is this one of the SMB 2 "masks"?didnt play Star Fox for the SNES?
Wait, Ash is a playable character now?No, you play with the three Pokemon. That isn't Ash either. Just a random main character character from one of the Pokemon games.
that is totally ash
Who cares about pokemon, Beezy? What the fuck, dude. I was hoping you wouldn't introduce the 10 year old audience.I was just posting the newest update, loser. >:(
it looks like it's going to be an item type shit.
that is totally ash
The hair is different and GTAIV still doesn't have planes.

Wrong dumbass. Its a boss for the "story" mode.
So wait do you control the pokemon trainer or the pokemon? If it's just the pokemon, then why have the trainer? There's already pokemon playable characters.
we need to make a "posters over 13 only" rule so we won't have smash bros threadssmash bros is one of the greatest fighting games ever. usually the people that rag on it are the ones that get their ass kicked in it.
i get my ass kicked in bloody roar. that doesn't make it a great fighting game; it just means i suck at bloody roar.the game is made for all ages. for you to think otherwise after seeing the other 2 games released and played by people that are not kids then i guess this conversation is over.
however, disingenuous observations aside: THE GAME IS MADE FOR LITTLE KIDS. not for EVERYONE; IT IS MADE FOR LITTLE KIDS WHO LOVE SANITIZED CARTOON MASCOTS. if you play it, you are a pre-pubescent, or you have serious developmental issues.

Dude, you bought Pokemon Pearl.

Christ, you guys are trying to fucking make excuses for BUYING VIDEOGAMES. Just come to the realization that you not impressing anybody whenenever you buy any game. Fuckin' hell, why some of you can't just sit down and enjoy the game for what it is just fucking blows my mind.
i would be vaguely interested in pokemon regardless of the trapping simply because it is sold to me as an exercise in spreadsheet manipulation. however, i expressed a GREAT DEAL OF SHAME that i purchased it, and i also quickly returned it when i realized it wasn't as certain gaffers had sold it to me -- in fact, i made a pair of explosive gaf threads on the subject!
seriously, though, why would you play this game when you have vf5 or any other real fighting game out there? it's because deep down inside, you think LINK VERSUS KIRBY is AWESOME, and that makes you a nintot. the game is a child-oriented celebration of nintendo fanservice first and foremost, and that's what appeals to you. any depth discovered in the process of digesting all of this kiddy candy is because nintendo nostalgia and sanitzed mascot content hold such an appeal to you that you're willing to keep letting the game service your walleyed manchild gaming priorities again and again and again and again
sorry Brandnew some of us do this for a living.

I don't like MvC2 for exactly the same reasons I don't like Smash Bros. I don't like Super Robot Wars games either. Or any game predicated on "mashing up" various characters and franchises for various effect. This is why I don't consider the Nintendo "sports" games to be actual games.

that's the problem: sans the mascot fetish shenanigans, it's a shallow fighting game. if you replaced every mascot in the game with generic ninja characters designed by a bad european dev house, this game would be excoriated, and the all-too-hilarious fanboys missives extolling its depth would go tragically unpenned
I bet this guy likes Smash Bros.!

I've worked on some crap before. Believe me. What i was saying is I try to turn a critical eye towards everything I play, rather than treat it as a recreational activity.sorry Brandnew some of us do this for a living.
what games have you worked on again?

I always felt that sf3a was better, was were the difference between 2 and 3 that made 2 better?
when I was in college, we played:
Puyo Puyo, Magical Drop 3, and Bishi Bashi Special.
All real games for real men.
magical drop 3 :bow :bow
So I guess it's safe to say that the whole kiddyness argument is now thrown out the window?

