Super Smash Bros Brawl

Counting these and certain other appearances Mario has made, there is no question of his influence over the last two years since Wii was released. Although a trend of casual gaming remains in full bloom, even to the extent of trespassing into the Mushroom Kingdom, we take comfort in the fact that Mario is still very much what he has always been.

Keeping in mind statements from Satoru Iwata and Reggie Fils-Aime that Nintendo EAD is hard at work on the next big games, we wonder if they will see the light of day in Wii's lifetime, or if the true successor to Galaxy will have to wait until the next generation. What do you think?
