So, everyone was a bit underwhelmed by the Smash Dojo (Nintendo’s official website for Brawl) relaunching last night. <a href="http://www.smashbros.com/">Check it out if you haven’t seen it.</a> If you’re a fan of the series and have been keeping up with news, then there isn’t much that’s new here. What is new may not be exactly what fans wanted to hear (new characters, stages, etc.), but there is something, at least. Hit the jump for a list of composers working on the title. The list is pretty prestigious.

A big thanks goes out to Chidosengan from <a href="http://www.smashboards.com/">our forum</a> for organizing the following list. It is not only the composers working on Smash Brawl, but links to videos or mp3’s showing off their skills.

Smash Dojo has “weekly updates” right at the top, but it remains to be seen whether this will be every Tuesday at 2am (Central Time, USA).
