Super Smash Bros. Brawl - Video Games

The third entry in the popular Smash Bros. series, and the first to come to the Nintendo Wii. There are four ways to play the game, using the Wii-mote and nunchuck, using the Wii-mote(turned on its side), using the classic controller, and using the Gamecube controller. The graphics have been improved taking advantage of the added horsepower the Wii offers. There are new items, including the Gooey Bomb, which sticks to anything it touches and explodes after a short time. There is also the Cracker Launcher, which rapidly fires firecrackers into the air, the Golden Hammer, which is an upraged regular hammer that is faster, does mroe damage, and allows the user to float over open air, and the Banana Peel, which shockingly enough trips up foes when thrown on the ground. New stages will also be included, as well as updated looks for old favorites.

New Elements to the game

New elements to the game are the final smash, assist trophies and online. The final smash is a super devastating move which can only be performed once and only after obtaining a smash ball. Each final smash is character specific. Assist trophies are like Poke Balls except that instead of Pokemon you get a random video game character that assists you in battle. Online multiplayer will be a welcome feature to the series.
