Just got the PAL version, and as far as I could tell, the load times were actually a lot shorter than the ones I've seen on videos of the US/Japanese version. I'm playing it on a Wii that's only a few weeks old though, so maybe that could account for the difference?

Considering that Nana was the only female Smasher not to get sexified in this game (Samus got the Zero Suit, Peach got visible panties and Sheik seems to have invested in implants), the image at the start of this thread may well adopted as Nana's official design if/when SSB4 materialises...

This is a tough one, as most of these tunes are awesome. I feel bad picking just one as a favourite. Best: Clu Clu Land, because it's such a fun piece full of variety. (Following very closely behind are Shin Ongashima and both of the Ice Climber themes). Worst: Balloon Trip. I have nothing...

Oh, females have much more of a visible presence in Brawl. Samus takes her clothes off, Peach shows her panties, and the once butch and androgynous Sheik now has a cleavage to rival that of Lara Croft. The only one of the girls to escape sluttification was Nana. Expect Zero Parka Nana for SSB4.

They're revealing characters in the order you're most likely to unlock them. And yep, the character model is just beautifully detailed.

My problem with Zamus' appearance (and I can't really blame Brawl for this, since we've been seeing her out of her suit for years) is that she's far more Barbie-like than a space bounty hunter has any right to be, even if she is protected by robot armour most of the time. It's particularly...

Aww, Ice Climbers joint last? That makes me sad. Mind you, this is mainly being voted on by people who don't yet have the game. Ice Climbers aren't newcomers, and they haven't changed much since Melee, so I suppose they're not going to attract much attention. Now, to comiserate with the...

Nana has the best figure in Brawl. Seriously. You just can't see it because of her parka. Just you wait until the next game, where Zero Parka Nana will be playable. Also, is it wrong to have gone off Shiek a little now that she's less androgynous? <.< >.> Yeah, I thought so.

I prefer to think couple, just because it's cuter that way. And it gives me an extra incentive to smack hell out of my opponents if they KO Popo (yeah, I generally main Nana >.>) But when the only evidence we have one way or the other is based on an ambiguous, fraction-of-a-second bit of the...

I'd have been stunned if this wasn't in Brawl in one form or another. I still have a feeling that the original may be lurking somewhere in the game, waiting to be unlocked via the most absurd of means... Maybe the reward for 500 KOs in Cruel Brawl? :P Also, off topic, but... I want that...

I was just leafing through the Ice Climber manual, and... it doesn't even mention them being Eskimos. I guess this means they could be from anywhere >.> To add to the confusion, in some regions the boxart featured Nana... as a blonde. I wish we had canon like all the other franchises. We...

You're right, and to my shame I only recently noticed this. They do share the same voice actress, though. I hadn't really thought about the cold/warm thing. If anything, I'd say the colour combinations were inspired by the original designs (Popo in colours close to blue, Nana in colours close...

I think the least-sense making post of the day award has just been usurped. Anyway, all we really know is that they're Eskimos, a pretty all encompassing term covering natives of Canada, Alaska, Greenland and Siberia. I don't think any official source has ever used "Inuit", but if so, that...

Look closely at the Ice Climbers' faces when you select them in Melee. They have different hairstyles: Popo has a visible fringe, Nana doesn't. When you select either the orange or the red costumes, you'll see that the Ice Climbers switch places, with the female one now in front. This is what...

Found another video which, aside from showing that you can make a completely enclosed stage in Stage Builder, also shows off four of the six Ice Climber colour schemes... two of which have Nana in the lead. The first of the two matches is actually won by red Nana/white Popo.
