Super Smash Bros. Brawl Blow-Out!

Wii

I don't know how we missed this one. I could have sworn we posted stuff on Super Smash Bros. Brawl. No, really. Hmm. Anyhow, enjoy this press release:

Nintendo unveiled a spectacular video of Super Smash Bros. Brawl for the company's upcoming Wii console. The amazing footage also revealed a variety of new Nintendo characters who will be playable in the game, including Meta Knight, the sword-wielding nemesis of Kirby; Pit, the angelic archer from Kid Icarus; Zero Suit Samus, the powerful Metroid series heroine minus her versatile armor; and Wario, who demonstrated a noxious attack of gastronomic proportions.

Nintendo also revealed that the game would include Snake, the gritty soldier from Konami's hugely popular Metal Gear series. Nintendo issued the surprise announcement during the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) in Los Angeles, which continues through May 12. Super Smash Bros. remains one of Nintendo's most popular franchises, both for its fun, over-the-top battles and because it brings the most popular characters in Nintendo's universe into one common setting. The latest incarnation, Super Smash Bros. Melee, is the best-selling game of all time for Nintendo GameCube.

I want to atone for my sins, so let me hit you with some media. Twenty-eight screens. Nine pieces of art. The logo. I'm not going to show it all here - you'll have to view the gallery below to see every shot. Sure, the screens are from the trailer, but the art's fresh.

I'll also point you in the direction of the official site, which contains a very interesting column by the director of the game, Masahiro Sakurai. Definitely worth a read. You can download the music from the trailer, too.
