  1. Most people see Smash as a party game, and with default settings that's pretty much what it is. But, anyone who was serious about Melee will tell you that there's actually a super deep and highly technical competitive game underneath the silly randomness.

    Brawl showed that Sakurai and Nintendo have no interest in supporting a competitive scene, and are in fact hostile to its existence, with crap like tripping added specifically to make the game more random and less dependent on skill. And of course, balance testing was virtually non-existent (hi Metaknight).

    For me Brawl was a disappointment, so I won't be buying this next game. I'm sure it'll still make for a good drinking game though...

  2. IMO, Oblivion is like the deadbeat middle child of the series. With its awkward NPCs and piss poor voice acting, I never felt truly immersed in that game at all. Also, they completely butchered my favorite race, the Dark Elves.

    Skyrim was a great return to form, although there are still things that I miss from Morrowind. Like the ability to have a Lair made out of giant mushrooms in the middle of nowhere, complete with servant-women to do my bidding.

  3. Possibly removing clones and just bad characters.

    It's just a demo. They haven't finished all the characters yet. They still have no clue, as far as I know, what they're gonna do with some of them. Metaknight, for example.

    I have been following P:M for a while and I'm pretty excited about it. Sadly, my Wii shit the bed a while back.

  4. When I was a kid, my mom would leave me and my siblings with various families who did daycare for extra income. One of these families had a SNES, which was my first exposure to video games. Just the idea of being able to control what happens on the TV blew my mind. They had Super Mario World and DKC2, both of which are still among my favorite games.

  5. because if they remake those games they will all feel incredibly dated by modern standards and the new generation will be like 'oh these games suck this is what everyone said was so good?'

    i enjoy them but what modern child would sit through those?

    The main reason they're not gonna remake VII is it would take way way too much work to be worth it. They would have to completely re-develop the game from the ground up. 3D environments, voice acting, probably a whole new engine. With X they can just throw on some high-res textures and call it a day.

    But, it is also true that gaming is different now than it was back then and kids these days probably wouldn't dig old jrpgs so much.
