Captain Olimar & Pikmin joining Smash Bros roster
Category: Wii, Posted: 01/11/2008 at 09:48AM CST by Eddie Inzauto, Senior Editor
It had been a while since a new Super Smash Bros Brawl character was last announced, but a couple of days ago, game director Masahiro Sakurai introduced Captain Olimar to the fray via the Smash Bros Dojo blog.
Olimar comes equipped with all five types of his little friends, and without them, he's pretty much useless. The critters can be plucked from the ground anywhere Olimar stands, with each type of terrain lending itself to the production of certain varieties.
Each color Pikmin has it's own properties, such as flame-based attacks for red Pikmin or long-range for Yellow ones. They are further detailed over at the Smash Bros Dojo, along with a few nifty special moves.
I, for one, am pretty interested to see these guys in action. Only one month to go...

Jeez, who ISN'T in this game? I still need to put some $$$ down on this...
Well, I'm not in it...yet. But anyway, Pikmin is one of my all time favorite games. How much damage could they do though? I mean, the Pikmin are pretty small.
It all depends on which Pikmin you throw. Naturally, the Purple one is powerful and slow, whilst the Yellow one is fast and weak. And then you have the White one, with its devil eyes, boring into your soul.
Ahem. Anyway, this is cool - it's good to see such a variation in fighting mechanics.
