It's cute, it's simple, and it's better than a slew of video games we've been playing lately. We give you Super Smash Bros., in hand-drawn animation. A sweeping cinematic score only underlines the awesomeness of this fine video.
Nintendo, if you want to save some money, get someone on this project, pronto. Release it, rake in the dough, and we'll have something to tide us over until the real game comes out. Trust us.
Make sure you watch until the very ... end?

If I'm not mistaken, this is by the same artist (PBD is the name I think...) who did this: http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n121/TheOriginalTuatara/Animated%20GIFs/flash1166903389260thecokd2.gif

I have to say the whole Anime-fication Furry of Nidorina kinda made me wince at first. But it's a really good bit of animation I have to admit.
And who is Flint?

Is joystiq saying they want a new SSB game with all hand drawn, line graphics?
Of course, I would buy it, but would any one else?

Holy crap. No one else thought the tetris bit was hilarious? This guy has great animated comedic timing – very hard to pull off .

did anyone else notice that at 1:39 at the Nidorina VS. Shin Akuma at the top of the frame it says, "frame 420 is mind control." subliminal messaging perhaps?

I'm pretty sure this was an animated GIF at first, and this guy stole it with his only contribution being added music.

Flint would be really cool, but as far as Mother 3, my first thoughts were Lucas or Klaus.

Ah, the simple kick-in-the-nuts. That's a fine way to end such a glorious animation.
Except now I've been reminded that I want Mother 3 again.

They seriously took an animated gif and turned it into a video file?
Flint was a badass though. When's Mother 3 gonna get an English release already?
