There was a time when people didn't believe in Brawl.

[Mystic]

Wasn't Brawl announced/shown at E3 of 2007? Like 4 or 5 months prior to NSider closing?

2006 - And it was announced that we'd get a "Smash Sequel" Or "another Smash Game" In about 2005 at E3 from an interview.

I can't even remember what I thought about that box art.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, OH GOD THAT'S HILARIOUS, AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
A lot of Smash threads before Brawl's release can be pretty funny if you look at them now, actually.

"NO GUYS THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO WAY SONIC WILL BE UPDATED ON WEDNESDAY OCTOBER 10"

*Wednesday morning*

*stunned silence*

"Wolf can't get in because Krystal would first"
"It doesn't matter that Geno has copyrights!"
"Daisy's so getting in"
"Just because toad's used in the moveset doesn't mean he couldn't be a playable character"
"Falco's getting cut, Mewtwo's back in"
"Tom Nook is a shoe in because with my awful logic, I have deducted that "Supporting character > Main character"!"
"Ike and Marth aren't getting in; They both have blue hair! Roy for Brawl!"

Insert huge "etc" here

[Allegretto]

I lol'd. It isn't real, it never came out. Nope.
