Looks awesome. Looks really, really awesome. Mostly because I believed that the co-op levels were textured by laziness. These screenshots prove otherwise.

We believe that this Sonic game is as good as or even better than the 2D Sonic games.

Oh Izuka. You're like the Peter Molineux of Sonic Team.

Nope. I hate limiting games as a standard of higher difficulty. If the difficulty's bigger, the enemies should be more intelligent.

I'm finding it ridiculously easy, aside from the bosses.

Hardest one for me was the DS title, but it was more because your character was unbelievably weak, with extremely limited gameplay.

You poor Superbat!

And aversion to monkeys? Monkey are awesome!

I know, but she somehow doesn't like them. Oh well, I'll just show her how fun the game is and stuff. I just wish I had more local dudery to co-op with. I [tornado fang]ing LOVE co-op games, but I never get to do anything like it.

Honestly, I don't have alot of game-interested friends, and the guy who usually comes over is a Sony fanboy with no respect for any non-Playstation consoles. So if this ends up not being online, I'll have to beg my girlfriend for her to play this with me when she's over on weekends, and she probably won't, due to her weird aversion to monkeys in general.

Yes, my english is broken, i know why people complain about grammar but who cares? Even some Youtube & Gamefaqs user don't care about grammar either, how on earth people to make sure their grammar is perfect? I suggest go to Animesuki site, they are worst grammar either but it turn out become truth while someone never good in english in any manga/game/anime rumor or hint.

Call me an idiot whatever you want, but i don't want fight here.

Funny you should mention Youtube and Gamefaqs. They are considered the cesspools of the internet, the very worst place in terms of comments, posts and replies.

This is why I was such a huge fan of the Ultimate universe, because at least if they were gonna go back to basics, they made a different universe for it. All three original Ultimate titles, Ultimate Spider-Man, Ultimate X-Men, and The Ultimates, were excellent series, in my opinion. Granted, Marvel eventually ruined a couple of them (despite my issues with Ultimate Spidey, I still thought it was good).

Otherwise, I agree with everything you said about DC and the characters. Hell you could've gone further. Luthor's evolving, secondary characters like Ganthet & Mera are even gaining new life, purpose, and character, and the new characters they've created like Larfleeze & Atrocitus all have their own unique character (Quickie told me that Larfleeze is getting his own X-mas special).

It's why I easily think that DC is better than Marvel at this point, and I'm not saying Marvel is all you. You and others have told me that Cosmic Marvel is [tornado fang]ing genius, and I personally think Ed Brubaker is a fantastic writer.

DC IS better than Marvel. Leagues better.

But honestly? And this is HURTING ME LIKE ALL HELL to say. Seriously, it's causing me gigantic pain.

Cosmic Marvel, at least Annihilation, that one single event... is better than the usual, run-of-the-mill DC stuff. It's basically one of the best events I've ever seen, if not the best (along with stuff like Final Crisis and Sinestro Corps War) and it's absolutely AMAZING. Every single comic of the main event is a pure delight, and Nova is SUCH AN AWESOME CHARACTER when he goes solo with the Nova Force. From there, the characters evolve, and it pretty much is at DC standards, all of the events that go from there. But Annihilation is just... monstrous. Amazing. Incredible. Fantastic. It is epic in standards of epic which you have never, ever seen before.



Oh, and this is pretty excellent too. =P

And again, my point is simply that NSMBWii can very easily be played like a team just like other co-op games, but it completely depends on how you play and who you play it with.

The online thing is really gonna hurt when Donkey Kong Country Returns comes out.

Oooooooh, my favorites! The portuguese restaurant "Castelo Branco" has a fine selection of wines, and a specially exquisite lobster. You're buying, of course.

*nods* I tend to try to be a level headed person. I wasn't years ago, it still comes out when I'm too stressed out... but it's the eff'n internet. We come here to blow our horns and make asses of ourselves, more often than not. Besides that, I do enjoy the challenge. I haven't posted this much in... well, since RPM blew up a year and some change ago.

I consider myself an Omni-Gamer. I play all sorts of different kinds of games and enjoy them to varying degrees. I enjoy them for what they are. I do [sonic slicer] and complain about some things though, I'm human. I have moments of fear and weakness. (I sometimes fear that JRPGs will fade out... I know it won't but I do.) But I digress, Xehanort actually is significantly more interesting than "Ansem, Ruler of Darkness" and Emo Baby Xemnas. Granted, I like the final battle against Xemnas better than the other Xehanort-esque guy battles.

Don't worry. Everyone has their times. And about the JRPG thing, even if they do dissapear, Dragon Quest will never change, and there will always be one or another game in the market, constantly appearing. Point and click games refuse to die, for example! Same with sidescrollers. It'll be okay.

