Brawl pits an all-star ensemble cast of Nintendo characters from every era, but unlike normal fighting games, your health meter counts up. With a predecessor that sold 6,000,000 copies, Super Smash Bros: Brawl has plenty live up to, and thankfully, it does.įor those who have never played a game of Smash Bros before (which is probably not many of those reading this review), Super Smash Bros Brawl is a fighting game, but unlike any other fighting game out there. Its now March 2008 and while not all of Nintendos promises have been kept, a lot have and finally we have the result in our hands – well Japan and America do anyway. A new instalment in the Super Smash Bros series was in production (Sakurai hadnt even been asked) and would hopefully be a launch title complete with online play. While we didnt get to see anything other than a mock-up of the console, we did get one promise. Satoru Iwata took the stage and presented the Wii (then Revolution). The GameCube was near the end of its life and the DS had yet to become the smash-hit it is today. Think back to 2005, its Nintendos pre-E3 conference – we knew something was up.
