So it's official. Pikmin is now in Super Smash Bros. Brawl as a playable character. It seems like his character will be very hard to use though, as Olimar can only attack when his Pikmin are close, and Pikmin have this horrific tendency to scatter all over the place. Not cool.

However, this is great news for us Pikmin lovers as with the popularity of the Super Smash Bros. series, it's likely that we may see some more Pikmin games in the near future. Especially with the Wii and DS's perfect interface for Pikmin, and the renewal of the Pikmin trademark a few months back.

To see pictures, hit read more.

As there isn't a forum yet, feel free to discuss this latest revelation in the comments here. The forums are nearly done now, so it's not long to go for them to be back up as well.

Ha ha! *crossess Olimar off 'Wanted Characters List'*
I knew it. A bunch of people said 'he's too small!' and I admit that when I saw 'Olimar AND Pikmin' I thought 'great he's an AT'. Then I saw the empty spaces (Pink Floyd?) and....yeah, it's pretty great.

Now all we need is a Paper Mario AT and all my favorite series are represented...I'd be rooting for Ness, Krystal and Ridley as well, but I don't want to push it.

OH MAH GAWD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

But as a correction, Olimar simply can't do
SMASH attacks without Pikmin.

Awesome!
written by mattdog, January 10, 2008

Olimar is without a doubt the most deserving newcomer into this game. Love the look, the music, the icon, the everything.

I am now 100% satisfied with the roster.

Olimar..and Louie?

I like the arrangement of the World Map song they'll be using. I'd also like to see a Forest of Hope remix.

Beautiful lookin stage.
written by mattdog, January 15, 2008

Looks to borrow heavily from Awakening woods. Definitely the best looking stage graphically thus far.

No, it means that there is an error with the discs
or more likely Nintendo just wants more hype or something. The game was only delayed a week in Japan. Its been finished for a while now, they aren't adding anything.

MP3s...
written by Captain Olimar wishes..., January 23, 2008

I wonder if there will be any MP3s of the Brawl music soon. Perhaps someone can get it from the site. I really want that pikmin one...

written by Captain Olimar facepalms..., January 23, 2008

I know about that! I meant a downloadable MP3 file. I can't rip it or get it directly from there!

UGH
written by Phil, January 25, 2008

I can't wait anymore, Come on Pikmin returns! OPEN UP!!

Go Olimar
written by Pikmin Spirit, February 13, 2008

Olimar looks awesome for this game.
His final smash is awesome, but they keep delaying the game for seemingly no reason.

I hope Brawl is as good as or better than melee.

I am so Mad!
