This might be the first time <i>Smash Bros.</i> is doing a fly-by of a stage I actually RECOGNIZE... The only other such level would've been the F-Zero ones, such as Mute City, which I soundly don't, having not played much of that series.
But Christ, it's exactly like I remembered it (barring the platforms by the giant Shine Sprite)... that's going to be a fun stage, methinks.
For some reason this has me really excited. I think it actually looks a lot nicer than in the original game. Hopefully they have more fly by levels like this and some interactivity in the level itself - like the cars in Mute City from Melee.
Why DOES this game look so good? It's certainly miles ahead of everything else that's come out for the console so far. (Which have generally looked like ass.) Have developers just not been trying very hard, or what?
"Bigger" sure is a relative measurement! Those screenshots are only 640x480, which I guess means that's the exact resolution the game will actually be running in. Hardly impressive.

I was actually talking about the new Delfino Island level. In Sunshine it didn't look nearly as good. I think Brawl as a whole looks about what I'd expect it to. It doesn't look like it's going to blow my mind as far as what the Wii can do.

And that was what 'holic said back then, too, right GG?
640x480 is pretty small! But then, I don't even have an HDTV, so it doesn't make much difference to me. If I was playing it on my computer though, it'd drive me crazy.

I hate how Yoshi's Story ranks higher than Yoshi's Island in Nintendo's eyes. I've always hated the squeaky Yoshi voice. They need to go back to that weird sound they used back in Super Mario World. Hell, it was still around for Mario Kart 64.
