New Super Smash Bros. Crashes the Competition

Saddle up your couch cushions; Nintendo’s tough guys are back, and they brought some friends! Super Smash Bros. Brawl, the third game in the series, is coming out for the Nintendo Wii on February 10, 2008.

In addition to a lot of the old favorites, such as Mario, Yoshi, Kirby, Link, Fox, and Samus, several new characters make their appearance, including Diddy Kong, Wario, and even non-Nintendo characters Sonic the Hedgehog and Solid Snake! Also included are some new features, consisting of online multiplayer (using Nintendo WI-FI Connection), and an all-new Adventure Mode, called “The Subspace Emissary” which contains storylines for each character as they fight the evil Subspace Army. Concepts in the story mode incorporate other characters that join and leave your team over time, and the ability to develop your character. Special Brawl, an upgraded version of the last game’s Special Melee, allows you to pick more than one option for each fight. For example, you could make yourself big, made of metal, and fight in slow motion at the same time. I think that is pretty sweet, don’t you?

I also got a look at some of the movies from “The Subspace Emissary” story mode, and I have to say, I was not disappointed! The graphics are sweet, and it’s cool to see characters from various games interact with each other; for example, Fox saving Diddy Kong from the Poke’mon Rayquaza. Overall, I think this is going to be a great game, and I will definitely be checking it out. You should too, and be sure to take a look at these and other features I didn’t mention here. Good luck and good gaming!
