Lego Wii
This was my entry for the Nintendo Shortcuts Showcase contest. I litterally finished it days before the deadline and mailed it to them by express mail. I came up with the idea out of no-where. I just woke up early one morning, pulled out all my Lego's and started building. After I was done, I decided to make this film.
Tell me what you think! If you all like it...I think I'll do something even more amazing.

Wii Sports Resort
This sequel to the popular Wii Sports makes use of the Wii MotionPlus accessory, which gives players the most responsive and realistic experience possible. The Wii MotionPlus accessory, which is included with Wii Sports Resort, plugs into the base of the Wii Remote controller and, combined with the accelerometer and sensor bar, provides an experience that gives players an even greater sense of immersion.
• Just as with Wii Sports, people will love competing against friends and family. As the competition heats up, Wii Sports Resort is as much fun to watch as it is to play. First-time players will find it easy to pick up a Wii Remote and jump into the action.
• Wii Sports Resort takes place on a tropical island. A wide range of activities will keep players coming back for one more round. Some sample activities include Sword Play, Power Cruising (racing a water scooter) and Disc Dog, which involves accurately tossing a disc to a cute, Mii-like dog.

OcTalk!: Songs from "Ocarina of Time"
I know...I know...this is super late. Since I'm a flash noob, the animation in the beginning took FOREVER to figure out, lol.
AND it was so painful trying to sync the tabs with playing the ocarina. Let me know if you like this kind of video though...
Oh, and I'm working on a special edition of OcTalk! to celebrate 10,000 subscribers! Stay tuned for a few awesome surprises xD - David

Punch-Out!! Trailer (Wii)
Finally!!! We haven't seen Punch out since the SNES! I think maybe showing Little Mack in Smash Brawl got people's interest.
It's a great idea for Wii, seeing how Nintendo already did boxing in Wii Sports! A perfect match.

The Legend of Zelda movie trailer
Yeah, it's time for the biggest April Fools Joke of all time...
http://movies.ign.com/dor/articles/863515/legend-of-zelda-movie-trailer/videos/legendofzelda_filmtrailer_040108.html
Wow. Sure, they'd need to put more money into the costumes, makeup, and effects, but this is pretty darn close to what a Zelda movie should be. Also, it's missing the obligatory humongous battle sequences that are prominent in Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, Narnia, 300, (and most) trailers.
Think of this as a major commercial for IGN, because, man, that's what this is.
Here's their article:

Dead Fantasy II
From Monty Oum, the creator of Haloid (Halo VS Metroid), comes 11 minutes of the girls from Final Fantasy duking it out with the girls from Dead or Alive. This is truly amazing, with a vertical wall-sliding battle, a bottle smashing sequence, an awesome winged creature, and a battle on top of large pieces of stone in a tornado (yeah, leave your disbelief behind).
Since Final Fantasy began on Nintendo systems and still crosses over to Nintendo systems, it goes on this site. Deal with it.

Pit bio.
a bio. of Pit from super smash bros. brawl
I love the new design of Pit for Brawl. I think they did a great job redesigning him. I was a little worried, because I hated the 3D design they gave him for his trophy in SSB: Melee.
But they made him very cool like adult Link. I think they should make a Zelda-like Kid Icarus game. It would rock!

