Smash Bros. Brawl to Offer Demos for Classic Games

Smash Bros. Dojo is reporting that the ever-elusive Super Smash Bros. Brawl is going to have yet another new feature called "Masterpieces" - playable demos for classic games.



According to The Dojo the North American release will include:
Super Mario Bros.
Ice Climber
Legend of Zelda
Kid Icarus
Kirby's Adventure
Super Metroid
Star Fox 64


Fire Emblem and cult favorite, Earthbound (Mother 2) were also listed as being playable on the Japanese version of the site but were omitted from the North American release page. However, fans of these games (and others not listed), don't lose all hope - it was also mentioned that this is not a complete list of games and others will be able to be unlocked.

This new feature raises some questions for me. Namely, "Is this new feature awesome or kind of lacking?"

It's a nice new feature and unlocking new demos will add some replay value to the game, but after playing the Gamecube version of Animal Crossing where you could unlock full versions of classic Nintendo games - don't demos feel a little bit like going from filet mignon to half-eaten Big Macs?
