It has always been a big title.

Amongst the gaming community sure, but not among the general population


A game being big among the "general population" is really quite rare. That's stuff like Fortnite and Minecraft. Most games don't achieve anywhere near that kind of success.

How old are you.

I remember the hype leading up to Brawl was absolutely massive. Only Halo 3 had it beat.

Brawl had massive hype, but it was nowhere near the hype for 4 or Ultimate

Yes it was. Pre release Brawl board on this site is legendary for all the wrong reasons.

This site is called NintendoFAQs for a reason

You missed the point. 08 Brawl board was a train wreck on top of a tire fire. Nothing to do with Nintendo FAQs

Brawls hype was due to Snake unleashing 3rd parties into the mix and Japan time giving us daily info, but it was only big among the video game community.

no reason to take this one seriously.

Irony coming from the zealot Nintendo fanboy

How are those mosh pits treating you?

Better than Nintendo treats it's adult fans

We've seen your face so we know that's not true

Literally no games had a large pre release outside of the video game community.

How could you possibly believe that in a world where games like Madden, 2k,CoD, and Fifa exist

Those games have mainstream appeal, but not mainstream hype. People don't follow the development news. They get excited when the game is just around the corner, not earlier.

Brawl was the only game I've done a midnight release with friends for. It's the only game I checked for news for daily. That was based on the excellence of Melee and the activity of the online and offline community that was just as excited about it.

I agree that the hype has been special since just before Brawl, there's nothing else like it in gaming. The closest is each new GTA.

I was a PS1 kid who didn't know who Samus or Captain Falcon were. I don't think I even knew who Kirby was.

Smash 64 was a big deal. I rented the console just to play it. Mario fighting Pikachu? C'mon son.

But ultimately, I've yet to see hype that equals what existed for Brawl. It was mass hysteria.

Smash Brawl had ridiculous hype. People literally went crazy over each and every post on that Smash Dojo site.
