Super Smash Bros. Brawl - so the game’s director has posted on the official game site - is to be designed to be easy enough to appeal to newcomers. So it sounds like the game will not be targeted towards fans of overly fiddly combos. This is perhaps a good thing, as one might hurt one’s wrist flicking about the Wiimote too quickly. Wii-wrist is no doubt going to me a medically recognised condition amongst many gamers this time next year!
Back to Super Smash Brawl, Masahiro Sakurai also discusses the awesome character line-up, stressing that it is still to be finalised and they are still likely to add one or two other well-known non-Nintendo characters into the game. Finally, there is also the mention of a possible Smash Bros. title on DS, which really would keep the fanboys happy.
Watch this space to hear more on this, plus to find out who those characters are, as soon as SPOnG finds out. Random guesses in the forum below please.
