Super Smash Brothers Wii, Featuring Solid Snake

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the tricky-nintendo-very-tricky dept.

mcc writes "In a surprise news conference this evening, Nintendo unexpectedly revealed Super Smash Bros. Brawl for the Nintendo Wii, and released a promo video of the title. Smash Bros. Brawl will feature online play; a Nintendog item that blocks your view of the playfield by jumping up on the screen and demanding to be petted; bizarre Dragonball Z style superattacks; your choice of traditional Gamecube or motion-sensing Revmote control; and new characters in the form of Samus (without the suit), Meta Knight, Kid Icarus (!), and... Konami's Solid Snake, complete with a cardboard box he hides in. The only bad news is despite earlier reports it would be a launch title, Smash Bros. Brawl will not be out until 2007."

  1. Online not comfirmed... and the controller by SeanMon · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Gamespot's article states that "Sakurai said his team will try to take the game online, but he thinks it would be a hard to make four-player online work."

    I think much of the appeal of this game would be lost if online weren't supported.

    Also from the article:
    "He then dropped a hint, saying gamers may not want to throw away their old GameCube controllers, which the Wii supports."
    Hmmm...

  2. Sonic by m0RpHeus · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Since Nintendo seems to be getting characters from non-Nintendo franchises, they should include Sonic! The dream match of the lifetime! Sonic VS Mario! That would kickass!

    You can also probably include X or Zero from the Megaman series as well.
