SSBB is going to last you a very, VERY long time! [Lots of Images Warning]
We all know Super Smash Brothers Brawl is a game that's going to last you a while. But how long exactly? Let's look at what's been announced so far. Keep in mind, there is still a lot more to be shown.
Main Battling Mode

Well, this is pretty self-explanatory and you know this is gonna last you a while. Battling by yourself against the computers and of course battling against your friends and family. This mode provides endless fun. On top of that, you will have to unlock all the characters, of course.
Wi-Fi Mode
Can't find a friend to play with? Now you can play with your friends around the world through Wi-Fi.

Even with friend codes and no voice chat, this mode can supply you with many hours of fun! And even better, Sakurai gave us this little nugget of information "We're planning a number of services that make use of Wi-Fi, but we'll reveal them gradually with the other modes. Enjoy."
Why must you tease us so Sakurai? DLC and WiiConnect 24, perhaps?
But of course... Brawl isn't all multiplayer is it? Well, of course not... there is the...
Single Player Mode
Single player mode is, of course, back!

And now it's better than ever. Hey, I wonder what those coins mean? Apparently, Sakurai says you don't use them to shop. What else could you use them for.
But now, Brawl doesn't only feature the standard single player mode, but it also includes...
Adventure Mode

A couple of months ago, Sakurai announced the new adventure mode which would be a side-scrolling adventure called "The Subspace Emmisary".

Not only will this mode be a full, robust side-scrolling adventure, Sakurai also says that it will feature character development. There's no telling how long this mode will be, but it will feature man levels and Sakurai calls it "robust". And today was announced the...

Team Play (Co-Op Adventure Mode)
http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamem...07_071005a.jpghttp://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamem...07_071005b.jpg
Now, not only can you team up with your friends competitively, but you can also work cooperatively.
"Basically, it is the same as a standard Smash brawl, so if you take damage and get knocked off the screen, you lose a life.
However, this mode features a space jump that allows Player 2 to return to where Player 1 is even after getting left off the screen.
If Player 2 gets separated from Player 1 by the screen scroll, he or she will quickly space jump back to Player 1's side. But, if Player 2 gets knocked off the screen by an enemy, that counts as a lost life."
My Music

With My Music, not only can you listen to the fabulous soundtrack by
thirty-six competent composers, you can also edit what songs will play on each level! The soundtrack already sounds AMAZING. You can clearly see an arrow on the screens meaning that most levels will have atleast more than four songs.
I'm going to spend many hours just going through these songs on the background. You even unlock songs in the game through collectable disks.

Some of my favorites so far:
Pokémon: Pokémon Stadium/Evolution
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Medley
Super Smash Bros. Brawl: Main Theme
Unlockables (Trophies, Stickers, Maybe MORE!?!?!)
Trophies make a welcomed return to Brawl from Melee! If Melee is anything to go by, there is going to be... A LOT! And they seem to be even more features now.

And now, stickers are being introduced. Apparently, they are a lot easier to collect than trophies. Personally, I don't see the point except for maybe for the few minutes you might spend making a funny picture.

The Characters
Not only will you probably unlock all the characters, you have to remember, all the characters play differently. Playing with different characters can really change the game than the usual method of mastering one or two characters and playing with them a lot.

I posted this in another forum and just thought it would be nice to have here.
