Downloads!

I thin kit'd be pretty cool if, using the Wii Shop channel's Wii Ware section, you could buy new characters for the game. It would write the data to your memory file, and when you turn on the game, you could choose an option like "Newcomer" or something where you would fight your newly downloaded ppl to unlock them. You would have unlimited tries and could challenge them whenever you wanted! This could also pottentially work with stages and in-battle music.

Only if they are for free. I'm not paying for new characters in Brawl unless it comes on a disk.

They should also have new content avalible on a disk that you could purchase in a store. Kind of like the Halo2 Multiplayer map pack.

Why pay when it should be included for free in the disk? unless these where Like patches.

 

[Keige]

He means buy a disk from the store with new content on it.

 

[Wrench]

why would you WANT to have to pay for it? just make it free updates that are like patches on the wiishop

Unless these characters were say about 78437284794754932759437552 times better than the characters included, I wouldn't spend money on a character. Why bother making automatic updates via wii-connect 24 to get new characters? shouldn't they just include all the characters as unlockables to lose all the hassle? I, as a young teenager, would not, could not get the money to pay off my parents credit card bill to get jiggs. Besides, I'm pretty sure the game programmers will include all of the games features at its release. If it were for stages or items or such, and for free, I wouldn't mind.

But just expanding to your idea, what if the characters would appear in the wiiware only if brawl data was found? That way people couldn't download them accidentally.

I agree with JP8 (Wow, I never thought I'd say that).

It would be dumb to buy new characters, no one would do it.

 

[Keige]

The disk would probably be $20 maximum, and it would definitely be worth it. There would probably be 5-10 new characters (most likely 5) and a bunch of new levels and items.

That would make the game completely unbalanced. No. NO. Who would waste $60+ for a few characters, items that wouldn't be used, and levels that would be ignored?

Just keep everything in the game that supposed to be there. Smash is for elite characters ONLY, not a bunch of misc. characters that Nintendo would churn out every month.

And totally screw over people who don't have any way to hook their wii up online. Bad idea.

Very bad, especially if it was more characters like Pichu, or any clones.

Actually, downloadable content would encourage players to go online with their Wii. Nintendo wants more people to go online, for then that opens up more consumers to their VC Channel and other lucrative possibilities.

Though, I wouldn't hold my breath for downloadables from Nintendo - not just yet. They're still taking baby steps to being online.

Downloading new character = bad idea...

Updates on character moveset on damage, knockback, and so forth to get the balance of characters = maybe...

 

[darkshy]

I kind of think of it like this...
What if when you got a new opponent you pay using those excess coins you have from meele or brawl. so instead of playing though a bunch of levels you pay let's say 50 coins then you go again.

about the downloads I don't think they'll give you new characters mabey levells and cut scenes but that's it.
