*While Sheik was revealed as a playable character, the trailer does not mention [[Zelda]], and the demo did not allow Sheik to be played. As a result Zelda's playability was a secret at this time.

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 2007, a 15-second representation was showed to showcase the things already known about ''Brawl'' as distributed by the [[DOJO!!]]. However, the representation also incidentally showed {{SSBB|Donkey Kong}}, who was uncomfirmed by the DOJO!! at the time. Aside from lacking character voices, the footage appears identical to the game's released form. The first confirmed release date for ''Brawl'' for North America was announced to be December 3, 2007, but was later delayed twice.
