Nintendo's epic 3D fighter series arrives on Wii as the best iteration yet. It's true -- there are a few minor quibbles to be made about the sometimes-repetitive single-player mode, unexplored third party character additions, lacking online communication options, or the largely familiar content inherent to sequels. But the moment you gather together with friends for a multiplayer match only to find, several minutes later, that you still haven't blinked, you'll have taken your first step into the digital drug that is Super Smash Bros. Brawl, and there's really no better way to describe it.
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.
You may have head of The 7 Deadly Sins in Christianity, but what about The 7 Deadly Sins of Game Design? Jason Capp is here to break it down.
Ya, find three items, kill three mini bosses, go to three dungeons. Things of three is a tired video game sweet spot number.
For me, it's collect-a-thons. They weren't fun in Donkey Kong or Banjo and Kazooie and they still aren't fun now. Why create these wonderfully oversized, detailed worlds if you are going to just supplement gameplay with ambiguous item fetch-quests.
There are exceptions, of course, But by and large, it just shows laziness on the part of the developer.
Good article, by the way!
Yeah. It is funny some of the design decisions made by developers. Another one that irks me is unskippable cutscenes, especially after you die after the cutscene and are forced to rewatch the unskippable cutscene AGAIN. I mean, who thinks that a great idea?! haha
how about not allowing cutscene skipping
that's flat out inexcusable in any game in the last 10 years
this comments are demanding a "The 4 Horsemen of The Apocalypse of Game Design Flaws" sequel
Seems Nintendo have another 1st party hit on their hands!
This is one of only a few WII games that appeals to me.
March 9th isn't coming fast enough. I hope they ship my preorder at midnight or else Monday will be the longest day ever.
That what the call it on the Streets now~a~days? Anyways SSBB has always been a awesome Series! I'm a little surprise they haven't tried to Duplicate this on other systems! I remember when MarioParty 1st started its series, than Sonic tried to Duplicate it on the Geneses, lasty PS2 tried it on PAC~MAN FEVER! adding Tekkens King, Eddie Goro & Heiachi as well as other PSX favorites, an that blew up in Techmo's Face!
i dont agree with the ign rating...i've played alot of games and this game does not deserve less then a 10 or 100 on any sites.. its just that huge and has that much content , such a great game.. 9.5 should be reserve for lesser games like halo and metal gear.
Its got good reviews rolling in from all over. Lowest has been 93, but people are gonna rate it what they rate it. No games perfect, but jsut the sheer amount crammed into this disc is crazy cant wait to get my hands on it.
