On 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'', ''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 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]].