And yep. Nimoy gives him a good quality level, although he's too Palpatine-ish. =P

But like you said, that has everything to do with the writing and handling of the character. Wally is allowed to gain maturity. Wally is allowed to have a wife. Wally is allowed to have children. And before Flash: Rebirth, Wally's kids were handled pretty terrible, and thanks to the Geoffenious, they were improved upon! What's truly sad is that Peter is NOT allowed to have these things anymore. I think him having a kid with MJ would be the best thing that could happen to the character of Peter Parker, as it would once again bring home the idea of Peter Parker's responsibility. I never read much of it, but from my understanding, everyone LOVED the character of May-Day Parker in the Spider-Girl comic series. Quesada goes out of his way to show that she'll never exist. Ever. Not as long as he's in charge.

Hell, all you're really stating is that the writers of The Flash are much better than the writers of Spider-Man, and I couldn't agree with you more.

Exactly. Talking about the natural evolution of a character, and how it's handled. In Marvel, few characters are being allowed an actual evolution (Steve Rogers looks like a 20-year old in his recent comics). In DC, pretty much everyone is maturing lately, and their personalities are changing. Batman's being given a whole new perspective in life, Superman's gained and lost his culture all over again, and he's reconnecting with the world, Hal Jordan's trying to find out what love means, Guy Gardner's no longer just an [dark hold], but he's a respectable commander of amazing forces, along with Kyle who finally lost all of his insecurities and is a veteran with a stable romance, Ollie is trying to find himself again, in his origins, Barry's back and trying to keep up with the world as best as he can, Diana's trying to undo stuff in her own origin, and taking on a new street-level style to do it... heck, even villains like Sinestro are evolving and redeeming themselves!

Meanwhile, it's back to Deadpool being violently funny in his hundreds of weekly titles, and Wolverine bubbing snikts and snikting bubs.

Won't quote because it clutters up the post in my typy-typy box. You'll make the connections.

There are tons of current depictions of them. But there are games made for either one of them or both, and they are acknowledged by gaming companies as two separate audiences they must reach. That makes them valid in all of our eyes.

New Super Mario Bros Wii sold more than Galaxy, because it's SUPER MARIO BROS. That alone should give it one of the biggest boosts it needs.

And yes, although gaming classes do exist, they're more of a usual standard than a norm. I enjoy pretty much all genres equally (while I do dispise dating sims) and I can actually be quite casual when I want to.


Co-op games should have a point to them. You should be able to play them as comfortably in single player as in multiplayer. (heck, moreso in co-op). This doesn't happen here. Thus, I find the experience poor.

Funny how this PB thing relates to the tribal cultures of old. See, when someone is admired, others thought they could gain the essence of that someone in order to become like that. I guess that's why everyone's always so anxious to suck his cock.

Mario games are intuitive, but that doesn't mean they can simply be played by anyone without difficulty whatsoever with enough time. It's all based on interests. Many people find it boring to go along a 2D plane jumping on stuff, unlike us. Other people just find something simple like that confusing, but have no problem memorizing tons of overcomplicated stuff. It's always different for different people. That's why I'm saying they should at least make the game less frustrating on that regard.

----------------------
Anyway, for PB's reply...

Nuh-uh, you don't get to call me that until dinner and a movie. =P

Yep, played that gem in the arcade. (My favorite TMNT game is actually that third GB one, that featured a Metroidvania-like zone. Not part of the discussion of course, but I always mention the game when I want to make people aware of it =P) And of course you got screwed by that guy. Because he didn't play as a team. The point of co-op games is to play as a team all the way. Try to play a game like Left 4 Dead by yourself, and you're DEAD. That's the whole fun of co-op gaming. Progressing as a team. In NSMBW, all you do is pretty much [tornado fang] others up, whether you want it or not.

Agree with the online play. So many co-op games nowadays lack an online mode, it's frustrating. I wanna plays with all you guyses!

Well, first before I comment on what you said, I'll comment for Alma; mostly because she's currently in the middle of a battle on Critical Mode, fighting the crazy Three Part Unversed thing. She did see my visual frustration, and has seen the frustration you've caused me (and others) before. I can understand how she feels. But honestly, I've reached the epitome of "don't care, opinions are opinions" frankly. I've also reached a level of understanding that not everyone (or most in general really) can comprehend me or agree with me on the same level. No fault to them or me really. Just how these things go.

That said... I'll get to the meat of this reply. Which probably won't be that long honestly. Anyways, I reiterate because I didn't quite mean "you" when I said "you new bloods". As for the rest, well... that's why I tend to be neutral on a lot of things. Everything is a necessary force in the evolution of gaming. While yes, I do feel very disdained by a lot of what is the "popular thing" now, I accept it in as much stride as I can. Yes, I [sonic slicer], who doesn't? It's a forum. Outside of such circles, I generally seem neutral. You'd just as soon see me playing Call of Duty 4 or Battlefield 2142, shooting up some n00bs and one-manning it to a Titan to blow it up. Well... before the servers died.

My deal is, as long as what I value in gaming still exists. Is still appreciated... I will be satisfied.

Hey, already said before. I cause frustration and madness without breaking any rules, and without the need to hurt anyone directly. It's all in good fun and games. People need to be riled up. It's one of life's greatest things. It's why I've liked you here. You don't tend to go mad easily. =P Makes me happy that people can be civil to each other without being a bunch of pussies.

