Bowser has been revealed as one of the fighters in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, marking his second appearance in the series. Smash Bros. DOJO!! also warns us that Bowser will have a "slightly different flavor this time around."

Now more chocolaty.

:D
Now, if they can make hair like that for Bowser, explain THIS!

MEGAß¥TE · « **Reply #3 on:** July 03, 2007, 02:02:07 AM »

What are we supposed to be explaining?

BP · « **Reply #4 on:** July 03, 2007, 03:19:26 AM »

Why the huge downgrade for Pit? Assuming those screenshots of Bowser are real, Pit could look a lot better than that.

SushieBoy · « **Reply #5 on:** July 03, 2007, 03:26:55 AM »

They would have to have come up with a new design for Pit that's 3-D. BP, just like Ice Climbers, they can't just keep the old retro version, can they? GaW was an exception because he was meant to be kept 2-D forever.

BP · « **Reply #6 on:** July 03, 2007, 04:01:48 AM »

You have NO idea what I'm even talking about, do you?

NintendoExpert89 · « **Reply #7 on:** July 03, 2007, 05:18:44 AM »

Actually BP, if you look in the E3 video, Pit's wings look just the way they do in the later artwork. They may have went overboard with the detail and just decided to make the artwork match what he really looks in the game.

In other words, Pit never received a downgrade. Only his artwork did.

To be honest, I'm not suprised that Bowser made it to Brawl. Not in the least. What I am sure of is that I'm not happy. I'd like to see some new fighters, but it doesn't look like that's going to happen for a while.

The Chef · « **Reply #9 on:** July 03, 2007, 07:52:49 AM »

Bowser looks more like his recent chunky design, which makes sense given the use of recent designs for the other characters so far. Also, I hope everybody pays special attention to the thing about most characters having a different flavor this time. Nobody seems to realize that this game's physics are supposed to be entirely different from Melee's, as stated by Sakurai himself.

NintendoExpert89 · « **Reply #10 on:** July 03, 2007, 08:56:42 AM »

I like this design of Bowser more than Melee's. It might be because Brawl's design isn't so Jurassic Park-ish.

My only question is, will he have the same dragon-like roars and growls as in Melee or will he be voiced by Eric Newsome or Scott Burns?

Harvey Atkin for Brawl '07?

Probably not. I just didn't want to sound like I was speaking for everyone.

Can't say Bowser's new claw design is an improvement.

MaxVance · « **Reply #15 on:** July 03, 2007, 11:30:30 AM »

I like Bowser's new design. It makes him look a bit more like he does in the games.

Robert · « **Reply #16 on:** July 03, 2007, 12:32:44 PM »

I liked Bowser's more dinosaurish design for Melee. Other than that, Bowser looks pretty good.

Area 64 · « **Reply #17 on:** July 03, 2007, 02:07:11 PM »

Why does Bowser always wear shackles? For fashion?

BP · « **Reply #18 on:** July 03, 2007, 02:10:46 PM »

To terrify you.

Toad · « **Reply #19 on:** July 03, 2007, 03:02:33 PM »

* Toad tastes Bowser.

Yuck! How repulsive..

Kojinka · « **Reply #20 on:** July 03, 2007, 04:50:21 PM »

And your point is?

Toad · « **Reply #21 on:** July 03, 2007, 05:08:45 PM »

I don't have a point, I just wanted to use that line from Mario RPG, seeing as it is a play on the situation.

I don't know what to think of Bowser's new design. I currently think that his SSBM design is better, since he looks more menacing there. The SSBB Bowser looks far to cute and cuddly, though I thought that about the SSBM Bowser before playing the game.

Mr. Wiggles · « **Reply #22 on:** July 03, 2007, 06:30:23 PM »

I like it. More detail and less shiny, which is what always bothered me about Melee's Bowser. He was too dark and looked like he was made of wax.

ShadowBrain · « **Reply #23 on:** July 04, 2007, 08:00:33 AM »

I think he looks fine. Stubbier, maybe, and he kinda looks like he's cloth for some reason, but fine. After all, at first, I didn't think the art/graphics were too improved... then I looked back at the Melee Bowser! It's like GCN looking back at N64 CG art for Bowser (the waxiness)!

Kojinka · « **Reply #24 on:** July 04, 2007, 09:48:40 AM »

It's very nice, but I kinda prefer the shiny horns, spikes, and claws of SSBM Bowser. But I like this Bowser's less waxy skin.

The Chef · « **Reply #25 on:** July 04, 2007, 11:37:15 AM »

This Bowser actually looks crusty, like a real turtle. The previous Bowser looked more like a dinosaur.

What's holding the bottom of his shell to the top?

MaxVance · « **Reply #27 on:** July 04, 2007, 12:03:53 PM »

I think he's sucking in his stomach.

His flesh. Turtle shells are attached to them, you know.

MaxVance · « **Reply #29 on:** July 04, 2007, 06:38:56 PM »

Normally the bottom of a turtle shell is also attatched to the top.

The Blue Toad · « **Reply #30 on:** July 04, 2007, 07:20:07 PM »

Haha. I like the new look. It seems a lot more responsive. In Melee, Bowser was little more than a blood thirsty beast, but with this new design he reminds me of what the Paper Mario Bowser would look like if he went 3-D.

Lizard Dude · « **Reply #31 on:** July 04, 2007, 09:49:39 PM »

Bowser ain't no turtle. He's a Koopa!

Boo Dudley · « **Reply #32 on:** July 04, 2007, 11:17:59 PM »

Hahaha good to see a smash brother built like me.

BP · « **Reply #33 on:** July 05, 2007, 12:04:10 AM »

You have horns, claws and a big green spiky shell?
Pics or it never happened.

Boo Dudley · « **Reply #34 on:** July 05, 2007, 12:19:45 AM »

No, I meant overall bulk. oh, so bulky.
