Dojo update: Shadow Moses Island

by David Hinkle { Oct 2nd 2007 at 2:15PM }

There just might be a new level to topple our current favorite from Smash Bros. Melee, Hyrule. Not only is this stage a wonderful piece of nostalgia, it is also fairly functional and includes a feature we wish more stages had: nowhere to fall to your death. Seriously, we hate ourselves some plunging to doom. Oh, and occasionally a Metal Gear will appear. Rock!

Click on through to check out some videos aside from the ones featured this morning, including one where Snake talks about him and Samus taking their clothes off. "!" indeed.

Does this stage remind you of the "VALHALLA"ship in MP3:C?

SNAKE and SAMUS... No way? More like Samus and Yoshi (GIGGEDY GIGGEDY GOO).

Every Brawl stage is the same shape.

@ JC

It does seem that way, a lot of stages look identical, but the ones with basic designs seem to go heavy on the interactive side (like the entirely destructible Kid Icarus stage) or even this one, with the searchlights, destructible platforms and backgrounds, enemy appearances, and Snake briefings

Then you've got Fire Emblem Castle Siege, which is just insane in scope

I'm still laughing about the movies. He wants to fuck Samus, eat Yoshi, and is creeped out by Wario

No way this game's getting an E (granted, Melee didn't either)

i think Hyrule was the favorite across the board. its great sometimes to play on a level thats not going to fight you as hard as the opposing players lol. i hope this is as good as Hyrule though. i could stand a Metal Gear appearance from time to time if they do it like Corneria.

If you read the site and not just look at the pictures, the Metal Gear from MGS4 will be in the game! Which also says that there will be a Metal Gear in MGS4.

JC Fletcher:
But, they do have their differences. I mean, Shadow Moses Island is quite a small stage, and then periodically gigantic mechs pop out of nowhere and bombard the stage with explosives.
