S.C.G

I've K-O'd Pit loads of times with Ganon and Bowser... tbh I think it just depends on the way you play them, also Ganons final smash pwns Pits easily IMO plus it's more difficult to avoid unless your allready airborne whereas Pits final smash I find ways to avoid getting K-O'd by it quite easily.

I didn't manage to get my two copies (yet) there was a fuck up due to the courier service, when the boxes were picked from the factory from delivery, they have their own area codes 08 is for the area where I was due to buy it from and 80 is somewhere up country seems someone at the factory end read the box upside down. Apparently it's not the first time it's happened to them as they are an independent retailer but meh, it's still ok, he should have them in today but I'm gonna pick mine up tomorrow as he's gonna hold the two copies for me, so I'll get it tomorrow on my way to work, day off today and cba to go in there to get it. Besides I've got Ikaruga and SSBB to play, to everyone else who allready has Mario Kart; I hope your all enjoying it.

Brawl > Melee Imo but some just don't want to accept it. All the changes were made for the better.

Yes, most probably. Woot! Achievement unlocked, Destroy Tageri get! (final boss in Ikaruga) just the A grade achievements to get now. Oh and the y'know... clear the whole game without using Continue as well... >>

I'm getting this later, can someone please confirm the obvious for me that it's better than MK DD in single player and equal to MK DS in multi player? thanks

Meh... I don't care about the unbalanced items complaints etc, it's the way Mario Kart has always been and always will be, it's part of the challenge of trying to win a race IMO, some power-ups that are used against you can be dodged / deflected, others can't then theres the element of luck... Basically the challenge is being able to win despite the unpredictable nature of the way each race plays out but above all for the most part it doesn't matter if you come 1st, 3rd or 12th cos it's so damn fun. ... though it's stilll nicer to win.

first level I think it includes the trigger move as well, pus I think you have to do it in All mode and not chapter, other than that as long as you haven't fired a single bullet on stage 1 you should get it after the boss battle.

I've just beaten Misago (the fourth boss) ^^ gonna save getting to the fith and final chapter until tomorrow I think and I'll save the A rank achievements for co-op mode.

Btw Deathjam, that copy from Play, it's status went back to preorder so I won't be getting it around launch from them, it'll be whenever they get their next shipment in :/ do you still want it? afaik it's still gonna go through as £29.99 as soon as they get it if I don't cancel, so anyway let me know.

Getting my two copies from my independat retailer today ^^ (one for me and one for my brother) they are only getting 10 in (they ordered 60) but I'm still getting mine it seems as my name was on the list before they ran out of places to allocate.

If this is real then OMFGBBQHAXLOLAWESUM... If they continue to call it Z and implement the weapons poorly then Face-Palm fail... Seriously, I don't think F-Zero needs weapons, it's the precise control and second to none gameplay that has always made it succesfull; add weapons and you take away part of the players concentration that would normally be focused soley on the boosting and turning. It could still work but only if they implement it well but tbh unless it's made by Amusement Vision then I have no faith in it.

re-releasing the Wavebird for Wii would be nice... re-releasing it with a recharable battery pack and RUMBLE FUNCTION would be nicer... If the 360 pad can do it, then so can a re-released Wavebird in this day and age, otherwise whats the point? might as well stick with an original wavebird.

On second playthrough, got the second boss achievement and got to chapter 3, then I started from chapter 3 and got the third boss achievement (that boss is a bitch. Oh and Cube... don't worry "everyone" sucks balls at Ikaruga when they first play it, even me... >>' but if you really can't get anywhere with it then try the following just to get a feel for the game... Difficulty Easy - lives 5 - continues on - play by just trying to defeat avoid enemies as and when you can - don't worry about chains for now - change polarity (black or white) when a large mass of bullets comes your way of that colour - black absorbs black, white absorbs white - "eat" as many large groups of dots (bullets) as you can then use the underside triggers to unleash a mass of energy on the enemies - and lastly... try not to die. I hope thats of some help anyways but I reckon if you follow those steps to start off with then you'll be pwning the game in no time, then once you've pwned the game, you can try going for chains to get the uber impossible A rank achievements, have fun.

Ikaruga is now up on XBLA for anyone who wants to download it which is what I'm doing right now ^^ quick download too, I can't wait to start playing this again, it's been far too long... *Edit* First go (in ages since I last played it) I tried it with no continues on Normal and got to Chapter 2 :/ not bad but not great and I kept on making "noob" mistakes as I'd forgotten about certain patterns in the game, got one achievement allready though for the first boss ^^ gonna keep on playing for a bit. *Edit 2* Dot Eater get! ^^ and O.o unlocked the Dot Eater leaderboard! seems theres a scoreboard for playing through THE ENTIRE GAME without firing any bullets... sheesh one lvl was back enough. :P

I can't believe that NOE are seriously considering releasing Brawl in September... May / June would have been bad enough, it's been out for well over a month now in US and even longer in JP. I'm so glad I decided to get the US version.

Loving the game atm but it's skipped randomly on the intro a couple of times now... should I be concerned / worried?

Sure, if it goes through then your welcome to purchase it from me (assuming nothing goes wrong my independant retailer supposedly getting 15 copies guarenteed in stock) and erm hat? O.o I think thats only Game exclusive.

Mine too O.o and thats after them telling me that wouldn't get my pre-ordered copy via e-mail :/ Idk what they are playing at but I'm gonna let the extra copy go through if it does... I mean £29.99 and if it's sold out then i can easily make that back by selling it to someone who wants it anyways. we shall see... I'm still gonna get my main copy from my local independant retailer though.

Seconded, playing the previous ones seems somewhat redundant.

Enjoying the Sub Space Emissary atm, btw those flashing icons on areas on the map that have previous been played... does that mean theres more stuff to go back to in those areas?

None... I used to buy them all but now I see no point to it I have a whole stack of old Nintendo magazines, in fact if anyone is interested in buying them, let me know.

Me and my brother played this for the first time last night, had some epic matches, it's so much fun. ^^ Just played a few single player Brawls too, really enjoying it. Btw how do most of you take out the disc when you've finished? is there a recommended way? because if you go back to the Wii menu, it just spins until you get an error message... which can't be good for the console, so I'm now just ejecting it at the main menu of the game but just wondered if there was a better or reccomended way, thanks. Apart from that, the game itself is awesome.

Whats with Edge giving Mario Kart 6/10? and their quote... "having sacrificed racing intergrity in double dash to side with social silliness, Nintendo has turned 180 degress into an akward halfway house" I'm still looking forward to it and I'm not gonna let one review disuade me (especially not one of Edge's :P) but sheesh I would have expected it to have only got a 7/10 absolute lowest, oh well... roll on Friday! *goes back to playing Brawl*

>>' the channel will probably take up more than that, I'd say get an SD card (if you don't allready have one) and back some stuff onto that, it's the only way >< for now...

I'm playing through it atm for the first time and so far I'm really enjoying it ^^ in fact I'm about to play it for a little bit right now. *edit* Also, Caris... I tried hooking the PS3 without the box today, still borders :/ so it's the TV but anyways it's a minor issue really and there may yet still be a way to get it to work anyways... *goes back to playing MGS3* ^^
