The first two are true but the third one isn't, it's being made by Sora which is a team Sakurai started.
Check the original Brawl dojo. It's being developed by a mysterious developer known as "The Studio". Sakurai stats so himself. No doubt Sora is working on the game as well.
What makes you say that?
It's Nintendo's online combination of Gears of War and Halo 3. They fail this, then their online will never compete with
Nothing but assumptions, for all we know there could be 30 characters.
This is Brawl, not Melee 2.0.
The article that supposedly mentioned the 10 hour this was never proven true and even if it was it was a developer talking about their game, when was the last time a game lived up to the estimated play time, Twilight Princess was supposed to take 70 hours according to the director. Oh and how is classic mode any better then last time (which sucked because it was basically just a series of vs matches)
The Subspace Emissary will be long. With the number of characters we have thus far, it seems imminant that we'll get at least 5 hours out of it.
The items thing is opinion and the story thing is speculation
No exploding barells and randomness. Basically every item has two uses. The bumper can edgeguard. The bumper can be used for comboes. The gooey bomb can be used as a projectile, or for mindgames and stuff when next to a opponent, especially as a speedy character (vs. a slower character).
Twilight Princess had the most employees of any Nintendo game ever made at 150 people.
I can almost guarentee you, with all the people "contributing" their work, Brawl has had over 150 people working on it througout the entire project. This game is basically the Wii's game that will deciede victory or failure with actual gamers, and even some "non-gamers". Melee saved the GCN from being the next Dreamcast-and Brawl will make the Wii rise to the the clear winner of this generation of gaming if it hits as hard as Melee, and it WILL hit harder. It will be the biggest game of 2008, BY FAR!
The musician thing is speculation and the companies thing is just wrong, one company is making it and others are contributing things oh and which 12? I hope your're not including companies that have lent composers..
"The Studio", HAL, GameFreak, the Pokémon Company, APE, Sora, SEGA, the Sonic Team, Koonami, Kojima Productons, Intelligent Games, Creo (under Eiji Anouma; hint: Shiek and Ganondorf rumor) Nintendo, (APE's new comapny), and maybe more? And every company that worked on Melee and Smash 64...which was...A LOT! XD
Or until they decided to cut the service.
Which will be for a long time-as this is a fun mode that seems like it will never get old.
Uhh not really sure what you are saying here but it is not original.
The series has no absoulute genre. It is a fighter, but it is also a action, adventure, shooter, swordfighting, party, and so on game. And you win/score like a sports game!
Oh God John, now you've completely lost it.
At one point or another, it's true. SEGA is using some of it's staff to help, especially the Sonic Team. Koonami's staff is helping, especially Kojima Production Studios. "The Studio" is working SOLEY on this game after making a huge game in 2004 2005, HAL is working pretty much on this game all out like with Melee and smash 64. APE is contributing, and so is the Pokémon Company, Game Freak, Intelligent Systems, and so on. I wouldn't be surprised if a few 3 or so more companies joined in.
Plus I sense Miyamoto finished helping Sakurai with this game after he finished Super Mario Galaxy, and Satoura Iwata (the President of Nintendo) is keeping a close eye on Brawl, and wants Sakurai to make a great game-and will provide whatever needed. Satoura Iwata's actually started at Nintendo working for Masahiro Sakurai in a Kirby game, oddly enough, and he convinced him to make Brawl! Small world, eh?
No only Sora is, the other companies involved are big enough that they don't need to/ can't afford to focus solely on someone else's game.
And HAL Laboratories is focusing bascially soley on this, as well as "The Studio". And the Pokemon Company, APE, Koonami, Kojima Productons, SEGA, Intelligent Games, the Sonic Team, Nitendo, and so on are pitching in. I wouldn't be surprised if more companies were helping.
*Facepalm*
I could go on but you mostly repeat yourself for the rest of your points. Ugh I didn't want to have to do something like this but you just make such outrageous claims.
