Kid Icarus is still the best drat game on the system and I'm incredibly sad that there isn't a sequel yet.

Man, i just blitzed through Streets of Rage 2 a lot quicker than i ever think i did as a kid. Either i'm better, the game's easier or i've been conditioned to expect game to be longer than they once were (it might be a little of both).

Still amazing fun though.

I know it'll never happen but i would quite happily pay £40 for a collection of all these scrolling beat-em-ups. From the Simpsons and TMNT to Captain Commando and the Alien vs Predator one (maybe even the maximum carnage game too).

I don't really care if they're 3D or not, just let me get em all for the DS with savestates and some form of online co-op.

I'd also love for a big revival of this type of game and i'm surprised that the indie bandwagon hasn't jumped on these yet as i'm assuming they're very easy to make compared to half the other platforme/fps that comes out.

Castle Crashers was a huge success wasn't it? Is there a reason why we've never really gotten a huge influx of this genre since?

The company that used to own Kunio-Kun (River City Ransom) has release 5 or 6 new Kunio-Kun games for 3DS but they're all JP-only. That IP, along with Double Dragon and others, is now owned by Arc System Works and they say they want to make new games for those franchises, so you may be in luck.

I'm guessing you don't see as many indie brawlers as you do platformers is because the animation requirements are a lot higher and the people with the chops to animate nice brawler sprites are probably working on fighting games instead. There have been other noteworthy brawlers since Castle Crashers - there's Dragon's Crown, the Scott Pilgrim game for XBLA, Double Dragon Neon, etc and there's a kickstarted River City Ransom sequel coming at some point.

I just found out you can give items to party members in xenoblade. Weird the game never tells you this and none of the menu's make it apparent. I mean hell I know you apparently CAN do it but I still don't know how.

Castle Crashers was broke as gently caress since you could sneeze at the Xbox and the game would mystically eat your save file.

Just press A on any collectible item and it'll give you the option to give it as a present between party members. The boost it provides isn't very substantial though.

That's because everyone has different favourite types for much better boosts. Shulk likes machines, for example.

If this Smash is the last one, it would be a good one to go out on, so long as it's still somehow playable on NX.

I beat Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D and Ocarina of Time 3D this past week. I wasn't really feeling Ocarina of Time for a while, but the Spirit Temple and the last dungeon plus boss fight with Ganon were actually super fun and I really liked them. Looking forward to going into Majora's Mask next. Conversely, gently caress DKCR3D. I liked the 7th world (mostly) but the 8th world has some grade A bullshit. There was a level I died 68 times on. I was still able to soldier through and beat the game, but it was mostly out of defiance at that point.

I think Nintendo will continue making a Smash Bros game every generation, with or without Sakurai. It's a huge system-seller, and I think they see its value as an ongoing monument to all their properties. The whole "let's port the last one with no new features" concept Iwata considered between Melee/Brawl doesn't seem like something they'd seriously do.

There's definitely no replicating Sakurai's particular talent and style, but there's people he could reasonably pass the torch to. I'd be a perfectly happy camper if Smash NX were handled by, say, the talent behind Splatoon (with more staff/resources, of course).

Maybe? Isn't that a thing with all the Smash games? I know I never bothered getting Smash 64 because my neighbour had it so I just went over to his place to play it.

I was visiting some friends out of town and I brought Smash and a shitload of controllers since they didn't have it but they did have a WiiU. With Melee I'm pretty sure everyone I knew with a Gamecube had it.

I meant more for console sales. Relative to how many people have a Wii U, Smash sold fine, but I don't remember in spikes in hardware sales around or because of its launch since people could just go to someone's house.

Yeah, the 3DS version ended up moving 3DS units, but Smash wouldn't move Wii U units. Then again, MK8 came out before it, so it's probable that people interested in Smash already got the console for MK8.
