Dojo update: Coin launcher



A semi-serious thought crossed our minds upon visiting the dojo this morning: Super Smash Bros. Brawl might well be the only game we need in 2008. You see, there's not just fisticuffs on offer in Brawl, but also adventuring, construction, and now even an entirely separate game dedicated to acquiring trophies and stickers.

It's called the "Coin Launcher," and it already sounds like a far more absorbing way to collect the elusive trinkets than Melee's luck-based Trophy Lottery ever was. Players get to fire the coins they've collected in the main game at various trophies as they float about on a table, while also taking care to avoid formations of enemies and incoming missiles (destroying these rewards you with stickers). It looks rather like a cross between a shmup and pinball, and as we love both shmups and pinball, we're probably going to be dedicating an unhealthy, skin-paling amount of time to this.
