Nintendo Media | Smash Update: Kirby and Pikachu

By Jorge Ba-oh 07.06.2007 7

Nintendo's adorable pink puffball and world famous yellow mouse take centre stage in today's official Smash Bros. Brawl Update.

This is Kirby, Warp Star-riding citizen of Dream Land who can suck up anything. His copy abilities allow him to steal the powers of other characters!

Yeah... He's the only character who really hasn't changed much from his appearance in Super Smash Bros. Melee. He's round, pink, and soft.

With perfectly round cheeks and a jagged tail,
this can only be that most familiar of Pok

It would have been better if they had actually shown Kirby with someone elses ability/hat.

They should make Pikachu look tougher. A cute smile all the time doesn't look threatening. He needs to be more like Ling-Ling. Smilie

Blah blah, now they just need to reconfirm the rest of the "new" characters.

The whole point of Pikachu is that he looks so cute, cuddly & innocent.

& then he kills you.

So yeah, he's a demon or something.

Ooooh i cant hold the excitment in my pants!! Its awsome!!

I see all these people insulting the Nintendo corporation because of the lack of mature content. Yet there is something about Nintendo (at least their games) that strikes a certain unadulterated feeling of joy!!!  Pokemon Y - 1048-9263-5562

Oh God, I was scared, after seeing the first trailer for Brawl, that they had removed the 'real-ness' of Pikachu's mouth from Melee (As in the fact that it's actually a little hole. In the first trailer it didn't open at all). Good to see it's still there. I love little details like that ^^; I assume Kirby still has it too.
