Watch this and you'll laugh hystarically first, and then be strangely disturbed for the rest of the day...

Personally, I have no idea why this makes me laugh so much...

I don't know, but personally, the more you know about the characters in Smash Bros., the more fun it is. I, having been a huge Nintendo person for a long time, know background info of about 95% of everything in Smash Bros. It's also really cool when you see a stage based off of your favorite game, such as the Great Bay stage in Melee. I think the thing that makes that stage so awesome is the fact that it almost looks like you're INSIDE Majora's Mask. If you look in the background, almost everything in that stage is like the real place in Majora.

On the other hand, I have a friend who knows nothing about Nintendo, and says that "Smashville" in Brawl is a stupid and childish level. For people who have played either game of the Animal Crossing franchise, our opinions differ greatly.

Well, Nintendo was revolutionary with it's first SSB title when it came into motion. Back then, most fighting games had the mentality of...

"OK, HERE WE, GO, GET READY.... GOOOOOOOOO!!!! OK, OK, CMON, GOTTA MASH THAT "A" BUTTON FASTER THAN MY OPPONENT... OOH, LOOK AT THAT MEAN COMBO MOVE... AND SWEET! A FIVE-SECOND KO! PWNED!!!"

Smash Bros. for the N64 totally changed that, though, and the only reason why we still play Melee and Brawl is for that same awesome feel that the N64 version first introduced. It's sad, really, how so many people overlook that and say, "DEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR, MELEE HAS BETTER GRAPHICS, so it's betteEEERRRRRRRR!!!"

So there you have it. The game behind the mentality.

Lol, you're a Dude, too. AND a green one !! (ask me if you want the explanation behind my screenname)
Thanks, it seems that I always bash the new games in a series... I used to hate Melee until I got really good with Pikachu... I guess Brawl doesn't deserve to be bashed, but it just wasn't the revolutionary experience that everyone was clamoring about...

In my opinion... the only thing that made Brawl worth playing was it's soundtrack... (more on that later)

Like... DUDE!!! You're totally right... it's not just the Home Run Bat that doesn't have the awesome intensity, it's the entire physics and engine. Personally, I have come to love Melee's fast and hectic style, but still... Brawl has some stuff that really irritates me to no end... such as *cough, it's going around, cough* GAME N' WATHCHCHHCHHCHCASSSSS FIIIIIIINNALLLL SMASSSHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

ARRRRRRRG, THIS GUY AAAAT MYYYYYY SCHOOOOL UUUUUUSSSEEESSSSS IT ALLL THE TIME!!!!!!!!!

SO ANNOYING...

On the other hand, I also gladly will play the original N64 version, with it's slower reaction time, it's polygon-like character models, and simplistic fighting... personally if you ask me, the N64 version WAS Smash Bros... but Brawl adds a lot of new stuff.
So, that being said, Brawl simply does not use it's new features correctly, and there was room for more fairness and fun...
I still ponder why Nintendo made a Final Smash an item and not a move that perhaps charges up over time. Then an item similar to a smash ball could be broken to enable a character to counter a Final Smash...
Please don't get me into the horrible in-accuracy of Subspace Emissary's storyline. I have both the original N64 and Melee, but not Brawl. However, from what I've seen of the new adventure mode, it's simply a wanna-be platformer featuring the full Smash crew. Well, at least the cutscenes seemed cool at first until you see GANNONDORF, the Technologically Impaired Gerudo, USING A COMPUTER, and BOWSER WITH HIS KOOPA ARMY STEALING DK'S BANANAS! OHH, SOO OUT OF PLACE, IT'S JUST... IT'S... IT'S... IT'S OOOOOOOOOOOVEEEERRRRR NIIIIIIIIINEE-THOOOOOOOOOUSAAAAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't really know, but Mario Kart DS has become a lot more fun and enjoyable now. People who actually play the game for the fun and suspenseful experience of it take up the majority of the network now, and that's the way I like it. Now that I'm a lot worse at snaking, and the game as well, playing online appeals to me a lot more as it makes for the type of experience that Nintendo intended for players to have...

-AND-

NINTENDO, YOU'RE SO AWESOME FOR TAKING "SNAKING" OUT OF MARIO KART WII!!!
