Smash Bros. Blog Is Required Reading

The Internet is buzzing today with the news that the official website for Super Smash Bros. Brawl has been relaunched.  The new site will feature new information as presented by the game's creative mastermind, Masahiro Sakurai.  Most people will be reading to learn of the new characters and stages to be found in the upcoming Nintendo Wii game, but I believe there's more going on here than just a simple reveal of information.  We can get that kind of thing from press releases and news reports.  I think the real value of the Smash Bros. blog is the stories that will be told and the rationale about the decisions Sakurai and his team have made during the development of the game.  The first update explains the whole Smash concept and lists a bunch of popular game music composers that will be working on the game, but stay tuned for some deeper tales as time goes on.  I know I'll be reading, especially since unlike last time the development news website is in English.
