Despite the reported shortages of the game, we managed to get our grubby little mitts on a copy of Dairantou Smash Bros. X, the Japanese version of the game we've all been waiting for, Super Smash Bros. Brawl. While most other sites will be waiting for their pre-orders to come in next week, we anticipate our copy arriving this weekend. What does that mean? If you want to know everything there is to know about Brawl—with or without spoilers—you're going to see a lot of it first right here at Nintendo World Report.

We'll tell you everything we can about the multiplayer modes, the single player Subspace Emissary mode, the online modes, and everything in between. We'll be capturing gameplay video so you can see what the finished product looks like in motion. In fact, we'll soon have two copies of the game in two different parts of the country, so you can see what an online game looks like from both sides of the fight. And if you like the gigantic soundtrack that Super Smash Bros. is promising, we've got a surprise planned for you. And don't forget: we review import games. You'll get the final word on Super Smash Bros. Brawl from us long before other sites even crack open the shrink wrap on the game!

Check back to Nintendo World Report for all of your Super Smash Bros. Brawl needs, starting this weekend and rolling right through the North American launch on March 9. To help satisfy your Smash Bros. craving, here's a little taste of the gameplay, direct from Japan.
