Assist Trophies are trophies that come to the aid of the player that called them out.
But these may not always be solid objects...
Th-they’re pixel art!
And there are tons of pixels racing around!
I think that in Smash, though, appearances are rarely what they seem.
Just because they’re flat doesn’t mean you can
take them lightly.
By the way, there’s also an Assist Trophy for this guy.
Lakitu and Spinies! He just tosses ‘em down,
one after the other.
Article from Kotaku, I am excited about Snake in Smash Bros Brawl and that they are putting so much work into making the experience as good as possible.
continue readingKotakuite and avid YouTube comment reader Hunter, found this little juicy tidbit within the comments on Solid Snake voice actor David Hayter's YouTube page. A few months back, Hayter put together a rather funny video to celebrate the 20th Anniversary of Metal Gear Solid and posted it on YouTube.
This article from Kotaku, looks like another Grasshopper Game on the WII (they do make pretty good games).

What with TGS and a week in Tokyo, this one seemed to slip by me, but hearing it now is very exciting. According to 1Up, Tecmo has hired Grasshopper Manufacture to work on the next Fatal Frame game which will apparently be made for the Wii. Once Grasshopper is done with No More Heroes, they will start full steam on the as yet untitled Fatal Frame.

Reasons: The new PSP was released this week as well as a new Final Fantasy for the PSP, Japanese people love Final Fantasy. Almost everyone in Japan already has a DS, and Wii. Nintendo said that they are redirecting Wii's from Japan to North America. If the sales don't tone down for the PSP by next week, then we could be looking at a new leader among consoles.
Here are the impressions of the Wii game No More Heroes. I am personally looking forward to this game!

What is Tourney mode?!
This is a mode that determines which player stands victorious on the summit after winning many battles against many foes!
I won’t go into much detail, so just try it out for yourself. Take advantage of its robust tourney-generating functions!
Of course, if you don’t have a large number of friends, you may not have much need for a tourney.
Still, we’re working seriously to make this mode fun for even those people.
Actually, you can also play this by yourself against computer opponents, so try it out if you’re so inclined.
It’s the Pokémon Trainer’s Final Smash: Triple Finish! It combines the powers of Squirtle, Ivysaur, and Charizard!
Any one of them can get the Smash Ball.
Go! Triple Finish!
It’s super effective!
...So, what is with that text window below?
Squirtle = Hydro Pump
Ivysaur = SolarBeam
Charizard = Fire Blast
These are the moves they use. Isn’t it a beautiful combination? A Fire-type attack, a Water-type attack, and a Grass-type attack? (Not really.)
If an opposing Pokémon gets the Smash Ball, at the very least take care to not be standing immediately beside it.
When you’re particularly close, it hurts. FLEE!
What are trophies? These are solid objects that appear as prizes and offer explanations of characters!
You can check out the poses and learn the background of a variety of characters.
Characters in solid form, complete with explanations!
You can view them from a variety of angles. Whirrrrrreeee...
You’re going to get a lot of these, so we’ve added images of them to the list to make them easier to identify.
You can arrange them by series.
And you can line them all up. This can’t be outdoors, can it?
Take a look at these, for example, if you want to learn more about a character you saw in the background in Smash. Or when your interest in a particular character’s back story has been piqued and you want to learn more about them.
Having trophies that explain your characters is quite useful.
And, in a bonus mode, you can even create something like this.
Choose several trophies and place them however you like!
You can even change the background. It’s all up to you.
Since we’ve gone to the trouble of gathering all these universes together, I hope you’ll enjoy gaining a deeper understanding of these characters. It’s with that intent that we’re all working so hard.
I am glad to see that we are starting to get less casual games compared to original titles on the Wii. Casual Games are fun, but they are overpriced for what they offer. Companies have overdone casual games, there are enough to last forever! Original titles however are just starting to appear.
