Game Description:Characters from across the Nintendo universe come together, and tear each other apart, in Super Smash Bros. Brawl as the over-the-top fighting franchise debuts on Nintendo Wii! Returning characters include Mario, Link, Pikachu, and Kirby. They're joined by a prominent cast of newcomers. Leading the way is Metal Gear's Solid Snake, who joins the Brawl with some explosive weaponry and his trusty cardboard box. Wario's also on hand. He's feeling stinky and ready to drop some, um, shall we say "gaseous bombs." Other newbies include Kirby's sword-swinging enemy Meta Knight, Kid Icarus archer Pit, and Zero Suit Samus, the Metroid star who enters the fray without protection from her armor.
