Reporting on any Non-Nintendo sanctioned Smash Bros Brawl info has been like reporting on UFO or Bigfoot sightings. For literally years now, "Is this footage real?", and "Can I confirm the source?" are the first things that go through any game bloggers mind when deciding on whether or not to post Brawl related news. Well, it looks like this period of skepticism and uncertainty may finally be over, as honest to god video of honest to god regular human beings playing an honest to god demo copy of Smash Bros Brawl have finally hit the interwebs. The official report from IGN is that on Jan 26th, demo kiosks of Brawl popped up stores in Japan. I can't wait to see pics of the lines that are bound to form just for this demo.
Hit the jump for multiple embedded Youtubes of the demo in action.
[Spotted on LarkOhiya's world famous C-blog]
Ike vs King Dedede on the Bridge of Eldin stage. Music is the Ocarina medley.
Pokemon Trainer vs Link on the Smashville stage. Music sounds the GameCube's Animal Crossing "day time" music (a track yet to be released on the Smash Bros Dojo)
Ike vs Kirby on the Smashville stage. Music is Go! KK Rider.
King Dedede vs Bowser on the Smashville stage. As the old hags would say "A Titan against a Titan!". Music is the new Animal Crossing tune again(?)
This will probably be the last weekend on Earth before video of the actual Japanese version of Brawl litters the world of the interent with it's power. You you guys excited or what?

Ugg...the wait for this game is annoying, but at least my quarter will be over when it's released. A few weeks couched with Brawl will be SO good.
Also, nice pic of the bear that Ahnuld fights against in Hercules in New York ;)
Also, I refuse to watch any more footage at this point.
At least.
I really want to try out Pokemon Trainer too. Screw Snake, Squirtle is by far the most bad ass character in Brawl.
It's fast and no nonsense like old school gaming and yet slick, detailed, well polished with a shed load of options and features which is entirely 21st century.
And for such an epic game, it still retains a sense of humour and doesn't take itself too seriously. Love it.
And, agree Snake looks quite weak.
I've had a similar feeling towards all the final smashes really... none of them were turning the tide of the battle as greatly as claimed. It hasn't been bothering me much though, because it would have been annoying as just some cheap move.
I look forward to beating Snake players with the gayest character in Brawl... possibly Jigglypuff or Kirby. Yes. I will destroy Snake with a pink air ball that sqeaks. Better yet, I will destroy Snake with Snake Kirby.
...motherf... never buying a UK console again...
And final smashes seem pretty fucking abundant.
I Lol'd
@zardoz: Snake looks fun to play as, and Venom was one of the best characters in Marvel VS. Capcom.
but seriously, the longer I wait, the less interested in it I get.
