Characters For The Next Super Smash Bros.

Posted by The Gameanater on March 18, 2012
Posted in: Opinion. Tagged: Angry Birds, Shadow The Hedgehog, Skylanders, Sonic The Hedgehog, Spyro, Super Smash Bros.. Leave a Comment

Nintendo hasn’t given us any info   on the next Super Smash Bros game other than the fact that’s it’s going to happen. I figured I’d suggest a few characters for the game.

Miis

My Mii.

Shadow Would be perfect for Smash Bros.

One of the most surprising things of SSBB (Super Smash Bros Brawl) was that you could not play as your Mii. Hopefully you can in the next one (cause you know, that’d be cool).

Shadow The Hedgehog

Sonic was in SSBB as an unlockable character, in the next game, I think I’d like to see Shadow in there, except that he doesn’t have to be unlocked (you have no idea how much of a chore it is trying to unlock one character out of  12 or so other unlockable guys).

Waluigi

actually, Waluigi was in SSBB as an assist trophy, but he should really be a full-on playable character. He just hasn’t been in much other games then the sports games.

If Dark Spyro's not in the next Smash Bros, he's probably going to fireball somebody in the face.

The Skylanders

Who wouldn’t want to play as the Skylanders in Smash Bros? they’re awesome!

Bionicles

I own a lot of Bionicles, and I think it would be cool to play as them and watch ‘em beat up Nintendo characters.

Daisy

Daisy has not ever been in a Smash Bros game before (and no, the Peach pallet-swap that makes Peach look like Daisy doesn’t count), so I think she should have a shot at fighting.(Hey, Peach can can do it just fine! Wich makes you wonder why she doesn’t in the Super Mario games! Mabie she’s secretly dating Bowser.)

Angry Birds

Angry Birds are super popular right now, so why not have them try their might against the other Smash Bros fighters?

Miles “Tails” Prower

As I said, Sonic was in SSBB as an unlockable fighter, but as far as I know, his friend Tails wasn’t. Tails has already taken a shot at brawling (look up “Sonic Fighters” and “Sonic Battle”), so he’d be perfect for Smash Bros.

Tom Nook (from Animal Crossing)

I hardly know who Tom Nook is (I don’t play Animal Crossing), but his racoon tail makes him look like he’s ready to swip some enemies with it. (Like how Mario does with his Tanooki Suit.)

Black Doom (from Shadow The Hedgehog)

Black Doom’s attacks would translate perfectly into a Smash Bros character. Besides, he’s such a cool villain.

Well, there you go. So what guys do you want to see in the next Smash Bros? Feel free to tell me in the comments!

Ever wonder what the Combine do in their spare time (I.E. When thier not busy conquering Earth)?

Yep! I'm the head of Combine Studios! Don't worry, I don't spend the rest of my time conquering Earth with my friends... ;)

Now you know.

Super Mario 3D Land Review! (3DS)

Posted by The Gameanater on March 14, 2012
Posted in: Reviews. Tagged: 3D, review, SMB3, Super Mario, Super Mario 3D land. Leave a Comment

At first, my review was simply going to say “BUY. THIS. GAME. NOW!” But I figured you’d want to know why you must have this game. Here we go.

What you need to know:

Guess what? princess Peach has been kidnapped by Bowser, and Mario has to rescue her. Yes, the story is that deep and thought-provoking.

ESRB Rating: E

Platformer, 1 Player

Review:

The 3D effects

The 3D effects in this game are truly outstanding. Well, it may not be as “IN-YOUR-FACE!” as Star Fox 64 3D, but it still has an excellent sense of depth. Just look at it. You’ll know what I mean.

The level design

Levels are very well designed, to. About 98% of my deaths have not been because of poorly designed levels (or because of glitches), they have been my own fault. There are some pretty cleverly designed levels, to, for example; in one level several platforms appear and disappear in time with the music. Though I’ve always hated the auto-scrolling levels and this game has some of them. Thankfully, those ones are few and far between.

What?! No multiplayer?

One of the most surprising things in this game is that there is no multiplayer of any type. Which is a huge step down from New Super Mario bros. Wii. There isn’t even a local competitive multiplayer mode! It would have been very enjoyable if you where able to play through the game with a friend.

Streetpass is used well, but could have been a little better

The Streetpass in this game is used pretty well, you can play through these little “Mystery Boxes” things and beat them to earn Star Coins (the form of currency in the game) ,shere them through Streetpass with others (and also share your best level clear times)… and that’s it. It’s not bad, it just leaves a little to be desired.

The Tanooki Suit returns!

Though the suit no longer provides the ability to fly, and it now only lets you flutter down to the ground and spin-attack enemies, I’m sure everyone’s happy to have it back. :)

Judgement

This is an outstanding game overall. My main problem was the complete lack of multiplayer, and that cannot be forgiven. And I do wish there was some more suits to use (as Nintendo Power once said, “The goofier Mario looks, the more deadly he becomes”), but still, except for the no-multiplayer thing, they’re all minor complaints. This game is why you must own a 3DS.

