Confirmed for Super Smash Bros. Brawl: Luigi, Ganondorf, Captain Falcon, Marth, Falco Lombardi, Mr. Game & Watch, R.O.B. and Young Link

On Thursday, January 31st, in Japan the Wii fighting game Super Smash Bros. Brawl will be released. There will be millions of fans trying to get their hands on the game early, so it’s no surprise now that Japanese stores are receiving their orders for the game from Nintendo, that the game’s street date is broken.

As a result we can now confirm 1 newcomer and 7 veteran Super Smash Bros. characters for Brawl to you! Here are the new characters:

Luigi (from the Mario series)

Ganondorf (from The Legend of Zelda series)

Captain Falcon (from the F-Zero series)

Marth (from the Fire Emblem series)

Falco Lombardi (from the Star Fox series)

Mr. Game & Watch (from the classic Game & Watch series)

R.O.B. (Robotic Operating Buddy, known as Robot in Japan — from the NES games Gyromite & Stack-Up)

Young Link (known as Toon Link in Japan — from The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker)

The following character roster from the Japanese version of the game shows all the so-far unveiled Brawl characters, except for the already confirmed Jigglypuff and possible others we don’t know about yet.

Here’s a new gameplay video showing the character and stage select and a battle.

In the Subspace Emissary Marth and Metaknight confront each other and then… team up!?

Watch Pit VS. Samus VS. Zelda VS. Metaknight on Isle Delfino!

Thanks for the Neogaf tip Joe.

Update: You can find the last secret character, Wolf, confirmed for Super Smash Bros. Brawl here.

I mean come on. Why do you think that Bowser has creatures called ‘Koopa Troopas?’ This is because they are ‘Bowser Troopers.’

The individual in blue must clearly be the ultimate villain behind everything. As for the Ancient Minister, lookat his eyes for a second. Notice their circular shape. Didn’t R.O.B. have something similar? Curious, no? And I was right, K. Rool was a head in the clouds. Fear me.

ANd as for Mr. Game and Watch, it looks like THEY were controlling the Halberd. And that means clones of everyone’s favorite 2-D fighter.

By the way. R.O.B. is also a newcomer. You can’t just say that the Wind Waker Link is new when R.O.B. is also new.
