| ===[[Adventure Mode]]=== | | ==E3 2005/06/07== |
| ====Stages====
| | At E3 2005, the Nintendo Revolution (now called [[Wii]]) was unveiled. Satoru Iwata stated that four major games were in production, three of which was called ''Super Mario 128'' (although it was not directly the vaporware game/tech demo shown at '''Spaceworld 2000'''), ''Metroid Prime 3'' and ''The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess'' (the name was revealed earlier). They were later confirmed to be ''Super Mario Galaxy'' and ''Metroid Prime 3: Corruption''. The third one, called ''Super Smash Bros. Revolution'', was later renamed ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. [[Masahiro Sakurai|Sakurai]] was surprised at this announcement, since Satoru had refrained from informing him. However, he accepted Satoru's offer to become the game's director. |

| ====Enemies====
| | At E3 2006, ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' was officially announced at the After-Hour Press Conference, with the very first trailer. This come as a bit of a shock, since all major games are unveiled in the normal Press Conference. The trailer has became somewhat famous, because of the incorrect statement that the [[Labrador Retriever]] was an item, while no mention of the [[Assist Trophy]] item was made. The same came true with [[Final Smash]], with many thinking it was just was a extraordinarily strong [[smash attack]]. |

| *[[ReDead]]
| |
| *[[F-Zero Racers]]
| |
| *[[Topi]] (seal form)
| |
| | |
| ===Notes===
| |
| *Oddly, every time a character uses a [[grab]] in the trailer, they are shown to shield first, meaning that the actors are always using the shield+attack inputs instead of the grab button.
| |
| *While Sheik was revealed as a playable character, the trailer does not mention [[Zelda]], and the demo did not allow Sheik to be played. As a result, Zelda's playability was a secret until November 6, 2001, when her page was added to the ''Melee'' [[Smabura-Ken]].
| |
| *This is the only E3 demo that features an {{uv|F-Zero}} fighter.
| |
| | |
| ==E3 2005==
| |
| At E3 2005, the [[Wii]] was unveiled as the Nintendo Revolution. Alongside a few other games, ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' was announced by [[Satoru Iwata]], with no title or details given save for that it would feature online play. Sakurai was surprised at this announcement, since Iwata had not contacted him about development of the game. However, he later accepted Iwata's offer to become the game's director.

Aside from lacking character voices, the footage appears identical to the game's released form.
