Gory/blood-ish sounds don't sound very Nintendo like to me.

Perfect Dark, Conker's Bad Fur Day, Eternal Darkness, Geist, and Bayonetta 2 would all like a word with you.

Yeah, but for Smash Bros.? The series that prides itself on over the top all-ages cartoon violence?

I'm calling Bandai-Satellaview on this.

Just looked at SchAlternate's post again...and apparently the "I found a thing" part had a link. Didn't notice that at first since this forum does not distinguish links from regular text at all.

Dante from Devil May Cry get plzzzzzzzzzzz

sounds like whatever forum theme you're using is messing you up.

It's Bayonetta.

The snobbish and oblivious attitude of Sakamoto is poison to the series. In an interview developers claimed the guy was practically in tears by the story's "drama". Really? This guy has bad taste and is clearly clueless as to how to convey a dramatic story.

The guy wrote and directed one bad game and now he's a liability to the entire series? I mean Miyamoto had his share of flops (with his only big one being Sticker Star; Miyamoto's only other flops are minor spin-offs and new IPs that didn't catch fire), yet he's had more hits than misses. Sakamoto has had a number of good ideas in games and some hits and only one big miss (Other M).

Sakamoto should get a second chance at Metroid. Sure he'll need to be kept in check keep him from going overboard, but I'm sure he's still got good games and ideas left in him.

What skin are you using? I usually use the TSoR and TTR skins, and both of them simply display links as black text.

Mighty has mentioned that in the site discussion forum.
TTR and TSoR mess up link text.

But Miyamoto never said his games are more important than another. Sakamoto stated that Metroid Prime was merely a small part in the Metroid series and that Other M is the TRUE Metroid game.

This is why I take a "Death of the Author" approach to pretty much everything. I don't care what the creator, or anyone else, has to say about a game or a franchise's "definitive" installment--I'll find out for myself.

Edit: Please don't read that in a hostile tone. I don't know where the hardness is coming from right now but I can't seem to get rid of it.

[Koopaul]

Don't worry about it, I'm not reading it as hostile.

Anyway this topic about authors reminds me of some TVTropes on the subject, although I don't want things going off topic.

I don't know much about Battefield 3, but from what I understand it's fairly popular and good so it's probably worth saying that it's free on Origin for a couple of days. Plants vs. Zombies GOTY is there too.

Pokemon R/S/E's Fortree City, originally released in 2002 in Japan, sounds like Madou Monogatari ARS' first intro theme for Schezo, originally released in 1993.
