Well long ago before the gameboy advance original came out they said yes super smash brothers will be coming onto gba, so it comes out and nothing. Eventually I look online to see whats going on and they had a whole like 2 minute preview of it for gba next thing you know its cancelled and a month later no info on it what so ever. So will it ever happen?

[musicman2059]

I don't recall Nintendo ever saying anything about a GBA SSB. I know there were fake rumours (using pixelated SSBM images) but that's about it. And I can tell you this because I was an NP subscriber at the time. If there was any plans for a GBA SSB, I would've heard about it.

A good GBA alternative though is Sonic Battle.

[l3lueMage]

yea, but I just hate how nintendo messed up the sonic games, I have been a fan of sonic since 96' and its been good, best ver is sonic adventure 2 for dreamcast, i hate the added and taken out parts for the gc, and sonic heroes was probably a more "childish" version of sonic and the voices were so messed up.

[Ravenblade]

a gameboy version would be really good but im not sure the advance, or indeed the DS are powerful enough to pull it off yet. Maybe next time round, but i dont think it would work yet - i could be wrong though

[I'm Always BROKE]

The DS makes kinda remixes of the N64 as the GBA did to the SNES... Well maybe the original SSB would be on the DS...

[Someone Else]

DS would most definetly be able to pull of a Super Smash Bro. game, since it's like a handheld combination of the N64 and NGC.

I doubt the GBA will get one because of the lack of buttons. (think about it, I doubt a SSB game would do very well on GBA with only the L, R, B and A buttons free).

they could use combos, its only missing 3 buttons anyways.
I played the DS at an electronic store it had metroid on it, and boy o boy did I really really really HATE it...srry for all those that like it but i hate it. For one on the metroid game the arrows only make u slide to the side you have to pick up the pen, move it across the top screen just to turn your head/body to another direction what a pain! I mean what if enemies around you, you pick up pen turn fire at a few, pick up pen turn all the way around fire at more, its just not nice.

The DS is perfect for SSB except for one thing: there's no Z button (which is for throwing). Maybe the SELECT button could do that...

Well, that's you. I found that it only took one hour to get used to.

thats why I said srry to all those that like the DS, but then I was in the store and prob impatient im sure if i bought one i would like it ^_^

[Neon]

that's only one game (which isn't finished yet mind you). imo the ds is made for rpgs and strategy games.

the only thing that worries me about a SSBDS is that they use the touch screen. No touch screen in SSB thank you!
Unless it's for the menu ^_^.

omg, how sweet would SSB be on two screens. You have one tall arena that takes up both screens, and you can move between the two.

[l3lueMage]

Or instead of zooming the screen out when people are all the way across the screen from you, the bottom screen stays focused like normal as if all were close to each other, and the top screen zooms all the way out so you still can see.

[Ivan is my name]

It would fit in quite well controls wise, but the graphics are maybe a bit too complicated

[l3lueMage]

This is what I think, GBA was a remake of all SNES games or very close to SNES games, and i think now the DS is going to be a remake of all GC game or close to it.

[I'm Always BROKE]

Nope the DS will proberly do N64. Never saw the new Mario64?

[l3lueMage]

[COLOR=green]lol srry thats what I meant, the n64, even had it in my mind but happened to write down gc.

Off topic question
How is it that n64 games are still being sold? yet no store will accept my dc games or sell dc games :P :blink:[/COLOR]

what country are you in? cos my friend recently got $110 for his very old sega and 5 games.

ssb on ds is all go, mario carts is being made so yea i reckon it'll happen

and bluemage about you disliking the ds, i was a psp supporter but the ds blew me away, i'm getting it for sure. and metriod prime isn't its claim to fame so try mario64 or other games before you deicde something.

Surely they're gonna realease more new games then just remake all the old N64 ones, although PD would be a good addition. That said i guess its feasible that Smash Brothers the original could come out on it but im not sure it would work so well with so much action happening in a small screen and stuff.

