I will say, though, you've got Valkyrie Bow. Those boost INT, if nothing else, and they're the closest I could possibly get to staves in the price range they're usually in.


Not by a whole lot, though.
Even if it's not a staff, it shouldn't be that impossible to come up with a weapon in the "shitty mage weapon" class for Valkyries.

MMORPGs are nothing but gigantic level grinders.

It still amazes me how many people play them. It's just grindinggrindinggrindinggrindinggrindinggrinding.



Fixed it for you.

Liked epiosde 2 far better than the first, so I guess I'll continue watching.

Please tell me those two annoying kids aren't going to play a huge role in the series.

it amazes me there's been no AMMORPG, an action RPG game in online form.


Graal. Which was actually kinda fun. And not grinding-based, which was probably the reason.

Sonic Adventure 2: Battle: Now.. I bet I'm going to get some weird glances for this one. If you've ever played Sonic Adventure 1, and then this back-to-back, you'd realize how much of an improvement that this game is. Everything runs smoother, and camera is actually... A bit better. (Not hard, but..) and it flows nicely. The story didn't seem as gripping (?!) as the first Sonic Adventure, Robotnik/Tails were terrible replacements for E-102, and it had some other problems, but I found this game as a whole, very enjoyable... It is the last 3D Sonic game that I've enjoyed, actually.



Totally agree, and I never understood the people who rate the original higher.

Let's see:
The removal of stupid overworld that never told you where to go? Check
The removal of retarded fishing levels everyone hated? Check
Improving the shooting levels a hundredfold? Check
Improving the treasure hunting levels a lot as well? Check
Improving Sonic's running levels, while removing Tails' dull and easy variant and Amy's slow variant (Sonic games aren't supposed to be slow!)? Check

Why the complaining? They improved the stuff that worked, and nixed the stuff that sucked, making the sequel a far far better game.


On the subject of Sonic, Sonic Labyrinth gets a lot of hate as well. Sure, besides the use of it's characters, it has barely anything to do with Sonic, and it's not really that great a game in the first place, but labelling it one of the worst Sonic games of all time, or even going as far as calling it one of the worst games of all time? No. It's a completely decent game as long as you ignore the fact that there's very little Sonic about it.

What, you mean Dale and whatshername?



Forgot their names, but the boy is the one whose mother got nuked in Atlanta, and the girl is... that girl whose house he stays at in episode 2.
Semi-major, eh? Eh, I'll survive. I hope.

Now I see why I hated R-Type.

I always died of usually the same thing. After a Game Over or two, I finally get past the obstacle(s), just to get killed again.

But the music's good.


Heh, you're going to love Gradius. While not as evil level design wise as R-Type, it has a "if you die, you might as well reset, since you lose all power-ups upon death, and it takes a couple stages to get them all back - and without powerups, you're not going to survive those stages" gameplay concept which is sure to annoy (plus, you can't recharge shields, just replace them - a shield takes 4 hits before it breaks, and the next hit will do you in, but you're not allowed to get a fully powered shield until you've been hit those four times. Amazing fun when you got bullets coming from all directions, and you have to hit the B button right after losing your shield if you hope to survive). I have beaten the thing, but that was a no-death run.

In R-Type, you can often just keep trying the same level over and over until you get your game over, in Gradius, one mistake will end the game for you right there and then.

R-Type had the Force, which acted like a shield.

And hm, I have to admit to only having played the original Gradius (but hey, I did beat it, in spite of the no-recharging crap). Should try some of the sequels some day.

The question is, does it actually help, or does it just cause more accidents due to people's attention being elsewhere? I'll go for the latter.

Not that I'd say no if they were going to implement the system here, though

Not safe for work

This music doesn't really prove anything other than "there will be a somewhat dangerous Metroid stage in the game". This theme would fit the Kraid level from Melee fairly well.

Given that the stage is obviously modelled after that castle, I say that's what they were going for.

Woo! Samus finally! THese are the first shots of her in action right? Before this, it's always been of her in Zero Suit form.



Not exactly shots, but the very first Brawl trailer had armored Samus fighting for a while until her armor broke off and we were presented with our first glimpse of Zero Suit Samus.

I was just wondering... Do you think that Nintendo will be removing any characters from the Roster? I mean its highly unlikely but if you think about it, its possible.


It's very likely. Neither Roy, Pichu or Dr. Mario added a whole lot to the game (and Roy isn't a particulary important character either, he was only in Melee to advertise the upcoming Fire Emblem 6). Ganondorf will most likely get a complete overhaul, being replaced with a more current incarnation of the character, and given an original moveset.

And I agree that the Fire Emblem characters are a bit touchy.. Though I would hope at the least that they'd get replaced with someone more interesting from the series if nothing else.


Marth was the original Fire Emblem hero, and the only one to star in more than one game (FE1 and FE3), he's certainly significant and interesting enough. He's staying, it's Roy who should be worried about his place in the game.

And yeah, forgot about Young Link. Yeah, he's certainly not going to be in the game. The OoT era has long since passed. Zelda's Sheik form will have to go as well.

Make sure to check out the rest of the abridged series as well. Truly excellent stuff.
There's also a Naruto variant (the author had them removed by Youtube, but others have uploaded them as well, so just do a quick search for "naruto the abridged series"), which, while not as good, is still worth a look.

I have doubts, mainly because since Melee, FE games have been released in America, and they might want to go with someone from a game everyone has.


More people own Melee than any given FE game, I believe.
Seriously, there's no point in kicking out Marth and adding Eliwood just because he's in a game that was released in the US. Them going with Fire Emblem characters in the first place is testament to that (plus, no one in Europe had a clue who the hell Ness was before SSB was released either, and you don't see us complaining about how he should be left out of the series)
