One of the most anticipated video games this year- Super Smash Bros Brawl for Wii is finally released this week. I am one of those homeschoolers that think video games can be a in important learning tool for their kids It entourages reading, logical thinking and fair play. Video games can stimulate a bored mind or calm a restless one and have as much value as a book or paint and easel. If you “ban” or limit your video games- think of the reason why- really examine the why’s and see if they make sense.

This is one of the first online multiplayer games for Wii video game system- you have the ability to share game replays, screenshots, and custom levels with friends.

Walkthroughs and Guides for Super Smash Bros Brawl for Wii

Walkthroughs

Following the style of its predecessors, the game uses a battle system different from that of typical fighting games. Choosing from a variety of characters, one to four players fight on various stages, trying to knock their opponents off the screen. Instead of using health bars like those used in most fighting games, percentage displays are employed. These start at 0%, and increase as the characters take damage up to 999%. As a character’s percentage goes up, the character flies farther back when hit. When a character is knocked beyond a stage’s boundary and disappears from the screen, the character loses either a life or a point depending on the mode of play.[10] The game can be played using the Wii Remote on its side, the Wii Remote and Nunchuk together, the Classic Controller, or the Game Cube controller, for a total of four possible control styles. Players can create profiles with personalized button configurations for each control method along with their chosen user name.
