Is this game going to break all time sales records? The previous one on GameCube was a monster seller and now this one is on popular Wii... has both Snake and Sonic in addition to all classic characters.

The battle between this and GTA4 for the best selling title of 2007 would be devastating. Wii Fit, MGS4 and Halo Wars are other candidates but don't think they can face SSBB and GTA4 unless the casual crowd shows serious love for Wii Fit (which sadly will probably happen).

MK_Red5884d ago

Good call but I don't think it can compete with GTA or SSBB in sales.

Salvadore5884d ago (Edited 5884d ago )

Nintendo current audience seems more interested in games like Wii fit and Wii Sports and I am having a hard time believing this game will sell huge amounts of copies.

Douchebaggery5884d ago

The game already sold more than a million only in Japan and Smash is even more popular in NA (I don't know about EU), plus it get people (like me) that couldn't care less about the usual waggletastic Wii games interested.

There should have been at least one Mick Gordon Killer Instinct theme on here.

Rebel_Scum670d ago

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.

Volcanic rim for Street Fighter 4 is probably my favorite stage theme

Having to do a thing three times would make my list as #1

Jeriphro855d ago

What do you mean? Like doing the same task three times in a row?

BrainSyphoned855d ago (Edited 855d ago )

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!

Jeriphro855d ago

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

jambola855d ago

how about not allowing cutscene skipping
that's flat out inexcusable in any game in the last 10 years
