An interesting Smash Bros Brawl update today from Sakurai. The game will allow you to enter personal names, with which your control preferences will get stored. It's even possible the settings will be stored on the Wiimote so you can take it with you to a friend's house.

Enter your name.

John likes his Gamecube pad.

Hey, I think that's part of what the menu screens will look like.
Orez said:
I think they purposely blurred out what looks like wording in the second box, anyone else see that?
PHiRE said:
I gather that's the character selection screen, where all the lil pics of the fighters are.
crystal lucario said:
It does look like blurred words. Can't read it! If that's the characters then there are a lot, so probably no.
Ril-eh said:
Oh that'll be cool. Customizable features win.
Smash Champion said:
The words and background kind of remind me of Kirby Air Ride.
smash fan x said:
Yep that's the character screen. They should show the characters they have confirmed so we'd know how many more to expect.
WIIPING FOR WII said:
I somehow doubt that, because making 2 rows is just ugly. They said that they might make it so that you can take your settings on your wiimote, just saying guys don't get your hopes too high up.
eric ♥ wii said:
Oh yea! I see the blur. I wonder what is really there?
crystal lucario said:
Does anyone have photoshop? Can somone use it and restore the blur to normal?
Captain Jamesman said:
I expected a darker looking select screen, like in Melee.
BrothaZ said:
I hope they don't do the wiimote thing. I don't consider one controller mine and it'd be hard to tell which one had the right character. Unless I get colored wiimotes.
Crimson Hawk said:
I love doing this, and I wonder if you can name the COM too?
Hey said:
I ssee that, Orez. It is definitely intentionally done, because if you look to Samus's right, (left of samus) you can see part of it. Question: Why would they do that? A special mode they don't want to reveal?

I am not really enjoying that background there.
Scooby Jew said:
It says on the site "The character-selection screen is still a secret!" which would mean that yes, it is part of what the menu looks like, but it's also blurred. No point in even noticing the fact it's part of the menu. The thing I really care about is the fact you can change button configurations and transfer those changes to your Wiimote for when you go to a friend's house. Today's update was probably the best yet. I hated the same button configuration that sucked horribly (all the buttons that jumped was the worst part).
Master Foot said:
Those are definitely screens from the developmental stage. They better be. I think that the pixelated background was done in order to hide upcoming secrets. Call it a hunch, but the next character to be revealed is Varia Suit Samus.

I like my gamecube pad too.
Sonic Phantom said:
Interesting news. Hopefully, they'll put in tournament mode like they did in Melee.
Nova said:
I think you could actually do that on the old version.
wii-hoo said:
Hey have you guys noticed something on the first screen? It says multiplayer. They don't call it multiplayer, they call it versus match right? Does that mean thy are changing it, or is that the wi-fi saying.

I think that the tournament mode could be made online and four at a time, seeing how high you go up on the ranks maybe earning Wii points.

I put in different names all the time in Melee. I would like invite my friends over all the time and we'd do this.
