I'm going to agree with Doom. Brodie doesn't know what he's talking about. Brawl is easily one of the best games on the Wii, especially if you've got people to play with. The online is terrible, but the game itself is just a ton of fun, and for anyone who's grown up playing (Nintendo) games, it's a blast.

I miss Brawl, but getting that Very Hard Boss Battle trophy was stressful.

Honestly, while I'm positive they're out there, I don't see a lot of Brawl hate in my area from the local tourney tards, which is surprising because they seem to hate every new game that comes out for the stupidest reasons. Everybody switched over the day Brawl was released and never looked back. Of course, I like to drop in some Melee from time to time to remember the days when Peach was completely broken/awesome, but Brawl in general is so much better.

*XERO* · 06-22-2009, 03:14 PM

Thanks for the Peach reminder, TMB. I HATED playing against her.

People still play Melee at my school. I personally like Brawl better, though. They took out the competitive BS aspect of the game, and made it a fun party game to play with friends all over again.

Exactly dude.

*XERO* · 06-22-2009, 11:16 PM

I'm always for fun matches, myself.

However, it's ironic, because the first time I ever played Brawl, it was in a tournament. Interesting that I was playing for fun but I STILL had to bring my 'A' game at the same time.

Which ones would that be? Just curious.

From what I understand, Mario Kart Wii actually does the online pretty well.

**ThirdMarioBro** · 06-23-2009, 12:45 AM

Yeah, it does. Its stable, disconnects are rare, and the experience is mostly lag free. I just can't stand to play it anymore because the items are so broken it just ruins the game for me.

~~AquaParade~~ · 06-23-2009, 10:34 PM

I picked up a Wii just a couple nights ago, so I may be hanging around this thread more often now lol.

I bought it with Zelda on the side, and rented Mario Galaxy.
First of all, I couldn't be happier with Mario Galaxy. It's a total nostalgia trip! Feels like Mario 64 and Super Mario Bro's combined to me....well, plus everything else Mario...but those two the most for some reason. I almost died when I saw my first ghost ship...Music and everything. Gonna pick up this game next week for keeps, I'm loving it.

Zelda has been getting my attention too, and although I've never fully beaten a Zelda game, I've been excited to play this one. Seems to get mixed reviews though...What do you guys think? I only recently aquired the classic green tunic, and I heard it starts slow, but I'm definitely enjoying it so far. Does it get better from here on out? What do you guys think?

*XERO* · 06-23-2009, 10:47 PM

I personally enjoyed Twilight Princess, but I'm sure that Peanut and the others will tell you that Wind Waker is much better.

Yeah, the game starts off slow, and you may not be as enthusiastic when playing as Wolf Link.

Those tidbits aside, it does get much better as the game progresses, and the boss battles are top-notch, although a bit on the easy side. All I gotta say is have fun using the Spinner when you reach the Arbiter's Grounds. It's my favorite boss fight, followed by the City in the Sky.

Anything else you want to know about it, just holla.

**ThirdMarioBro** · 06-23-2009, 11:10 PM

Wind Waker is better just in terms of originality (though Phantom Hourglass blows hard), but Twilight Princess is my personal favorite.

But, of course. I mean, any game that forces you to pay attention to the position and shape of the moon to get a Triforce piece has 'originality' splattered all over it.

*Dr. Doom* · 06-24-2009, 08:29 AM

Wind Waker and Twilight Princess are both phenomenal games that everyone should play regardless.

Peanut · 06-24-2009, 10:44 AM

My main issue with Twilight Princess has everything to do with the terribly drawn-out beginning, the stupid Wolf, the lack of new and interesting music, and the dumb ass waggle controls. I feel like I would have enjoyed it more on the Gamecube, but either way, once through was more than enough for me.

I have been a Super Mario and Super Smash Bros fan for years. Does anyone reccomend that I purchase Super Mario Galaxy and Super Smash Bros Brawl?

Galaxy is a ton of fun, and I enjoyed Brawl but only played it a bit. I'm not a huge fan of Smash Brothers. If you are a fan though, then it's a must get.

I can give you everything else (and totally agree on the waggle), but I actually thought the music was some of the best since ALttP. Not better, but still awesome and memorable.

Peanut · 06-24-2009, 11:37 AM

But it was almost all entirely composed of themes we had heard before. I'm not saying the music was bad in the least, but what was there we had heard before. Most of it was pulled directly from OoT. The only music I can remember from it, after having played it to 100% completion, was the terrible music that played in the shadow world, and I only remember that because of how awful it was. It was so bad I muted the TV every time I was there.

*XERO* · 06-24-2009, 03:00 PM

It's too bad that the music in TP was all MIDI instead of orchestrated. That probably would've helped a little.

Well, isn't that what Nintendo do with most of their series anyway? Remix the main themes and add a new one every other sequel?
