More Brawl Hubbub

It's about to be released in Japan very soon! What, you may ask? Do I even have to tell you?

Two updates today that caught my attention. First, the Japanese intro was uploaded to Youtube, and embedded above. What's so cool about it? Towards the end, We see three figures with swords running. Around the 1:44 mark. Two of them have already been announced; Meta-Knight and Ike. The third looks unmistakably like Marth, who has been unannounced thus far, but I've always considered him a no-brainer, due to his popularity from Melee. This makes me really happy. You just don't know. I'll leave it at that as not to bore you and make myself looking like a fool.

Read more for some ramblings about the music in the game.


(The following isn't important. I'm a big geek when it comes to video game music. I always loved it, I even maybe want to work in that department once I get my degree. We'll see though. Brawl seems to be including some of my favorite music right off the bat.)

A table was posted up today on the offical site. It contains information regarding all the music that is available at the start of the game. The website also says that you can acquire more music as you play through the game. Take note at the Fire Emblem section! Yes, I really am raving on about Fire Emblem again! The Attack theme from what I assume to be Fire Emblem 7 will be included in this game! If it's the track I am thinking of, it's one of my favorite pieces of video game music ever. It's nothing spectacular as music itself, but I've always loved it dearly. I'm very happy Nintendo decided to include this in the Brawl. It has a music from some of the other games that no announced characters are from. I wonder if this could mean...nah, no more speculation, which will then lead to more disappointment. I'll just take what I can get.

Also, Go K.K. Rider, from Animal Crossing is included. Absolutely fantastic. That was seriously the only track I never changed on my radio when I played the game. It was what played on my Hi-Fi Stereo in my basement - which also served as my arcade for my NES games. You could have seriously put it half the music you got from K.K. Slider in the game. Maybe we'll see more as we play the game.

From Metroid, we get both music from the Ridley battles from Super Metroid and Prime. We also get the intro from Prime as well. While Metroid is one of my favorite series' of all time, I was never completely impressed with the music in the Prime trilogy. I hate to admit it, but it's the truth. Though, Meta-Ridley was one of the better tracks. I also spot Samus Aran's theme!

Mario: No suprises here. We get the Delfino Plaza music, one track I always found enjoyable when playing Sunshine. What's funny about that game is I loved it for the reasons everyone hated it. And the few aspects about it most purists enjoyed, I wasn't entirely fond of. Aside from the weak final boss, I really enjoyed Sunshine. Don't hate! We also get your traditional Mario music anyone on the streets can recognize. I actually was hoping for some tracks from Paper Mario. I'll not get my hopes down though.

Pikmin! Well, to be honest, I've completely forgotten how any of the Pikmin music goes, but I do remember I liked it. So I guess that's good, no?

I've never played Metal Gear Solid, but I have heard one of the theme's from it and have always admired that piece. I'm not sure of the name and too lazy to look it up. So here to maybe being happy about it possible inclusion in Brawl.
