Smash Brother Roundup: Week 9

Compared to week 8, this past week didn’t yield a whole lot of mind-blowing news. (Update: Apparently, ‘This World’ is bigger news than I took it to be.) Still, we were offered a closer look at Samus/Zero Suit Samus, and that’s always a good thing. Here’s a rundown of what was revealed this time around:

Week 9 Updates:

7/16 — Star Fox: Space Armada

7/17 — Deoxys

7/18 — Samus: Final Smash

7/19 — Zero Suit Samus

7/20 — This World

While I was hoping that Samus and Zero Suit Samus would be two entirely separate characters, it’s now clear that our favorite heroine goes into Zero Suit mode when her armor is destroyed, getting a major speed boost in the process. Sounds like a system that’ll make playing as Samus a lot more dynamic and fun.
