I like it :D

The best of its genre? I agree!

Doomed? Games on handheld devices are selling more than ever before and to a much wider audience than the Big Three could have anticipated. The success of games on tablets and phones is only going to result in more games available to the public at large. The 3DS is already showing that it can coexist with this level of competition. Doomed? Seriously? So long as devices and games are profitable, doom talk is empty air.

You guys will do whatever it takes to win a losing argument as shown by making up things, using opinion as fact and putting words into others mouths. No wonder I post here so infrequently.



On this topic, I love Smash, love Mario Kart, love Halo but one of these three games is different from thee other two.

One is a more, "core" game that has cross-over appeal while thee other two are, "casual" games that hardcore gamers (in the case of smash, modify) make a hardcore community out of.

I don't see how Halo is more of a "Core" game than Smash Bros or Mario Kart ...

I would classify all three as cross-over games because their gameplay is simplified compared to other games in the same/similar genre and yet is still reasonably fulfilling (easy to pick up, difficult to master), and their content has a broader appeal that is unlikely to offend anyone.

Nor do you have mine as all of the above are casual outside of MonHun and even then, it's a huge strecth to not consider that a casual game.

I'm going to make a thread one of these days comparing the sales of smartphones to the sales of sheets of paper.
