At E3 2005, the Nintendo Revolution (now called [[Wii]]) was unveiled. Satoru Iwata stated that four major games were in production, three of which was called ''Super Mario 128'' (although it was not directly the vaporware game/tech demo shown at '''Spaceworld 2000'''), ''Metroid Prime 3'' and ''The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess'' (the name was revealed earlier). They were later confirmed to be ''Super Mario Galaxy'' and ''Metroid Prime 3: Corruption''. The third one, called ''Super Smash Bros. Revolution'', was later renamed ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. [[Masahiro Sakurai|Sakurai]] was surprised at this announcement, since Satoru had refrained from informing him. However, he accepted Satoru's offer to become the game's director.
At E3 2005, the [[Wii]] was unveiled as the Nintendo Revolution. Alongside a few other games, ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' was first announced with the placeholder name ''Super Smash Bros. Revolution''. [[Masahiro Sakurai|Sakurai]] was surprised at this announcement, since Iwata had refrained from informing him of the game's existence. However, he later accepted Iwata's offer to become the game's director. No details about the game were released.


At E3 2006, ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' was officially announced at the After-Hour Press Conference, with the very first trailer. This come as a bit of a shock, since all major games are unveiled in the normal Press Conference. The trailer has became somewhat famous, because of the incorrect statement that the [[Labrador Retriever]] was an item, while no mention of the [[Assist Trophy]] item was made. The same came true with [[Final Smash]], with many thinking it was just was a extraordinarily strong [[smash attack]].
