    I'm not gonna get it! i dont have a wii :'(.....

    Well, this new Mario Kart doesn't come out till later next year 2008. So, by then, you'll probably get one. I've heard the stock-shortage is finally ending... at least, until Christmas rolls around, I suppose. :O

    Nice morning over here. Just up to check out the forums, see any new monsters for G:U, and do my daily morning ritu--- I mean, check the Smash Bros. site for anything new. Heh..hehe. :umm:

    I suppose it's for the best, right?
    Well, take care over there, and take all the time you need... No need for rushing. We'll be missing you. And, of course, if you ever return, we'll be here to welcome you back, no matter when that is. :)

    Sorry for the double post. Going away for a few days or a week. dunno. need to think about s*** because I'm just getting pissed off again.

    Muigi is in charge. Twistkill is 2nd in charge. And Steelia is 3rd in.

    Take care of yourself, year?
    Don't worry, we've got the place monitored. You go ahead and enjoy yourself some. :)

    I heard that Diddy Kong (along with others, one being Ridley) was originally supposed to be in Melee, but was scrapped due to time restrictions... similar how to Snake was proposed, but unable to meet the set time. Now we see Snake in Brawl. That gives us some hope.

    Many hope to see a Diddy and Dixie combo, like how the Ice Climbers work. Mmm, I suppose it COULD work... it would save up one extra character slot. If Diddy isn't playable (nor Dixie), they'll definately be Assist Trophies, no doubt.
    I'm hoping to see King K. Rool. He's like Bowser, so... eheh.

    TODAY'S UPDATE: Combo. Includes a movie, and Veteran character.

    MOVIE: 15 second movie we saw from E3.

    CHARACTER: DONKEY KONG


    DK is back, and is bringing along his famous iron fist from Melee and the original!

    Talk about detail. These guys don't disappoint!


    Kong has moved on from Pauline, to Zelda!

    Discussion?

    A Fan... I suppose Super Smash Bros. Melee. In all honesty, before Smash I always thought the Zelda series was very overrated (like Final Fantasy, during those days). So, I took it upon myself to read this book, instead of judge it.

    One day at a thrift shop, I came across a used Wind Waker (with the bonus disc of Ocarina of Time), and since then I've been hooked. (I've played the original Legend of Zelda, and the sequel, but haven't gone very far. :P )

    I should really be thanking my siblings, because if it weren't for them always playing Ocarina of Time/Wind Waker day in and day out after I bought it, I wouldn't have been dragged along for the ride.

    I MIGHT buy it... just because it's a sequel to my favorite Zelda game, Wind Waker, and because I'm needing a bigger library of Nintendo DS games. All I have are Pokemon Ranger, a Nintendogs game that came with the DS (eBay), and Pokemon Diamond. I'm still eyeing Partners in Time (M&L), but haven't gotten around to getting it.

    I just might get this game, just because of that steering wheel. XD

    Seriously, that extra attachment could really help out younger audiences when it comes to driving... and plus, you'll be moving (your arms) instead of sitting around on the couch with a control, twiddling it around with your thumbs.

    Looks pretty good. Wonder who's going to be in it? King Boo was always my favorite from Double Dash!!.

    Quote from Twistkill


    1) That isn't really a rant.

    2) No, you can't buy a computer with better graphics, you can buy a computer that can handle games with better graphics than the PS3. Of course you can. Only if you're willing to shell out approximately $1,200. That's how advanced it would have to be to compare.

    Also, that laptop wouldn't have a Blu-ray player, which is another $1000. (Now, of course, it's actually a computer, so it is capable of executing software on a hard drive and etc. but we're comparing consoles here, not computers.)

    The price is actually absolutely amazing for what you're getting, it's just that people often overlook what features it has, including you.

    I see what you mean.
    I was just making unresearched, biased opinions about the PS3. The point was that I haven't really liked it to begin with, and seeing how most people are always talking about it that "it's so great" when it comes to graphics (that I believe), but what's the point if there's not any good gameplay?

    I'm sure there are a few good games for the PS3... but I never grew up with it, unlike Nintendo/SNES. Probably why I'm not so fond of it, like the Xbox (I have an Xbox, no 360 -- nothing good for it catches my attention).

    ...Akira turned, a bit nervous from meeting one as tall and muscular as him.

    (He reminds me of that tall, pushy, bulky kid I had class with in college once. Ugh. Such fond memories.) Akira shuddered. (Well, at least this guy will be more competition than that guy.)

    Before he knew it, Akira was swimming his way upstream... through the numerous crowd fighters. He could see the demon-like one struggling through the crowd, hissing at those who keep bumping him.
    (Guess I don't blame the guy,) Akira thought as another man shoved his shoulder into Akira's cheek, yelling "Watch it!" (Got some restless competition...)
    There was a rush of wind, and a blinding gust of sand. Coughing, Akira opened his eyes to see the cloaked man -- the one he had run into earlier this morning -- sailing over the other fighters towards the arena.
    Akira snorted. (Not a bad idea, but in a crowd?? That's a bit much.... Something tells me he's going to get some complaints after this... Jeez, it's times like this when I wish I had my angel or demon forms so I could fly over such traffic jams!)
    Another man pushed his way in front of Akira, stepping on his feet. (Eya! These people have no courtesy!?)

