New Smash Bros. Brawl details and possible DS version unveiled!

Super Smash Bros. BrawlSuper Smash Bros. Brawl director Masahiro Sakurai said in a Q&A on the official SSBB website that the Wii installment of the series will stress “easiness” over the small details of combat, to help make the game easier to play for newcomers.

The ‘Brawl director also touched on the game’s character line-up, noting that it hasn’t been finalised yet. Sakurai said that the reveal of Solid Snake means that they’re contemplating adding one or two more non-Nintendo fighters to the game, but he notes that the characters must have appeared on Nintendo systems at some point to be considered.

Super Smash Bros. BrawlEven though an online mode was already confirmed by Nintendo President Satoru Iwata at E3 2005, Sakurai isn’t as quick to champion the now year-old announcement. The ‘Brawl team are apparently looking into the feature and hope to include online play in time for the game’s 2007 release, but we’re told there are currently no plans for leader boards or the like.

Sakurai doesn’t want to put a lot of Japanese specific characters in the game, seeing that the Smash Bros. series is popular worldwide. There still may be room for some specific characters, but you won’t see them taking over the game.

Sakurai also mentioned a possible Nintendo DS entry in the Smash Bros. series. While he said there’s nothing in development at the moment, he didn’t rule out a stylus-waving Smash Bros. for the future.

    Yous morons!
    Everybodys knows thats alls thes currents newcomerss ares Ike from Fire Emblem, Zero Suit Samus from Metroid, Pokemon Trainer from Pokemon, Diddy Kong from Donkey Kong, Wario from WarioWare, Sonic from Sonic the Hedgehog, Pit from Kid Iracus, Meta Knight from Kirby, Lucas from Earthbound, and Snake from Metal Gear Solid!
    Think of something more, you know, rational.
    I’m hoping for:
    Tails
    Waluigi
    Koopa
    Megaman
    I’m also hoping for Halloween and Christmas costumes. Such as Koopa being Dry Bones.
    I think they already included Koopa and Tails though…

  • zant

    II think they should have zant, link/wolflink, zelda/sheik, ganandorf, falco, krystal, starwolf, ridley, gigglypuff, mewtwo, and more characters from less well known games. The characters that I want the most are zant, krystal, ridley, and mewtwo, the most wanted character is zant which would be cool.

    [Moderator edit: Zant, there is such a thing as a spacebar on your keyboard, you use it to create a space between words, it's the long horizontal key, please use it after a comma or dot when you're listing names or starting a new sentence.]

    There has to be Raichu in it!
    Well I know “not a pokemon again…”
    Yeah, but…what about Sonic?! He looks like Pokemon too and is less important than Raichu…it has even just two colors (blue and beige) so …
    If you have given Sonic a chance…give Raichu a chance too! Be fair ^^
