Luigi's Mansion was an awesome game and the Wii was practically made for a sequel. So where the hell is it, Nintendo?

My thoughts exactly. Mansion was a great game, just way too short and easy. If only it hadn't been a launch title, then maybe it would have really taken off more. I hope Nintendo makes a sequel on Wii eventually because, like you said, it was made for it.

I've preferred Luigi to Mario for as long as I can remember, he's definitely a much more interesting and loveable character. I think having him playable in Galaxy was a big step in the right direction.

[ThirdMarioBro]

And having him take center stage in the greatest fighter ever is even better.

You can't really say any one of the 35 (or 39, counting Sheik, ZSS and all 3 Pokémon separately) different characters is "center stage", can you?

Sure you can. Smash Bros has always been a Luigi game. All the other characters are just supporting cast members.

However, now that Sonic's in the game Luigi must share the spotlight.

Sonic = tool

[ThirdMarioBro]

Sonic really is a punching bag here. I love the guy, but that's why we all wanted him in Smash--the fuel that 16-bit child in all of us.

[Dr. Doom]

I know plenty of people who are looking to have Sonic teach Mario a lesson. I don't really see it as so black and white. I just think it's awesome having them both in the game and I'm really excited about how Sonic will play, because I think that I'll enjoy using him.

OK, speak for yourself. I'm gonna play as Sonic because I like him. His games haven't been great lately, but I still think Sonic is a great character.

[Dr. Doom]

Amen.

On a separate note, I just noticed that both Kirby and Star Fox only have 1 new stage each representing their franchises. I guess I find that a little disappointing (mostly for Kirby, since The Halberd is really Meta Knight's stage).

Which is even more disappointing when you consider that Kirby has two new characters, and Star Fox has one, but at the very least Kirby gets back Green Greens and Star Fox gets back Corneria. Donkey Kong, also with a new character, has only gotten one insanely lame scrolling stage, along with the return of the worst DK stage in all the other Smash games. And yet, we have Metroid, which is arguably the series to produce the absolute worst stages in all of Smash, and it gets two new stages, plus the return of the ever sh*tty Brinstar.

The stage situation seems really out of whack to me, honestly.

[Dr. Doom]

DK actually has 3 stages if you count 75m. But I agree that things seem a bit disproportionate, especially when every franchise except Game & Watch and Ice Climbers got 2 stages in Melee.

I rather liked Brinstar in the last game, but I can certainly understand why people wouldn't. I'm looking forward to seeing what the Frigate will be like.

I guess you could count that, but it's less of a stage representing the DK in Smash, and more of a retro thing, like the Mario Bros. stage.

Don't forget that Fire Emblem, which also had two characters, got no stage at all in Melee and only gets a single one in Brawl.

All this being said, Brawl does seem to sport more random franchise/Nintendo centric stages, stuff like Pictochat, Smashville, and Electroplankton, so that's nice.

[ThirdMarioBro]

Famitsu reported some rumor of a Mario Kart Wii DLC channel, so I'm going to go out on a limb and pray that Smash will get a similar channel sometime late this year/early next year, because too many characters/franchises got jipped out of their rightful amount of stages, the worst of which being Diddy Kong. He got musical representation (Bramble Blast), but no stage. Why? Then again, I'm still pissed that the hackers found the song "Ballad of the Wind Fish" in the game's code, but it's not playable through the game.

And Jungle Japes Melee was perhaps my favorite stage in the game. Either that, or Yoshi's Island and Big Blue. Never can make up my mind which is tops, but Jungle Japes in one of them.

Oh, you. You know I'm a total Sonic whore.

[Peanut]

Yeah, let's not forget, TMB actually played the 360 Sonic game.

[Dr. Doom]

Bahahahahaha

[Dr. Doom]

For those who haven't already seen, here's a video detailing some of the differences between Fox, Falco and Wolf. There certainly are quite a few points of divergence in all of them, and they did a seemingly pretty good job of taking Fox's basics and making a totally different experience with Wolf. I'm really, really, really excited to play him. I love his style.

[ThirdMarioBro]

When I saw that video of Pit leaping off Final Destination, flying underneath, and landing on the other side without even having to grab the ledge--I knew who I was playing with.

[Dr. Doom]

Based on that, logic would indicate that he's probably offensively impotent.
