Smash Bros. DOJO!! opens wide

The Smash Bros. DOJO!! has officially opened its floodgates, and the leading man behind Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Masahiro Sakurai, introduced it by saying, "This
is the official site for the Wii game Super Smash Bros. Brawl—a place
where I offer personal, straight-from-the-creator reports on the
project."



Daily weekday updates to the website are promised, and to kick things off, Sakurai has detailed what Smash Bros.
is all about, for those unaware. He also confirmed the first stage,
called Battlefield, and provided an impressive list of contributing
musicians.



According to Sakurai, who introduced Battlefield, "...in
Super Smash Bros. Brawl, many stages will undergo elaborate changes
during battle. On Battlefield, the main platform will not change...But
then evening comes...And then comes night. You can brawl til dawn!"




Among the list of composers who'll add their own touches to Brawl are those involved with the likes of killer7, NiGHTS, the Kingdom Hearts series, the GRANDIA series, the Metal Gear Solid series, Pikmin series and Chrono Trigger.
Whether or not any aspects of those specific franchises will become a
part of the game in any way, is, of course, up for speculation.



Sakurai said, however, "We've
asked our group of arrangement supervisors to listen to an elite
selection of Nintendo music and asked them to arrange several of their
favorite songs...which means there will be quite a number of songs."



In addition, a sample track has been made available for listening, and Sakurai continued, "I
thought I would give you an arrangement of the song you probably heard
most often in Super Smash Bros. Melee, Menu 1. Motoi Sakuraba headed up
that arrangement!" He also promised, "Here on Smash Bros. Dojo, we will share that music with you through occasional trial listening."




Finally, the 'How to Play' section of the website depicts an icon
showing the Wii Remote in horizontal orientation, as if to indicate
that's how Brawl will be played. Be sure to check out the website!

I like what I see.

yay! the site opened!

oh yeah, you should also know only 3 parts have started and not one is finished.

It looks REALLY GOOD. I want to see the controls though, I can't see how SSB on Wii would work.

they will be using the CC not the Wiimote

Why is there a picture of a wiimote then?

the wiimote obviously MAY be used because the CC will be connected to it. However the CC will have primary use, they even say you can use the GCN controller
