This is news too large for our weekly Smash Bros. Dojo roundup. Visitors to the Dojo today will read of Super Smash Bros. Brawl: The Subspace Emissary, a brand new single player experience for the upcoming Wii fighter. While there have been paltry single player modes before, this promises to be a fully fleshed out, standalone game in its own right, bringing together the Nintendo universe in one story.
The Adventure mode also emphasizes character development. You’ll see many famous characters persevering under the weight of their personal histories, shouldering their unique burdens... It’s really something you won’t see anywhere else.
With so many wonderful characters appearing together, it’s like a dream action game. We’re putting tons of fighting spirit into making this game, so I hope you’re all looking forward to it.
A dream action game. Those are high words to live up to, but just lumping so many nostalgic characters together for one adventure will be enough for most people. So tell me, Destructoid, are you excited for this? Has this made Super Smash Bros. Brawl all the more appealing, or is it disposable fluff? Enquiring minds want to know.

I second the "As long as it's not half-assed" notion.
I remember that awful phase when Reggie was skirting around the possibility that Metroid Prime Corruption would have multiplayer. I love Metroid's single player, so I'm not really complaining. It just irks me that online was alluded to for it to get our hopes up. Nintendo certainly didn't do anything to squash the rumors until recently.
Nothing came out of E3 about Smash being online. Meanwhile Reggie was boasting about how great it would be to play Mario Kart online next year.
Is this just paranoia or do we have something to worry about? Is this beefed-up single player a way of placating us?
@Tristero: I pray every night for some hint of online functionality. They can't in their right mind release a game like this without online play.
As for the online portion, I have a feeling that Tristero's fears will come true. If this is something to destract us from online possibilities, then that would blow big time. I'm pretty sure the game will sell out nonetheless, but a big dissapointment like that might prevent future games from being as lucky.
I could never get into Smash bros, I felt like I was missing something when I played it. I was absolutely pathetic at it though, which goes a long way to explaining why it didn't sit right with me. The same friends who loved Smash Bros also hated Soul Calibur, my personal favourite fighter. Different strokes I guess.
But, an action game with a huge cast on Nintendo characters?? Sign me up! Especially if Ness is involved and I'll finally get to revisit some Earthbound locales. EARTHBOUND!!
I freaked out about that too during the Ninty press conference. I kept mentioning it and people kept ignoring me, QQing about Wii Fit.
I have yet to preorder the game specifically because I'm not sure if it has online or not.
I have heard that IGN has confirmed online, but I won't believe it until it's on the DOJO!!. Our best bet is that the announcement at the end of September is that Smash will be online, and that Prime 3 will get an online update.
That is all.
Brawl will be great but c'mon, this is secondary school try and make up stuff on the bus journey to school because you didn't do your homework. In other words, they've been given the job of revealing snippets of the game until launch, they're going to have to milk it and go into blag mode, for example:
A screenshot of Mario jumping, "This jump represents the hopes and dreams of all brawl fighters, you have never experienced a jump like this, not only can you jump but you can now jump with pride and honour." That's monday's update covered then.

I might be stuck in the past, but if this game lacked online multiplayer it wouldn't break it for me. I mean if its a kick ass game even with average fighting game single player and no online capabilities, its still a kick ass game. I'm not at the point where online capabilities are the main purchasing point for game, despite how some people seem to live by it.

HOLY SHIT!!!!!!!!!!11wan
On second thought, I think that's shooped. I tried to do it myself.
I know! I rock Peach, but more for her floating and bitching turnips of doom, not really her but. She looks fatter this time, so maybe she's got more junk in the trunk to work with.
So stoked!
