Has anyone noticed that 3/4 of the content on this thread has not actually been Nintendo fanboys defending SSBB so much as PS3 or XBox360 fanboys (who else could it be?) flaming it? I mean, everyone insults all the rabid "Nintendo fanboys" who are allegedly defending the game and the franchise in general while refusing to acknowledge its flaws, but if you look closely you'll notice that in between posts of random people condemning Brawl it's actually pretty hard to find a Nintendo fanboy blindly championing it.

Ironic how people insulting Nintendo fanboys for whining their baseless opinions wrought with poor spelling into some guy's forum are choosing those fanboys' same medium and same style to do exactly the same thing.

Maybe Yahtzee can review our 3 presidential candidates (in the U.S.)
Or maybe he could take a tesla coil covered in Whale semen and rape my throat with it, same result.

wow, that was sudden even for me, i apologize, beg your forgiveness and finish by saying that the only thing less interesting than the results of the U.S election is watching paint dry on the acting talent of Hayden Christensen.
And yet- I bet Yahtzee could make it really hilarious.

ok, not to subscribe to the 'Yahtzee = messiah' mentality, but if he has the talent to make me give a crap about that election why would he waste it making me give a crap about said election. There are better things for someone to do with their time, like have intercourse or review GTA4.

once again, a bit harsh from me, but i really cant see this latest turn for events in the american political spectrum proving to be any more interesting than watching an old man's nipples become erect to a picture of Rosie O'donnel in a bodysuit

oh... mental image... my deepest apologies.

I tend to be the 'THAT Guy' out of my friend's. It's odd...I tend to use the 'High Roller' way of fighting (Picking a move that works and staying with it) due to the fact I do not own the systems they have (Wii, PS2 and so on) and yet I end up beating them.

One tend's to laugh and think it's amazing I can actually beat people at a Game I have no idea how to play many times over, while the other gradually gets more and more furious after every defeat and is soon trying to rip out my throat with his bare teeth. Me, I'm just plain happy to be playing.


While I've been watching ZP for a while now (My first video being Bioshock; which I found Extremely entertaining) I don't seem to understand why there is so much anger and hate here. I'm very suprised to see people take things like this to such a high level...It's the man's own opinion. Do you really, honestly think he'll change said opinion because you whine and dribble over the things he didn't review and how other's will veiw it? I'm not a fan-boy in general. I found the entire Super Smash Brothers franchise rather entertaining, seeing as it's become a basic tritual every New Years Eve at the Yapp007 home: 99x stock - 4 players - Food...From the original to brawl, the games just a fun time killer...but I would never go to this high of a degree over something as trivial as a videogame...

Has it been overrated? Oh yes indeed, but I believe Halo 3 took the entire bakery on that subject. The Camera were a bit glitchy at times and at first I had no idea it would take that long to unlock the characters....but I found the game amusing at the least. It does get rather boring after you play it many times over and seeing as I've had to invest in a cowl and a garlic necklace to play with my raging fanboy pal has also hampered my intrest in the game.

Any way you slice it, be you the Nintendo Fan-boy or the Yahtzee Fan-boy...It's about time to just accept that the man's badmouthed your game with his own opinion and stop adding salt to the wound when it comes to defending him. He already proved he can deftly handle the screaming masses himself.

As always, I adored the review, I eagerly await the next and hope things go (for the most part, but seeing as this is the Internet's) over well.

((I apologize for the grammar and Punctuation..It's late, I'm tired and the expresso high is wearing off...))

did everyone here go to the "yahtzee imitators" school of grammar?
or are all game nerds just born with the same ideas of "how to talk funny"???
it's funny when he does it in one of these reviews, but when your comments are the same hairy-cock-sucking combination of aweful sexual hyperboles that he uses it becomes a bit repetitive...

see i did it.. and i'd do it again.. if i could be arsed

No, a lot of us are just not Americans, and as such know how to construct proper sentences... and spell colour correctly...

As for the long windedness and the frequent references to your mother's sexual misadventures, it's hardly Yahtzee specific. Penny Arcade and Hijinks Ensue spring to mind as obvious fonts of verbosity and dongs.

Hilarious, absolutely glorious review. It's like the Internet was invented just for Yahtzee to come around. Your reviews are the most ingenious thing I've ever seen. Why can't any other game reviewers approach games with your subtle humor and total honesty?

More people seemed upset about him bashing SSBB then Halo3 which was 1 thing I did not expect :S
Well Nintendo fanboys have been around a lot longer than their Xbox equivalents, and their years of bitter warfare with Sega fanboys in the 90s have made them a lot more fanatical.

The only complaint I have about the review is that he didn't mention any of the really stupid shit that Nintendo did with Brawl. Instead of balancing characters by taking away gay moves and combos, they balanced it by giving every character something really gay. And then there's tripping. For those of you who haven't played it, there's a random chance that you'll trip and fall on your ass when you move left or right on the ground. Brilliant eh?

Personally, I like this series as well as Metroid, Mario, Zelda, and Mario Kart. Nintendo could keep producing new iterations of those games following the same structures and I'd be happy. Not because I'm an uber Nintendo fanboy, I just think those games are fun and don't need to be changed in the name of innovation. If you don't, that's fine and I hope you have fun with whatever games you enjoy.

Getting back to the point, I just wish there had been mention of the really retarded changes that were made to the SSB series with this installment. It was funny though. And that's all that really matters.

I have to say, reading this thread made me so gleeful a little bit of wee came out.

Only a little bit, but nevertheless.

I don't buy games based on your review, but I do love your opinion! because it's the truth! I would love to hear your take on the new way to milk a game for money - downloadable content

i was planning on adding to this post to try and hit page 34 until i saw this...

why does anyone who attempts to use slightly eloquent converse get labeled as an imitator; stop breathing dude, That was my thing waaay before any of you.

But i am complimented that you singled me out as the example, i feel warm now.
