You had to play Final Fantasy VII back in that generation to appreciate it. I didn't play it until 2000 which was pushing it. I played Final Fantasy IX first which made a few important changes (like not forcing you to watch summons every time). And I didn't care until the end of disc one when Sephiroth kills Aeris. If I was trying to play it today, I'd never get anywhere.Disagree. I played it around 2011 when I finally found a copy cheap enough. It is a magnificent game. Better then most of the other titles. But I'll agree that disc 1 is boring. I hate the entire beginning of the game, particularly everything about Aerith and Midgar.
I find it funny how Square Enix goes nuts on this Final Fantasy XIII project that involves three games, none of which are particularly well received, but this very traditional game that is effectively a Final Fantasy in all but name is a hit.
Not really related because it's a different company, but wasn't DuckTales like $5 more expensive on disc?
The gold gifts were insulting. The Platinum had retail and that was fine, but even then we could have been offered better. If Nintendo is just going to go full on digital, just let us choose what game we want instead of presenting us with a list of stuff. This way, almost everyone gets what they want. Donkey Kong Country wasn’t exactly the one game I’ve really been wanting, but I’m happy with it. I would have much rather preferred to have got Animal Crossing New Leaf or Kirby Triple Deluxe though.Not sure what happened there.
Also, isn't offering the GBA Ambassador games to more than the group of people the games were originally intended for the exact opposite point of the Ambassador program? I'm not even talking about people like myself who got the games off a loophole (I wouldn't be upset at all). Anyone who bought a 3DS before the price drop should be like, "Dude, for realsies?"
Just because you don't like certain characters doesn't change their place in Nintendo's past.And that, as they say, is that. Never said that the Wii Fit Trainer wasn't a big part of Nintendo, I just said I thought there were better choices.
MogValid point up until Wii Fit Trainer. I still don't understand the thought process behind that and never will.Then, you're clearly not trying. Wii Fit Trainer is one of Nintendo's most recognizable characters from one of their most popular IPs. Her inclusion is exactly the kind of outside-the-box thinking that's so integral to Super Smash Bros., a fighting game that subverted the entire genre. The series is a celebration of Nintendo's entire history; Wii Fit Trainer, like her or not, is part of that history and a pretty important part at that.
And yet somehow the RPGs of the SNES era, which are tremendously popular and influential on the entire gaming industry, have no representation aside from Fire Emblem and Earthbound. You want to try prove to me that is a celebration of Nintendo's success, then get any character from one of those RPGs that Nintendo owes a lot to. Even as an assist trophy would be fine.
There are a lot better choices of influential characters to choose from. I still think it is a poor choice.
RPG's from Nintendo or 3rd party? Aside from Snake, Sonic, Mega and Pac Man were pretty heavily requested characters. There are people who want Chrono and god knows what else Square and/or Enix made in the day but like Sakurai said, he won't just ad any company's character into Smash Bros. And if anyone got in from them the big RPG makers it would be something like Slime/Chocobo/Dark Mage and those guys are now from the same company. While
Nintendo owes a lot of it's past success to games like that, though what characters among them is an icon? Granted not every Nintendo character is an honest to goodness gaming icon but it's pretty obvious if it's 3rd party they darn well better be.
Valid point up until Wii Fit Trainer. I still don't understand the thought process behind that and never will.Then, you're clearly not trying.