Super Smash Brothers Brawl - What it should have been
I don't like the Final Smashes. Some are just too powerful.
Super Smash Brothers Brawl
Although I love Brawl, I don't think it had as big of a splash as Melee.
They only added like 16 characters to Brawl, but they took away 5 and replaced them with similar new characters (Pichu became Pokemon Trainer, Mewtwo became Lucario, Dr. Mario became Wario, Roy became Ike, and Young Link became Toon Link). So that's only 11 additional characters. Plus they added Lucas who's very similar to Ness, Diddy's like DK, Wolf is very similar to Fox, and Zero Suit is Samus. So I say they only added 7: ROB, Pit, Olimar, Snake, Sonic, Meta Knight, and Dedede.
Of these characters, I'd really only have asked for Pit, Olimar, and Dedede. (The others I'd ask for are below.)
If Brawl only added 7 additional/unique characters, with 16 new characters total, how many did Melee have?
Super Smash Brothers Melee
14 New Characters: Bowser, Dr. Mario, Falco, Ganondorf, Ice Climbers, Marth, Mewtwo, Mr. Game & Watch, Peach, Pichu, Roy, Sheik, Young Link, and Zelda.
8 Additional/Unique Characters: Bowser, Ganondorf, Ice Climbers, Marth, Mewtwo, Mr. Game & Watch, Peach, and Zelda.
So while Brawl innovated in many areas (online, one player, and expanded levels and items), they didn't blow me away with the new characters. The amount of new characters added was a little less impressive than the amount of new characters added to Melee.
Here's who I would have liked to see in Super Smash Brothers Brawl (I know some are trophies or bosses, but that isn't the same)...
24 Additional Unique Nintendo Characters: Captain N (cartoon), Nester (Nester's Funky Bowling and Pilotwings 64), Little Mac (Punch Out), the Ice Hockey trio (Ice Hockey, NES), Mike Jones (Startropics, NES), Isaac (Golden Sun), Balloon Fighter (Balloon Fight, NES), Stanley the Bugman (Donkey Kong 3, Arcade), Lolo (Adv of Lolo, NES), Dr. Wright (Sim City, SNES), Doshin the Giant, Custom Robo - Ray, Ridley (Metroid), Hammer Bros. (SMB 1), Lakitu (SMB 1), Wart (SMB 2), Zoda (Startropics), King K. Rool (DKC, SNES), Tatanga (SML, Gameboy), Eggplant Wizard (Kid Icarus), King Hippo, Andross (Star Fox), Ganon (original Zelda), and Mother Brain (Captain N version).
DISCLAIMER: I know it's painful. And I know they wouldn't be able to add them all at once. However, they seem to have run out of innovation and vision in this area, and it seems to be a shame. They just need a little imagination to make the moves different in order to make sure the game is still fun, even with 50 or so characters.
Part of the joy of playing the first two Smash Brothers was discovering the obscure Nintendo characters you haven't heard of and then playing as them. That's pretty much just Pit and ROB, this time around.
As far as other non-Nintendo characters go, I think they should go all-in, or all-out. I know the creators of Snake and Sonic asked for them to be in the game, but if the Nintendo legends asked these companies to include their characters, they'd say yes. I mean Capcom (creators of Mega Man) has already been making games for Nintendo. All the rest have similarly close relationships. They'd just start with the strongest relationships, and then show the growing roster to all the other companies as they get outside to characters like Crash and Spyro (who are also on Nintendo systems now).
I'd actually divide these up into three games: Nintendo only, mascots only (cuter platformers), and action/adventure games only (usually the taller characters who carry weapons). So there'd be some overlap between the Nintendo only version and the other two.
Here are the 24 new Nintendo characters I'd like to see...
---
Captain N (80s cartoon series)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captain_N
---
Nester (Nester's Funky Bowling, VB, and Pilotwings 64, N64)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nester
---
Little Mac (Punch Out series, 2 arcade games, NES, SNES)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Punch-Out%21%21_boxers#Little_Mac
I really like his new design in Smash Brothers Brawl. He's an assist trophy.
---
Ice Hockey Trio (Ice Hockey, NES)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice_Hockey_%28video_game%29
The Ice Hockey trio were a large man, a skinny man, and a man of an average build...
---
Mike Jones (Startropics) (2 Startropics games, NES)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_Jones_%28StarTropics%29
The first game was popular enough for a sequel, but they made the mistake of releasing the sequel on the NES after everyone had switched over to the Super Nintendo. I believe that's the only reason why this series died.
---
Isaac (Golden Sun series)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_Sun
Isaac's assist trophy in SSB Brawl:
---
Balloon Fighter (Balloon Fight, NES)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balloon_Fighter
How can you not include him with a name like "Fighter?"
---
Stanley the Bugman (DK3, Arcade)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanley_the_Bugman
I didn't really like his design in Super Smash Brothers Melee...
---
Lolo (Adventures of Lolo and Eggerland, A long-running series on the NES and earlier platforms)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adventures_of_Lolo
While Lolo was never published by Nintendo, Nintendo now owns the creators, HAL:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HAL_Laboratory
HAL is also the creator of Kirby, Earthbound/Mother, Dr. Wright (Sim City 64), and the Super Smash Brothers series.
"Lolo and Lala, the games' protagonists, have appeared in the Kirby games under the monikers Lololo and Lalala, where they play a more antagonistic role. Both game series are made by HAL Laboratory, Inc."

