How does that feel?



Honestly, maybe it's because we're already two Smash games out from it AND so much has happened in my life in that time, it actually feels further back than that to me.

That being said, the months leading up to it with the Dojo updates and all the crazy speculation still feel lile yesterday.

that first couple weeks getting to face off online against other board 8ers for the first time was absolute magic.

That and Pokemon D/P were some of my favorite times to be on board 8

Overrated trash that was a hype job for its time. Majoras Mask saved this site back then imo. It would have been a dark day for Gamefaqs had that garbage won GOTD.

Embarrassing that this shit didn't even get nominated for 2015 BGE. Goes to show how much people forgot about it when the next iteraton came out like some yearly sports rehash.

I imported it and used the Freeloader that worked for a few months before Nintendo disabled it.

Reminds me how fucking awful we got it back then waiting 4 months for games like Smash.

I remember a drawing someone made of a really fat guy looking at his computer at 2 AM yelling "SAKURAAAAAAAI!" I have yet to find it again, because I thought that was so representative of the time.

Yeah it was at the end of the dark age. Thankfully delays like that are pretty rare now.

It's a good contender for best and biggest pre-release hype to date.

IMO it's not a contender, it's indisputable.

it almost feels like it should be longer to me. I remember a newgrounds animation for the release where a kid gets hit by a bus or something on the way to buying the game. and it's like "newgrounds was still a thing in 2008?" but i guess that was still before the real golden age of youtube.

This. Although it set the hype levels way too high.

Brawl was played so much back in March and April 2008.
