Suh-weet! I do love me some Peach. (no subtext)

Ness is my favourite, and has been since original Smash.

The stuff I read about it on Joystiq was ‘muted’, shall we say? Our discussion on the podcast this week hit upon the real NUB of the issue (pun intended): they should have put another circle pad there. Why didn’t they? So that they have the option of doing that in yet another iterative hardware revision in a year or so. Dastardly!

Ness is a fun character but if you really want to be a dick go with Marth or Peach. Ugh

And I’m hearing surprisingly positive things about the N3DS nub out of TGS, despite the rather obvious ploy to keep old 3DS users from having a better alternative to the new hardware.

@SN: The premise behind this would be, I imagine, that the hardware limitations of every 3DS prevent satisfactory rendering when the Ice Climbers are deployed for every player. Not every 3DS user has an Ashtray (in fact, most people do not).

“properly angry that Ice Climbers have been dropped so that they could support the 3DS version identically with the Wii U version.”

Seems odd that they support the 3DS version in this, but not the CirclePad Pro… :/

I played Smash Melee with Bup and some of his buddies once. I destroyed everyone over and over again with Ness. I think his friends concluded from this that I was a bit of a dick.

The sad thing about this is I really never care about the Smash games, but I buy them anyway. I’m horrible at fighting games in general and Smash is no exception. So I’ll play it for like a week, probably go online or play with friends like once, and then never touch it again.

Mega Man is fun, but I don’t know that he’s for me. A lot of his moves, unsurprisingly, are projectiles and so are pretty vulnerable to the many ways in which other characters can reflect or absorb them. His forward smash is even a projectile! However, his air game is quite good and he’s got a very satisfying spike.

I’m properly excited for Mega Man, but properly angry that Ice Climbers have been dropped so that they could support the 3DS version identically with the Wii U version.

STUPID!