Lakitu (SMB and Super Mario series)

---
Tatanga (SML, GB)

Tatanga was introduced in Super Mario Land, which is where Daisy came from.
---
King Hippo (Punch Out series, Arcade, NES, SNES)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_Hippo#King_Hippo
---
Ganon (Legend of Zelda, at least 3 games, NES, SNES)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ganon
This is the original pig Ganon. He's unique because he wouldn't play like Ganondorf at all. He'd rely on his magic spells and girth.
---
Andross (Star Fox series)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_characters_in_the_StarFox_series#andross
Not the SNES polygon version. I mean as the actual ape character:
---
Mother Brain (Metroid series and Captain N cartoon)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metroid_%28series%29#Comics_and_cartoons
This would be of the Captain N version:
---
So, yeah, these are older characters (mostly), because that's what they haven't done as well with. They haven't dug into their past as well with this version. Now, they tried to do that with trophies and such, but they didn't do that with playable characters.
SSB 1 had 6 new characters from the 80s: Donkey Kong, Link, Luigi, Mario, Ness (originally Ninten), and Samus.
SSB 1 had 6 new characters from the 90s: Captain Falcon, Fox McCloud, Jigglypuff, Kirby, Pikachu, and Yoshi.
Total characters from new series': 9
SSB 2 (Melee) had 5 new characters from the 80s: Bowser, Ice Climbers, Mr. Game & Watch, Peach, and Zelda.
SSB 2 (Melee) had 7 new characters from the 90s: Dr. Mario, Falco, Ganondorf, Marth, Mewtwo, Sheik, and Young Link.
SSB 2 (Melee) had 2 new characters from the 00s: Pichu and Roy.
SSB 3 (Brawl) had 3 new characters from the 80s: Pit, ROB, and Solid Snake (only Pit is from an actual Nintendo game).
SSB 3 (Brawl) had 7 new characters from the 90s: Diddy Kong, Dedede, Meta Knight, Pokemon Trainer, Sonic the Hedgehog, Wario, and Wolf (only Sonic is from a new series to SSB).
SSB 3 (Brawl) had 6 new characters from the 00s: Ike, Lucario, Lucas, Olimar, Toon Link, and Zero Suit Samus (only Olimar is from a new series).
As you can see, they are concentrating on more recent characters. That's okay, but some of these other 80s games were amazing, and they should introduce their new gamers to these characters for an opportunity to revive some of these great series.
---
18 Non-unique Nintendo Characters: Waluigi, Birdo (SMB2), Daisy (SML, GB), Toad (SMB), Pauline (Donkey Kong), Baby Mario, Funky Kong (DKC), Dixie Kong (DKC 2), Krystal (Star Fox), Slippy (SF), 3 Koopalings (Lemmy Koopa, Wendy Koopa, & Morton Koopa, from SMB3 and SMW), and 5 more F-Zero racers (Samurai Goroh, Mr. EAD, Black Shadow, Gomar & Shioh, Bio Rex).
13 Unique Non-Nintendo Characters: Mega Man, Q*Bert, Pac-Man, Simon Belmont, Crash Bandicoot, Frogger, Spyro, Ninja Gaiden, Pitfall Harry, Contra dudes, Cloud on a Chocobo (Final Fantasy), Mog the Moogle (Final Fantasy), Blue Slime (Dragon Warrior), Paperboy, and Lara Croft.
---
Now my thoughts on two of the only three characters they added that I would have wanted in Brawl...
Pit
I love Pit. I think they did a great job redesigning him. I was a little worried, because I hated the 3D design they gave him for his trophy in SSB: Melee.
But they made him very cool like adult Link. I think they should make a Zelda-like Kid Icarus game. It would rock!
I'm glad they didn't use his Captain N design:
Or his previous game designs:
From SSB Melee:
The fans are dreaming:
Olimar
I worked on the first GC game of Pikmin as a tester/text editor. I was rooting for Olimar. I was glad to see they added him.
I also submitted a ton of ideas for the sequel to Pikmin, and most of them made it in there. The only ones that didn't were all my online ideas.
Check out our original Zelda and Mike Tyson animations if you get a chance. Thanks!
