Watch Gamers Duke it out in Brawl Online!

Super Smash Bros. Brawl is not only open to gamers now! A new feature called "Spectator" now allows people anywhere in the world to watch a match that is going on through Nintendo's Wi-Fi connection!

What else can spectators do with this new mode? They can bet! Well, not real money of course, but with coins within the game. They can simply choose who they think can win and place their bets on that player. The name of the player is not revealed, however, to give it a more authentic feel to the match, as if it is being broadcast live on cable. Don't worry, if a spectator loses a bet, he or she can still get some free stickers.

As for gamers, they can choose to allow spectators to come and watch. The play data will then be sent to Nintendo.

With this new feature, Brawl seems to be making huge progress and may be one of the reasons why Nintendo pushed back the launch date to February 10. Brawl will not only appeal to those who enjoy playing the fighting game, but also to those who enjoy watching a Super Smash Bros. match take place.
