Do we really need every single screenshot from the official website? This is excessive. Once more characters are revealed, this page is going to be so bloated that it will take forever to load.

They are all official press releases (minus the trailer screenshots), each unique and wonderful and amazing and most importantly useful in cases where there may be certain aspects of an image (including objects, stages or character moves) which may be a subject of future articles.

So what if they're official press releases? No other page has such a barrage of screenshots of press releases from a single game. We aren't the Smash Bros. site either. Although I like the pictures, it's unnecessary to have every single screenshot from the site. Useful? Some of them will be, but most of these will have links only to this article, and besides, I believe we shouldn't put specific screenshots pertaining to this page either. That goes to the respective article. For instance, screenshots of Pokemon fall mainly into the Pokemon page, not in a game gallery.
This page is even bigger than Brawl's gallery. Brawl is big because it has a big load of useful texture dumps and some images from the Subspace Emissary. I'd like more gameplay screenshots, but those would be the ones I'd take myself. But, my point is that while Brawl is reasonably big, this page is bloated, and I like some trimming. Having a gallery pertaining to a pre-released game that's bigger than another gallery pertaining to a more recent game (older games related to galleries, such as Mario Party 6, tend to be much smaller, so I can't compare) is incredible.
I really do like anything related to this game, but all of this, again, is unnecessary.
