If they make it good enough, I can imagine them making a "world map" (I hope they make it good), with challenges, but also two way roads and stuff... I can't wait to see master hand... I loved the one on ssb 64, and though the gc one looked like a blanket to me, I loved crazy hand. But considering how the plot looks, there will probably be a master hand coop battle...

MtlAngelus

23 Jul 2007, 12:23

People will want to talk about other gaming related news that might not have much to do with t17, but are still something they want to discuss, for example, new consoles and stuff, or upcomming games that might revolutionize a genre. Which is not a bad thing to discuss here because they are news that affect the whole gaming comunity.
But having an individual thread for a non T17 game is a stupid idea because, there's probably a forum for that game where you will most likely get more and better responses.

Especialy with the 'no clone characters' thing they've got going on this time.

Then again we could see either Marth or Roy return if Ike has a completely different move set.

Or we might get a second new Fire emblem character.

As for the Ice Climbers, They're just kind of obscure. They'd make much more sence as an assist trothy.

Game and watch has a decent chance of making a return apearance.

That's wrong, you know? Technically, Metaknight is some kind of knight :p with a value of honour and stuff, while King Dedede, (as you can read in his trophy in Smash Bros Melee) is just some guy who claims to be the king of dreamland, despite the fact that nobody cares. No relation. In some games, Metaknight even helps kirby (at least, in the magic mirror, GBA, does).

Anyways, I'd love to see him in too :D

As Wikipedia says:
"[In the Anime], as in the games, he works for King Dedede, but is in truth an ally to Kirby and only stays with the king to keep a close eye on his schemes.
...
Though he works for Dedede, Meta Knight will obey or disobey him based on whether the king's orders further his own agenda of training Kirby. At one point when Dedede questioned his loyalty, Meta Knight insisted that he was his faithful servant- and then kicked him off a cliff."

He would probably be much better as an assist trophy.
Actually, I bet he'll be a boss in the SubSpace Emissary.

And just as a little rant: he's been in practically every single Metroid game, and there is still no backstory on the guy beyond "He gets made into a ROBOT a lot".
Hell, when I found that you go to the pirate homeworld in Metroid Prime 3, I was ecstatic, but there was absolutely no information about who the pirates are or what their society is like (Or even the name of their SPECIES, which would be nice so that we could stop saying "Space Pirates" all the time). There wasn't even any lore to scan.
The best I got was a fleeting glimpse at a space pirate city out of a window, but that's not enough. I wanted to run around there rather than the boring old military base.

15 Sep 2007, 23:00

I think my first reactions to rush were much like yours.

The game was impossbly hard, had annoying cutscenes and the boost bar thingy didn't seem to want to fill up at all.

Then I worked out how to propperly use the trick system the whole thing clicked. Rush isn't your traditional Sonic game, the closest thing I can compare it to is Burnout.

Very few games can compare to the awesomeness of speeding through a level in sonic rush, your feet barely touching the ground and your finger never leaving the boost button. Or the satisfaction of getting an S rank for your troubles.

It wasn't perfect but it was a damned good foundation to build upon. Which is a horrible shame because Sonic team are going to butcher the sequel.

Slick

15 Sep 2007, 23:31

If Sonic Rush didn't use a mix between sprites (bad guys) and 3D characters (Sonic, ect) It would help. The sprites weren't even animated half way decent. That flat out sucked.

Putting all that aside though, the reason I gave my copy of Sonic Rush away is... well. The music. That is absolutely the most annoying sound track. It just ruined the game for me. :p

Oft99

17 Sep 2007, 19:53

Sonic rush is looking to be absolutely brilliant if you look at the reviews. Even if the storyline and characters won't be.

Apparantly the game and it's game world is huge and it takes ages to see it all. It is much less linear than Sonic Rush but still uses a similiar formula in the levels. As well as massive game worlds you can sail around in like in Zelda: Phantom Houglass, there are also minigames and stuff.

Ok, so Marine the racoon is probably the most un original looking character yet, surpassing even Silver, the game it self looks aboslutely brilliant and I am therefore exited.

EDIT: @Slick. STOP RIGHT THERE! The Sonic Rush soundtrack rocked like hell. Ok so maybe it didn't quite fit the gameplay in some places, but it was something different and some of it is damn catchy.

EDIT2: I've just looked at the the official american site for Sonic Rush Adventure (http://www.sega.com/gamesite/sonicrushadv/index.html). The first thing that hit me was the music from an embedded player which was terrible and I mean it, nothing compared to that of the original Sonic Rush. I then looked at the story info, and you'd be suprised to hear that the plot actualy sounds quite original, even if the charcters aren't.

Has to be said, I did not like the Rush soundtrack as much as the music for most other Sonic games. Back 2 Back and What U Need are okay, and Right There Ride On reminds me a bit of Status Quo, which is fun, but that's about it.

I will, however, concede that it is distinctive, which trumps those Jun Senoue pieces where he's thinking more about his 1337 guitar skillz than actually writing a gloddamn tune (More highs and lows than any other Sonic composer, in my estimation).

EDIT: To back up my point.

Sonic - The unchanging, idealistic hero that this sort of thing demands. Acceptable given this, but hardly worthy of being called "character development".
Knuckles - Lol. Dude's only just working out that Sonic is generally a good guy.
Shadow - Argh argh argh.
Amy Rose - Okay, she's had a bit of character development. But she's still obsessive about Sonic, just more self-confident in her obsession.
The Doc - Fair play to him, he's come some way from his "I AM GENERICALLY EVIL" beginnings, but he now has a bad case of Spikeification (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main.Spikeification).

