I quite like Brawl's sound effects. Are they likely to be changed for the US release?

[Dudechapguyman]

I don't know anything about the Japanese versions of the original or Melee, but I've read multiple times that one of them had more realistic sound effects, and that those sound effects had to be changed for the English release. Is this likely to happen again with Brawl? Have we heard any word on it? I like the hitting sound effects in Brawl, so this pretty much decides whether I get the Japanese version or wait for the NTSC-U version (which may not even work on a Wiikey'd PAL Wii anyway).

I like how every one of Ike's sword attacks sound like the footstep of an irate elephant, trampling all those who stand in its way.

That is, when they connect.

Unless swords clanks and punches sound different in Japan....No. I don't think so

 

[Moldy Clay]

SSB64 in Japan had realistic sounds while we got "bowling pin" sounds.

I really doubt we'd get new sounds for Brawl though. Although, I also didn't think they'd change Snake's mines. So what do I know?

 

[kirborg]

there are loads of sound effects in this game... a lot more then melee/ 64 i would think. Good luck replacing all of those.

 

[Storm Eagle]

If they replace Ike's car crash sounds, I will buy the Japanese version.

 

[LaughterIsDeadly]

on the website www.smashbros.com on the english side they have sonics voice in english and the sound effects are the same in the videos where he's comboing. just look at any of the ingame footage from the english pages on their site.

 

[FigmentJedi]

It would be really nice if they kept the actual lightsaber-ish sounds for the beam swords this time around.

 

[Ice Ninja]

I think what they're talking about replacing actually is the lightsaber sounds.

 

[otter]

It's a good explanation for the most recent delay. "localization issues"

 

[igloo9]

No...! I want them to keep every sound! If they change any of the cool sounds, then hello Japanese version And yes, even the beam sword japanese sounds would be cool too.

 

[Kruton]

I know all of Snake's grunts and sounds will be replaced by David Hayter.

Someone at TGP also told me that Pit doesn't 'freak out' as much when he's doing his side special.

 

[VDZ]

I hope we get an option for Japanese voices. I don't want a crappy dub actor shouting out a high-pitched 'I choose you, Charizard :D :D <3'.

 

[Norm]

the voice acting will be redone but i cant really see them changing the normal sound effects unless there's some form of copyright infringement.

Awww, but I like the freak out.

NE-NE-NE-NE-NE-NE-NE!!

So...should I buy the japanese version so I can have the cool voices and sound effects?
