An idea with Brawl they could've went with

[RetroAntonio]

They could've made it so if you had a Melee save, it would have Mewtwo and more Melee stages, maybe even N64 stages. Any ideas YOU think would have worked?

 

[n88]

That wouldn't have happened because Mewtwo was originally intended to be in the game, and got cut for an unknown reason last-minute.

 

[Scott!]

So, it would be better if they hid significant amounts of content in a game (not just useless trophies like in Melee, but actual playable characters and stages), and made it so that this content could only be unlocked if you have save data from another game that isn't even on the same system? That's just silly. If you wanted to play Brawl with all its content, you'd have to buy Brawl, Melee, a GC controller, and a GC memory card just to unlock a character and some stages? No.

 

[Depster]

Sounds like something nintendo would do!

(looks at the olimar trophy in melee you can only get by having pikmin data on your memory card)

 

[orange/xd]

I don't really think it would work.

(looks at Space Channel 5 Part 2's need of the part 1 saves to have special costumes.

It would have been nice if having, say, Marth unlocked on Melee automatically unlocked him on Brawl.

haha, that sounds like pokemon to me.

Still better than banjo-kazooie 1 needing saves from Banjo-kazooie 2 to unlock some content.
Srsly.

In kirby canvas curse if you have an amazing mirror GBA game in the DS and you load CC you get waddle dee.

I guess that's impossible with the DSI now

Which is the reason I didn't, and won't, buy a DSi.

It's just so inconvenient, and that makes it impossible to Pal Park in D/P/Pt.

Bleh

I see what you mean... sorta.
True smash bros fans would then get a bonus for actually having a past with the series.
Not some person who only saw a trailer on the internet, or just watched a friend play it.

I know I'd like to get Fourside back on the stage selection list.

...Although, it seems a bit unfair to keep some people out of things like that.
It never feels good to be left out.
It also doesn't feel good to spend money on a memory card, controller, and Melee disc for something not that important.

but it's not like all your only getting the melee disc, controller, and memory card for the extras on brawl.
You'd be getting it to play melee and the BONUS is those extras.
And I'm pretty sure 80% of smashboards has a gc controller

True, true.
But the way I see it, the majority (maybe not the /majority/...) of people who don't know this site exists would only be buying melee for the extras if this was the case. The way they see it, Brawl is the better way to go. With more characters, and the ability to play with people around the world, they'll feel as if they don't have to be questioned of their favorite in the series! They might play melee about, oh... eight times before dropping it? Some people just don't appreciate nostalgia anymore.

Unlike the majority of us, who still keep the original sequel around.

We might even be digging up our Nintendo 64 to play the classic!
I know I'd like to have mine back. It still remains my favorite.
