Update #212: Vault

[parrothead]

The top menu contains six different modes, but I’ve decided to introduce the finer points of each mode one by one.


Here’s the top menu.

Let’s do a rough overview of the mode known as the Vault.

The Vault is where items you’ve collected or created in Brawl are stored. Objects you’ve received as rewards or downloaded usually appear here.


This is the Vault menu!

Stage Builder

You can create all sorts of stages here. Go here for more details.


Build stages like this one!


And this one!


If you connect to Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection, you might find something new waiting for you here.

Album

Check out your best snapshots here. Go to this link for more details.


All the shots you take can be found in the Album!


It looks like you might have a new snapshot waiting as well.

Challenges

Once you’ve received a reward for completing a challenge, check here to see what you need to do to complete other challenges. Find more information here.

Replays

Save up to 3 minutes of game play per replay.

Of course, you can record your brawls...


And your Home-Run Contests!


And your runs in Target Smash!!


And your exploits in Multi-Man Brawl!

The power to record and send out brawl replays is in your hands. You can even zoom in for a close-up on individual characters while viewing replays.

Masterpieces

Savor the "authentic" battles past for many famous characters through Virtual Console trial versions! Find out more here.

Chronicle

This bonus feature lets you peruse Nintendo’s library of past titles. Missing titles in your Chronicle will gradually fill in as you obtain stickers and other things related to those games. (However, there are some titles that will not be displayed until the very end.)

Mm hmm... ...This is just nuts.

How on earth did we squeeze all these modes in here? I’ve clearly gone overboard with Brawl.

But still, it’s not like I want everyone to play through every single portion of the game. I think I’d rather you played small portions of the areas you find interesting a little at a time.

Whether you choose to go solo or play with friends, you’re covered, because Brawl is about playing the way you want to play.[/center]

[Dances in Undergarments]

Interesting stuff.

That stair stage looks like it would be really cool to play on, too.

[TrustTheFungus]

I wonder if Chronicle is just a list, or will it have information other than release date?

Hey! One of the Stage Builder pictures mentions Clu Clu Land music!

[Captain Walrus]

This is pretty much a rehash of everything we already knew. The only thing new is the Chronicle thing, which is cool, but not worth a whole update. I'd have rather been surprised when I stumbled across it.

[nocturnal YL]

Hmm... did they put NinDB in their list of competitor? They're trying to do what Fry does?

I wonder if the time shown in Masterpieces is in minutes or seconds... How am I supposed to play Ice Climber in 40 seconds?


And you see, they have no official record of exact date of release of NES games!

And the Japanese one mentions Shin Oni Ga Shima!

[Da Robot]

This is one good update, I really like the Chronicle feature and those stage builder made stages looks pretty cool too.



Anyone notce some of the pictures in here? Look it's penguin vs penguin!!

[parrothead]

In this screenshot:



I see a Sticker of the original Ray from the first Custom Robo for the N64 only in Japan (and the iQue only in China).



This probably means he is not a playable character. However, the other four standard Ray models still have a chance.

In the Chronicle screenshot:



It has "Kung Fu" in the list of NES titles by Nintendo. Kung Fu is actually the NES port of the arcade title by Irem, "Kung Fu Master". Perhaps the reason why its in the list is that Nintendo published the NES version. 10-Yard Fight is also another Irem arcade title which was ported to the NES either by Nintendo or Irem and was published by Nintendo.

Well, this could either make him playable or not. Most likely he will not appear at all.

And by the way, has anyone seen these videos related to Kung Fu (Master)?

why?
we've seen plenty of stickers of characters who are playable, in a lot of different incarnations.

not that I would expect Ray to look like that if he actually is playable but seriously: stickers mean absolutely nothing when it comes to confirming or deconfirming a character.

[Fryguy64]

Thought I'd throw some of the Japanese screens in:


In release date order (is NinDB irrelevant!?) and Spartan X is in there too. It was a port of an Irem game - but Nintendo actually developed the port in-house, rather than simply publishing Irem's game.


And lookie. While it's the same stage, the music is from Shin Oni Ga Shima on this one.


Oh, and Fire Emblem is taken away and replaced with Super Metroid on the US page. The intrigue continues.

I hope they don't go over the top with removing Japanese content for the US/European releases.

[rukifellth]

Hmmm, interesting, also, does'nt the third custom stage look ALOT like the fourth DonkeyKong Arcade level?

I noticed that, and I presume it was intentional. I expect to see a lot of stages based on older Nintendo games turning up

[8bitretroshit]

The ladder infested stage really reminds me of Wrecking Crew.

And there's Clu Clu Land music

[TV Eye]

Hmm...s'okay I guess.

[wanderingshadow]

It's all pretty cool. I imagine that FryGuy is pretty happy about the Chronicle. Finally, some answers straight from Nintendo.

[Fryguy64]

Depends how "regional" the game is. Will we have lists of game releases for Europe? Can I check out the Japanese releases? What of the official Japanese romanisations? Note how the Kanji is given the Hiragana treatment? That oughta clear up some ambiguity! ;D

I mean, once again the American list doesn't list release DAYS but release MONTHS... and that's a pain in the ass.
