What about RE4? Although ammo is much more plentiful there than most in the genre.

*fanboy inside me is released* Although just to make it clear, I do like that it seems that the person who wrote this had some background in the series.

Actually, only one of the characters so far has their Final Wars look, which is Gigan. Well, two if one counts the Gotengo. The others, that were also in the 2004 film, are modeled after their look in previous movies, and include:

Godzilla - Godzilla 2000: Millennium
Mothra - Godzilla vs. Mothra ('92)
Anguirus - Showa series ('54-'75)
King Caesar - Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla ('74)

Another significant gameplay addition is “Power Surge," in which, by interacting with different crystals, Godzilla and his pals get temporary, ultra-powerful, one-time abilities like total immunity from weapons, finishing attacks, etc. These superpowers must be earned in the single-player game, and your opponent can end your Power Surge by destroying the influencing crystals.


It's also worth mentioning that it has a large impact in single player mode in the long term, as players who decide to acquire more power will also lose allies in the process, forcing people to decide which is more important to them.

Oops... err... Monster Zero is already in the game, as that's an alternate name for King Ghidorah.

The creature could charge in the film with surprising speed, moving with its mass of root like tendrils. This is exactly how it was done in the SNES fighter as well, where it would move incredibly slow until the player performed its charge move.  

Also, by the E3 poster do you mean this advert? Or is there another that actually shows the character?

EDIT: Oh, also, her name is spelled Biollante.

It's actually happened before, as the PS1 Godzilla game also featured new creatures alongside the Toho regulars. Other mediums have also been doing this for quite some time as well, such as Marvel and Dark Horse with their respective runs of the character.

Daiei is, sadly, no more. Kadokawa now owns the rights to Gamera.

Or if the opponent has a first priority move of their own, which will hit before Phanpy does with Ice Shard. Fake Out will also ruin a FEAR set for that matter, although hardly anyone carries it.

All in all, there are a lot of counters to FEAR style characters, and their biggest weakness is simply that any advanced player will be able to spot what you are about to do right away if you bring out an unevolved Pokemon that could learn Endeavor.

Generally, if you are going to use one, you will want to save it mid-to-late game, so you can scout to see if the opponent might have any ghosts in their arsenal left.

The only time Baby Bowser has been cool is when it was actually supposed to be Bowser back in Yoshi's Island and, to a lesser extent, Yoshi's Story. Once they made it an actual offspring of the character, they just ruined it...

Hell yeah. As a kid, that's what really got me interested in it. Simply the thought of being able to "watch TV while in class". Later, I got a Gamegear for Christmas, but never got the TV Tuner in the end (definitely for the best...). As many stated, that thing would eat batteries like no tomorrow. Was hardly even suited for a long car drive on account of it.

It was my only handheld for many, many years though, up until high school, in fact. I got hooked on Pokémon, though (which I actually played through a Super Gameboy on the SNES), so when the Gameboy Color finally came out, I took the plunge and have been a fairly avid handheld gamer ever since.

I love four player Smash Bros with all items turned on. I love one vs. one with no items on Final Destination, aka "pro" settings. I don't see either as the "true" way to play, and the strength of the franchise is the number of options available.

I really have not met very many "Professionals" who are adamant about other methods of play in Smash Bros being wrong. In fact, I find it ironic that you are complaining about this, when you opened up the post by stating you would be happier if there was no online versus allowing a 1 vs. 1 setup.

Really, what's getting people rilled up about this? Is there really a problem if someone enjoys playing a game in a different manner than you if the options allow it?

*cue incriminating music*

Anyway, time to complete the cycle:

1. Super Smash Bros Brawl
- God damn I love this franchise. Melee is my favorite game of all time, so I have very high hopes for the next entry. My demand is feverish, considering how long it has been since the last.

2. Godzilla: Unleashed
- Toho fanboy, if it wasn't already apparent. Very eager to get some more multiplayer action in on the Wii, and have been highly anticipating this game ever sense the in game movies were released.

3. Mario Galaxy
- The planet aspect of this title simply fascinates me. Just watching the videos has always made me really crave the chance to just get behind the controller and test it out.

The add ons were a awful idea that confused the market... but let's not forget that Sega CD sold about 6 million units. Some  did believe the hype. When Donkey Kong Country came along, it really shattered everything, though, especially all of Sega's focus on these add ons being needed to bring graphics to the next step, as here Nintendo (or Rare, in this case) was able to do it with a system right out of the box.

Donkey Kong Country was also a phenomenal sales success, being the second best selling game on the SNES and one of the twenty best selling games of all time. I really think it deserves its due for its impact in the 16 bit generation.

In the videos, she is noticeably slower than Sheik was for one thing, but really we know nothing about her moves except for her whip... that's hardly enough to say that she's going to be exactly like Sheik.

Considering it's a more difficult transformation too, I think it more than enough merits having both.

(would prefer the playable character, obviously)


I don't think it's very likely. If anyone from the Star Fox franchise is going to be added in, I think Krystal is probably the most likely, due to the fact that there aren't many female characters to pick from and that she has enough powers/weapons to easily make a playable character of. It's not out of the question, though.

Anyway, site got updated with Zero Suit Samus, which only adds further support that Sheik is still a likely addition as part of Zelda in the future.

So it's a link to your blog to hear what you think are the 8 "biggest Wii games of 2007"... while you aren't even listing them here to even try to mask that this is nothing more than a shameless and overt plug? That's just awesome.

Anyway, list fails for lack of Godzilla : Unleashed

Also, "Need wii need more." is a pretty lame "why" for Smash Bros... it deserves more say than that, hell all of them do.

And last I remember, the SNES and Genesis had no notable graphical diversity.


I have to step in here and disagree. Let's recall that the SNES and the Genesis were very close in sales most of their lives. The turning point was actually due to graphics, with the game Donkey Kong Country. That game was amazing of course, I'm a large defender of it from people who say otherwise, but it was turning heads because of the graphics... hell, it was that game that convinced me to buy an SNES after being Genesis exclusive up to that point. It took awhile for Sega to counter with Vectorman, and by then it was too late.

DKC is kind of an anomaly, though, as rarely have graphics taken a huge leap in a generation like they did then. In fact the only other example I can think of where graphics sold a game in large, large quantities and went toward winning a generation was Final Fantasy 7, which in that case was due to FMVs.

So it can happen, although I also think it's quite clear that it's not the main factor, or even a big one, in console dominance in the market. With the advent of FMVs, it's really hard to stand out with graphics alone too... and there is just way too much "wait, is that actually in game?" type of questions which in the end kind of dull the whole draw in today's market, as it's hard to tell what's real and what's not until getting your hands on it.

The site seems to indicate that Final Smashes can only be used once per character, so I would be surprised if Zero Suit Samus had her own Final Smash on top of Samus', but it's not impossible.
