Faust says hi. (Seriously, of all the fighting games in the world to use as argument for anti-random, Guilty Gear's got to be among the worst. It literally has a character built around Random with Zappa and still manages to work as a competitive game.) That said, I'm for giving items a...

It's not too surprising- you could trace a lot back to Super Star from any of the Smash games- the fact that SSE feels like a Kirby game is about as shocking as saying the sky is blue. I wouldn't be surprised if SSE was what happened to the Kirby GCN project that kinda fizzled out and died...

Edgehogging looks a lot harder to do to non-tether recoveries then it used to- invincible time on a ledge upon grabbing is greatly reduced (seems about long enough to press an input and move on with life) and it seems the ledge is free for grabbing again as soon as you vacate it (Instead of the...

Despite some of the stories of the dedicated here, the fact of the matter is that the Mother games are very, very language dependent, both for playing the game and for fully enjoying them. If the language barrier is a problem, then I would, honestly, track down a copy of Earthbound for the...

Sunday was picked probably because it's the traditional 'day of rest'- Nintendo was seeking which day they'd distrup the least with a launch, and Sunday is probably intruding on less lives then most. (Then again, Nintendo's weird like that- they've had a few Sunday releases that I can think of)...

I dunno about you, but something's missing from the back of the box... (Answer: No, it's not Gamestop-exclusive- they just shopped their logo in the place of the UPC label. No More Heroes is for sale anywhere that Wii games are sold.)

It's probably the worst Kirby game ever released, but it's still a pretty good game. Worth a play if you haven't played it before, worth a replay if it's been a long time and you're biding your time until they finally give in and put Super Star out SOMEWHERE (or, heaven forbid, a new console...

Roy was probably originally re-imagined as a power-sworder with a heavy Luigification in his moveset... then realized that they could differ him even more if they just went with a different FE lead and redesigned him from the ground-up. Bye Roy, hello Ike. Mewtwo was removed because they...

They have- Shiek came out on top, by a LOT, because of how badly she wins certain matchups against Lower/Bottom characters. Shiek's a large reason why half the cast is unplayable- characters like Pikachu, and Ness have absolutely no way to deal with Shiek, since she can chain-grab most of the...

Actually, inability to reach an agreement about Goldeneye has currently killed it's chances to appear on either system- Nintendo owns the publishing rights still, but Rare (and by proxy, Microsoft) owns the rights to the game itself. Which basically means Nintendo dictates where it can go, but...

I don't see it happening. People cry for a removal of 4/5ths of the game's included stages, but willing to allow for user-created content which can be skewed any number of ways? If you're making neutral stages, Brawl already has those- a decent number of them, in fact, in many different...

I'd preorder it as a precaution, but you should be fine either way. If Gamestop doesn't have a copy for you, I'm sure Wal-Mart will, assuming you go early enough. Wiis still hard to find? I walked into Target on Friday, asked for one, and got it. No muss, no fuss, first and only stop of...

Melee was probably pretty hard for the casual gamer- I remember Normal Difficulty taking some doing in 64 when I first played it, and Melee's Normal > 64's Normal in both classic and adventure in terms of difficulty. In particular, I could see Pokemon Stadium, Onnet, and the Metal Bros. fight...

If it's found that no Final Smash = assured Stock Removal, then they probably have a fair chance of returning. Problem is, right now, things don't look so good on that end- Sonic, Pikachu, and Diddy at the very least, seem pretty much assured of getting a kill with their Final Smash if the...

I think that it's a worthwhile addition from the casual point of view- it basically gives the game single-player legs it didn't have in the past (Who DIDN'T pretty much shelve Melee's 1P modes in a couple of days once everything was unlocked). The added co-op also gives less-competitive gamers...
