Adrock, while I respect your opinion, you and I both know you would have bought an graphical update to Melee with online being the only addition. Maybe what you would buy and what you expect is different, but who's fault is that?
Anyway, I can't see them taking the series any further. The formula is damn near perfected. Like I said before, the only thing they need to do is fix online. SSB is really the only game I think of that at a drop of a hat, I am willing to duel anyone who speaks boldly about their skills. If it's there and doesn't take any effort to setup, I'd bet cash money on myself. That's how great a game SSB's mulitplayer is. Just fix online (with a place for my paypal account
), Nintendo. Just fix online and all the people dissuaded, unimpressed, or even cranky will fall back in line.
