Gaming Today explains why Nintendo should have held off on announcing Sonic's appearance in Smash Brothers Brawl.
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
i some what agree with the "lessing of the blow" thoery. what better way than crapping on someone then telling them something great also. another part of me thinks nintendo has another ace up its sleeve and we will see if that's true closer to its release date.
im hoping for mega man to show up and sign up for the brawl. i think this game is gonna rock. more party wii games for me :)
I think we probably have one or two more third party announcements to be added to SSBB.
IGN have said to expect an announcement about a representative from Square Enix and Capcom.
I'm buying this game tomorrow regardless. Why? Because I want to play the game. It looks like some good cheap fun with characters that I like. This sort of article plays into the b.s. idea that Nintendo has no substance, and is only about gimmicks.
Mario, Sonic and the Olympics, is not SSBB, is not Super Mario Galaxy, is not Sonic the Hedgehog.
