Maybe there's a sign that there will be pikman, animal crossing and many more characters.

The "Re-Launch" turned out to be the creator promising to give us an update EVERY day! You should not be disappointed. It's Ninty. Did you really expect them to unveil something like "Sonic in Brawl"? They are incredibly secretive and this is a good sign. The site got a make-over and looks nicer. Check out the site out every day after you are done on WiisWorld. My guess is later on, we will be getting some new info.

When I played Kingdom Hearts 2, besides playing the game, all I could think about was the music in it. GO YOKO SHIMOMURA!

That's good. One of my favorite parts to a game is its music. That is why I make the songs on Garageband and burn them to discs.

I want sora to be in this game so bad, with the world that never was, as a level. Also, it needs to hurry up and be released.

Yeah, the music sounds AWESOME. It is the old one redone with some added details. I hope the new website doesn't give us too much unnecessary information, because if they do, when we play the game for the first time, it will all be old already and nothing will fresh. But I do hope they give us plenty of little tidbits of info, just to satisfy our appetites.

No Danny Elfman? (The Simpsons and Spiderman's composer, perhaps some more famous shows, I don't know). Who really cares about the composers anyways? Show some characters!

Fire Emblem Fan 14 said:

Yes go Fire Emblem and Kingdom Hearts but will this mean characters from these games will come in? Please, I want Ike and Sora.

Wii and KH said:

SO basically, with Yoko Shimomura as a composer that kind of proves that Sora is in Brawl and/or a KH game is coming to Wii, presumably KH3.

I have heard just the FIRST bit of music, and even that sounds good. Nice line-up.

Well there is a KH Wii game coming out early 2008 and it is called "Mushroom Kingdom Hearts" and it takes place in ::Surprise:: the mushroom kingdom, therefore, Sora MAY be in Brawl. But I'm also hoping for Riku or King Mickey.

Umm Kirby4030, "Mushroom kingdom hearts" was an april fools joke by electronic gaming monthly.

That's a lot of composers for one game.

FreeFaller said:

Sora would be an excellent addition to super smash bros, it would be my most played character.

Chaos said:

These guys. They're an all-star cast for video game music. That's got to be a good sign for the final quality of Brawl, right?

Tomoko Sasaki worked as the main composer for sonic the hedgehog 2 along with tons of all more recent games. Read between the lines, let's get a more complete list of these guys previous works. Along with more reasoning behind "This is dangerous. It's a little risky. If you're wondering what I'm talking about, it's the line-up of musicians who are contributing to Super Smash Bros Brawl. Just take a look at this list!".
