Super Smash Bros. Brawl Earns Perfect Score from Japanese Magazine

12
While fans may be miffed at the recent delay, they now have little reason to cancel their orders: Nintendo's anticipated party fighter Super Smash Bros. Brawl has earned a perfect 40/40 score from the popular--though often controversial--Japanese magazine Famitsu.

The news also comes with plenty of new images from the Smash Bros. website, courtesy of the game's director Masahiro Sakurai--who, coincidentally, writes a weekly column for Famitsu.

Check out Captain Olimar's special moves, the new challenge mode, Solid Snake's final smash, and the Pikmin-themed stage.

Also of note is the appearance of Sheik--not a new character, but rather a transformation of Zelda. Interestingly, Sakurai notes that the model of Sheik is based on an early design drawn up during pre-production on The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, a game in which Sheik does not appear.

    Somehow this doesn't surprise me, but is great news either way!

        No, simply because it seems Nintendo wanted this game to be as close to perfect as possible from day one. Seriously, they have like every damn feature you could ever want in there, plus some.
