Hey, guess what? There is a game called Super Smash Bros. Brawl coming out this weekend for the Wii. You may have heard a little something about it.
In celebration of the occasion that either makes some people ridiculously excited or others completely annoyed, this week’s Great Retro Quiz is all about the characters featured in the original Super Smash Bros. for the Nintendo 64. Why the original? Well, this is a “retro” quiz after all and that was the most retro I could get concerning this series.
Keep in mind that this quiz is not really about the actual game as much as it is about the characters featured in it. I just don’t want anyone to yell at me for not asking about the difference and subtle nuances between “Break the Targets” and “Board the Platforms.”

As you all know by now, Super Smash Bros. Brawl has been delayed yet again by about a month in Japan and the USA. As far as the European release goes, we’ve never been given a street date but it seemed quite likely we wouldn’t be seeing hide nor hair of the bloody thing until Summer. Now that there are delays in the countries that Nintendo cares about, we in Europe wonder if we will be affected at all.

Well, Nintendo UK won’t tell us. In fact, when asked about how the recent delays will affect a European release, Nintendo UK would only say that “no European date has ever been announced for Smash Bros.” Well gee, thanks for that, makes us feel special.
Nintendo’s persisting treatment of Europe as if it were a second class citizen has almost become a self-parody.

You might remember Masahiro Sakurai, he was the director of the original N64 Super smash bros and he´s also known for his work on Kirby games. Sakurai left Nintendo a few years ago when he was up to build his own company but know he has announced that he will come back to direct the SSBM sequel for the revolution. I´m sure he will do a great job, he has a great rsponsability in his hands since the game will probably be the most expected Revolution game.
