The reviewer -- competitive Smash player Dac -- claims that Brawl "...is the greatest game I've ever played in my entire life."
For those who own a Wii this is a must-buy, and for those who don't own a Wii this is a bona fide system seller.
"I have never seen more effort put into a video game than what has been shown in Brawl."
Masahiro Sakurai, the director of Super Smash Bros., explains why he believes online play isn't a good fit for the series.
I feel bad for Smash fans. Those guys have been trying to maintain the scene active for 20+ years and get nothing but hate from Nintendo.
Sakurai explains how he and Nintendo still don't understand how the internet works.
FTFY
I’m sorry, but if a game is MP then there’s no f*cking argument that can justify no online MP. What he says about competition being different from just playing with friends shows me how out of touch these people are.
It’s not until a new generation that understands things steps in to clean-house that we’ll see some evolution here.
It's a big fighting game so online multiplayer is a must. Competitive smash is the only thing I see fun in these games anymore asides from the big character reveals, singleplayer is laughable and you ain't gunna have people over for couch gaming much.
If Nintendo makes a new smash, it needs a huge evolution for singleplayer/couch play to be enjoyable for me any more. But we all know they'll just do a deluxe edition for their next console lol. They really need to up their servers as well.
he sounds more like is trying to justify Nintendo ineptitude to create a proper network infrastructure in order to Smash Brothers work properly online.
Fighting games and music have a long and storied history together. Here are five of the best fighting game stage themes throughout video game history.
Tekken Tag Tournament 1 Arcade OST - Nina Williams
Street Fighter 2 - Ken stage, Ryu Stage, Vega (Claw), and Guile
Street Fighter Alpha 3 - Karin theme
Tekken 3 Arcade OST - Hidden Characters Theme
Super Street Fighter 2 - Fei Long CPS1 version (found on Hyper SF2 A.E.)
Tekken 2 Arcade OST - Kazuya and Devil theme
Marvel vs Capcom 1 - Strider Theme, Ryu, and Roll
Should be some tunes from the first Mortal Kombat in any list tbh.
I really like the use of Mozart’s Dies Irae in Wolfgang Krausers stage in Fatal Fury 2.
Developers should always strive to make their products as balanced and fair as possible. Sometimes, video games feature a incredibly overpowered characters that just break the game.
why am i not surprised? The media is just getting ridiculous. Any game with a little amount of hype now is guaranteed 10's and 9.5's. Halo, Mario galaxy. Smash bros greatest game ever played. Sure he probably said the same thing about halo. Its all politics now with most of these game sites. I could let Mario galaxy slide because that one was apparently innovative but whats innovative in smash?? what did they add that makes this game deserve a 10 and greatest game the reviewer has ever played???. I honestly could care less if i get a million disagrees i haunt played smash bros and i probably never will but i can say gamerNode has lost all credibility in my eyes. Any site that tosses 10's freely in the air simply cannot earn my respect. I could live with a 9.0 or a 9.5 but a 10. 10 is reserved for those games that come like once every 3yrs shouldn't even be given to sequels in my opinion unless they completely revolutionize themselves sort of how RE4 did and are nothing like their predecessors. I can't wait to see all the 10's that will be handed out to GTA4
this game is 7
so much hype
@princejb134
i give halo3 a 7
because it really was just an expansion pack
they should have call it halo 2.5
Here are my reasons...
- Online betting in matches.
- Level editor (create and send your own levels).
- Online play (Previous versions of smash didn't have this).
- Use any control method you like (GC controller, Wii mote and nunchuck, Wii mote by itself, Classic controller).
- There are some very innovative levels that constantly change as your playing (like picto chat or wario ware level).
All these things I mentioned above were not in the previous versions of smash bros... remember these are my reasons... not everyone will agree, but that doesn't matter because millions of people like this game any way (over 1 million in Japan alone...).
I'm not going to go into a Halo bashing fight though.
This game deserves it. Brawl FTW.
