Heavies like Bowser and DK were pretty strong in the first couple months of Smash 4, but fell off soon after. It’ll be interesting to see how they fare down the road. If anyone’s going to stay relevant though, it’s got to be K Rool with that armor belly and crazy recovery.

I totally agree. I didn’t think it was too long or tedious. I think you really have to enjoy playing most of the cast to appreciate it. Once you’ve won a bunch of matches with someone, switch to someone else and just use overpowered spirits to compensate when you’re not as good with that character. Some of the later…

Great review! The only thing I’d mention is that the developer is Bandai Namco, not Nintendo.

the top 2 are pretty solid, but I can’t get behind the rest.

ha, I can’t even imagine

ha, yeah it’s more like the outfit was designed for her playstyle rather than her story personality. Honestly, that’s how game characters SHOULD be designed when story isn’t quite as important.

Great article! Soul Calibur’s character designs have always been form over function, but I always felt like the male characters incorporated story elements into their designs more than the female ones. I think SCV is the outlier where they threw out a lot of what people loved and really focused on the story (which…

Honestly I’m surprised they’ve lasted this long. It’s too bad they couldn’t work out a deal with Game Informer or something.

kind of makes me wonder what’s going to happen with the Smash guide I pre-ordered a couple months ago... https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0744019044/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I’m glad to hear that team is free to work on other things but I’m a little worried that Tabata is out. I have no idea where the FF series is headed, but I wouldn’t mind more games in the same vein as “World of FF.”

The last time I embraced Miyamoto, it did not go over well.

It just goes to show how out of touch we were back then. Back in 2000 I was under the impression that almost every dreamcast owner grabbed PSO when it came out. And no Sonic Adventure 2? I guess people traded their DC’s for PS2's as soon as they got a chance. 

last time I tried my wavebird with the adapter on Switch, it didn’t. Maybe it’s a usb oversight that can be patched?

Correct, but the wavebird (last time I checked) did not.

That’s a Wii U in that shot. :)

Last time I tried it with the GC adapter it didn’t work, but it did on Wii U.

Last time I tried it didn’t work, but it did on Wii U.

Now if only the wavebird worked on the Switch. :(

I honestly forgot about the music for some reason. Though if they went with the original Tony Hawk, that’s mostly punk band labels that wouldn’t give an F about it. :)
