FiM was in the running, but dropped out of the race, as the developers felt they wouldn't have the game ready in time for EVO.

@GreenDream
Go watch some videos of REAL high level Melee play. Somehow I doubt the tournament you watched was exactly reflective of how high level play works in Melee. I'd recommend finding some footage of the recent APEX tournament.

Tier lists in Smash are based on matchups, not whatever you seem to think their based on.

@GreenDream
So you don't know anything about wavedashing then. All wavedashing is useful for is as a positioning tool. Jiggs probably didn't win just because of wavedashing, unless you can objectively prove that Jigglypuffs wavedash is somehow better than every other character, or that it makes her better(SPOILER: it doesn't. Go read a tier list).

Smash isn't the only series with ATs like wavedashing. Remember roll cancelling in CvS2? Way more important and powerful than wavedashing.

@GreenDream
Do you even know what wavedashing is? Most people at least bring up things like the random or chaotic elements like items when dismissing Smash from being a 'real' fighter. I don't see how advanced techniques like wavedashing keep it from being competitive.

@Adam
...but we're donating for Melee, not Brawl.

@turtlelink
P4A is already in, and TvC isn't eligible for voting.

@SpaceKappa
If items are so integral to gameplay, why even have the option to turn them off?

There's very little skill involved with items, especially powerful ones. If a powerful item spawns, the match basically stops while players fight to get to the item, then whoever gets it usually gets a few instant kills. Oh, and they f*** over slow characters because they have a harder time getting to them.

@eirikr
At this point, Melee is so far ahead of Brawl in donations that if we want Smash in EVO AT ALL, it's Melee or bust.

@SpaceKappa
Heaven forbid people play a game without random elements.

@FluttershyGuy
MLP dropped out of the running for the 8th game because the devs knew it wouldn't be ready in time for EVO.

@X-Conor-X
Um...no it's not. If it was, we would've seen something on the Nintendo Direct.

@arrmixer
It really doesn't take that much effort to put out a VC game. One's Nintendo has developed the appropriate emulator, they just bundle a rom in said emulator and make a few minor touches(adjusting controls, etc.). That's why Japanese games don't make it internationally: Nintendo doesn't like putting effort into these things.

@Assassin87
Like I said, I think a Super Mario Multiverse game would be better.

@9-Volt
Please, no. Mario doesn't need to turn into Sonic Adventure.

@Raylax
lololol.

As for the remake itself, I hope they include a sidequest log. One of the most annoying things in the original was that I'd come back to play it after a long time, then not remember what sidequests I had or hadn't done, and then I'd quit because I'm OCD. A feature that keeps track of that stuff would be really useful, and would seriously improve the chances of me getting this.

@0LD_SK0OL_PUNK
Nobody's making you buy this.

From what I understand, they're remaking it to give the game a wider audience(the GC wasn't exactly the most successful console).

@Erica_Hartmann
Yeah, the Bulbears especially.

@AyeHaley
Not quite big enough. How about:
Super Mario Multiverse

Wasn't a huge fan of Epic Yarn, though that had more to do with the game feeling slow and boring than being easy. Have to wait and see how I feel about this.

"Pulling the strings."

Shame on whoever came up with that.

If it's a sequel to any other 3D Mario game, I kinda hope it's one to Sunshine.

@berenlazarus
Best is not the same as innovative. SMG1 was the last Mario game I could really call innovative. All the games since, while I can't call them "bad", have just been retreading the same ground(and not just with gameplay).

@Shadx
They're remaking it because it was on the Gamecube. They're giving it a chance to reach a wider audience.

@BeatOli
They'd be complaining if it was portable, too.

Edit: I don't have access to my Wii U now, so kinda wish it was playable on my 3DS, but I'm more than happy that my favorite 3D Zelda is getting some love.

Makes me wish I had my Wii U with me right now.

Disappointed that there appears to be a lack of any character from Gaiden or the Jugdral games. Other than that, this looks pretty cool.

@tealovertoma
Nintendo has been getting better at voice acting. The problems with Nintendo dubs tend to result from Nintendo going almost exclusively for newer VAs than for veterans.

KI:Uprising had a very good dub. If that's an indication of what future Nintendo dubs will be like, then it's fine by me.

"Excited beyond words" was the closest to what I'm feeling right now. I'm glad Windwaker Got tapped for a remake before MM or TP.

That said....Am I the only one who thinks the original game looked BETTER? It had this great anime/cartoony look, and I'm just not getting that off these new HD graphics.

I wonder if this means more possible HD remakes? SMG HD collection, anyone?

WIND WAKER HD!

@VeinZ
If they want DC or GC games, they'll need to figure out a way to deal with the analog triggers.

@ETLN
They could always release a special controller for that.

@Hokori
Meat products then. Or maybe tofu.

The reason it will be different is because there will be veggies instead of fruit.

@HawkeyeWii
Overrated =/= underpowered.

I call him overrated because I'm sick of people treating Batman like some uber-baddonkey . I'm also sick that everyone seems to want to turn every superhero into Batman in some way or another.

@HawkeyeWii
Batman is way overrated. No, really. I'm sick of people treating Batman like an uber baddonkey , and of people trying to turn literally every superhero into Batman in some way.

YES! YES!

This was my most anticipated Operation Rainfall game. So excited for this!

@KaiserGX
GL's is really dumb as well(His legs look like they have fishnets on them). Also, the comic does make it look a bit better. Supes wearing armour is NOT from his New52 design BTW.

@KaiserGX
It still looks stupid. Plus, why does Superman need the armor?

Anyway, on the game itself: I'm not a fan of the art style. I don't care much for the grimdark look(though given the story, I suppose it's appropriate), but I'm especially not fond of the armoured look that they gave every character(GL has the worst costume). Still might pick it up though.

@TenEighty
The use of "God" in the title isn't literal.

Wow. And I thought Wii mode couldn't get any dumber.

There shouldn't even be a Wii mode. There's literally no good reason why I shouldn't be able to launch my Wii stuff straight from the Wii U menu.

NINTENDO: Stop using "blocks" and just list stuff in GB/MB/KB like everyone else!

@WingedFish
He was referring to the launch games of the Wii(w/ Twilight Princess) and Gamecube(Melee), NOT the upcoming SSB or possible upcoming Zelda.

Took me a few seconds to figure out too.

Wait, are they doing a physical magazine? I would have thought it would have been better to do an eMagazine.

FIRE EMBLEM!

Seriously, Nintendo, get with the times.

@gamepopper
Amen to that. If Nintendo wants to stop piracy and hackers, they should improve their services. Clean up the eShop, remove the points system, remove region lock.

Also, I really wish some console dev added support for file patching for their games.

Merry Christmas, and Happy Holidays everyone!

I got a Wii U deluxe set + NSMBU! Was honestly not expecting it. Sadly, I won't get to play it very much this year since I'll be moving back to college in a few weeks and the Wii U isn't coming with.

@Rapido
Eh, I guess you're entitled to your opinion, but there's just so much about the game that seems wrong, like the fact that you have to take damage/lose a life to get certain items, the fact that some upgrades can be lost forever, the fact that it is impossible to make it through the game as armorless/Shadow Armor X, and Zero's Sentsuizan(Srsly, **** whoever thought making this move ^+Attack was a good idea).
