Great review? This wasn't a review twats, this was an episode of fanboy slapping. Seriously, this was as good as the normal game reviews. Anytime Yahtzee doesn't have time to finish a review for a game, he should just open his mailbag and make fun of us, that was great. Also, way to go Nintendo for having the most rabidly retarded fanbase.

I think more people should consider listening to what Yahtzee said about not getting upset over the fact a reviewer doesn't like a game that you do, as you shouldn't let their opinions dictate your own. That includes the people who suddenly came out the woodwork after the SSBB review going "LOLLOLOL STOOPID NINTY FANBOIS I TOLD EM IT WASNT GOOD IT SUX AND UR ALL STUPID".
They should perhaps take a look at their own behaviour and see that they're essentially doing the exact same thing; latching onto a critic's opinion because they feel it makes their own point of view somehow more valid. These people completely miss the point and turn into fanboys themselves by imposing their own opinions as if they are fact.
What's more pathetic: blindly following Nintendo and accepting whatever games they toss our way or giving a virtual handjob to some random guy out of the millions on the internet?

So I guess from the grammatical corrections today, this particular column was "some punctuation" rather than "zero punctuation".
Anyways, while I did enjoy SSBB, it is plainly obvious that Nintendo fans are by and large just kids or kids that never grew up. Not in the Toys R Us sense either. Everything about their precious little Wii has been hailed as Messiahs and touted as exemplifying the Wii as the system of choice. When one person of any credibility in the gaming world comes along and expresses dissatisfaction with SSMM and Nintendo as a whole they grab their torches and pitchforks and attack. Watching these posts and the sheer repetitiveness of their moronic arguments reminded me of any time the villagers attacked in Resident Evil 4. Tons of people, all absorbed by the same "cult" spouting mindless drivel in an effort to kill the people that will not conform.
Also, I'm sure that they weren't complaining when you gave pretty favorable reviews to Mario Galaxy, Zack & Wiki, and No More Heroes. Ignorant children.

*sigh*
I knew I'd find a place of relative anonymous people who are only here for the ZP that make themselves known. The thing is half-an hour old and it has 60 comments already.
Correction: in the time it took me to write this, it grew to 67.

Perhaps watching it would have let you know that it WASN'T a REVIEW.Ph0X3 said:

Moving on, it never actually occurred to me that people would actually be dumb enough to send hatemail, the futility of it is striking. Maddox did this sort of thing, back before he started jacking off on himself.
And it seems dear Yahtzee may have acquired as super-clandestine illegal copy of GTA4, lets just hope his house isn't raided by highly trained kangaroos.
Im sorry but I have to bring up the still NEVER MENTIOND, online gameplay. SSBB is the first game in the series where you dont actually need to have friends! You can join random fights online and just smash your little heart out. That is the main thing im annoyed at not seeing in this review ever, there are other things but this is the biggest.
Thats was pritty awesome yatzee. I pissed my self laughing. Can't wait for GTA 4 review. God I need that game!!!?!!?!@!
I thought yahtzee was maturer than all those childish fanboys who sent him hatemail. Paraphrasing the TF2 spy: "well... this was a dissapointment..."
Let's hope next tuesday yahtzee comes back with a proper review and not this whining about how much hatemail he gets...

I consider myself a nintendo fanboy really, and I do like most of their big titles. I've not bought SSBB yet, but I will do soon. I've tried it tho and I found it very fun! And i STILL loved your review! Even this one! I do so agree with you that if you're having a good time with it, bad stuff you say about the game shouldn't get to me! And it doesn't. But i can CLEARLY 
P) see how some people ALLWAYS need everyone to think the games they like rocks.
Looking forward to next wednesday. Meanwhile I'll play some nintendo games ^^

I agree about the scores, I don't trust any reviews. I always suspected reviews were sell outs since all hyped games get similar high scores with similar positive things said about it. If I ever started reviewing games they would NOT have scores, a good and bad list, just a wall of text of my experience. But maybe at the end I?ll have?I recommend this game to..." sediment to tell if and why you may like the game or not.
