Man, I really want that ? box. Thing is, if I got the koopa shell, the urge to jump on it would be too great and that probably wouldn't be good for it... Now here's something relatively interesting: IGN said that the Wii Zapper's trigger feels "spongy and unresponsive", which really would be a bad thing for something like MoH. However, they've also just announced a new one on Gear - the "Brando Wii 2 in 1 combined Light Gun", which they say may be the best design yet. They don't have a hands-on yet, but basically it looks like if the trigger has a tighter spring than the Zapper it will blow it away. Check here for the article. Looks a lot more comfortable than that "blaster" that came out recently as well. Of course this would mean sacrificing the crossbow training, but big deal - it's just Duck Hunt with those goblins from TP anyway. I'm still going to wait and see what they say about it once it's out. I wonder if since MoH is "compatible" with the Wii Zapper as they say, it would also be "compatible" with this. It probably just means button accessibility, so I doubt it would be a problem.

Man, this is great, but why didn't some of the others get this kind of coverage?

Plus don't forget that Zero Suit Samus has a whip, and young link is still up in the air.

Sonic 3 and Knuckles was a part of my childhood. It is one of the most innovative, diverse, and exhilarating games I've played. Plus, it had a damn good soundtrack. Don't forget the dynamic sonic 2 used where two players could play at once through the levels (cooperatively or competitively). I think NSMB is the only mario game to attempt something like this. And the whole concept where if you find all the hidden bonus items through the whole game, you gain a new ability and a better ending. And all the elemental shields which provide new abilities. Don't get me wrong - I adore mario games - probably more than the sonic games (though I still find them awfully hard to compare)...but don't go over-simplifying and ignoring what made sonic so great to begin with. Also wow, hahaha, I feel like it's the early 90's all over again. EDIT: I forgot to put anything useful in this post, so let me also say this: I might get this crossbow/zapper combo if only for medal of honor, which looks like it might be fantastic. We'll see. I know the crossbow game is just a bunch of minigames, but...meh. 20 bucks. And if it makes heroes 2 more playable, I'm all for it.

I was under the impression the version where the music was replaced was actually the PC port.

I love getting games where the box is actually sealed in cellophane.

"But you just took a week off duri... oh, you're counting to a million? No worries then, you're covered."

He has a clicker that actually updates a number on a monitor so he can't lose count.

A Wii should cause no more damage to the TV than, say, a DVD player. It's just another input.

Phazon, I thought...(black + red)

Yeah - better yet, if they replaced the costume system with that. That would also allow for Dr. Mario and Mario to be one, and also Wario and Wario Ware Wario. I know a lot of people have already said that here, but I still think it bears repeating.

Hahaha I know what you're talking about. It's getting close. And these are like the only two really active threads... Anyway, I definitely think Wario's bike WILL just come out of nowhere. Similar to how Yoshi's egg just appears in Melee. His bike is a SPECIAL MOVE, it actually said that on the website.

Awesome, I'd never seen this. They should implement it into HL2 episode 3 or something. DMM plus gravity gun (or better yet, garry's mod) would be awesome.

You know, Stickerbrush Symphony was AMAZING, but I really can't hear it in brawl. I think a much better Smash-ish DK song would be the gangplank galleon/k.rool battle theme from the first DKC.

I'm in dire need of a certain sound. It's a quick choral "ohm" or "zohm" kind of sound, but there's a number of ways it could go. Here's a couple of examples of what I'm talking about, as I suck at describing it. The more like these examples it is, the better: EXAMPLE 1 EXAMPLE 2 If one of you could post just a clean WAV or maybe a soundfont containing this sound, I'd be eternally grateful. If you can't, any kind of quick choral burst or something kind of like that (like a "hah" or anything like that) would also suffice. It's got to be quick though, because this particular project I'm working on has a deadline which happens to be very soon.

You're trying to get support from the wrong audience. Plus, you can't deny we're all just spoiled because of Melee. People are essentially saying they wish the music was as good as it was in that, not that it would be bad by itself.

I like fun games. Why are classifications important?

No pun intended, I'm sure - ho ho ho.

Yeah I was thinking the same thing. Also, I don't think "normal move" includes smashes either, so I'd disagree with all those saying it is. I think I'm with the down aerial crowd.

Hahaha Link could have the Dominion Rod - just point it at someone and walk them off the edge.

Haha, nice.

The concept of I Am Legend is pretty intriguing. I hope it doesn't wind up sucking. That one's also out December.

No it isn't - it's been a very long time since I've played a great game I knew nothing about beforehand, and thus it's been a very long time, probably since Metroid Prime, that I've experienced that same kind of surprise and joy of playing such a game and finding something new. I'd rather go "wow this is amazing" DURING the game than before it, only to get the game and go "yeah, there's that, I already know about that" like it was for me with Twilight Princess. I think I'm actually going to just stop reading about the game altogether, be it here or on the dojo site. In short, spoilers piss me off.

That would have been an amazingly hilarious caption for that picture.

My laptop is called Triskelion. It's a cool word.
