I actually think Brawl is the best looking smash game style-wise if you're playing on an EDTV

This is true and I think Snake could still fit in well with Smash 4's art style.

I'm still keeping my fingers crossed for Snake DLC.:(

So another Blue haired anime swordsman, Takamaru, was considered for Smash but there wasn't a whole lot of fan familiarity with him.

Nobody knew who Marth or Roy were before Melee

People compare Takamaru to Little Mac a lot, but Little Mac got a new game on the Wii and has had some cameos in stuff like Captain Rainbow. Takamaru hasn't even had that.

It's closer to Pit, but Pit also had a Gameboy sequel to his NES game and was known in both the US and Japan.

Takamaru's just an obscure dude. Even in Japan.

It is, but when EVERY character benefits from being defensive and being in an offensive position always puts you at risk you get slow and boring gameplay especially at the high level.

They were supposed to be cut from the English version of the game for this very reason, but playtesters liked their playstyle so they were kept.

Takamaru's the new go-to guy for Nintendo trivialists, now that Punchout is now strongly ingrained into the Nintendo identity as much now as it was in the NES era.

Also, when are they going to put Murasame Castle on the Wii U eshop in North America? I know it's on the 3DS shop, but c'mon.

Is Takamaru from that one game with the catchy music that showed up in the retro stages? If so, I'd give a thumbs up solely for that.

Afro Demon should be in id's next game.
If anyone's interested, a friend of mine is running an amiibo tournament for charity. He's taking 16 amiibos at a time that will each be "auctioned" off to the highest bidder, who will then be represented by said amiibo in the tournament. The bids are pooled and the person who's amiibo wins will get 15% of the pool, and the other 85% will be donated to the charity of the winner's choosing.

Here's a link to a video explaining it in more detail:

Even if you don't participate, it should at least be entertaining to watch.

If you have Brawl and a Wii I think you only need to download the launcher onto an SD card. On PC you need an emulator like Dolphin.

Play on Dolphin and your resolution issues are gone and it looks drat beautiful in HD, can't help with the Villager though. :(

Dolphin can have slight performance issues. You'll never notice it if you're playing most singleplayer games on a good setup but the occasional hiccups when doing Project M can get annoying. I mean if you're the type of person who is modding an old game to be an older game you'll probably care

The greatest thing about this stream is we have historical video footage of Sakurai saying "Spongebob" and nothing that happens now in Smash history can ever take that away.

Also I like how they mention Segata Sanshiro amongst other bizarre requests. More than a decade after his demise and his soul still lingers on. If Sega ever made another inner-company 3D fighter crossover what's left of the entire hardcore gaming community of Japan would basically force them to put him in the game wouldn't they?

Yep. Hudson was bought by Konami, and then it kept running for a while until Konami decided to kill it off, along with all of Hudson's IPs. The last thing Bomberman showed up in was Tetris Axis for the 3DS I believe.

Yeah it kinda of sad. Before Konami had brought Hudsun Soft' they were working on a new Bomberman and Bonk game for the 3DS. But after they merged with Konami the were told to cancel all games they were working on. Now the only new Bomberman games were on mobile phones.

Konami doesn't seem to want to use their IP other the Silent Hill, Metal Gear, and Castlevania. God I would love to see a new Goemon or a re-release of Sunset Riders and Mystic Warriors.
