Three New Characters Confirmed for Super Smash Bros. Brawl

We don't post about video games enough on here, but I figured this big news was definitely worth it. Very recently Ness (of Earthbound fame), Jigglypuff (Pokemon) and Lucario (also Pokemon) have been confirmed for the Wii's version of Super Smash Bros.

A new trailer was released and the crafty people on the Internet found these three at the 4:20 mark. It took me a bit to track it down because it is literally for a split second, but you can see their faces/icons at the bottom right of the screen.

The trailer itself is just great to watch for those who haven't seen much of the game lately -- like myself. I did some Wikipedia research (somehow not a double-negative quite yet) and found a nice little section on the playable characters revealed so far. As I write this, the aforementioned three are not on the list, but it still gives you a nice little update.

My thoughts are that Lucario fits in nicely with the other Brawl characters and may be the character I'm most excited about. Oh yeah, and Pokemon is amazing. Super Smash Bros. Brawl should hopefully hit U.S. shores by March, but the release date is constantly changing it seems. It is supposed to be released in Japan at the end of the month.
