Masahiro Sakurai to start work on next Super Smash Bros. installment

[Slowpoke]

After the successful Super Smash Bros. (N64) and Super Smash Bros. Melee (GCN), development has begun on a third installment in the Super Smash Bros. franchise. Masahiro Sakura is once again director for what has come to be known as Super Smash Bros. Brawl and will be updating www.smashbros.com with information on mechanics and features. It seems likely for third party characters to join the “brawl” this time around and fan speculation suggests Sonic, Mega Man, Solid Snake and Crono are the most probable candidates. Additionally, Sakurai has expressed his wish to expand on aerial combat and introduce a revolutionary new mechanic that involves characters falling over. The game will be exclusive to Nintendo’s Wii console and is expected to come out in 2007.

I hope there's still wavedashing.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Man this game is going to be awesome.

I REALLY hope Geno is in it!

Geno for Brawl everyone. Ridley is too big for smash and you all know it

 

[ZIO]

Geno needs to be in this game.

I don't see why they wouldn't include him. AND MEGAMAN too!

 

[KuroganeHammer]

This falling over mechanic sounds cool.

 

[Supreme Dirt]

Hope they make Mewtwo heavier. And buff side B and down-B.

I also hope they declonify Doc and Roy a little.

[Sky Pirate]

Ooh, I hope Tails comes along if they decide to add Sonic.

Ooh, I hope Tails comes along if they decide to add Sonic.

Hate to tell you, but Sonic isn't a Nintendo character.

Sakurai said only Nintendo characters can get into smash

Might be just rumors, but it's good to hope!

Screw the next smash!! Im looking forward to Mario Kart Wii!!!

 

[Aaven]

Solid Snake or Cloud Strife would be awesome, maybe even Gray Fox or Sephiroth if this is possible!

Also, I think F-Zero will finally get a second representative guys, fingers crossed!

 

[Omni]

Man, if Sonic is in this game I am so maining him.

I don't care how bad he might be; I'mma be the best with him!

 

[WindMajor]

I hope they keep Young Link! If they replace him I will forever hold a grudge against Nintendo.

 

[Jeffbelittle]

Slow poking, really?

So 2000 and late.

 

[Omni]

Which actually makes the effect of this joke even more properly used.

Thanks for the compliment!
