Ladies and Gentlemen... Capt. Falcon has apparently have returned.
Man Brawl's soundtrack is going to be so damn good. I'm so excited.
Brawlcentral has some new pictures.
A close-up of Marth, a new F-Zero stage (another good sign of Capt. Falcon returning!) and Mother boss.
Kirby Super Star was so much fun.
This DS remake will be a must-have.
Interesting. It seems like Legend of Zelda:Twilight Princess and Super Mario Galaxy will surpass Wind Waker and Mario Sunshine's lifetime sales if they haven't already. I'm happy to see that Metroid Prime 3 has reached the 1 million mark despite Japan giving the game the cold shoulder.
It's only going to get better for Nintendo thanks to another killer-app title on the way named Brawl.
I love Sakurai.
Nintendo simply has to let him make an AAA title for the Wii once he goes back to his own game studio.
I enjoyed playing Super Mario Galaxy. It was a solid, fun and refreshing experience.
The things that annoyed me were having to travel back to the homes in the hub world all the time, using motion control for the fire flower power-up. In addition, the garbage bomb tossing felt more like a chore and the camera was occasionally wonky. Other than that, I don't really have any other complaints. The soundtrack is impressive and the graphics and art style's attention to detail are impressive.
I also liked the pick up and play style of the game due to the mission structure and the pacing of the game. The first 60 stars are pretty easy to get, but the last 60 prove to be a bit more challenging.
Nintendo is living the good life. Enjoy it.
Nintendo has really done a impressive job.
They really tried something different this generation and it has proven to be a very successful move. It's also still nice to know that Nintendo will continue to make impressive games for their hardcore fans.
I tried to pick up No More Heroes yesterday but the store I went to was sold out. I'm going to try and get it later today.
I have Zelda:TP,Metroid Prime 3, Super Mario Galaxy and No More Heroes and of course, Wii Sports. My brother has Red Steel and that port of Prince of Persia. I told my brother before he purchased those two games that they're mediocre but he didn't listen. :p
The only two third-party games I'm looking forward to are Okami and Oboro Muramasa Youtouden (if I gets released outside of Japan).
Some of the big game companies such as Ubisoft, EA, Midway, Sega and THQ just don't have any qood quality interesting Wii games coming out in my opinion. Too bad Capcom hasn't announced anything new.
So let me get this straight.
Japan get's the cool game manuel but not North America ? Did Grasshopper Manufacture and Marvelous Interactive forget that Suda 51's games always sell the worst in Japan? Why reward them with cool prizes like a comic book game manuel and free stuff like NMH brand toilet paper when those bastards don't even appriciate it and North American and European gamers would totally kill for it ?
Absurd. Oh and I give the finger to Ubisoft.
What a worthless publisher.
This was a surprisingly cool update. It makes you wonder what other goodies Sakurai has thrown into the game.
The content, the fan service and the replay value... this game is going to be such a satisfying purchase.
Brawlcentral apparently has a picture of the "starting character roster" as well as a picture of the Super Smash Bros. Brawl game disc. Nothing has been officially confirmed yet. Although, I am a bit concerned since Capt. Falcon is not shown unless he's a hidden character or replaced by a new secret character.
By the way, if you look closely at Zelda's picture, you'll notice that Sheik is also in it.
NO MORE HEROES RELEASE DATE: TOMORROW.
It is true that gamers generally buy Nintendo platforms for the first-party titles, but if third-parties weren't so lazy and cheap, then we would have seen more exciting, creative, and good quality must-have games from them.
Heck, look at Wii's game lineup. So far, I think its safe to say that the next potentially good third-party title is Okami ... a port. After that ? I honestly don't see anything based on the games that have been confirmed for release for the first half of the year.
The only other third-party title I'm looking forward to is Oboro Muramasa Youtouden, but then again, the game currently only has a Japanese release date.
Japan is going to chew Metroid Prime 3 and spit it out faster than you can say Samus Aran. It's going to be ugly to see the software sales for MP3 especially since it will be beaten by a bunch of mini games. The horror.
I'm picking up No More Heroes.
It's about time a third-party developer made good action game for the Wii. I also appriciate how Grasshopper Manufacture isn't afraid to continue to take risks making original,stylish and mature titles.
Unfortunately, I still think NMH is doomed to sell poorly despite the recent attention it has been getting.
This week was pretty darn good.
The only things left that I'd really like to see are the following:
1. Capt. Falcon & Ganondorf playable characters (Ganondorf has his own unique moves)
2. Wind Waker Link playable character
He's small, cell-shaded, and has some unique weapons like the deku leaf and giant hammer. His final smash could be the same charged up master sword spin attack used in Wind Waker.
3. Ridley as a boss
Because he's too damn cool and one of Nintendo's best villain characters.
4. Mother Brain assist trophy.
I'd prefer for it to be a boss, but I still think it would be pretty damn cool to throw down an assist trophy and have this giant thing walking around the stage blasting players with its laser eyes.
5. Midna (solo) playable character
I figure she could pretty much be like SSBM's Mewtwo. She can teleport, use shadow magic and her third arm and her final smash could be something like her twilight monster transformation.
An assist trophy would also be acceptable.
6. Metal Sonic costume change for Sonic
I know it's not going to happen. Still, it would be cool.
7. Dark Samus costume change for Samus Aran
Same reason as # 6.
8. Doctor Robotnik assist trophy
(Don't call him Eggman)
I'd love to see him appear in one of his flying machines and unleash a pack of mechanized animals on the players.
