With the release of Smash Bros for 3DS drawing nearer with each passing day, Sakurai has finally revealed details regarding the team of composers that have worked on creating the music for the latest Smash installment. Since early in development, fans have speculated that Sakurai would not bring together another musical ensemble like the one present in Brawl. This theory had been further backed by the fact that while the tremendous amount of effort put into Brawl's music team was announced early in development, fans had not heard any news about how much time and effort was to be placed in the new games' soundtrack, until now. Along with three short clips of what the new sound team has worked on, Sakurai has revealed the full list of composers for Smash 3DS, and it is as mighty and as noteworthy as Brawl's. You can sample the new tracks and view the whole list here.
What composers are you most excited to see included on the elite team? Are there any composers that would make the team even better? Who do you think is also working on the Wii U version? Discuss below.
