Okay, so I just learned about this yesterday by a lucky youtube find. Apparently, people have been hacking the living HELL out of Smash Brothers Brawl, to the point of adding new content that was not in the game before.I shat you not. Here's probably the most awesomest Brawl stage you've never seen. And here's new character galore: From now playable assist trophies... ...to entirely new characters from completelly different games (Apparently it's now possible for a hacked Wii to import character models, soundfiles, animations, etc. - those however have to be modfied by the hacker in tedious work to make them function with Brawl. The keyword here apparently is "BrawlBox")Also, I came across this Stage Builder program that lets you build hacked stages with over 250 objects and defying the regular laws of the stage builder - WITHOUT your Wii having to be hacked! (For the record: I don't have hacking tools on the Wii, in case you were wondering.)Seems you just have to put those files on your SD-card and stuff that in your Wii, and you're done! ;D ... If you've got Brawl and are a fan of ANYTHING, this is like EVERY fanboy's dream come true to the n-th degree. Just look me in the eye (metaphorically speaking) and tell me this isn't freaking insane.

Oh man, this is awesome. Sometimes I'm amazed by these hackers, they seem to be able to do anything. ... ... Wha, was that Megaman volnutt, from megaman legends? how the heck did they get a next gen model of him? His last game was from teh PSX? ; Or already leaked from the upcoming 3ds game?

No idea. This is absolute madness. I believe I saw Cloud from Final Fantasy, playable Master Hand, and one of the Pokémon that come out of Pokéballs playable in other videos. They can even include new animations for Final Smashes or modify existing ones. Someone's trying to build Darth Vader, even. His final Smash is "Death Star shoots at stage". www.youtube.com/watch?v=Okg-uxMCtpE (see 0:35, 1:20) ... though so far it doesn't look nearly as impressive as it sounds. But hey, who knows what'll come up next? Also, for more info on how this stuff is done, and some demonstrations go check out WackaAlpaca's channel www.youtube.com/user/WackaAlpacaDidn't have the chance to go through much of it yet. I guess the Wii can be fooled into loading stuff from the SD-card instead of the game, or something. EDIT: Lol, James Bond vs Jigglypuff

Man Nintendo shouldn't be condeming these hackers they should be praising them for adding in new characters and features all on their own! But how the heck did one person manage to figure out how to de-code this stuff? Must be someone with too much free time and a lot of World Of Warcraft accounts : o

I remember seeing a couple of these quite awhile back, I believe they are done via an illegal homebrew channel but I am not sure, other then that I have no clue how I would go about adding characters that I would want. Believe me there are tons of characters I would want to add with their own animations, sound files, etc (including Roy's honking when you hit him hard enough XD)

Since when is the Homebrew channel in itself illegal?? It is a common misconception that whoever hacks videogames also does piracy. ZoDy: "Must be someone with too much free time and a lot of World Of Warcraft accounts" Eh, guess other people would think the same of us, drawing tons of complicated comical stuff and lenghty animations... ^^; But I don't know how many people were involved with what here exactly, not sure if it was only one person ... though admittedly, I didn't check for more info.

Ah yeah, texture hacks. That stuff's funny to play around with ^^ I've been installing some of those as well for a while now, it's cool to play around on revamped stages with different music and different (or just different-looking) characters. I haven't bothered much with those entirely remapped characters since they often tend to be a bit glitchy, but I've installed some texture mods of a "Metal Sonic" skin for Sonic, a Captain Falcon that looks like Viewtiful Joe, a Solid Snake that looks like Gordon Freeman, a Toon Link that looks like Quote from "Cave Story", a Falco that looks like Donald Duck, and plenty others (Rasta Luigi FTW?). Great fun. XD

Must be someone with too much free time and a lot of World Of Warcraft accounts : o OBJECTION! people playing world of warcraft, let alone several acounts, can't possibly have enough time to go to sleep, let alone hack an entire game. James BOnd was awesome in Smash bros. Heh, and Lol at the heavy not fitting voice.
