Game developer Hideki Kamiya talks about Bayonetta in the Smash Bros. games.
All of the Super Smash Bros. games are incredible, but which one stands as the mightiest of them all and has the best modes?
To me smash brows Melee is my all time favorite. I can't tell you how many hours I played that game between friends and family. When I was a kid, my parents couldn't afford a gaming console so I had to go somewhere that had an arcade like setup with the only difference being instead of arcade cabinets, they had big screen crt TV's and gaming consoles setup. I would go with my friends on special occasions after school or with my family on the weekends.
I would meet and make new friends at that place as we were all gamers and we also brought our game boys and would trade pokemon. I don't think those places exist these days but back then, it was easy to meet like-minded people and have fun for hours.
Well, I’ll add my extremely subjective ranking too. I won’t include the 3DS version as I don’t owned it. I did play it for a few minutes though.
5. Brawl.
4. N64 Smash
3. Ultimate
2. Wiiu Smash
1. Melee
VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "While the future of Smash Bros. has been uncertain for a while - whether Nintendo will build on Ultimate or bring us a new entry entirely - within all likelihood a new Nintendo system still means something new for Smash Bros. is on the horizon, and that something will almost certainly include new fighters, however many or few. While this might be the gaming article equivalent of putting up Christmas decorations in October, it’s never too early to start speculations when it comes to Smash Bros. before two thirds of everything inevitably gets leaked ahead of time. Keep in mind that this is not a list of predictions for future newcomers, though a few could perhaps fit in that same category, but rather a small list of the characters that in this writer’s humble opinion are overdue an appearance in the gaming crossover to end all crossovers."
Happy for U
Good stuff.
Now back to some DKC Tropical Freeze.
Can't wait for Fatal Frame. Please come to the west!
Good to see Wii U doing better. If Wii U can at least get somewhere between Gamecube and N64 in sales ... I believe Nintendo will consider that a success after the horrific start the Wii U had.
I am so happy to see Nintendo getting sonewhere finally. I have been a diehard supporter of the U since launch and it is really starting to pay off. If we could just get some better efforts in the third party ports I would be even happier. But one step at a time. For now Nintendo is releasing plenty of their own exclusives to make me happy. Good job sticking in there Nintendo.