And that's EXACTLY what I consider myself to be. Although I have my favorites, I'll play ANY sort of game, as long as it's fun and I'm in the mood. I just really dislike it when people start criticizing a genre, simply because they find it strange, or threatning to their way of gaming. =P Or worse, POPULAR!

But Parker pushed through all the whining, the misery of the reality of his life, and kept going with being Spider-Man because he knew he had a responsibility. That's the beauty of the character. Life shat on him, both as Parker & Spider-Man, and he kept pushing through, as both Parker & Spider-Man because of the lessons he learned, and in the end he got the girl. He was rewarded with something good. Sure, his life was still all not that great, but he still had someone that loved him & visa versa. This destroyed all of that and brought him even further back to the whinyness than even the last 5-6 years of awful Spidey writing did.

Also, Wally West can really not be compared to Peter Parker. They are two completely different characters. Wally West started off as a hero at a young age, even younger that Parker. He had a mentor to fully teach him how to use his powers and to set an example. He had other teenage costumed heroes he hung out with and they grew into their own family. And after Barry's death, Wally properly assumed the mantle of the Flash and builds a life for himself. Yes, there are some story comparisons. Like Linkara pointed out, there was an event with Wally in which Neron does indeed steal Wally's love & marriage, and it's done so much better than OMD. Of course, as brilliantly written and reinforced by Geoff Johns, a writer who uses the past to reinforce his version, Wally's love for Linda is his lightning rod, his way home, so that whole thing has more importance than OMD. But Wally never suffered as much as Peter did. Ever. Especially early on in his crime-fighting career.

Now, do I think Wally West is a better character than Peter Parker? Yes, I do. But I think it stems more from the fact that he's been handled sooooooooooooooooo much better as a character than Peter Parker by the writers.  If anything, it's why The Spectacular Spider-Man is, IMO, the best version of Spider-Man I've ever seen, if you want to compare Peter Parker characters.

I was pretty much just comparing for the sake of similar situations. Wally had a dead mentor, had to control absolute CHAOS in his city, constant tragedy happened to him, and he handled alot of stuff by himself. Both his wife and children were taken from him multiple times, and they even made him forget about her in the middle of their own wedding! But he always went through in his own way, and always succeeded, never giving up, never going down even a little bit. That's what I like about him. Wally did what Peter could not. Because of the way he was written and the way he became. He gained maturity. A wife. Children. Respect by the people of the city and of the world. While Peter has a life of endless [parasitic bomb] to look forward to.

I was alright with most of the stuff in Other M to some degree, but one scene in particular crossed the line for me.

(click to show/hide)

That scene, as most people would agree to some extent, would be the Ridley scene. That was just too much. I understand why she'd react that way, if this was the original Metroid. By this point in time in the timeline though, she's killed him at least twice (four times if you count the Prime games, which is up in the air for Nintendo it seems). I'm sorry, but she would have had that freak-out much earlier than this, and I felt this was a little detrimental to her. Death of the baby metroid be damned.

Hey, you didn't respond to me! For shaaaame.   

Already proved this wrong in my previous post. I'm awesome.
 

Also proved this wrong with my description of certain situations. But for the sake of my awesomeness... If one person is lower in lives, which can be considered a power-up, you can let the other player or players or playas get one of the many, MANY 1-Up Shrooms that pop up. If one player is limp and small, you let them get the half way flag to give them a taste of cocklicious rising Mango! Having one guy have the power of Fire and another the power of Ice is incredibly helpful and does make it easier especially on certain levels where lots and lots of baddies are falling on your floating raft from above.

The game isn't easier with just single player. It's just an easy game as a whole, cause it's [tornado fang]ing Super Mario Bros.

Wait, lemme read that again...

I REALLY hope you're not referring to JUST this game and excluding all 2D Mario games, because there's NEVER a need to kill enemies in 2D Mario games unless they're in your way. I mean, Raccoon Mario, Cape Mario, Blue Yo oh Oh OH YEAH! I WANT TO GET AWAY. I WANNA FLLLLYYYYYY AWAAAAAAAAAAY! YEAAHH YEAAHH YEEEEAAAAHHHHH! 

But otherwise, I think I covered pretty much everything else, in my sexcellent fashion!

I was going to later. Just tended to other posts for the moment.

You quoted alot of situations which just don't really cope with regular co-op gameplay. I'm sure there are just for the hell of it, but I don't remember one single game in which co-op play makes it naturally harder instead of easier. I'm not saying I didn't like the game, I had some fun with it. I just found the bump mechanics to really not aid on the usual co-op gameplay the game is aiming for. The whole thing seems much more competitive than cooperative. Most people, and reviews, say so. And the game might be easy for you, but it's not easy for alot of people. Different standards for different people. People who might want to play this game and find that the hindering capabilities of the bump mechanic are annoying as [tornado fang]. Heck, I think it was the Penny Arcade dudes who said "Play this game with someone if you want to hate eachother".

YES, I am referring to all of the Mario games in general. Games which don't usually flaunt their co-op mechanic, might I add. >___> That's why I was making the point.
