We're (supposedly) nearing the release of what could arguably be considered the Wii's most anticipated title ever, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, and we're all drowning in a deluge of information about the game. However, as much as we hate to add to the noise, you simply must watch the above video, which shows a few short, but sweet, gameplay clips from the Subspace Emissary story mode.
It looks like Nintendo has improved the side-scrolling gameplay featured in Melee, and has crafted personalized single-player (or co-op) stages for a number of characters in the game. With videos like this dropping regularly, and with only a month and some change until the game drops, we're going to need to invest in a fairly sizable drool guard to preserve our poor, saliva-covered computer monitors.

I played it w/ and w/o progressive scan, and I don't remember it running quite as smooth as the gameplay in this video. Not saying it ran badly, just that Brawl almost seems to have gone a step beyond Melee's perfect framerate.
Also, you could really screw up Melee's framerate and crash it with the black hole trick. ;)

I'd like to play as the bad guys, and I have to say this isn't my type of game, but it looks more brilliant every day and I might just have to get it.

The way I see it, SSE mode is either going to either kick untold amounts of ass or just kinda suck.
Melee's Adventure mode was awful, but if they can make this an interesting story and not something you breeze through in about 20 minutes at worst, then hooray!
Needless to say, I've thrown all my anticipation eggs into the "It's gonna be awesome!" basket.
