On March 9, 2008 Super Smash Bros Brawl was released for Wii console in Northern America. So, that means today is the birthday number 10 of a really beloved game among Nintendo fans. Yes, it was a long time ago although for me it feels like it was yesterday. We are getting old friends!
Nintendo’s multiplayer games are a thing, and this one won several prizes when released (like IGN’s 2008 game awards prizes "Best Fighting Game","Best Local Multiplayer Game" and "Best Original Score") also, the hype was incredible, all my friends bought it and it was the main reason to visit them.
When a new Super Smash Bros is coming, the most exciting thing is to know which characters are going to be added, this time the number of playable characters was way bigger than its predecessor, including characters we’d never have imagined being in this game, like Solid Snake.
Me, personally, I always used Link or Zelda in first Super Smash Bros and Melee, but in Brawl, Meta Knight changed my mind because it’s so easy to annoy other players with your twister (I’m that kind of player please don’t hate me) and when I wanted to play seriously I used Lucas or went back to Zelda.
Another interesting thing are the new stages, this game contains 41 selectable stages and also includes stages taken from its predecessor, Melee. My favorite new one is Bridge of Eldin and “old one” would be Temple. And now if you get bored of the same stages, you can create your own!
We are in debt with Masahiro Sakurai, the responsible of this masterpiece. FUN FACT: a picture of his cat appears in Pokémon Stadium 2 stage, when the battle arena turns to ice.
And you? What are your favorite things of Super Smash Bros Brawl?
