Super Smash Bros. Brawl Earns Perfect Score from Japanese Magazine

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.
