SSBB: Possible Hints

ConkerASkyJockey | September 02, 2007 | News | Wii 
IGN's Lucas M. Thomas and Matt Casamassina questioned Super Smash Bros. Brawl's game director, Masahiro Sakurai of some of the games new features or hints of the game.

A hint, is that Brawl will have Wi-Fi connection, the aspect ratio will be 16:9 widescreen and 480p and many other hints in the questions and answers.
Aspect Ratio
Question: Will Super Smash Bros. Brawl support 16:9 widescreen and 480p progressive scan?

The answer is yes on both counts. There's been some concern about Brawl's widescreen support over the past few months, because the vast majority of screenshots released by Nintendo have not been in 16:9 – but that's a deficiency of the Big N's screen capturing techniques, not the game itself. Look to the 16:9 videos that have been released for a better idea of what it will really look like on your high-end TV.


Wi-Fi, or no Wi-Fi?
Question: Will Super Smash Bros. Brawl be online?

All reports indicate that yes, it will. Brawl has been planned from the beginning to be a flagship title for Nintendo's free Wi-Fi Connection service, and though the feature hasn't yet been 100% confirmed, you can rest soundly in the knowledge that it's an almost surefire guarantee.

Frame Rate
Question: Will Super Smash Bros. Brawl run at 60 frames per second?

A third affirmative here. Expect your multiplayer matches to be silky smooth, locked in place at an unflinching 60 fps – an impressive feat, considering just how much mayhem will be ongoing on-screen at once.

    IGN didn't question Sakurai, this is just there thoughts in the rumor section of the giant FAQ they put up.
    The WiFi part is totally their opinion, based on the vibes they have gotten in previous interviews and such.

    This is certainly shaping up to be one of the better Wii games of the year, perhaps even the best. And a constant 60 fps sounds fantastic!

    Awesome, 60 FPS for online play, sounds good for online. I am just glad it will be online though, another thing making this such a good game when it comes out.

    Wow.. simply, wow. This is just getting better, and better. It's good to know if it is online, that it won't be so laggy or anything like that.
