Another MGS character in Smash Bros

Solid Snake wasn't enough for Super Smash Bros. Brawl's star-studied roster; a second Metal Gear Solid character, the uni-eyed Grey Fox has joined the fight! But unfortunately you won't be able to play as him...

Grey Fox makes his Smash Bros. Appearance as an assist trophy, which help (or hurt) the player that activates them but aren't playable characters. In this case Grey Fox turns up and does his ninja thing on whoever happens to be in his way (he did chin a Metal Gear Rex after all) and look pretty damn hard in the process.

It's a complete shame he isn't playable that would have been great

Prismo_Fillusion6780d ago

Am I the only one who doesn't care at all who the assist trophy characters are? I wouldn't care if Master Chief was an AT, if Tails was an AT, or even if George W. Bush was an AT and made all the other characters choke on pretzels. Playable characters...or bust!

Some of the AT's are kind of neat as a throw-back to NES games, but that's it.

Rooftrellen6780d ago

I actually care.

It's like pokeballs, but more random. With what little I know, I'm already looking at how I'm going to be fighting (yes, I'm one of the super hardcore Smash Bros. freaks out there), and assist trophies can greatly change that.

I consider playable characters...and stages...and items...and pokemon more important, but after all of that, I care about assist trophies.

is this game as good as everyone is making it out to be?

TruthbeTold6780d ago

Wii or not, the graphics look amazing. The cast so far is great. The moves seem to be awesome. There is a full length Adventure mode now called the "Subspace Emissary" that is character specific. Gameplay looks great, and is said to be so by those who have played demos. There is a stage builder, with which you can submit them to Nintendo, and one will be chosen each day for download by the masses. Oh yeah, and Online Smash, Adventure mode with co-op if you choose, and a ton of little tiny features and details. Not to mention that they keep revealing more features each week. I'm convinced that this game will have years of replay value. Years.

Crazy to think the WII is to the Switch 2, as the NES was to the WII back then. 20 Year difference.

My wife asks me to bust it out (heh) everyone once in a while to play bowling and tennis with the kids. There was a ton of slop on it but some good stuff as well.

Wii was great but boy howdy did it cause Microsoft to go on a dark walk with the Kinect and the disastrous XBox One launch that they arguably never recovered from.

Loktai38d ago

Not nostalgic for me.. I was there.. anyone who wasnt a little kid realized it was a gamecube with shit tacked onto it, it was the "joke" system and was well below even the switch in terms of comparing it to the latest machines at the time. The machine was well loved by young people and "casual gamers" who now remember it 20 years on, or in most cases more of its sales came in the 15-20 years ago range not right at launch- but again its not nostalgic for people who were "gamers" then really, just for those who ended up with one in their house, the games , graphics, interface and online features were archaic already in 2006.

To me smash brows Melee is my all time favorite. I can't tell you how many hours I played that game between friends and family. When I was a kid, my parents couldn't afford a gaming console so I had to go somewhere that had an arcade like setup with the only difference being instead of arcade cabinets, they had big screen crt TV's and gaming consoles setup. I would go with my friends on special occasions after school or with my family on the weekends.

I would meet and make new friends at that place as we were all gamers and we also brought our game boys and would trade pokemon. I don't think those places exist these days but back then, it was easy to meet like-minded people and have fun for hours.

franwex475d ago

Well, I’ll add my extremely subjective ranking too. I won’t include the 3DS version as I don’t owned it. I did play it for a few minutes though.

5. Brawl.
4. N64 Smash
3. Ultimate
2. Wiiu Smash
1. Melee

BlaqMagiq1475d ago

Yup Ultimate for me BY FAR is my favorite.
