Take your pick! Smash Bros. or Metroid? - Image 1


It all started out as a simple question in the NeoGAF forums, with someone querying if there was a Nintendo press event coming soon. Rumors ablaze and conspiracy theorists a-surging, what once was speculation is now looking more and more real. Maybe there really is an event coming up, probably as early as next week even.

Common sentiment holds that a "media summit" would take place, with Nintendo revealing some potentially big news on two of their most awaited titles Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Metroid Prime 3: Corruption. Some attribute this to the countdown at the SSBB official site and the reservations of Metroid on GameStop.

The most official-sounding (we're not saying it's official; we're saying it's official-sounding) is a post made by Geek, who reveals specific dates and other official-sounding details:

The Media Summit will take place May 22 (all invitees) and May 23 (pre-approved long-lead only invitees on embargo). No mention of embargoes on the earlier stuff yet, but expect some new *something*, including 3rd party software. Stuff should start showing up after 6 PM PST on the 22nd (unless some Blackberry owners start posting from the event).


Embargoes? Who the heck uses that term these days? For some reason, the mention of such words makes it official-sounding. In any case, be sure to keep your eyes peeled. We'll bring you guys more info as soon as they become official (sans "-sounding").

Tom Nook owns you

lol Tom Nook lol he'd kick everyones ass.

oh?

I can't see any character who hasn't been either attacked or attacked someone be a character in ssb or ssbm: Tom Nook doesn't fall into this category of characters. Even though it would be nice to see him... It just won't work :(

Wow.

I nearly exploded in my pants until I saw the picture of Isaac. Then I realized the big, fat, ugly truth that it's a fake :(. Hell of a line-up though..

Tom Nook!

Yeah, Tom Nook would be awesome! He could attack people by throwing rediculously high mortgage prices at them! Solid Snake wouldn't know what hit him!
by - 2007-05-18 09:29:33
Sweet!

In my opinion, playing as Olimar, Banjo-Kazooie, Tom Nook, Bomberman, and Balloon Fighter would be pretty awesome. The only problem I see with this line-up would be that there is no Adult Link.
by - 2007-05-18 11:54:24
Hmmm

What about the Link right next to Mario he looks pretty adult to me
by - 2007-05-18 13:25:31
MEGA MAN!

That line-up rocks. MegaMan Trigger *****!
