Yeah, maybe too uber. And he'd probably just be a remake of Samus...

(going by Gamecube controls)
B: Use current weapon
Side-B:Fire ze missiles
Down-B: Weapon Switch (switches the first weapon with something else)
He also gets experience from fighting.

*insert awesome picture of SSB with Quote in it*

Heh, I wonder if Pixel predicted this when he released it four years ago :P
Not really sure what to say/think yet aside from "Please for the love of God don't muck it up". Doesn't really affect me anyway seeing as I don't own/don't really intend on getting a Wii.
Please don't muck it up ;_;

Pixel's got it on his site too:

I'm interested to see what will become of this:

Guess we'll just have to wait until Monday!

@SkyeWelse- Please tell if he responds back and what he says >_>

I'm very curious about this whole thing, and whether or not Pixel knows, etc.

[d4vz]

I'm pretty sure he knows... there's a link to the official announcement on his website

I wonder what 'additional content' means.

SSB is generally about Nintendo's past and historical marks on gaming. Until Brawl came out and they inserted Snake and SONIC because all the fans were begging for them.

That has to do with translation. Grass and weed roughly mean about the same thing in japan, since the word there isn't used to describe drugs. Weed town just sounds silly to us, so grasstown it became.

Sadly enough, I think that by the time the money is figured, Pixel will get hardly anything. It's just the way it works.
Pixel did it not for money, but for gaming.
He COULD have taken the game somewhere and gotten it published, but nope. He gave it out for free.
...
Games are starting to become like mainstream music...since the generation after the N64. Games are becoming more and more about the money. Perhaps Indy games will increase in popularity as Indy music has.

You hate indy music?
You surely don't mean independent music, you mean indy rock genre right?

Independent means you're your own label, no mainstream, and there's independent musicians for every genre. Alot of them give out their music for free, and make their money off of live shows.

That's why I mentioned Nintendo; If they publish it, the chances of Cave Story to appear are much better! Possible milestone could be "successful WiiWare game"...?

(By the way, Kojima begged for Snake, and we begged for Sonic. Hey, Kojima's a fan too!)

Ah, silly translation issues... I was hoping for a town full of tripped-up Mimigas!

I agree that games nowadays are just about what can cash in the most. Regardless, even if Studio Pixel did if for the game and not for money, it's just plain wrong for one company to take the spoils from the original author. There has to be some kind of royalty or something... (besides, however little, Mr. Pixel deserves every penny we throw at him)

Man, he's too humble.

We'll all assume indy rock is the genre of hate for you, but how about indy music about indie games...?
The Indie Games Theme Song
Indie As F*** ***WARNING*** Cave Story Ripoff first 2:05!

j/k about The Underside; it's looking real nice now!
