Nintendo Counts Down to Super Smash Bros. Brawl

[JKTrix]

I called my Manaphy C.Ginyu.

Sakurai! You can't just copypasta a root link! Some people aren't smart enough to navigate to the page! On the Japanese site, he links directly to the page where you can get to the "Iwata Asks" segment.

Here's the link to the English one.

It starts with an apology from Iwata, then gets to the meat. This is 'volume 1', and if the one they did for Mario Galaxy is any indication this should provide some good background info.

Skimming through it quickly, Sakurai has revealed what company is making Smash Brothers with him. It's not HAL, who made the last games (they're probly busy working on something else), and I recall him keeping the company he's working with a secret 'til now.

Sakurai is working with Game Arts on Smash Bros Brawl. Any Lunar/Grandia fans out there?
This explains the massive upgrade to the Adventure Mode we've been seeing.
