Super Smash Bros Brawl – Wii Review
Gamepyre :: Thursday, April 03, 2008
As I stated earlier, many people bought a Wii while waiting for this game, Super Mario Galaxy, and a few titles that have yet to be released. I have to say, these people made the right decision, because Super Smash Bros Brawl delivers on all it promises, and even some ways it never mentioned before. If you’re looking for a good multiplayer game to play when a few people are over, but need a faster pace than Mario Party, then this is right up your alley. Nintendo did a great job delivering an incredibly fun title, free of gimmicks. To me, games like this are what have kept Nintendo alive since I was a child, and will support them for many years to come.

It is another title in the ever growing Electronic Arts catalogue.
