Rumor: Super Smash Bros. Brawl Wii Channel in the works?

Rumors are everywhere, and even the highly-anticipated Super Smash Bros. Brawl for the Nintendo Wii is no exception to it. Check out what’s brewing down the grapevine about Masahiro Sakurai‘s latest epic about beating people up with random everyday objects by clicking on the Read More button below.

Rumor time, and it’s about the highly-anticipated Super Smash Bros. Brawl for the Nintendo Wii. For those of who were spoiled on the star-studded roster of the game, you may have noticed that there certainly is room for quite a few more people.

It seems that even the game’s director, Masahiro Sakurai, thought the same thing, as he allegedly plans to release new content for the game via a dedicated channel on the Wii. This title would be named SSBB: New Challenger, and it would grant you additional content for the game in return for Wii Points.

This comes from a scan of an interview with none other than Sakurai himself – a two-page spread of nothing but Brawl, Brawl and more Brawl. It’s all in Japanese, so the poster’s translation – which yields the information above – is a bit suspect.

In fact, some of the replies in the thread the scan is posted in already deny the news as real. Which is bad, considering that downloadable content for Super Smash Bros. Brawl would definitely be awesome. Until we get official word from Nintendo, though, this remains strictly a rumor – or even worse, just a pipe dream.
