Haha, At Last

Bitter Rivals,

So, the Super Smash Brothers Brawl site relaunched and while it didn't have any new info on characters, Sakurai did let out a few interesting tidbits. Chief among these was the announcement of the composers working on the soundtrack. In an (as far as I know) unprecedented move in the video game industry, no fewer than 37 musicians will be contributing songs to the game. Included in the list was Yasunori Mitsuda of Chrono Trigger, Yuzo Koshiro of Streets of Rage and Sonic, Kenji Yamamoto of the Metroid series, Motoi Sakuraba of Golden Sun, and the unstoppable Koji Kondo. What does this list mean for the rest of the game? Only time will tell. What Sakurai will do with Brawl is still up in the air but after this I am more excited than I have been since I heard Snake was going to be in it.

Listen to Sakuraba's take on Menu 1, found near the bottom of the page. As embarrassed as I am to admit it, it actually brought a tear of happiness to my eye. Now if only Michiruru Yamane was included....

Show me your moves,
Crazy Hand
