Smash Brothers Brawl Release Date

For all you fans of Nintendo's popular Smash Brothers franchise, a North American release date has finally been set for the series next outing: Smash Brothers Brawl. According to the Smash Bros. Dojo, Brawl's official website, the game will be on North American shelves by December 3, 2007. This comes as a pleasant surprise amidst some speculation that the game might not be released until sometime early next year.

For those unfamiliar with the series, the Smash Brothers games allow players to duke it out with one another using a large stable of popular Nintendo characters. The game, however, isn't a simple slug-fest, the purpose being knocking your opponent out of the battle arena rather than simply beating him/her to a pulp (though the later does help with the former). Smash Brothers Brawl will bring the series which has already made showings on the Game Cube and Nintendo 64 to the Wii.

If you are looking forward to Brawl, be sure to check the Smash Bros. Dojo often as the website has promised daily updates through the release of the game. So far, the information has always been of at least some substance and is definitely worth checking out. As a proud Wii owner and a big fan of the first two Smash Brothers, I know that I personally will be lining up for this title.
