Yeah, that’s right. Once you’ve got this baby in your arms, it’ll shoot off constant fire crackers that will explode. Talk about complete mayhem. In addition, you’ll be able to walk around and jump with the launcher, just as you’ll be able to do so with the Super Scope. But here’s the most interesting part of the official blog post:

“You can also aim the launcher at different angles by tilting the Control Stick up or down.”

So to all those who kept thinking, “Oh! The blog shows the Wii remote on it’s side! It’s going to play that way!” - you’re a bit off the mark. I don’t know exactly what their plans for a control scheme are yet, but that’s the big mystery, isn’t it?

My inclination is to think that it WILL support the Wii remote and nunchuk, simply because it’s the standard included with the console. Why ship a console without the controllers necessary to play perhaps your biggest seller? Of course, if Sakurai is really trying to go for a traditional control scheme, the Classic will probably be preferred/optimal, while the GameCube controller will also be supported. But those of you with simply Wii remotes and nunchuks, I don’t think you have to worry.

Smash Bros. DOJO!!
