The popular Super Smash Bros. Brawl blog closes after 11 months of hype and service.
Monday April 14th was a momentous day in the history of Nintendo's Smash Bros. franchise. It was the final day of updates on the popular Smash Bros. Dojo. With posts on every weekday, it offered continuous updates about Nintendo’s Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Starting on May 22nd, 2007, the blog ran for about 300 posts and was offered in seven different languages.
According to series creator, Masahiro Sakurai, he wrote every single post in his native Japanese and then Nintendo’s localization staff translated the posts into the blog's six other languages. In his final note, Sakurai expressed his hopes that the site will continue to be used as a compendium for Super Smash Bros. Brawl information. He also hinted at the fact that he might use the Dojo for future announcements, but did not go into any detail about what those announcements might be.
