I have been cruising around Newgrounds and wanted to share another great Super Smash Bros. Brawl Flash movie with everyone. This one is titled “Nintendo Power” and shows a lot of of Nintendo characters that have been showcased prominently in the magazine. I used to subscribe to Nintendo Power around the NES/SNES days and the animation in this Flash is very smooth and fluid.

I know that YouTube just updated recently so that the interface for the video was changed. It seems like viewing comments for your videos is still a hassle and the recently update did nothing to make it easier. When I check my e-mail to view my account activity for YouTube. I still receive the same e-mails that force me to click on a link that will take me to my video comment.

I just stopped by Newgrounds to check out the some of the Flash there and found some interesting one abot SSBB that everyone might like. I watched the latest episode of this series and I found it to be pretty good. I like how sprites were used, just like on a lot of video game Flash movies. The battle sequences were particularly nice as it mimiced the actual game with everyone’s damage at the bottom so you could keep track of what was going on. If you are into the Super Smash Brothers you should take look into this Flash series. I am always interested in find new video game Flash that pays tribute to all of our favorite video games.
If you like sprite animation, then you probably have seen lots of Flash that use them. Sprites are pretty much just graphics used to create Flash movies. When you have a bunch of these sprites together, you have what is called a sprite sheet. Newgrounds is famous for housing sprite animations on your favorite video games including Mario, Zelda, and Megaman. A lot of the sprite animations on that site use 8 or 16-bit sprites. This means that most of the sprites used are from NES, SNES, and Genesis games.
