The reviewer -- competitive Smash player Dac -- claims that Brawl "...is the greatest game I've ever played in my entire life."
For those who own a Wii this is a must-buy, and for those who don't own a Wii this is a bona fide system seller.
"I have never seen more effort put into a video game than what has been shown in Brawl."
The Wii is now a retro console. Let’s get nostalgic about an often maligned system.
Crazy to think the WII is to the Switch 2, as the NES was to the WII back then. 20 Year difference.
My wife asks me to bust it out (heh) everyone once in a while to play bowling and tennis with the kids. There was a ton of slop on it but some good stuff as well.
Wii was great but boy howdy did it cause Microsoft to go on a dark walk with the Kinect and the disastrous XBox One launch that they arguably never recovered from.
Not nostalgic for me.. I was there.. anyone who wasnt a little kid realized it was a gamecube with shit tacked onto it, it was the "joke" system and was well below even the switch in terms of comparing it to the latest machines at the time. The machine was well loved by young people and "casual gamers" who now remember it 20 years on, or in most cases more of its sales came in the 15-20 years ago range not right at launch- but again its not nostalgic for people who were "gamers" then really, just for those who ended up with one in their house, the games , graphics, interface and online features were archaic already in 2006.
All of the Super Smash Bros. games are incredible, but which one stands as the mightiest of them all and has the best modes?
To me smash brows Melee is my all time favorite. I can't tell you how many hours I played that game between friends and family. When I was a kid, my parents couldn't afford a gaming console so I had to go somewhere that had an arcade like setup with the only difference being instead of arcade cabinets, they had big screen crt TV's and gaming consoles setup. I would go with my friends on special occasions after school or with my family on the weekends.
I would meet and make new friends at that place as we were all gamers and we also brought our game boys and would trade pokemon. I don't think those places exist these days but back then, it was easy to meet like-minded people and have fun for hours.
Well, I’ll add my extremely subjective ranking too. I won’t include the 3DS version as I don’t owned it. I did play it for a few minutes though.
5. Brawl.
4. N64 Smash
3. Ultimate
2. Wiiu Smash
1. Melee
Sakurai's views on cutscenes (and how quickly they'll be shared online) haven't really changed that much in 16 years.
why am i not surprised? The media is just getting ridiculous. Any game with a little amount of hype now is guaranteed 10's and 9.5's. Halo, Mario galaxy. Smash bros greatest game ever played. Sure he probably said the same thing about halo. Its all politics now with most of these game sites. I could let Mario galaxy slide because that one was apparently innovative but whats innovative in smash?? what did they add that makes this game deserve a 10 and greatest game the reviewer has ever played???. I honestly could care less if i get a million disagrees i haunt played smash bros and i probably never will but i can say gamerNode has lost all credibility in my eyes. Any site that tosses 10's freely in the air simply cannot earn my respect. I could live with a 9.0 or a 9.5 but a 10. 10 is reserved for those games that come like once every 3yrs shouldn't even be given to sequels in my opinion unless they completely revolutionize themselves sort of how RE4 did and are nothing like their predecessors. I can't wait to see all the 10's that will be handed out to GTA4
this game is 7
so much hype
@princejb134
i give halo3 a 7
because it really was just an expansion pack
they should have call it halo 2.5
Here are my reasons...
- Online betting in matches.
- Level editor (create and send your own levels).
- Online play (Previous versions of smash didn't have this).
- Use any control method you like (GC controller, Wii mote and nunchuck, Wii mote by itself, Classic controller).
- There are some very innovative levels that constantly change as your playing (like picto chat or wario ware level).
All these things I mentioned above were not in the previous versions of smash bros... remember these are my reasons... not everyone will agree, but that doesn't matter because millions of people like this game any way (over 1 million in Japan alone...).
I'm not going to go into a Halo bashing fight though.
This game deserves it. Brawl FTW.