You don't play Magical Drop 3 for the cutey characters, you play for the awesome game mechanics.
As opposed to Smash Brothers, which children only really play so they can see PIKACHU versus YOSHI.
I've played like 20 hours of N64 and GC Smash Bros have literally never enjoyed myself for a single second of it.
^you copied a fucking gaffer post gay!Not even gaffers are that lowly. I took it from a ebgames.com "review".
do you play as link or pikachu
I dont see any point of buying the wii version. If you already have the GC version, just replay that one. Or does the wii version have online?more characters, stages..blah blah blah

Its the same thing with new avatars...thats every fighting game in a nutshell. Not to defend SSBB though (only wii game I plan on getting is mario).
Viz is back... nice... dude, I'm about to beat Earthbound, although I kinda put it on hold to play Blue Dragon :P
hey ninbabiesthis isn't drinkys goty?!?:
hai
The N64 already is hopelessly a kid's system. At least, most of what
Nintendo has been releasing lately has been small kids' games.
(Pokemon stuff, Smash Bros. etc.)

Playing a game for 20 hours and not liking it? I don't get why people do this to themselves... I'll know within an hour or two if a game is for me or not... although then again I beat FF2 *TWICE* and beat the first Xenosaga, so I should be one to talk :P

1) That's over the course of the past 10 years, which is < 2 hours a year.
2) I would go to parties or people's houses where Smash Bros. was being played and be dragooned into playing it.
It never got fun. :(

But I thought you didn't hang out with people who played Smash Bros? ???
Okay, it just occured to me that most of the detractors here are just trying to get a reaction. I would hope at least, considering some are intelligent enough to know that some of their own fetishes would be considered far far worse to 'normal' people than anything out of Nintendo.
By the way, one last thing. Does it really matter if SSB isn't as 'deep' as Virtua Fighter or other fighting games? It's supposed to be a party game with items and shit to make it frantic. The games are doing two different things. It's like hating on Shadow of the Colossus cause it's fighting system isn't as deep as God of War's.
dude, naruto: clash of ninja 2 has been featured at larger fighting tournaments, despite it being based on the bloody roar engine and shallow as hell. this is because dipshit ninthings refused to buy a ps2, and will hype any exclusive fighting game on their system, especially if it has mascots or a license.

There is a sizable contingent of ninthings that would argue that Smash Bros is more than just a party game, that it is as deep as some other more seriously-taken fighting games. It's featured at EVO now -- the largest fighting game tournament in North America -- which has an otherwise inarguably legitimate lineup (you can see the most recent here: http://www.evo2k.com/).
I don't particularly agree and I think, as it was designed, the game is purely a mascot-oriented party game, and not even as well done as Power Stone 2. The substance it ultimately contains has been derived through exploits -- wave dashing, I-canceling, and so on -- and by limiting some of the options (items should be turned off, for instance) and doesn't have much, if any, affect on the people not playing it for sport, especially so long as the series remains offline.
that cypher thing is pretty fucking gay. some of his moves look too complicated/not SSB enough though. I'm worried he'll be unbalanced. I mean, what logical advantage does his nikita missle have over samuses lock-on missiles in this game?Yeah..they seem to be notoriously bad at balancing characters. It will probably end up just like Melee where we see the best characters divided into tiers. I think they're more aiming to please the casual players for this game. Then again, who knows, maybe this one will have the potential to be just as competitive as it's predecessor.
I never played the Pikmin games, how does EB rate them?
I never played the Pikmin games, how does EB rate them?they were really good games. if you have a cube or a wii, I would recommend picking it up. basically they were strategy games where you command up to 100 pikmin of different colors (and attributes) to eventually bring shit back to your ship. so there was a lot of resource management and of course you had to look out for anything harmful to your pikmin. very fun game, don't know what else to say. I think the second had a multiplayer mode of some sort.

I hate this game so much. Whenever my friends bust this out I sit there on the couch bored (not playing), saying "let's do something else" every 5 minutes, ether that or I leave. 8)

you have awesome friends
Yes, they're awesome for putting up with his Smash Bros hatred. I would have banned you from my house long ago. Smash Bros haters are not allowed to cross the threshold.
do you get more excited when you think about playing as starfox or playing as princess peach
which brightly-colored saturday morning mascot makes you coo with the greatest delight
you don't think its weird and tragic when grown adult males go into paroxysms of delight over pikachu and sonic the hedgehog?
Well, how old are you?
It honestly something that teen nerds and college nerds get a lot of play time with the most.
Wow, how can I argue. Such a great point. Bringing up something I posted, oh I don't know, last year. Truly your point is just that good.
