NINTENDO ANNOUNCES WII WANT MORE SERVICEOld Games Made New Again with Additional Downloable Content REDMOND, Wash., March 29, 2008 - No one wants to play the same game forever. However, sometimes it is impractical, both for Nintendo and for our customers, to release a new sequel to all our games every year. In order to solve this problem, Nintendo will begin offering the Wii Want More™ service this May. By logging into the Wii Shop Channel players will be able to purchase new content for games they already own for a fraction of the price it would cost to buy a new game. We are pleased to announce that one of 27 games to make use of the Wii Want More service at its lauch will be none other than our very own best selling Super Smash Bros.® Brawl! Starting May 13, 2008, players will be able to add four undisclosed new characters and two new stages to the already large roster included in the stand-alone game for only 10.00 USD. Our customers will be even more pleased to discover that this particular package will be offered completely free of charge for the first month after the launch of Wii Want More. A better deal has never been offered by any company in the Video Game industry. In addition to Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Nintendo will offer content for The Legend of Zelda®: Twilight Princess, Fire Emblem™: Radiant Dawn, Metroid® Prime 3: Corruption, and Mario Kart® Wii, as well as several titles available through the Wii Ware™ service. Wii Want More will also allow our numerous third party developers to offer downloadable content for both previously released and upcoming games. This spring, be ready to ask for more! Remember that Wii features parental controls that let adults manage the content their children can access.

Pheonix Gamma Posted March 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 If it's legit, I'll be a very happy man. However, it looks like we got punk'd. Oh well, might as well leave this to warn anyone else who hears about this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Hog Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 Well, despite the fact that I don't believe this at all, I'd really love it if Nintendo stepped up and did something similar. Although, to be fair, extra characters and stages would be rather unfeasible - maybe just some extra tunes for My Music would be nice. Like the ones that got cut from the game to begin with, at least according to PG's link in the other Brawl topic. Although I'm not sure how much I'd actually want to pay for content that should've been in the game to begin with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pheonix Gamma Posted March 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 Well, there is character data on the disc, but it's very minuscule. Files for "Toon Zelda" and "Toon Shiek" (Tetra perhaps) are there along with others, just not usable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven M Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 I didn't even notice it was April Fool's until 4pm today. Edit: this is less a post surmising my complete stupidity and more a post outlining the fact that nobody I met up with today said anything about April Fool's. At all.

Rael0505 Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 Jeez godmaster, that failed so hard. You waited too long to do it, and there was nothing to keep me watching. Normally with "screamers," there is something to keep the person interested, like that subliminal messages one on albinoblacksheep. By the time it happened, I was in another tab looking at something else. It didn't scare me at all. Better luck next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
