Super Smash Bros. Brawl

You know and love all the great Nintendo game characters like Mario, Luigi, Link, etc. Did you know you can battle them against each other, though? (As Super Smash Bros. came out around nine years ago, I’d hope you know about it now.) If you haven’t heard about it and you own a Wii,  Super Smash Bros. Brawl (GameSpot Review) continues the Nintendo tradition of pitting game characters against each other in a single game.

The latest incarnation for the Nintendo Wii offers online multiplayer action, the ability to trade screengrabs and custom levels, and even more characters to choose from (while still maintaining balance and playability.)

While the game is best played with a bunch of friends, Super Smash Bros. Brawl does offer a single-player game that’s kinda cool.

The real fun with this game comes in picking your favorite Nintendo character and battling 2D style with friends or family or even strangers you may never have met except for online.

Some of the 35 characters (14 are hidden and need to be unlocked) include Meta Knight from Kirby, Fox McCloud from Star Fox,  Pikachu from Pokémon, and more. This is the biggest Super Smash Bros. Brawl yet.

If you’re worried about being able to control your favorite character with the new Wii controller, don’t be. The game can be played with the Wii Remote and Nunchuck, the Wii Remote, the classic controller, or the GameCube Controller, making it easy to bring your character to life and brawl with the best of them.

Another great site to check out is the Super Smash Bros. Brawl DOJO. IGN also has a good Super Smash Bros. Brawl write-up, including reviews of the game, tips for the game, screenshots, walkthroughs, cheats and a whole lot more.

If you’ve ever wondered if Mario could take on Metroid and win, Super Smash Bros. Brawl is the game for you – it’ll let you pit your favorite Nintendo characters against each other.