Id have to try it though

[Neon]

of course SSBM graphics are too good for the DS. That doesn't meen they can't make a ds ssb. It would jsut have slightly better graphics than the original on the 64. No problem.

the DS has four buttons doesn't it (plus R and L)? SSB should work fine with that.

That's right, the DS has four buttons plus L and R. How much did an N64 controller have..?

[Sea of Time]

I don't know if it will come out on GBA but I sure hope they'll remake the N64 classic on the DS.

[TheDogWho]

'Twould be good. But looking back at old SSB, some characters close up were scarily pointy and the numbers look dodgy and thin.
However, on Mario 64 they look similarly pointy, on the DS are they pointyish(not a word, but... Look! Over there! More nits to pick!)?

[I'm Always BROKE]

Maybe they should make more chars in the original SSB on the DS.

They look sorta pentagon-ish. I don't think the graphics card in it could support high-quality round shapes.

Anyway, I hope the DS might get a SSB game. I played the GC game at a friends house and it was fun, even though I sucked at it.

[gsninja]

^_^ It takes practice.

The DS's graphics are just like that of the N64, so the graphics can be "pointy-ish".

[Golden Legacy]

The problem with the DS is that it does not feature a graphical technique known as anti-aliasing. Due to this, the textures appear somewhat... err, as has been stated, "pointy-ish". You'll also notice that even with Pictochat, where the receiver will at times get the image with jagged lines and such (they don't appear smooth).

But I believe the (dual) processor power of the DS should surpass the N64, and on the small screen (only slightly larger than the GBA's and SP's) makes everything appear very smooth.

That having been said, there have been rumours of a Super Smash Brothers game for the DS. Nothing confirmed, but I wouldn't rule it out.

[Blink]

I have a DS and it can handle plenty more than an N64 could. If anything, I would call this a 128 system like the dreamcast. Not a 256 like the cube, but certainly more than a 64...

SSBM would be perfect for the DS in my opinion, the only problem would be the thing its named after, smash attacks. maybe depending on how quickly you press in that direction on the D-pad. As for grab, you could make that R, and sheild as L. Everything else would have the same controls as on the originals though, except it would be smash attacks as X instead of B(weird lettered button layout). Also, it could hold the equivalent of Melee's characters with somewhat better than N64's graphics. I would love to see this happen...

[ForteGX]

*blindly interrupts a good discussion by adding his two cents*

Truth be told, this is something that I've often pondered about for a long time. A SSB game that featured characters who exist in the GB realm (*coughWariocough*). I think that, despite the limited graphics capabilities, it could be a pretty fun little game. I imagine it being somewhat similar to Sonic Battle.

But that's just me. Carry on. B)

[Golden Legacy]

^ A sound idea, actually. I totally agree with it B)

Nintendo has brought several of its popular multi-player franchises to the GBA (i.e. Mario Kart, the soon to be released Mario Party Advance, and numerous others that I can't think of at the moment). Super Smash Brothers is only inevitable.

Perhaps Nintendo is waiting for the next-generation GameBoy, which will supposedly be a "portable GameCube"...

[My Best Wishes]

dude a portable gamecube? dang, we'b be wating for that for awhile, gamecube's gotta die first.

[Neon]

it's already dead...

I also thought of a GBA ssb with gb characters.
but then i realised...
HOW BORING!
keep all the nintendo characters, but just add wario and stuff on top.

I also thought that it would be cool to have GS chars. A lighthouse aerie would make the best arena (especially if it was Venus lighthouse, and they had it split half way through the fight). You would have the three platforms, and you could wall jump up them if you fell down. It would be simple, but extremely cool looking :P.
It will never happen though. GS isn't a nintendo game.

[Venus_Man1]

Your idea is extremely good, though. I would love that arena.

[gsninja]

Venus Lighthouse would be a nice arena, but would probably be as big as Final Destination in SSBM.

[ForteGX]

GS stages would be awesome. Maybe even the Doom Dragon could descend and unleash Cruel Ruin every once in a while. :P

That would be sweet. And maybe Diddy and Dixie Kong could make appearances too.

