Super Smash Bros. Brawl updates as of January 26, 2008

This is the final weekend before Super Smash Bros. Brawl is released in Japan. Director Masahiro Sakurai may or may not continue revealing bits and pieces of the game afterwards, but we’ll likely know all the significant new info before next weekend. That said, it’s been a long road since these Dojo updates started on May 23rd, and even longer since the game was revealed to the public at E3 2006. That said, you can check out this final full week of new info below, and the whole list after the break.

This week’s updates include:

Again, you can find the ENTIRE list after the break for your viewing pleasure. By Thursday (Japan time) next week, the cat’s out of the bag. Excited yet? Just a little?
