    Still happy with the way the game is, but anyone see it? Shame huh.

    IGN: We have to ask because there are so many rumors about this. Are there any hidden characters to come? Can you unlock more hidden fighters by way of WiiConnect24 or will you offer new downloadable content -- new fighters, for example. -- using the service?

    Masahiro Sakurai: No. There are no characters that can be unlocked via connecting to WiiConnect24 or interacting in that fashion. And I may be mistaken here, but the Wii doesn't have a hard drive -- it's a disc-based system -- so I don't think we'll be doing that, I don't think it's going to happen.

    There are still downloadable custom levels from Nintendo WFC that come out every day/week. So technically, there IS still DLC.

    I was more surprised to find out that Sakurai is in love with the likes of DK, Bowser and Wario.

    IGN: Thanks so much for your time, Mr. Sakurai. We just have a couple final questions. First, who is your favorite character to play with in Brawl and do you think there is anybody in the world who can regularly win matches as Dedede?

    Masahiro Sakurai: [Laughs] I'm in love with all of my characters and I couldn't possibly choose one. And I personally believe that no matter which character you choose, there is the possibility that you can win your matches. And there is no character that will guarantee that you will win.

    In SA2, it's Super Sonic and Hyper Shadow.

    What I liked about the article was how Sakurai explained what he believes a sequel should be. Not just focusing on more characters and levels but more experience and depth.
    ///

    IGN: Have you done everything you can do with the Smash Bros. franchise now? In other words, can Wii owners look forward to a Brawl sequel in the future?

    Masahiro Sakurai: Well, the series has already had three iterations so I cannot say with one-hundred percent confidence that there won't be any additional Smash Bros. games ever. But, at the same time I'd really like to note that I feel like with Brawl there are already so many modes and so much to do that it's really hard to exhaust what you can do with this game. I'm really against the idea of merely creating a sequel that would add modes or increase the number of characters in the roster -- all the sort of things that just simply fatten up the game. I'd like to avoid just doing that if a sequel ever came out.

    They also said the game would be out in December. And then in February. I'll take what he says with a grain of salt.

    Estimating a release date is a little different than knowing whats gonna be in the game, especially this far along. If you still don't believe in no DLC your gonna be disappointed.

    Sakurai's response to the no DLC was so forthright and simple I don't know how anyone could still be dumb enough to believe in those rumors from a few days ago.

    All I really liked about the interview was the fact that Sakurai didn't rule-out Smash Brothers 4.

    Not that I'm tired of brawl or anything. I don't even own it. >_> But it's nice to know this isn't necessarily where it ends.
