Super Smash Bros. Brawl is one of the Wii’s most anticipated titles, and is set to feature many of Nintendo’s most recognisable characters: Super Mario, Fox McCloud, Kirby and Link amongst others will battle it out together. In addition, Konami’s Solid Snake, the protagonist in the Metal Gear Solid franchise appeared in the E3 trailer, meaning that his inclusion is also very likely.