    As he was stuck in the middle of so many people (with hardly any movement at all, with officials up front trying to organize the dozens, maybe even hundreds, of fighters), Akira took a quick glance at the clock.

    (5:54am, with 53... 54... 55 seconds... Time sure is moving slowly here.)
    The picture of a mansion flashed in his mind. How he wished he was back there again. His home...
    With sweat covering his body, and the snorting, yelling, and shoving of the others not helping the situation, Akira could feel his body beginning to grow tense in anguish and anger. So many pushy people. They all had the same destination -- why couldn't they all just get along? The power in Akira's stomach began to rise, and he could feel the hair on the back of his neck stand up.
    No. Now was not the time to get angry, let alone show what strength he possessed. Thinking of his wife and many friends back in Tokyo, Akira calmed and continued to flow with the crowd.

    That is, until...
    "Akira! Tanaka! HEY! AKEEEERA!!"
    A familiar voice pierced the air, and Akira's eyes twitched. Who was that?
    "Over here, stupid! Hey! Woah, don't push me!"
    That voice... It couldn't have been...?
    "Hey, quite pushing me! AKE-E-E-E-EEERAAHHH!!"
    There were some rude comments from the others as the voice continued yelling. Searching all over, Akira's vision was somewhat blocked by a majority of the taller fighters... but what he was seeking was in plain sight, standing on the sidelines of the flowing stream of people. And after a few more moments of tense searching, he saw her.
    It wasn't his wife, but it was someone else he loved deeply, a friend of his that has been by his side so long as he can remember. Surprisingly, she was not with any company.
    "WHAT!!??" Akira screamed back. He couldn't believe his eyes. What was she doing here?? She had always been the mischievous type, but to go out days into the middle of nowhere? That was something.

    After going through plenty of resistance, Akira managed to pull himself out of the river of fighters and on to the sidelines. And it was there he was met by a playful punch on the chest, and a sudden embrace.
    "Akira! I'm so happy to see you! Whew, you smell! You know I don't appreciate smelly guys, hehehe."
    The woman pulled away, revealing a red-haired beauty with a cute face. Her hair was tied with a small blue bow in a ponytail, while two spare strands flowed down to her shoulders in front of her ears. She wore a brown vest, and a plain white shirt beneath. She also had on a tomboy-like skirt, matching the vest. It was more like (very) short shorts than a skirt. Her sneakers tapped the ground impatiently, her baseball-lengthened socks reaching up to her knees. Akira gazed back into her fiery red eyes, and she smiled joyfully.
    "Well, hello to you too, Misao," Akira remarked, pulling a small towel from his pocket and dabbing his forehead.
    The redhead, Misao, beamed. "Since I can finally drive, Mikae allowed me to use her car here!"
    Akira quickly put on a look of surprise, and stuffed the rag back into his pocket. "The mistress let you ride her car??"
    Misao laughed. "Yeah. It wasn't easy, but she allowed me to. She gave me directions on how to find you, and also gave me some money for gas and food."
    Money. Did Mikae know of the type of currency that was used in this city?
    "I brought you a waterbottle. Here." Holding out a hand, Misao revealed an unopened plastic bottle of crystal-clear water. Hastily taking it, Akira popped open the cap without twisting and gulped down the water. He hadn't noticed it, but he was parched.
    Wiping his face, Misao chuckled. "You must have been really thirsty."
    "Ah... Yes, I suppose I was. I didn't notice it before, I was so busy with the tournament and all... Speaking of which, Misao, where are you going to watch?"
    Misao pointed behind Akira, towards the Arena. "They have a special row to watch if you're friends or family of any fighters."
    "Hmm, okay. Well, I guess I'll be seeing you. I have to get back in line!... somehow."
    Misao gave Akira a giant, bone crushing hug. "Do your best! I'll be cheering for you!"
    "Thanks, Misao." (I really needed the encouragement,) Akira thought, smiling.
    Plowing his way through the fighters, he reentered the stream, his soul replenished and his fighting spirit revived. Now he had a reason to fight.

    I've personally never liked the PS line to begin with. The graphics sucked in the first few generations (compare to Xbox and GCN), and they ONLY had 2 players. Come on, now! I don't want to buy an attachment just to have 4 players! 2 player was... ehem... SOOO Super Nintendo. :P
    As for the price, why couldn't they be more reasonable?? I could buy a laptop or computer with better graphics (and better games) than this.

    This is the forum I'm probably most active in now... I go to Atari's forums occassionally, but never post. And my forums, but there's no one there except one, sometimes two, people. XP

    Great forum, by the way. It's doing very well... Quiet at the moment. Probably best time to be active before any future chaos ensues. Eheh.

    So, another VGDC member, eh? Welcome to the forums. (This is BG2.0 from there, Giga from Celestial Studios.)
    Hope you enjoy it here. Problems, of course just PM mods or admin. :)

    Sorry for being absent while on patrol -- had some personal things to attend to. Sheesh, I leave a day and stuff comes up. It WOULD happen. >>

    Anywho, welcome to the forum. Hope you enjoy your time here. :)
