Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Super Smash Bros. Brawl, known in Japan as Great Fray Smash Brothers X (大乱闘 スマッシュ ブラザーズ X Dairantō Sumasshu Burazāzu Ekkusu). It is the third installment in the Super Smash Bros. series and is set to be released on the Wii. It is also and the first Super Smash Bros. game that features at least one character from a franchise not owned by Nintendo. Its first official trailer was unveiled at E3 2006, while its second official trailer was unveiled at the 2006 Nintendo World Tour. Link and Zelda will reprise their roles in the game and will have updated costumes.

Gameplay
The game plays much the same way as its predecessors, though there are some new additions. The game can be played by using the Wii Remote on its side, the Wii Remote and Nunchuk combo, the Classic controller, or the GameCube controller. Players will be able to create profiles with personalised button configurations for each control method.

Some characters have many weapons at their disposal. Link has weapons other than the Master Sword, though only his bow has been confirmed. Zelda only uses magic, requiring no other arsenal. The game also introduces the ability to perform character-specific special moves, referred to as "Final Smash" moves. These abilities are used by obtaining an item bearing the Smash Bros. symbol, which are called Smash Balls. Each Final Smash ranges from projectiles to controlled attacks. Link's Final Smash, the Triforce Slash, dashes at a single opponent and does a barrage of rapid slashes to his opponent. Zelda's Final Smash has yet to be revealed.

Characters
There are some new characters making a debut in Brawl, such as Solid Snake. In addition to the playable characters, "Assist Trophies" are a new feature that allows a guest character to assist a fighter once they obtain a special capsule. It is unconfirmed if there is a Zelda character as one of the trophies.

Link
In the previous two Smash Bros. games, Link's costume was his green tunic he wore in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. In Brawl, Link's costume has been updated to look similar to his green tunic he wore in The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess.

Zelda
Just like Link, Princess Zelda wore her costume from Ocarina of Time in the previous two Smash Bros. games. In Brawl, Zelda's costume has been updated to look similar to her dress from Twilight Princess.
