About
Hi there!

From my header, it is easy to tell that Mario games, Assassins Creed and Dragon Quest 8 are amongst my favourite games, I do prefer games with fantastic stories or fantastic game play. Both together are preferable, yet rare.

It was probably unnecessary for me to reserve Brawl, but the thought of not attaining it this Saturday makes me sick, so I've insured my health. Funny how far the Wii has come already, and when looking back on other Nintendo consoles. Every time a new Mario or Zelda game comes out, it reminds me of my childhood and of gamings past. Perhaps this is unhealthy, but one of my fondest memories is of the times me and my friends rented the first Super Smash Bros. We played non-stop and it was just fantastic. To this day I still play Melee, and we played that forever too. Its wonderful to see the favourite characters triumphant return, as well as the new faces (to the Smash series at least).



I know I've griped about the Wii, but in all honesty Nintendo themselves have managed to keep things good (3rd party developers need to be spanked). With the Wii I've had more control of the games I get and have managed to secure a copy of all of Nintendo's big titles upon release (Metroid Prime 3, Super Paper Mario, Zelda Twilight, although got Mario Galaxy at Christmas...) and it just goes to show to me, how Nintendo never will get old.

All that being said, the slogan in the commercials for Brawl worry me, "the brawl to end all", does this mean this is the last Brawl, or is it just a slogan for the sake of rhyming? I just ponder is all.

Of course all this positive talk must be mirrored by the fact that for the past three months I've been playing my PS3 non-stop. Good news is, all my PS3 games are beaten, and I've played COD4 online a lot, so I'm ready for a new game, and luckily (thankfully) Brawl is finally being released.

Finally is an under statement however, its delays have broken many of my internal organs numerous times.

What rocks even more, is I've completed all my assignments for school, finished all tests (with As, to bribe my parents) and March Break is coming right up with the release of Brawl. Its almost as if, Nintendo planned its release to my schedule. Either way, its kind of odd how I give thanks for a video game, but really they're that good, and I'm more than happy to fork over fifty-six bucks for it.

Thanks for reading, I know its just some mushy thoughts of mine and Super Smash Bros, but thats what blogs are for. When your bored and have nothing better to do, plus as gamers we don't read much. Later.

Wow. This was a nice little read actually. Too bad more people won't read it due to the Brawl in the title.
I will give it a rent, sometime in the future I have given no love to past brawls.
I clicked this link simply because it said "Brawl". True story.
I won't read it cause it says "brawl" in the title. Oh snap. Twas a good read I love it when a plan comes together like that :)!
Nice read. I'm bursting with anticipation, too.
I'm probably going to try and reserve it only minutes before the store closes to set up for the midnight release.
I'm playing my first hours of Brawl with wine, cheese, sausage, peel n' eat shrimp, and low-level lighting. 2 something years of antici-


























-pation requires fanciness.
I reserved it many months ago.
SO CLOSE.
I'm going on a road trip this weekend, so I'm gonna play the rebel role and hope I can catch it early Sunday morning.

That was freaking awesome.

Also, yes, very good read. I've been a bit worried about the Wii myself lately, but the first-party games always seem to come through.
Indeed, we've all had our doubts, and then been reassured by Nintendo themselves.

Good to see the fans appreciate Brawl, and good punctuation! Or spelling? I'm not sure what I do right when writing...
