Mario Kart Wii has motorcycles. Smash Brawl has Sonic. Project HAMMER has been cancelled. Disaster Day of Crisis looks like crap. Brawl is delayed.

Is this really a good time to be a Nintendo fan? HELL NO!

I must be the only one who thinks that Sonic in Brawl is a bad idea. Why? Just look at ALL of his games since 2001. They have been complete and utter crap. The last good Sonic game was Sonic Adventure. While there have been a few exceptions over the past  6 years (Sonic and The Secret Rings and Sonic Rush for Wii and DS respectively) there really hasn't been anything good from Sonic Team.

 Granted, most people would ignore this fact considering that everyone has wanted to pit Mario against Sonic since the Genesis days. But I feel that Sonic in Brawl would just tarnish the games image. Sure most people won't even realize it until they have bought it, but that doesn't matter because Nintendo already made a profit off the game.

Next Point:

Mario Kart Wii. Honestly, they get rid of the excellent two characters per kart from Double Dash!! and replace it with motorcycles? That is just lame!  I just don't like the idea of motorcycles in the game. Sure it's neat but as a legitimate vehicle? No way. I wish they kept the double characters in a kart from the GCN edition of Mario Kart. If they don't fix that damn "snaking" bullshit, then I am going to be super mad. I think that "snaking" stuff is cheap, in DD!! you had to be a good driver and skilled with items in order to win.

Third Point:

Why did they cancel Project HAMMER? That game looked awesome. It looked like so much fun!!! Anyone else agree with me?

Fourth Point:

I don't know if you have seen the new screenshots for Disaster but they look like an early GameCube game. They are honestly that bad. I hope the graphics shape up in time for final release (like what happened with Prime 3 and how they got super good a month before it came out). But I worry about the graphics if those represent the final game (which they probably won't). From the other things I have seen from the game though, it looks really neat.

Last Point:

I don't know if you noticed, but the release date for SSBB has changed from December 3, 2007 to TBD.  I would worry about the development if I were you.

Snesboy 

eh...

*I like sonic in brawl, i reckon its awesome

*I love the ideam of bikes in mk. i wouldnt have wanted them to stick with double for more then one game

*any source that HAMMER was cancelled? i thought it was just shelved

*I think disaster looks alright. itll get better anyway, theyre early screens remember

*for me, in Australia, i was getting brawl late anyway so this doesnt effect me in the slightest

:D

edit- 100th post :P

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Someone needs to call the waaambulance

Seriously, at least play the games before you decide if their decisions were a mistake

Edit: Thanny congrats on 100 posts

^ what he said

the waambulance

You do know that Sega is not actually developing Brawl, right?

Nor is Konami, just to make things clear.

I'll get Nights instead. No big deal.

I thought elliot from around the block was developing brawl!

WTF.
1st. Ruin the games image? Who cares about past crap, sonic would be an excellent addition as a playable character in a game.
2nd. Then why was mariokart DS so good? and remember ROB had a motorcycle-type thing, and that's one of the best carts!
3rd. Live with it.
4th. Screenshots are bullsh*t. You can't determine a game by a picture.
Last- even if it is delayed, anywhere in December and January is a great time to release a game, and even if it doesnt do excellent in the first week (highly unlikely), it should have good legs.
