Mario Kart. Mognet. Clubhouse Games. Castlevania. Children of Mana. Final Fantasy.

And soon: Smash Bros. and Diddy Kong Racing.

DO IT DO IT DO IT DO IT

If you do it, I promise we'll have a three player Children of Mana and Clubhouse Games marathon session.

I told you I'd get one if Melissa Theuriau got one and I could play with her.

Sacre bleu :-*

wait...smash bros...what??? WHATTTT????????????????

It's coming; heard so from Ninty folks at E3 :shh

... What? You think they're not going to put arguably their biggest franchise on a machine capable of replicating its 64-bit origins that also happens to have a sizable online user base?

Nintendo may be queer, but they're not stupid.

Well, it should've been announced by then now. I think Nintendo is stupid enough not to do it, yes I do.

It's not announced because it's not playable yet.  It was on certain lists available to certain folks, though!

Source: Me.

It has not been publically announced, but it is in the works behind closed doors.  Do not be surprised if you hear more about it closer to the release of Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

Personally, I feel they're going about it the wrong way, since the DS has the larger user base.  Put Smash Bros. on there first, get people hooked, promise extra crap if you connect with the Wii version and people will buy a Wii/Brawl.  I am not sure if there will be the incentive if they do it vice versa.

Oh well, I don't run Nintendo.

Don't believe me?  Ask Disposable White Guy.  I'm always allowed VIP access to Ninty crap at E3.

It's true.  This is neither mega nor ton.  Shit, I already told him I'd buy a DS Lite when it's ready for pre-order.

There's nothing to announce other than it exists.  Nobody knows anything other than that there is a Smash Bros. slated for DS.

I'm sure Craig Harris from IGN knows more about it than I do!

Someone please explain this picture  ??? Someone linked it through an IRC channel...didn't think it was real until I saw this topic... Take it for what you will I'm still skeptical about a smash bros game for DS.

Nintendo knew SSBM was their best selling game for the GC, yet didn't get started til LAST OCTOBER. Same with Mario Galaxy, their second biggest game right now. So forgive me if I don't believe you, Will. :/

They're not really the smartest company in the world, I'm afraid. :-\

Those screenshots... they look quite fake, but they got me thinking how awesome a sprite based SB on DS would be.
