Alwéér een driedubbele Brawl-update!

Gezien die van gisteren 'per ongeluk' is overgeslagen, vind je die in dit bericht terug inclusief de twee nieuwe van vandaag. Spoiler-alert! Het gaat dit keer namelijk over het geheime level van Mr. Game & Watch: Flat Zone 2, het muziekje van dat level én unlockable 'masterpieces':

Flat Zone 2

This stage is 2D, and for some reason everyone becomes two-dimensional when they fight here. It makes sense – this IS a Game & Watch.

So what is Game & Watch, exactly? Well, the Game & Watch series was made up of handheld electronic games that Nintendo began releasing in 1980. Over 12 million were sold in Japan alone, creating a huge boom. New games in the series continued to be released even after the Super NES was launched in 1991.

And this is the odd stage we built based on the old Game & Watch designs.

If you look closely, you can see that the characters have become 2D.

Basically, this part is modelled after the Game & Watch "Fire" game. If you land on the rescue team’s blanket you can make big jumps as if it were a trampoline.

Boing! Ahhh... Is bouncing a good thing? Or just inconvenient?

Over time, the stage will change. Amidst the plethora of Game & Watch games, what could appear?

"Oil Panic" perhaps?

Or "Lion". The lion tamers are to the left and right.

Even "Chef"! The chef can launch characters.

There’s all sorts of stuff in here that leaves the youngsters behind. This game really has no scruples at all, does it? Sorry!

Als je wilt weten hoe je hem vrij kunt spelen kijk dan hier.

Game & Watch: Flat Zone 2 song



Composer: Kenichi Okuma
• The copyright for this music is held by Nintendo.
• Check your volume settings.

In the Game & Watch games, the only sounds are beeps. Since there was nothing which you could really call music per se, we used the sound as a base and created the music with it.

And it turned out kind of...dark. Cool.

It reminds me of being in some underground bar, sitting next to an overdressed man who is wafting his cigarette smoke through the air, the pinched corners of his mouth evidence enough that he is plotting something full of intrigue.

...Well, those are just my idle thoughts.

Hidden Masterpieces

Even the Masterpieces have elements that you can unlock. The types and ways to unlock them are listed below.

This is the source of the Melee stage: Yoshi’s Island. This game was bundled with the Super NES outside of Japan, and is quite a well-known title.

F-Zero (1991, Super NES)

Zo unlock je deze demo.

F-Zero – the first of the series, so to speak. The Falcon Flyer only appeared in the comics in the instruction manual, though.

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (1998, Nintendo 64)

Zo unlock je deze demo.

If you’re using the included save data, you’ll suddenly be able to play with the adult Link. When outside, you can call Link’s trusty steed Epona by drawing the ocarina and performing the following pattern: ↑←→↑←→

These are all, of course, only trial versions. If you like one of them and feel like you want to play quite a lot, then buying it would probably be the way to go.