[gsninja]

It would be cool if the Doom Dragon could unleash Cruel Ruin, and it would be dangerous if it encompassed the entire field.

[ForteGX]

It would be included as one of those "Environmental Hazards." Maybe there could be arenas from Fire Emblem 7, too, and Pokemon Ruby or Sapphire. So many possiblilities.

YAAAA! I WOULD LOVE TO SEE DIDDY AND DIXIE KONG IN A SSB GAME! :P :wub: :P

Diddy and Dixie Kong could be paired up juuuuuuuust like the Ice Climbers. THey have high jumps and stuff and well... THEY MUST BE IN IT!!!!!! ^_^

[Neon]

omg, having them paird up would rock. It would be a weird mix between ice climbers and zelda. You could swap between whenever to change your throws and b moves, but the unused one would remain fighting beside you, and can be killed like the second ice climber.

That would add some mighty fine strategy.

[Venus_Man1]

Dang, that's quite and idea. And the Doom Dragon idea rocks. Another GS stage could be Mount Aleph.

[I'm Always BROKE]

I know a good one to. Air's Rock. With tornadoes and rock slides it would be a awesome stage. And this game should NOT be SSB or SSBM put a new game and here's a name: Super Smash Bros. DS! :P Very creative huh? :P

[Venus_Man1]

Lol, yeah. Air's rock sounds good. The whirlwind idea is old, but still good, though.

[TheDogWho]

This topic is slowly turning into a SSBM topic.

All these, GS arenas sound cool, but the best idea ever would be a feature on the DS where you could play 2-4 players and players could choose to control the environmental hazards.

[Venus_Man1]

Mmmm, sounds good. A online feature with even more players than four would be very, very good.

[l3lueMage]

a online feature for gameboy and you can plugin a headset into the gamelink plug. (includes gamelink splitter so you can use your gamelink to internet plug in lol)

[Neon]

Super Smash Brothers: Pandemonium
:o

I'm not a fan of the whole 'DS' '64' thing.

They need a good use for the second screen. Maybe they could list the items that are going to appear so you can prepare. And also put things like damage up the top.
Maybe a camera like in the demos, showing the current fight from different angles ^_^.

You know, that point about the damage on the top screen is a darn good idea. The damage meters can sometimes obscure parts of the arena on Smash Brothers, so if they were up on the top screen - that problem would be eradicated!

[Someone Else]

While it would be cool to have GS characters, areas, and hazads in a SSB game, I don't know if GS is popular enough to get in.

Then again they had people like the EarthBound kid and I had no idea who he was...

[I'm Always BROKE]

Ya WD is right about Ness. C. Falcon is even less famous I think. But they still add them. And some arent even fighters... Fox and Falco I say, and Peach. And I don't see The Ice Climbers as profesional fighters too. But they just are! I hope Nintendo ads this chars:

Diddy & Dixie Kong Tag Team
Igglybuff
Chunky Kong (stronger and heavier and slower version of DK)
Birdo (clone Yoshi)
Wario
Waluigi
better version of Mewtwo
Isaac or Felix
Daisy
Boo
Bowser Jr.
Figher Kirby
Waddle Dee
King Dedede
Dark Samus or the SA-X
Mew
Poo
Paula
NOT Jeff :) (JEFF SUCKS)
Magikarp
Pac Man
And more Fire Emblem characters.

Or just this: MAKE 100 CHARACTERS CAUSE THAT WOULD BE SOO AWESOME!!!

[Ivan is my name]

The thing is, Magicarp is useless, there isnt a better version of mewtwo, boo cant fight very well, and there isnt enough room for more games to put in. They will just add characters from the games that are allready in there. Shame there isnt GS ones though..... Maybe the will be!!

[I'm Always BROKE]

THere IS a better version of Mewtwo, the real him without cancer :) THe Magikarp was just a joke and Boo can be made with a lot of fantasy and I bet Boo can do anything of crazy attacks :D

[isaac2112]

super smash bros. on gameboy? no. it will never happen
