Brand new Spectactor mode makes our day better

One of the most awaited Wii titles, Super Smash Bros. Brawl is set to conquer every gamer's heart, as it brings a brand new feature, called "Spectator" mode, which allows you to gamble on the outcome of a battle. This is the third installment in the Super Smash Bros. series and it includes some of the most famous Nintendo characters plus various other famous critters belonging to other game developing companies.

The most famous of them is Solid Snake, Konami's trademark character, whom you'll see battling Mario, Sonic and even Pokemons. Back to the new Spectator mode, this feature was revealed on the Smash Bros. DOJO!! website and it'll surely appeal to anyone who's ever bet virtual or real money on any sporting event. This time, it's not sports we're dealing with (unless you consider virtual brawls a sport), but rather a way to stake your coins on the character you think will win.

Keep in mind that you won't be able to take part in battles, as you'll be using the Nintendo Wi-Fi connection to get the Spectator Mode going and no player data will be shared, it seems. Among the most famous bonuses included in Super Smash Bros Brawl is its impressive list of characters plus a level that features a fun PictoChat theme. The thing that draws the public to this game and its predecessors is the basic control system and fairly easy combat rules.

Unlike any other fighting game you've played, this title focuses on ring-outs rather than knocking out your opponent. Basically, it's a party game that everyone will adore, because it's a no-strings-attached title pertaining to the fighting genre that won't get your brain overheated, being however a neat way of relaxation. In the meantime I'm thinking about staking lots of coins on Zelda in case he's going to battle Solid Snake, because I don't quite trust Konami's main man in such games.
