I hadn't thought about stages based on these franchises yet. A stage with constant waves would be beautifully awesome. A few Assist Trophies suggestions (possible minor Spoilers): -Metroid: A single Metroid could suck life from the other players and give it back to you. But it would have to be in small amounts so it wouldn't be broken. Maybe it could be shaken off? -Lyn:This attack or maybe one. Any Fire Emblem character has the right to do a critical hit. -Roy: Flare Blade. Fully Charged. Nobody can interrupt it. Resembles Electrode. -Fawful: He doesn't have any memorable attacks but he surely is a memorable character. A small appearance with his copter should do. -Mach Rider/Wave race pilot/Excite Truck/Excite Bike: Vehicles. Run everybody over. Small differences between them of course. Excite Truck has bigger size, Mach Rider has greater speed and power (think Porygon 2), Excite Bike can jump around while damaging everybody and Wave Race could splash slippery water all over the place. -Laughing Dog: Remember Goldeen? The dog could add insult to injury. -Ouendan/Elite Beat Agents: Not impossible, but not likely, either. Could improve your stats (increase speed, or maybe power) while dancing to the stage music. Or maybe the theme music of your own character. -Phoenix Wright: Nigh impossible, but there is still a reaaally small shot. Just yell his famous OBJECTION! catchphrase and blow the other characters away. I'll post a few more later after some thought.

This has to be the best update thus far. Opens so many possibilities. Now that I think about it: -Tons of characters from the Mario Series; -Tons of characters from the Zelda Series; -Several characters from the Donkey Kong series; -Several baddies from the Yoshi, Kirby, Kid Icarus and Ice Climber series; -Several possible monsters and hunters from the Metroid series (Metroids would be great as Assist Trophies); -The Warioware, StarFox and Earthbound series have their own fair share of characters as well; -F-Zero has nearly 50 characters to choose from; -Fire Emblem has hundreds of characters in total (we might even see Roy in one of these things); -Many obscure 1st party characters (Nintendog, Skapon, Muddy, Baloon Fighter, Mach Rider, etc.) -Several 3rd Party guest characters (We might see Psycho Mantis or Revolver Ocelot; If Sonic is playable, we might see Knuckles or Tails, etc.); -Returning characters (As previously mentioned, Roy and Dr. Mario may still appear if they don't make the cut). My only fear is if cool characters like Mr. Game and Watch and Ridley are not playable because of this (or obscure personal favorites. In my case, Muddy and Skapon. Almost nobody knows who they are). I just love these quotes. Sakurai seems to always make me laugh in a way or another.

Correct. It is one of Myamoto's lesser known games. Should I post the next image?

This game does not belong to a known series (Ex.:Mario, Zelda). It is standalone and rather obscure, like Ice Climber.

First clue: -This game is 1st Party. Made by Nintendo.

A Kirby biker...well I would prefer the wheelie, but Wario's moto should suffice. That would be awesome. And if there are two warios...there could be a chopper duel between two characters.

I may have no idea what games are those, but I want to post an image of mine as well. I wonder if anybody here knows what game is this. [ATTACH]1144[/ATTACH] Clues: -This game is 1st Party.

Personally, I prefer the first one, even if it looks like a spiderman 3 ripoff.

-I hate it when a song that I hate is stuck in my head. -Certain news programs, when they spend more time promoting a new show or reporting futile news than they do reporting a serious accident or crime. Fortunately, I've seen it happening less times recently. -Also, the attention football gets in my country. I must be one of the very rare portuguese people that doesn't care much about football. -The fact that certain portuguese channels (SIC, TVI) decide to air great shows after 1:00 AM. Seriously, this happens with CSI and House. It happened with X-Files too at one point. Fortunately, TVI is airing Heroes in a decent schedule. -A friend of mine that usually starts singing out loud in the middle of a test. He never seems to realise he's bothering everyone else until someone tells him to shut up. -And, above else, flies. I HATE flies.

Flicky? I'm not too sure but the blue thingy looks like him.

Woo! Banana peels? The perfect replacement for the proximity mines if you ask me. Not that I don't like the mines, but, if they get taken out, the banana peels surely will make up for it. They seem to fit the free-for-alls perfectly. I want this game so bad right now... And LOL at kirby of course. Every single picture posted.

I'm still shocked about all of this. Benoit always was my favorite wrestler. Excelled at what he did and had a respectable work ethic. Judging from the comments from some of his co-workers, Benoit seemed like a polite and respectable person as well. I never expected him to do something as horrible as this. The only explanation seems to be mental illness combined with steroid problems. I recall a comment from Eddie Guerrero where he said that he was the only person that Benoit fully trusted. Without anyone to talk with about his problems, aligned with the behaviour he showed to his wife in 2003, one can only assume that his mind snapped. His steroid issues didn't help matters either. Nancy and Daniel Benoit, may you rest in peace. Chris... I'm not too sure about you.

I had no trouble with the wind most of the times. It wasn't that hard to change the direction of the wind once in a while. Even if I missed my goal (an island) I could just steer the boat until I was close to safely swim to land. It wasn't a big deal. In my opinion, a magic sail would take away the whole "sailing" feeling the game had to offer.

I'll admit that I haven't played much the original NiGHTS on the Saturn other than a demo. I didn't understand much of the game back then but I remember being hooked while the level lasted. From what I've seen of the previous game, the art style was breathtaking and the flight seemed to control like a dream (no pun intended). I can't wait to see what NiGHTS 2 will bring.

