Chris Kohler from Wired Magazine reports that Nintendo is showcasing Super Smash Bros. Brawl. "They showed us an ass-kicking video featuring new characters like [Konami's] Solid Snake and [Nintendo's] Kid Icarus, and Wario," he said. "They're having Miyamoto and Sakurai, the designer, talk about it."
Other characters are said to include Zero-Suit Samus from Metroid and Meta Knight from Kirby. The game will also feature online play, although it is unknown if it will be four players. Wario will have a fart move. Also, players will likely be able to use the GameCube controller to play.
Super Smash Bros. Brawl won't be available at Wii's launch.
When asked about the possibility of Sonic the Hedgehod appearing in the game as well, Shigeru Miyamoto said: "There are probably possibilities for other third parties as well, and it maybe that even know there are corporate discussions going on about including some of these other characters."
