Dark Samus would have been cool, but c'mon, people. 35 characters is plenty. Are you telling me you'd want to go through All-Star mode more than 35 times? I'm perfectly content with the roster size and variety for now. Until they rework the single-player experience and disclude such time sinks as Classic, All-Star, or what-have-you that requires you to play through with every character with virtually no change in content, 35 is more than enough. That said, in my infinite loserdom, I made this dumb thing: ... And this one, too. Just because. I feed on boredom and leave a path of ruined dreams and mangled ideas in my wake.

Looks to me like he tripped because he went to the ledge and tried to run off it. Tripping makes you fall forward a bit, so Sonic fell forward off the platform to his doom. I stand by my earlier statement.

In regards to tripping, I've found it happen only in 2 instances: when one walks or runs back and forth a lot, or when one breaks into a run from rest. So walk, don't run, or take to the air often.

I bought it on a whim. Nice music, okay gameplay. The combat's good and fast, as long as you use the main character. Everyone else is completely combo-less. The switching between party members to solve puzzles can be a bit of a pain sometimes, especially when it's one right after the other. Maps are a little vague, (save points don't show up on them and you can only view one room map at a time), but still workable. Story's cute, voice acting's decent, I could have done without the annoying dialects, though. All in all, a pretty good game. Sorta reminded me of Rune Factory in a few ways. Dunno what it's like for multiplayer yet, though.

I just picked it up today, actually. Haven't played it yet, though. I also bought Dragon Quest Rocket Slime. A little late on the take for that one, but I hear it's good stuff.

Argh, that is bullshit. How long does it take? Fifteen, maybe twenty minutes of dodging? Bleh. I doubt I'll ever get that Meta-Ridley trophy.

So, has anyone managed to get boss trophies yet? I'm still trying to figure it out. I'm somehow supposed to drag a trophy stand all the way there without dropping it or something? That won't work with Rayquaza, since he's right at the start of the level. As for the topic at hand, I used all 5 of my hammers. 1 on 100-man Brawl with everyone, one on 15-minute Melee, one on Collect All Stickers, one on 2,000 KOs (by accident, blerf), and one on... something else, I forget.

They're good for cracking that blasted, boring 15-minute Brawl or scoring 10 KOs in Cruel Brawl. Better yet, use one for 100-man Brawl with all characters. Nobody in their right state of mind would dare attempt that one.

I'll probably have to wait until tomorrow to pick it up now. The weather's so bad here. Damn you, fate, you've screwed me again!

The Wal-Mart is actually part of a huge plaza with several other stores and restaurants. If there is no line-up, I can go wait it out elsewhere. And believe me, I've spent 3 hours in a Wal-Mart before (waiting for Wiis which never came) so I'm not afraid to waste my time. Plus, I'll have my DS and mp3 player with me, not to mention a few dedicated friends who want to play the game, too. Plus, cabs are more expensive than the bus (which is free since the college subsidizes bus fare for students), so going earlier means I can take the bus and only pay for cab fare one-way.

I called my local Wal in advance. They are releasing it at midnight, and I'm going three hours early just to be on the safe side. I learned my lesson on Wii launch day to be there early.

NiGHTS: Journey into Dreams. I couldn't get into it. I bought it because of all the hype surrounding the original game I've heard over the years. It was okay, but in the end I wasn't interested and just traded it in 2 weeks later. Donkey Kong Barrel Blast. Shut up, I was desperate. Don't laugh. Rayman 2 Revolution. A port from the DreamCast to PS2 that was originally a port from the N64 to the Dreamcast. The game feels slow and unnatural, the voices are terrible and you can barely hear them, and overall the game's pace is unbearable. Megaman X: Command Mission. Maaaaan, I traded in games for this, which made it even worse. A bare-bones RPG with little in the way of side quests or exploration (save a few cheap-ass bosses), horrible VAs and story. In othewr words, par for the course for an X game. The battle system was okay, at least.

You think the game was delayed stateside to fix any of the glitches that have been popping up?

Well, that settles it: March 9th, midnight, at Wal-Mart. It's recently become a 24-hour store, so why not, eh?

Find all of his personal information which he was probably dumb enough to post online and sign him up for horrible internet deals?

Man, this game is cool. It's a lot more complex than I thought it would be, and fighting doesn't feel cheap or limited. I haven't played much yet, but the story's pretty good, too. Made me laugh out loud a few times. But... for some reason.... Travis reminds me of Tidus, from FFX. I dunno why, he just does.

If you haven't mastered Ass-banging, you don't know how to play Brawl.

I want to, but for some reason the Canadian release date keeps getting pushed back. It's supposed to come out today, however, so I'll be picking it up this weekend.

It's Flat Zone 2, and it looks like it changes between different G&W games. Also, the level is mercifully bigger this time.

I figured Toon Link would get the hurricane Slash as his final smash. You know, when he charges his spin attack up to max and goes crazy in Wind Waker? Yeah, that would've been cool. Also, use his grappling hook like Scorpion. Instead of "GET OVER HERE!" he could've shouted "C'mon!" (like at Medli, Makar, and those statues).

I think what happened was we allowed ourselves to create sky-high expectations for this game and thought they the developers would throw in every wacky idea they thought of too. Then this leak brought us all back down to earth and left us all feeling let down, even though it was almost entirely our own doing.

The only two I see as really unnecessary are Falco and Wolf, but I can live with them. Woulda been nice to have another female character in the cast, though. Midna, Bubbles, Jill, Dark Samus, Lip, etc etc etc... But yeah, still a pretty rockin' list.

Now this may seem petty, fanboyish, and futile, but what do you think the odds are of Nintendo offering extra SSBB content via VC downloads? Besides the classics mode, I mean. Stuff like new items, new stages (besides custom stages), and new characters or character skins?

It doesn't necessarily HAVE to be Wolf. It could just as easily be Krystal, or another F-Zero guy (Black Shadow? Pico?). Or it could be someone completely random. Bear in mind the singles form a pseudo-ring of sorts, starting with Samus and ending with Captain Falcon.