Rating: 5/5 stars -Fantastic

The new Skylanders game looks awesome

*EDIT* I’m sorry for getting the title wrong. The game is really called “Skylanders: Spyro’s Adventure” not “Spyro: Skylanders adventure. I humbly await my punishment. *END OF EDIT*

Y’know that “Spyro: Skylanders Adverture” game where you put those little action figures for the game the “Portal of Power” thing? I have it for 3DS and Wii. The 3DS game is ok, but the Wii game is great. So great apparently, that Activision is making a sequel which is called “Skylanders: Giants”. It plays about the same as the first game, but adds some new Skylanders and giants. Besides being much larger than the normal Skylanders, the giants also are much more powerful and (probably) slower. They also can smash through gates that normal Skylanders wouldn’t be able to break or would need a key to open. And although the giants are probably going to have to be crammed onto the Portal of Power, you can indeed have two giants tearing apart the stage at once.

There are some neat little touches when you play with the giants, to. The objects on the screen (like barrels) will often bounce around as the giants walk on the ground, and the enemies, unlike the first game, have gotten somewhat smart, as they know when they are outmatched when a giant drops in, and will ether run back and regroup with their friends, or, try to hide from the giants in a corner.

Oh, and don’t worry, all of the Skylander figures from the first game are compatible with this one, meaning you won’t have to buy them again for this one.

So as I said, the new Skylanders game looks awesome. Let’s just hope that Dark Spyro (AKA, The Awesomest) is included with the game.

Mario-A MURDERER?!

Posted by The Gameanater on February 18, 2012
Posted in: News. Tagged: Super Mario. Leave a Comment

I was browsing the eShop on my 3DS yesterday, and I found out that one of the ambassador games I got for free because I got a 3DS before the price drop was now out in the eShop, and that game was Super Mario Bros. The description for that game kind of worried me. It said something like “There’s trouble in Mushroom Kingdom! The evil Bowser has turned all the inhabitants into grass, clouds and blocks of bricks! Only princess Peach can undo the spell, but she’s been captured by Bowser…”. Let me repeat that, Bowser has turned all the inhabitants into blocks of bricks. Uh, Mario destroys blocks of bricks all the time, so… Is he killing a Toad every time he does that? Here is the photographic proof (left):

So IS Mario guilty of murder? I think so (I can’t belive I just said that!). What about you?

(Sorry about the really bad quality of the picture, I snapped it with my camera.)

Predictions for 2012

Posted by The Gameanater on January 30, 2012
Posted in: Uncategorized. Tagged: 2012 Predictions (click on me), 3D, Legend of Zelda, Nintendo Okie, Shadow The Hedgehog, Sonic The Hedgehog, Super Smash Bros.. Leave a Comment

Hi! I’m back! This poor site’s been neglected recently. This is a post I ment to put up at the start of the year, but I forgot.

These are my predictions for 2012:

1: The WiiU will have a Mario or Zelda launch title so it gets of to a good start.

2: The 3DS will overshadow the PSvita because it’s better.

3: SEGA will announce Shadow The Hedgehog 2 for the WiiU.

4: The next Smash Bros. will be released and cause a big increase for 3DS sales.

5: Shelby Coulter of Nintendo Okie will buy a 3DS.

That last one is really just a joke, but you know how I know he will? Well, I think I remember him saying “Kid Icaris: Uprising is one of my most anticipated titles of the year…” That game is a 3DS  exclusive, so, he would have to buy a 3DS to play it!

I’ll explain the first prediction to. The 3DS kind-of stumbled out of the gate because of the lack of a Mario or Zelda launch title,so it would make sense for Nintendo to learn not to release  a handheld or console without a Mario or Zelda launch title.

For number two, this is just judging from the sales in Japan (not that good), I don’t know for sure, but I have a good feeling ’bout this one.

For number three, this is just me hoping for a sequel. I’ve beaten the first game, wich was pretty darn good (see my review), I really think SEGA should make another one.

And for number four, Nintendo hasn’t given’ us any info of the Super Smash Bros. coming to 3DS and Wii-u, other than that’s going to happen. Let’s hope the 3DS game comes this year.

So there are my predictions for the year 2012. What about you? What are YOUR predictions for the year? Post   5 of ‘em (no more or less than 5) in the comments, and at the end of the year, I’ll put them with mine, and score us based on how well we did!

I know it’s a little late to say, but, happy new year! Let’s hope the world doesn’t end! :D

New Year Resolutions

Posted in: Uncategorized. Tagged: half-life, Shadow The Hedgehog, Sonic The Hedgehog, Super Mario. Leave a Comment

It’s the start of a new year, time to make resolutions. Most people do, and some follow through with them. These are the ones I think some video game heroes should make.

Gordon Freeman[Below} (Half-Life series): Take lessons in public speaking.

Mario(Super Mario series): Buy a security system for Mushroom Kingdom

Toad(Super Mario series): Stop shaving his chest.

Alyx (Half-Life series): Get clothes  that fit.

Sonic The Hedgehog(Sonic series): Eat enough chili dogs to get back his old bot-belly look from the Genesis days.

Luigi (Super Mario series): Stop letting Mario hog the spotlight.

Princess Peach (Mario series): Take a lesson or two in self-defense.

Big the Cat (Sonic series): Write himself out of the series history.

Dr. Eggman (Sonic series): Stop building robots with clear weaknesses.

Shadow The Hedgehog (Sonic series): Teach Sonic how to avoid losing all his rings when he gets hurt.

Civil "Protection" Unit (Metro Cop)Civil "Protection" Units [Left] (Half-life series): Learn to take cover (see my review of Half-life 2).

And my New Year resolutions:

1)Convince SEGA to make Shadow The Hedgehog 2.

2)Play more games.

Happy New Year! :D
