"May 10, 2006 - Nintendo just pulled a fast one on us. At an after-hours press briefing a mere minute ago, the company pulled another ace out of its sleeve: Smash Bros. Brawl -- the next installment in Nintendo's popular Super Smash Bros. series. Details are just now rolling in, but we have confirmed the following playable characters: Pit (Kid Icarus) Solid Snake (Metal Gear Solid) Zero Suit Samus (Metroid) Meta-Knight (Kirby) More as it breaks.

I thought this was weird enough for it's own topic.

Three out of the eight games on Nintendo's website are new properties. Project HAMMER, Disaster, and ExciteTruck (obviously a spin-off, but different enough on its own).

Oh and the Wii only runs in 480p like the GC, so a new Mario Kart will but the same resolution as Mario Kart: DD.

Meta-Knight is a nice touch

More details have been posted, holy crap this game will be awesome.

"Under the direction of series creator Masahiro Sakurai, Super Smash Bros. Brawl will feature classic, GameCube-style combat -- not Wii-style motion-controlled combat. That means players who prefer to play the game with the traditional control setup can look forward to using the GameCube control-style they're already accustomed to. "We found that trying to implement too much motion-sensory functionality can get in the way of the game. We're looking at keeping the control simple, as it has been," said Sakurai. "The Wii hardware has sockets for the GameCube controller, too. So I'll just say now that you may not want to throw away your GCN controller yet." The game also features a range of new nasty toys, such as the ability to unleash a puppy from Nintendogs that will run up to the screen, put its paws up and obscure the view of the action. Mario, Kirby, Pikachu and Link have been confirmed as returning characters. Sakurai confirmed that Wario actually has a fart attack and that Solid Snake can use his trusty cardboard box. In the video trailer, Snake gets out of the box and says "It's showtime!" "We thought a lot about what to do with Snake and his moves in Super Smash Bros. Brawl," said Sakurai. "As you all know Snake walks around with a gun, but with Super Smash Bros. I didn't want to bring in a lot of real weapons. So that was a real challenge. But conversely, if we could use things like rocket launchers and other explosives, not only would that be fitting for Snake, but it would work for the other characters. But who knows. Maybe Snake will exclusively use explosives throughout the game." Sakurai said the decision to include Solid Snake when Hideo Kojima himself practically "begged" to include the Metal Gear character in the last Smash Bros. game. When asked about the possibility of Sonic the Hedgehod appearing in the game as well, Shigeru Miyamoto said: "There are probably possibilities for other third parties as well, and it maybe that even know there are corporate discussions going on about including some of these other characters." Even better, the game will be fully online playable in addition to featuring a robust multiplayer mode. "My plan is to include Wi-Fi connection compatibility and online functionality. One of the primary reasons Super Smash Bros. Brawl was created was that Nintendo, when taking Wii online, wanted to have Smash Bros. to do that," added Sakurai. The bad news is that Super Smash Bros. Brawl will no longer be a Wii launch title, but will instead be released in 2007. "

I'm getting a Wii.

5/11/2006 11:20:09 AM

I'm hoping that Earthworm Jim and one of the Belmonts will be in it.

EJ would be awesome. they are making a new game, so i could see him being in it maybe.

5/11/2006 1:14:45 PM

Online multiplayer.

Awesome new characters with the potential for more.

I think I just creamed my pants.

5/11/2006 2:02:33 PM

Solid Snake? Hopefully this means we'll get the other MGS characters in future editions...

5/11/2006 2:23:37 PM

im just happy to have warrior actually. he's my char in kart, party, and the like (oddly enough not the sports games though).

5/11/2006 2:25:15 PM

Meta-Knight is the best addition I have seen yet. I absolutely LOVED the sword Kirby on the NES version. It had so many moves and the sword only boss fight was epic. This will be great indeed.

5/11/2006 2:28:15 PM

I guess the introduction of suitless Samus was inevitable.

5/11/2006 2:55:03 PM

I'm all up for characters that wield swords. I'll play with suitless samus, if only because her weapon looks like a lightsaber.

5/11/2006 3:19:44 PM

What is the big sky ship that shows up in the trailer?

5/11/2006 5:36:34 PM

I think that it's the ship from Kirby Super Star in the stage "Revenge of the Meta Knight".

5/11/2006 5:48:57 PM

hopefully the wi-fi online play will be free like it is for the ds
