Super Smash Bros. Brawl

[Ari]

Well, Sarah brought it home last night, and we played it for an hour or so. Just as fun as the Melee, with a bonus or two tossed in. The best are the new smash orbs. Once one of those little bastards appears on the screen, everyone rushes to destroy it to unlock their super power. Bowser's is the best, as he turns into a giant Godzilla/Bowser hybrid with an orange afro. If you don't like the older Smash Bros. games (cough, cough, Rob, cough) then you won't care for this one, as it's really more of the same. Luckly, that same is pretty damn fun.

Re: Super Smash Bros. Brawl

I just don't get the love for this series at all. I thought it was funny though, I was in Gamestop this weekend trading in some shit and these 3 "gangsta" looking dudes rolled through. They were looking for Smash Brothers and when they realized it wasn't out yet, it was like someone had killed their puppy. Made me laugh a bit.

Re: Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Brawl kinda reminds me of Power Stone. I used to play that on the ol' Dreamcast, and it was prety fun. It's just that Brawl has a bunch of nintendo characters and awesome nintendo themed levels. There's all kinds of ways to customize the gameplay, and Wario farts. It's also pretty easy for noobs to pick up and jump into. Rob just has no love for Mario.

Re: Super Smash Bros. Brawl

When can we play Earthbound?

[Abraham Smashington]

Re: Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Powerstone was the fucking shit though. It's too bad the Dreamcast came out when it did. That machine was still better than the PS2. All though I had no idea of a virtual console Earthbound being included. What's the deal with this?

Re: Super Smash Bros. Brawl

i don't know. i just heard that there were virtual console demos of earthbound in ssbb. that was the rumor going around joystiq and kotaku. it's the only reason why i bought the damn game.

Re: Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Well, find out more info now I say!

Re: Super Smash Bros. Brawl

I still play that on my emulator. I <3 that game. Although I still am glad I sold my Wii for the PS3. I've gotten more use out of my PS3 in the last month then I did in a year of owning my Wii.

Re: Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Yeah, the Wii just doesn't get the love it used to in my house. The 360 has dominated ever since it came home. If I had more time, I'd be getting more use out of the virtual console. Oh well.

Re: Super Smash Bros. Brawl

The problem with the virtual console is that Nintendo refuses to release good fucking games on it. I think I purchased like 3 or 4. The other problem is how bad it looked on my HDtv, even with running in 480p. Nintendo really fucked up by not allowing HD resolutions on the Wii. While Mario looked awesome, it still was jaggy city.

Re: Super Smash Bros. Brawl

if they release earthbound, i won't care what resolution it's in. i want my earthbound damnit!

[Ari]

Re: Super Smash Bros. Brawl

I got the 480p cables and returned them the next day. Everything was a huge jagged mess.

Re: Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Hmms. I thought it was just me.

Re: Super Smash Bros. Brawl

so i have more info about the virtual console version of earthbound. according to wiki, it sounds like to get to play certain portions of a character's past. so say if you got to re-live ness' past, you'd play a portion of earthbound:

"Super Smash Bros. Brawl contains demo versions of classic Nintendo titles, known as Masterpieces within the game, allowing players to relive defining moments of the characters' pasts. These titles utilize Virtual Console technology to emulate classic hardware. The demos have time constraints, and some utilize save data to allow the player to play a certain scenario or level."

lame. in the pants.
