Smash Bros. Gets Story-Driven Single Player Campaign 81

If you were wondering how they could make the upcoming Smash Bros. Brawl even better than its predecessors, the official Dojo site has some great news for Nintendo fans. Via Game|Life comes the news that Brawl will feature a fully-fleshed out single-player sidescrolling campaign. Called 'The Subspace Emissary', it appears to explore the stories of the individual characters and their interactions with each other. "This time, though, we've managed to create a complete side-scrolling action game. It's storyline isn't overwrought--it's hastened along by a bunch of quick movies ... 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." While obviously folks like Link and Mario will feature heavily, it's worth pointing out that this will be the first time in more than 15 years that Kid Icarus' Pit will get any sort of 'plot development' in a videogame.

"Harcore console gamer != buying the most expensive product.
More like harcode consumer."


The PS3 with a Blu-ray drive is the same price as the Xbox360 with an HD-DVD drive. Plus, the PS3 comes in one nice package.

I have a Xbox360, and an Xbox, so I'm not a "Sony fanboy". I do not have a PS3 and I'm not planning on buying one until the price drops. One expensive next-gen console is enough for me, thanks.

My point was not that you have to spend money to be a "hardcore console gamer". It was that the two equally priced but more expensive consoles cater to that demographic. The Wii does not.

Nintendo has targeted a different group of people since the N64/Gamecube. They still have some great games, but those games don't target the same audience. The people most likely to buy a PS3 and Xbox360 will most likely not buy a Wii.
