Got my Official NY Giants Superbowl XLII CHAMPIONS T-shirt yesterday. The same one they were wearing in the locker room after the game. I'm going to be riding this wave during the long, tedious summer.
Now, I know you guys all HATE the Wii, and Nintendo in general (and Metal Gear?! Metal Gear has GUNS in it), but not seeing the appeal of Smash Bros. is a real shame. It is certainly chaotic, and button-mashing might get you a few wins, but the real genius of Smash Bros. is the supreme level of balance.
Smash Bros. is a fighting game for people who don't like fighting games. No multi-button combos to memorize. Rather, impeccible timing and countering is the key. And it is the best multi-player game ever coded. Online play is fine, and I welcome its inclusion in Brawl, but Smash Bros. is the pinnacle of local multi-player gaming.
The appeal of pounding the crap out of beloved videogame characters speaks for itself. Bitch-slapping Peach; pommelling Pikachu, choking the shit out of Luigi; surely you can see the giddy thrill in such gameplay. Sonic's inclusion is every child of the 80s' wet dream. Brawl is going to sell millions worldwide. Dust off those Wiis and prepare for battle.
