Forum:Brawl Expansion Possibilities
With the use of Nintendo's Wii Ware section in the Shop Channel, a number of things could happen, right? Well, I am wondering something very important. What if Ninty used the service to release new characters for Brawl that didn't make the final cut the first time? What if they released new level editing parts and N64 Stages?
However, based on Nintendo's business oriented manner, I doubt this would ever go past the drawing board.
I admit this came to mind because I was looking forward to using Tails and Knuckles in Brawl, but consider what I said for a moment Pieguy
Despite the fact that this would cause numerous problems, I think the character part could be like the wi-fi thing, when they make a new one, you can either keep one or replace yours with the new one. It has to be kept to one character or it would cause a character selection screen to look like those shopped ones that have like 100 characters and make it look very dirty.

- Very unlikely. An entire character with model, animations, and attack data would take up far too much space, make wifi battles impossible, and having the one-at-a-time deal would bring too many complaints. - Gargomon251 02:44, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
Using data compression it could take roughly 1/2 the amount of data to make a whole character. The character data could take about 16MB of data or less. Another thing, characters can be released in bundles of 5. If the new characters cause collision errors, patches can be downloadable.
To help the cause a little bit, I have heard speculation of the release of a USB Wii Hard Drive, as well as the Virtual Console release of Gamecube and Dreamcast games soon after. In spite of Nintendo's goal of keeping Wii small and simple, an upgrade of some sort is inevitable (be it Hard Drive, Rumble-enabled Nunchuck, or Rice Cooker), just like a new Wii color.Pieguy 00:52, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
It would be a great idea, but highly impossible because of the things listed above. It's a great concept, new character's stages, that aren't custom, and even maybe additions to the current characters. User:Marth117 28 March 2008 (UTC)
- I'm pretty sure I read somewhere in an interview that they had no plans of that, unfortunately. On the off chance they changed they're minds I know Nintendo is setting up the WiiWare and accompanying "Pay to Play" service. So even if they did it would probably not be free.
