Super Smash Bros. Brawl (Wii)

Super Smash Bros. has always been about pitching Nintendos iconic characters against each other and settling long-standing arguments on who is the toughest in four-player bouts. Using a combination of the two attack buttons and the control stick, players can grab, attack and produce blistering smash attacks that have the potential to blow away challengers. Brawl has upped the challenge by introducing 16 new characters into the fray bringing the total playable to 35 including familiar heroes such as Solid Snake, Wario, Diddy Kong and Sonic the Hedgehog. Super Smash Bros. Brawl also offers solo players an in-depth side-scrolling adventure mode called The Subspace Emissary. The introduction of Wi-Fi combat via the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection adds a complete new dimension to the brawl, with friends and foes duking it out in free for alls and team battles.
