Let's face it, at this point PaRappa basically represents Nintendo history better than Mario does. I can see Mario probably getting cut from SSB4. That is unless the DSi finally gets a remake of Super Mario Bros: Majora's Inside Story: Sticker Star.
yes Parappa represents Nintendo perfectly with all his great Nintendo exclusives like.... oh wait that's right he's never been on a Nintendo platform.

Ahh, what a shame. And here I thought I'd met someone else who'd seen that show; it's a
good show, but incredibly underrated.

Funny you think "watashi" sounds cool, it's just a prounoun for "I." It's the equivalent of a Japanese dude having "I" as his screename on a Japanese forum. In the show I mentioned, the girl is known as "watashi" simply because she's the protag and narrator of the series and her name is never mentioned, so the fanbase just calls her "watashi" since the story is a 1st person narrative.

On pronouns, personally I prefer "Boku" and "Ore," as "watashi" sounds too much like "atashi" which is for girls trying to sound cute. "Boku" is more formal, and "Ore" more slang and it was very common in TTGL "ore wa dare da to omotte yaru" (just who the hell do you think I am?!?).

Japanese lesson aside, those of you who felt stressed by Pikmin's time feature, check out Sengoku Rance. If you're mature enough to look past the superficial aspects of the game, and treat the story in a lighthearted manner then be prepared for an incredible game.

Oh I know that. It was the pronoun I used when I was at Tokyo Disney last year.

Might be so!

But Mario's still spitting the hardest rhymes out in Mushroom Kingdom the streets!



It might be a strecht, but I think he's returning for Smash 4.

@ManlySpirit: Yeah, I don't think anyone would seriously think that parappa has a chance of getting in.

Also, I support Rapper Mario as an alternate costume.:troll:

I'd take him more serious if he made a rap on why Parappa should be in.

Too bad Sony Smash wasn't good.
I guess so... the only PS2 games I actually liked were Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, Castlevania: Lament of Innocence, Castlevania: Curse of Darkness, God of War, and Dragon Quest VIII. Then again, I had a very small PS2 game library.

Better or worse than Rumble Arena?

Anyway the only companies that I think can handle large crossovers are Nintendo, Sega, Capcom, and Namco. A lot of other companies just don't have the IPs/history that work together. Overall a lot could be learned from the development of this game from gameplay right down to character selection, the online I heard was pretty good though.

It was doomed to mediocrity right at the beginning, and everyone knew it. Sony is not exactly a company that could handle a type of game like that.
I figured it would, but it could have been a lot better. There was so much wrong with it.

Good question. Never played Rumble Arena. Sony Smash is kind of boring.

Gameplay was bad? From videos I've seen it looked good

The character selection was only bad because none of sony's characters mesh, and the only characters I recognized were sackboy and kratos

Funny thing is the only difference between the two is that Rumble Arena has health bars, and your meter is used to get stronger/deal Final Smash like attacks that are not instant KOs.

EDIT: Just looked, but the game is now going for a good amount on Ebay/Amazon...starting to wish I never sold my copy just because I got Melee.

eh i like PSABR. people were expecting an exact copy of Smash and in that regards it dropped the ball. but i still consider it a solid title.

I think it's better than Smash 64 and Brawl in all honesty. It's not Melee level though. And unlike most people, I took the time to research PSASBR so I knew it wouldn't be an exact copy.

PSABR was pretty good... for the first 2months. Then people just either spamed projectiles or the same combo chains they learn from the training mode.

PSABR was a fun game.

It was just broken. Character wise and gameplay wise.
