Super Smash Bros. Brawl director Masahiro Sakurai made an appearance at last week's Tokyo Game Show as part of a talk event hosted by Metal Gear Solid producer Hideo Kojima. The topic of Smash Bros. Brawl came up only once, with Sakurai assuring that development is proceeding smoothly with the game.

It turns out that Sakurai had a bit more to say on the subject, but he was holding out for an interview with Japan's Weekly Famitsu. This week's issue contains the text of the interview.

Mostly, Sakurai reinforced statements he'd made in the past about his big Wii project. Smash Bros. Brawl will definitely see Japanese release in 2007, he said, although he wouldn't commit to a more specific time frame.

Following a discussion in which Sakurai commented that many Wii games seem to be tailored around the Wii controller, Famitsu asked if Smash Bros. Brawl won't be using the controller's special functionality at all. "At the very least, you won't be using it during normal play," responded Sakurai.

Smash Bros. Brawl seems to be getting all of Sakurai's attention at the moment. Famitsu asked if he's working on anything aside from the Wii title and a recent concert that he lead in Tokyo. Apparently, Sakurai has gotten many offers, but he's turned them all down. "I feel the need to fully take on the responsibility when taking on a job. This has become even more important since becoming a freelancer. If you take on two projects, you definitely won't be able do a good job with a game as big as Smash Bros. Brawl."

While Nintendo didn't have a presence at the Tokyo Game Show, and thus didn't show off anything from Smash Bros. Brawl, it's possible that we'll learn more when the big Japanese Wii tour kicks off in November. ...

According to a report discussed on 1up, a new study by the Nielsen folks finds that more than half of the 117 Million U.S. online gamers are women. From the article:
"The study's announcement release doesn't break down what games they're playing, though we expect sites like pogo.com, which feature a multitude of Flash-based games are rather high on the list. Even more surprising is how many older gamers are playing. While the teenage market dominates in numbers, the study says more than 15 million gamers, about 8%, are actually at least 45 years old." ...

Looks like peoples in the retail industry are getting pretty stoked about the Wiis about to make it into their respective stores. We got our hands on the CompUSA hardware / software markup sheet for Nintendo's new console, as well as some spy pics of some Target Wii endcaps and the variety of accessories those will be stocking, as well. No, we're not that hard up for stuff on the console, but we do think that $12.50 is a pretty weak margin on the console, while, as expected, games, and accessories have a much fatter profit for retailers. Anyway, check it out (price on the left is, of course, retail; price on the right is cost):

WII CONSOLE - 249.99 / 237.50
WII REMOTE CONTROLL - 39.99 / 32.00
WII POINTS CARD - 24.99 / 17.00
WII CLASSIC CONTROLLER - 19.99 / 14.50
WII NUNCHUK CONTROLLER - 19.99 / 14.50
WII GPAK ORGANIZER&TRAVEL - 29.99 / 18.95
WII RAYMAN RAVING RABIDS - 49.99 / 41.2
WII THE LEGEND OF ZELDA:TW - 49.99 / 40.00
WII RED STEEL REVOLUTION - 49.99 / 41.22

The five Wii launch games that everyone needs to own. Start saving those pennies...

With the launch of the Wii just two months away, hype for the innovative new console is reaching critical levels. Every gamer in their right mind should be putting down some serious cash, ready for the launch - unless, like us, you plan on blowing your November wage on it, then doing without food for a month. Who needs food when there are so many games to buy? But if you can't afford them all, here are the five that you simply must buy...

Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
This one's a no-brainer. When a new Zelda game comes out, you buy it, no questions asked. But Twilight Princess is extra special; not only will it be the first Zelda game to launch alongside a Nintendo console, but Shigeru Miyamoto has promised this will be the best Zelda game ever - and we believe him.

We drool over every new screenshot that Nintendo releases. Seeing Link battling against giant armoured guards, with sparks lighting up the detailed textures on both combatants and bright metal shards flying everywhere is a sight to behold. It's the game that puts end to concerns about Wii's graphical capabilities. And we know that everything we've see so far only scratches the surface of what that game has in store. December 8 can't come soon enough.

Red Steel
Ubisoft is backing the Wii in a big way, with seven games confirmed for launch from the publishing giant. And Red Steel looks like the coolest one of them all. Aside from the fact that we love anything that's even slightly Japanese, the game's Tokyo setting and Yakuza theme makes for one massively intriguing plot.

Ubisoft is really trying to make something special out of the functions that the Wii Remote provides. The motion-operated gun controls will set the standard for all future FPS games on Wii. And although the sword-fighting mechanics were met with mixed reactions at E3 06, they have come a long way since then, and have improved massively. Check back next week when CVG will tell you exactly how well this game plays after an extensive hand-on.

Call of Duty 3
The Call of Duty franchise has undoubtedly dominated the WWII FPS genre since its first release on PC in 2003. Three years later, and after the stunning sequel that rocked Xbox 360 and PC, the third game in the series is launching an offensive on Wii.

So, the Wii version won't look as good as the Xbox 360 or PS3 versions. But we do know that Activision is cooking up some awesome control mechanics for the Wii, including thrusting your hand forwards for a melee attack, and motion-detected weapon changing. We're hoping it'll get some awesome motion-activated grenade-throwing action in there. Imagine how cool that would be.


Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz
Monkey Ball on Wii looks genius. From the moment we first saw the Wii Remote and learned of its tilt-sensing capabilities, Monkey Ball was the game we dreamed of.

Sega has made our dream a reality. You tilt the remote to tilt the level - it was the obvious application. But it works so well. We predict it'll take some getting used to, and our super-fly Monkey Ball skills might go a bit drunk when we first pick up Banana Blitz, but we will stick with it, conquer it, and show the world what it means to be a Monkey in a ball.

Of course, then there are the minigames, of which Sega is cooking up a whopping 50 in total. That's awesome, by the way. But as long as Monkey Target's in there and as good as it was in the past two games (Monkey Ball Adventure doesn't count), that's all that matters.

Wario Ware: Smooth Moves
Okay, so this one might not be available on day one, but it's expected to hit shops soon after December 8. And when it does our Wii Remotes are going to take a battering.

Wario Ware: Smooth Moves can't fail to make for hilarious party sessions. We played it earlier last week (read the full hands-on report right here) and we had a blast of a time - and the demo was only for a single player. But the real fun will start when the final game lands with all of its crazy minigames, and full four-player compatibility.

Do you remember those over-excited Japanese girls in the original Wii controller trailer that jumped around ridiculously while playing Wario Ware? That'll be us. Loving it. ...
