At a special developer event, Nintendo has lifted the lid on Super Smash Bros. Brawl for the Nintendo Wii. An entirely new team has been pieced together for this outing, after Shigeru Miyamoto approached Masahiro Sakurai about creating a Wii version. Sakurai-san insisted that the Wii controller NOT be used for the game, therefore gamers can actually use their GameCube controllers once more to battle it out on the big screen. This confirms that the GC controllers can in fact be used for Wii games if so desired.

Single player will have (so far unannounced) changes to it, plus there will be a new online multiplayer option and lots of new characters! Confirmed so far are:

Pit from Kid Icarus

Samus in her sexy Zero Mission suit

Metaknight

Wario

Snake from Metal Gear Solid (at the specific request of Hideo Kojima!)

The game has also been confirmed as being pushed back into 2007.

Some other details, courtesy of Games Are Fun, include:

Nobuo Uematsu, the genius behind Final Fantasy's greatest tunes, will compose the main theme;

Opera singer Ken Nishikiori has lent his vocals to the game;

All the music in Brawl is performed by a full orchestra;

There will be a deluxe chorus with lyrics in Latin(!);

The atmosphere of the game will be changed, in a so far unknown way!
