Taking a cue from this Kotaku post, I thought this would make for a fun RPM topic. Who are you favorite game announcers? You know, the guys/gals in the background telling you how it is, giving helpful advice, or just giving off such positivity that you can't possibly fail.

Like Power Stone 2, for example. That's my favorite game announcer right there. It's so [tornado fang]ing uplifting and positive, I can do anything! Plus, he's just totally awesome.

So ANNOUNCE your favorites!

Mortal Kombat guy who says, "Whoopsies!" Does that count? Or the Smash Bros. announcer. Because when you fail the target test, the way he says FAILURE really makes it sound like you truly failed. Do those count?

The correct answers from the Nintendo 64 camp are Super Smash Bros. 64 (FREE FOR ALL) & StarFox 64's Narrator (Corneria. Third planet of the Lylat System...).

Announcer guy from SSB64 and SSBM.

Just so awesome.

In no particular order from the games I've played:
-Smash Bros 64 announcer
This one needs no explanation, if you don't recognize its awesome there's something wrong with you, or as he'd say, "Failure".
-Soul series announcer
"Trascending history and the world, a tale of souls and swords eternally retold *insert Soul Edge intro here*," and all his prebattle speeches make him awesome.
-Mortal Kombat series announcer(s)
There's just something awesome about him, the fact an awesome song has been made with the main theme and his voice alone gets him another point, not to mention "Finish him/her!""Fatality."
-Pokemon Stadium announcer
How can you not like someone as excited about his work as he is?

All great choices.

"This victory has strengthened the soul of Swordmaster!"

I like the guy from Guilty Gear... and besides that... I love it when someone selects Olimar in brawl.

OHLAMAHR

SSBM example.
Select Pichu, and then Ness really quickly.

Pi-NESS!

I am ashamed of all the article and some of these posts for not mentioning probably one of the best Engrish announcers ever.

Power Stone's.

That was PB's vote, in the first post.

He said 2. Not 1. 1 was more awesome than 2.

Mirby · **Reply #14 on:** November 18, 2008, 10:05:40 PM

You didn't specifically say 1. You said Power Stone's, which could be interpreted to mean the series, not just the first game.

STM · **Reply #15 on:** November 18, 2008, 10:09:37 PM

If I wanted to say two, I'd have said "Power Stone 2." By saying "Power Stone's", I was saying the first game. Simple linguistics.

Mirby · **Reply #16 on:** November 18, 2008, 10:11:07 PM

I see your point. What I'm saying is that if you were saying what music you liked, Rockman's and Rockman 1's could be the same, or it could be different. Specificity can be your friend.

Pokemon Stadium. Now there's some classic enthusiasm.

Pokemon Battle Revolution... just LOL. It's so obvious that it's just two completely different clips stuck together. GARDEVOIR is hurt by the poison!

Super Monkey Ball. That is one fabulous "Ready... GO~!"
