STAGE:
The Comet Observatory

Would fit Rosalina, and you could use the Teleporters instead of the old Warp Pipes ala Mushroom Kingdom N64.

But which OilMan would he be based on?

...tch...Well, I'd have to assume it'd be the official, MM:PU version.

Just be careful on the new design!

Forte's too SOL; a 100 aura and 1000 HP are nothing for Omega-Xis and EmoBoy.

And now we've (essentially) got TimeMan, here's hoping for OilMan.

Oh, what, you didn't see that coming? Wii Sports Resort was the test-game for Pilotwiings, what with the island and the skydiving and all.

There could be a StarTropics too, though!

Hmm.

I said it was "hard" earlier, though that really wasn't for me. Although I do recall the King Mech and...some part of Dynamo Man's stage being a pain in the tail. Was it the midboss? Can't remember.

BTW, I've only beat the Forest Temple, and I already freed the carpenters, have the Prescription, and got the Lens of Truth.

Megaman 9 and Megaman and Bass are 2 different kinds of 'hard'.

MM9 kills you a lot, but only in short-length stages.
MM&B has LOOOOOOOONG stages and a LOT of sturdy enemies.

Different beasts, and different playstyles will handle the 2 challenges differently.

MM&B as Bass > MM9 > MM&B as Megaman
Easiest to hardest.

Double jump? Check.
Dash? Check.
Flying? Check.
Directional rapid-buster? Check.
...game's a piece of cake? Check.

I'm keeping my eye on the Homebrew scene, now. I'm tired of having 4:3 only, no online play, no lightgun games, this is just ridiculous.

And they're wondering WHY the VC doesn't do as well? WELL GEEEEEEE, let's think about it for a sec!

Ah, see, those were the "early days" in the careers of these characters (i.e. Mario, Link, Pikachu, etc.) And like any celebrity, you start out with heavy-to-absolutely ludicrous marketing, or, "whoring yourself out."

Then, like any celebrity, you hit your high-point. For these guys, that was the SNES to N64 when SMW, SM64, and OoT completely stormed the world. And that's when you have this kind of property protection and high-maintenance.

Because if you don't, you hit the next stage of stardom, which is decline. Trying to regain your stardom at this point is like a Ponzi Scheme; it will eventually fail. This stage is categorized by even more whoring out. For Hollywood, it's game show appearances and cameos. For videogames, it's commercial advertisements (Guitar Hero) or spinoff games (Sega Tennis Superstars and SONIC and Sega All-Stars Racing).

Which is why many people were forecasting doom for Nintendo. And, depending upon their care of their IPs, it just might still happen. As excited as I am for the new slew of AAA games, public interest still does not have anywhere NEAR the fervor it should have. Granted, if there's too much, it will cheapen and mainstream the experience, and if there's too little, it becomes cultish and unprofitable (I fear Mega Man is headed down that path...).

How has Nintendo managed to keep this balance? Actually, don't give them all the credit; the fans have done most of that job for them.

Mario Kart Wii.

I finally got Dry Bowser, but Mirror Mode is a COMPLETE [sonic slicer]. And by finally, I mean it's been a mix of Blue Shells and Lightning Bolts messing up my **'s and ***'s as well as a whole other slew of worthwhile games and a real love of the Battle Mode.

I'm almost 85% certain that Ganon/dorf is in this one. After all, Link's destiny (typically with the Master Sword) is to defeat Ganon, and it has to start somewhere.

But, there may be an off-chance that it could be some even GREATER evil that rivals the Master Sword and inspired Ganondorf.

Ladies and gentlemen, I have made the HD jump! I'm posting from my PS3 on my latest buy:

LN52B550

A Samsung 52'' LCD TV! IT'S FRIGGIN' HUGE! Needless to say, splitscreen multiplayer problems are a thing of the past, and now Rainbow Road is a [hard knuckle]ing experience!

NOTE: It was a Best Buy 'display' TV, and as such, it was advantageously marked down!
