the second last picture for subspace emissary, there is a green haired girl facing pit. Who is the girl???

I think I had a mental orgasm

I was simply AMAZED when I saw the Adventure Mode that was planned. Smilie

Also, I'm guessing Peach's character profile will be revealed on Monday. Smilie

I think it's Palutena from Kid Icarus. Never seen her, but a friend of mine noticed it, prolly from GameFAQs boards.

EDIT: She wasn't playable in Kid Icarus, so she's prolly a support character in Pit's story in this.

It is, she is the goddeses from Kid Icarus.

Story driven adventure mode? Did not see that one comming.

Cinematics look absolutely jaw-dropping. It can compare well to a 360 game. Master Hand still has a good chanvce to still be the Classic mode villian, since those sir kibbles appear in groups instead of being just one huge enemy.

I bet there's gonna be some awesome air battle between the Great Fox and the Halberd, and that last picture where Mario was in his DBZ stance was so awesome.

Maybe not Monday, but sometime early next week, me thinks.

LMAO. I thought, just for a split second, that Pit was looking at Zelda in that shot. Boy, am I stupid. Smilie

This update calls for a Smilie! I can't wait! I hope story mode actually has a story this time.

Agreed. I want some actual character depth, sort of like how the characters in SoulCaliber had stories. By the sound of it, there will indeed be a story. Smilie

Maybe as Link and Zelda you can face bosses from the series. Also it seem the wire frames have been replaced by those purple things.

If you want to trade in Diamond,Pearl,and Platinum I will trade to get a Munchlax, Charmander, Squirtle, Chikorita, Cyndaquil. If you do pm me. Also if you have Metroid prime Trilogy we can trade friend vouchers.

Awesomeness Smilie

It looks like I'll being paying the full price for this game. I haven't done that for a couple of years!
This game will make me less jealous of Xbox 360 owners. About stinkin' time.

Orgasmic... Ninty hinted they were going to flesh out the single player. This game seems to have really high production values... all that is missing now is online?