Meanwhile, Tails (up to and including SA2, at least) has stepped out from Sonic's shadow, developed his skill with machines to a level that rivals the Doc's, saved Station Square from being nuked, and stood up to the Doc right at the moment where his idol was on his way to burning up in re-entry. Okay, since then things haven't been so great, but IMHO it's all gone a bit skew-whiff plotwise since Sonic Heroes came out.

It's certainly not as good as the origional though. But that'd be due to having to remove the 'darker' tone to it (it's not an Ashley-specific level, remember) and having to make it more upbeat for SSB-style.
But the Japanese version is better, because it doesn't sound like it's done by a 30-year-old 'false' American model.

Meanwhile, Tails (up to and including SA2, at least) has stepped out from Sonic's shadow, developed his skill with machines to a level that rivals the Doc's, saved Station Square from being nuked, and stood up to the Doc right at the moment where his idol was on his way to burning up in re-entry. Okay, since then things haven't been so great, but IMHO it's all gone a bit skew-whiff plotwise since Sonic Heroes came out.
Didn't Tails only get proper character development in the two SA games?
Same with nearly every character before Shadow?

It's like Sonic2 all over again! (http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/modea/modea07.html)

1. Sadly, yeah, people will seem to overuse him.

2. It's a signal that they didn't screw up. (SUMMON TAILS AND KNUCKLES FOR A SUPPER SPINNING ATTACK!) (OR EVEN BETTER! DO A MASSIVE HOMING ATTACK! WHILE SHADOW SHOTS EVERYONE! AND THEN HE SAYS HE'S COOL!)

3. D: There's still hope...

Actually, I've seen people around there saying that sonic now looks as classic as ever, not like the crap Sonic Team made...

Yes, a bit scared too.

I don't really have much to say.
I'm kinda suprised and not suprised at the same time.
I would be fainting right now, but the exitment died by a minor amount when I heard that he'll have a voiceover and rock upbeat music. "Sonic's the name, speed's my game" ugh, seriously
But hey, it's still good news!

10 Oct 2007, 18:53

KICK-AWESOME!
It would be nice if I was able to watch those movies though. I don't know why I can't (popup comes up, but the video doesn't work)
I'd also be more estatic if I hadn't just got a kitten!

Also, I'm suprised Paul still hasn't posted yet. I thought his natural 'sonic' instincts would drive him here just as soon as the site was updated!
...unless he fainted again...

Edit: Even more kick-ass! This was announced on my birthday too!

You know, I wanted Sonic to be in not just because I like him (or what he used to be, anyway), but because he could be damn fun to play as.
And it looks like he is. :cool:

I bet GameFAQs going ape**** with all of the "THIS WILL BE SONIC'S MOVESET" threads.

10 Oct 2007, 20:49

Hmm... I wonder what his level is going to be like...
Also, for the love of Me, they bloody well better put Marth back in! I kick ass with him!

Also, I don't suppose anyone has any of those SBdojo videos of Snake and Sonic already on youtube or something, do they?

Edit: also again, anyone else getting worried about no word of a release date for SSB:B outside of the US?

Considering that this voice was already recorded, it could just be for the video...

Remember the first video? no character had a voice yet.

Also, I think that an instrumental version of that "IN THIS WOOOOOORRRRRRRLDDDD" could suit as one of the themes... (remember there were more than one per stage?)

It's called 'Brutal Legend'

http://www.1pstart.com/tim-schafer-psychonauts-jack-black-tenacious-d-brutal-legend/

It's an action/adventure game in which you play as a recently deceased roady rocking his way out of hell. Jack Black (yes that Jack Black) will provide the main character's voice.

In short, Full Throttle x Tenacious D = this game.

Well, the SSBB page just gave out some spoilers. I expected it, but still. Sucks.

God dammit Nintendo.

Whenever a new system comes out, you leave the old one in the dust. Even if awesome games come out for the older system (MOTHER3, Rythm Tengoku) you just say "GAMEBOY ADVANCED IS STUPID AND OLD. DS AND WII ARE THE FUTURE WOO" and it p!$$es me off to no end.

For the love of christ get over it.

When Zelda transformed into Shiek in Melee nobody whined about having OoT spoilt.

They went 'hey, that's cool, it's just like in zelda 64.'

What is the spoiler anyway? unless I missed an update the last earthbound related item was the city level. Was it the billboards thing? Because if that's a major plot point you're probably taking the game too seriously.

No, dingbat! It's because there's a monster in the level! This is implying that Mother3 has a monster(s) in it! PigBuster obviously wanted to wait until he bought the game himself before finding that out...

philby4000

16 Oct 2007, 19:29

Turns out that the spoiler revealed by the level is that the recuring bad guy, who swore that he'd return near the end of Earthbound 1 (and had a time machine), is in Mother 3. If you look real hard you can spot a statue of him in one of the screenshots. That and the level in question is named after him.

This is all very 'Ganon is in Twighlight princess? Way to spoil the game for me ********.'

Okay. :p

Come to think of it, I don't think there's a "sudden reveal" during the game. The story behind everything is the real importance.
I'm probably making a bigger deal out of the secrecy than the game does itself.

And to be honest, my incessant whining was beginning to annoy me. :p

Advance Wars: Days of Ruin (http://kotaku.com/gaming/nintendo-ds/advance-wars-days-of-ruin-hands-on-impressions-310918.php)

I don't think it'll be that bad, but... I kinda liked how goofy teenagers were the commanding officers and they fought the enemy using super powers.
I guess it's akin with replacing all of the characters in Pheonix Wright with "serious, dark" personalities.
