Nintendo Names New Characters In Smash Bros. Game For Wii Console
A brawl at Nintendo's booth last night left dozens of gamers stunned – and wanting more.
May 11, 2006
Nintendo unveiled a spectacular video of Super Smash Bros.®
Brawl for the company's upcoming Wii console. The
amazing footage also revealed a variety of new Nintendo
characters who will be playable in the game, including Meta
Knight, the sword-wielding nemesis of Kirby; Pit, the
angelic archer from Kid Icarus®; Zero Suit Samus, the
powerful Metroid® series heroine minus her versatile armor;
and Wario, who demonstrated a noxious attack of
gastronomic proportions.
Nintendo also revealed that the game would include Snake, the
gritty soldier from Konami's hugely popular Metal Gear
series.
Nintendo issued the surprise announcement during the
Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) in Los Angeles, which
continues through May 12. Super Smash Bros. ® remains one of
Nintendo's most popular franchises, both for its fun,
over-the-top battles and because it brings the most popular
characters in Nintendo's universe into one common setting.
The latest incarnation, Super Smash Bros. ® Melee, is the
best-selling game of all time for Nintendo
GameCube.