Seems great! I'm glad this game will capture the feeling of the Soul Calibur series. What I like about Soul Calibur is the fact that skill plays a very important factor in the matches. I'm not talking about the "do memorized combos to win" skill, I'm talking about the fact that dodging and predicting moves is everything in this kind of game, unlike other games where a single blow may trigger a lengthy combo. In Soul Calibur, playing mind games with the opponent is crucial to land as many blows as possible. Most of the "combos" in the game can be escaped from any way. My friend and I would ocasionally play SC 2 (and later 3). He is very good at mind games and beat me nearly every time while feigning grabs, kicks and the Affondo Fendante (a deadly Raphael move). I only started winning when he was getting tired of playing and stopped with the mind games. [/offtopic] Anyhow, I just hope that this game gets done properly and has a good difficulty, as well as having a good character selection (I can't wait to see if I'll be able to play as Voldo).

Well,I don't think I will be able to say anything that hasn't been said yet. That arrangement is simply amazing and reminds me of why I loved Ocarina of Time in the first place. It's definitely a trip down memory lane. The only part of the arrangement that I didn't like was the Song of Time part. I liked the original better. Still, this could mean that an Ocarina of Time stage is in the works! That's great! I was very disappointed when I bought melee that there weren't any OoT stages...until I saw Sheik in action and unlocked Ganondorf, that is. The characters certainly quenched my thirst for OoT.

That's pretty much what he meant. MP3 will finish the Prime story arc. That pretty much confirms that you will lose any traces of corruption by the end of the game though, unless the guys at Retro Studios change their minds...

Woo! Zelda! She may have sucked in melee (without sheik), but I'll trust she got improved in Brawl. About Sheik, I too suspect he won't come back, but, quite frankly, games like this are pretty unpredictable so maybe he will return as a secret character...

Good to know that the exploration elements are still present. That floating citadel looks amazing. The art style really reminds me of Halo in certain parts. I hope the similarities stop there. I wonder who that is on first page: Dark Samus or a "corrupted" Samus.:wink: Finally, sorry if this is a dumb question, but what magazine is that?

I've played Halo 1 and, quite frankly, I can't see what's so special about it. Never played Halo 2, though. In my opinion, the only FPS of that generation worth mentioning is Timesplitters. It had a really fun multiplayer and even the single player mode had a fun co-op. [/Off-Topic] Anyway, Metroid Prime 3 is shaping up to be a memorable entry for the Metroid franchise. If it manages to capture the classic feeling of Metroid while implementing the new features (WiiMote, Allies), it will become one of the best games of this generation (much like the first Metroid Prime). If it becomes too much like your common FPS, it will be a dark chapter in the history of the Metroid series. The great thing about the Metroid Prime Series is the fact that it is so different than normal FPS (so different that there are people that refer them as First-Person Adventures, myself included). So let's just hope that the guys at Retro Studios won't let us down and make the best MP game ever.

Let me throw my 2 cents: Personally, I prefer Wind Waker over Twilight Princess. I loved being able to set sail towards the unknown and finding islands, treasure, maps and other secrets as I explored The Great Sea. Whenever I tried doing that in Twilight Princess (mount Epona and explore Hyrule) I could barely find anything, whereas in Wind Waker there was at least one hidden treasure or a side-quest in nearly every island. Twilight was rather weak in the side-quest department. The only rewards for Soul Hunting and Bug Catching were things connected with money, I believe (correct me if I'm wrong). The rest of the side-quests in that game were mini-games and that monster-filled cave in the desert. In Wind waker, there were tons of little side-quests (Ex.: The Auction, the Koroks, the Giant Pig, Moe the moblin, etc.) that had worthy prizes and rewards like heart pieces and charts. Plus, the Figurine Gallery was awesome, even if there wasn't anything worth the trouble (other than the feeling of acomplishment). With all these side-quests, Wind Waker felt like a complete world, even if there were only two or three towns in the game. Twilight Princess felt like a barren world. There were also two or three towns in the game, but they weren't as active as the ones in Wind Waker. Wind Waker was also better in the music and sound department. There were a lot of memorable tunes in Wind Waker. In Twilight Princess, the music isn't memorable, but that is because its function is to give you the feeling that you're actually in those locations (Hope you know what I'm trying to say). The same thing happened in Metroid Prime. Still, there were a few memorable tunes in TP, mainly the Boss Themes. Graphics-wise, I prefer an artistically beautiful game to one that has realistic visuals. Even if I love the character and monster design in both games, I love the art style in Wind Waker more. In the Gameplay department, I must admit that the Twilight Princess items and battle system were better and more fun to use. I loved the battle techniques, as well as the "BeyBlade" and the Ball & Chain (even if there weren't many uses for them in the open field). I also thought that the Dungeons and Boss fights were better thought out than in Wind Waker. The Arbiter Grounds Boss remains as one of my All-Time favorites. Twilight Princess was also longer than Wind Waker, but it felt shorter, since there was little to do besides the main quest. Finally, Wind Waker's story was better explained and managed to hook me. Twilight Princess, not so much. (Plus, I prefer WW's Ganondorf over the TP one) Conclusion: Wind Waker had the best overall game while Twilight Princess had the best main game (without side-quests). Phew, this post turned out waaaay longer than expected.
