Slash wounds for all

It's almost been five years since Super Smash Bros. Melee hit the GameCube, and people are still maddeningly addicted to its frantic, four-player bash-athons. We've got quite a wait until Brawl makes its way to Wii (sometime in 2007, ugh), but at least new screens are pouring out of Nintendo on a regular basis.

The game's official site, www.smashbros.com, has posted 11 new, sword-studded images for your aching eyes to soak in.Game Director Masahiro Sakurai also states that updates may be few and far between after this, however, as he's in dire need of focusing solely on development. Given the crushing amount of anticipation for Brawl, it's easy to understand exactly why Sakurai wants this game to shine. Hit the images tab to check up on this work in progress.
