Those shots are not fake, that's clear. That, or that's some **** GOOD PHOTOSHOPPING SKILLS (aka, not really possible). I'd check SomethingAwful to make sure this isn't some hoax, but I can't access the site. Guess I'll make sure this isn't an Anon attack either. To 4chan, away! :p

That would've been awesome a while ago. But now so close to the release, it'd be a bit of a hype killer.

Doesn't look like a hoax. Don't see anything about it being "lulz worthy." (both in SA and 4chan)

Would be cool to get this. Doubt it would kill the hype (HOW WOULD IT KILL THE HYPE, SERIOUSLY? ****ING PARROTS), like so many of you are claiming. :/

Even a single stage and a single character would be too much data for the Wii to hold methinks.

Last time I looked, stages and characters were not whole gigs. Or not even half a gig or even close. If that was the truth, Brawl would be a tiny game. Nintendo has some professional grade compressors that work for them. They make huge games fit on tiny disks. Trust me, I think we have enough space for a demo. It wouldn't even use up as much as you guys think.

That's a really old screenshot and was proven fake months ago.
Ugh, why do I even bother. `-`; If that's true, screw everything I've been arguing about.

There was never any reason to think that Nintendo would do this. It will not happen. You guys are getting your hopes up for nothing.

I doubt we do. Even if you haven't downloaded ANY channels or VC game at all, I doubt a Brawl demo would fit.Think about it... It would have to be half a gig or less in order to fit. How often have you ever seen a demo thats only half a gig?

Good point, but, think about this:

They have SD memory cards for a reason.

Good thing I got one of those two-gigs at Christmas. :D

Think about this: you can't launch content directly from an SD card. You can't even launch VC games from them.

Yea, but it would be dumb to have a demo that can't even fit on your Wii. What WAS Nintendo thinking with giving us enough memory for a few channels, saves, and a few VC games?

Let's use this as an example. You got 8 gigs to work with. Look at the Dojo updates and what we have seen.

:| I think a demo of at least three stages with respective music and four~five characters with their sound effects and full programing, with a main menu for brawl mode and options could fit at least 1000 blocks on the wii. It's not that far fetched.

Last time I looked, you could fit a ton of VC games and saves, plus channels on the Wii. I would know. :laugh:

Wii has only 512MB of flash memory. It's very, very unlikely they could compress a 4.11GB (at minimum) and 8.7GB (at max) game to less than 512MB, ideally less than 300MB.

There you go. It's not going to happen.

I think the only people who should get a demo channel are the people living in Europe / Australia. People in North America should just be able to wait, unless there is another delay again...

Ohhh, I'd love to play the demo again, I have a fever and the only prescription is more smash brawl. I think the wii can fit it, that's a bad excuse.

Not to mention now there are pictures of it...

http://wiicharged.com/index.php?page=20

I think it's coming on Monday...I'm assuming like the MP3 Channel, it will be free. Not to mention, it seems VERY legit due to the fact that the game data looks to take up a lot of memory.

Also, isn't 1080 Snowboarding coming to VC next week? If so, Monday will be BLISS.
Those are real old. The author even admitted to them being fakes. Originally posted on IGN (or GT, not sure)

I can see what you all mean by it being close to the American and Japanese release date, but you can all say that if you live in America and its available that soon. For us Europeans though, its a different story....

Thats why I wanted one, I could wait a month or even 3, but after June is waaaay too long to wait for a game this good

Unfortunately, I think everyone will have to be prepared to be disappointed.

The Everyone's Nintendo Channel already has Smash promotional material prominently featured there (Page one of the channel and it's also featured in the channel's startup stream as the first item) - and it's just the Two E3 Trailers + The major Dojo trailer for one stream and the other stream is the two Dojo Subspace Movies.

Anyone expecting a demo will be sorely disappointed.
I'd just like to bring this back to everyone's attention. You're not getting a demo. They're going to at most do like the MP3 Preview channel and give us streaming movies. However, it'll all be rehashed stuff. I mean the exciting previews shown on Nintendo's premier preview service in Japan is using E3 Trailers. <_<;

It won't happen. And there are many threads of this, search >.<

If ANY Demo came for download, it will not hold all those characters. It would just be like, Mario VS. Kirby on BattleField. He won't let Sonic, Diddy Kong, and other newcomers be played by download. Remember, he wants to tease us, not spoil us.

uh, no.
As of now, Nintendo acts like Wii is a refrigerator and they see no need to please their hardcore crown and give us an extended hardrive.

*sigh* I wonder when they'll release Everyone's Nintendo Channel in America...it's my most wanted channel. ^_^
I know, but sadly all we can get are Wii and DS trailers, as well as DS demos. Don't get me wrong -- that's great -- but I'd also like to see some Wii demos in the future. Probably be in the WAY future.

hmmm...my bad, didn't realize you were Aussie. Hopefully Nintendo will release a hardrive a while before it hits PAL regions. Then you'll have a good chance of gettting Wii demos.

Hey, I'm an Aussie too...and I'm just being realistic.

We won't get a demo and if we do it'll be close to launch. The MP3 Preview channel was done close to MP3's launch, despite it being out (as well as the channel) in America months earlier.

I am also, if people get to play it, it won't be the "holy grail" anymore, and could possibly lower the hype.

It would be bad marketing.
maybe..but if you get a glimse...a small taste of sugar humans are proven to want more....and i base that on absolutley nothing....d.a.m.n.
