Maybe a Starbucks

I'm sitting here looking at the hundreds of dollars I've spent on Wii games, and I was bored so I'm blogging about it.
First of all, honorable mention goes to Wii Sports, Twilight Princess, and The Simpsons Game.
5. Mario Kart Wii. This is the second most frustrating video game I've ever played after Spy vs. Spy for the NES. But the very fact that I continue to play it over and over again says something... Nintendo knows how to keep you coming back.
4. Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock. I think I spent more time playing this game than any other.
3. Super Paper Mario. Classic with a dollop of modern. Feels like the son of Super Mario Bros. 3.
2. Super Smash Bros. Brawl. If you've read my blog regularly you're probably surprised that this isn't number one, but I thought about this for a long time, and determined the main problem with this game is repetitiveness - too many of the characters are too similar. Sorry, Brawl but there's one Wii game that takes the cake... o Mushroom as it were...
1. Super Mario Galaxy. This is like the grandson of Super Mario Bros. 3. There's not one aspect of this game that I don't like, from the overall gameplay to the background music. This game rocks!...

Brawl is fast approaching. I'm bored. Here's the result: a top ten list of the greatest things about Super Smash Bros. Brawl that I can't wait to try out, and then try out some more.
10. Costume Changes: Want to play as Fire Mario? A Yeti DK? Dark Link? You can. For me the best aspect of this is that you can change WarioWare Wario to classic Wario. Get rid of the modernized rugged vest and helmet and replace them with the old school purple and yellow overalls with hat.
9. Assist Trophies: Are you sad that Gray Fox wasn't in Brawl? Mr. Resetti? Waluigi? Knuckles? Well, just because you can't play as them doesn't mean they aren't there. They're all Assist Trophies!
8. Music: There's a stage that plays music you can't stand? Change the likelihood that the song will play on that stage with the "My Music" mode.
7. Controller Customization: First you've got four whole controller options, and if that's not enough you can customize them pretty much anyway you want. Plus you can input a name to go with a customization.
6. Subspace Emissary: You're really getting your money's worth with this game. It's quite literally two games in one. You've got the fighting game, and then you've got a complete side-scroller adventure.
5. Final Smashes: This is the greatest idea to hit the Smash series since... the Smash series itself. Can't wait to play as Giga Bowser, Super Sonic, and Landmaster.
4. The Graphics: Obviously, this game has been getting a lot of praise for it's amazing gameplay, but not nearly enough people are praising the graphics. Compare Melee Mario to Brawl Mario. Compare Melee Zelda to Brawl Zelda. And if you want a real shock, compare Melee Link to Brawl Link.
3. The Newcomers: Brawl definitely has the best selection of newcomers of any game in the series. (Which is impressive because the first one was technically nothing but newcomers.) Can't wait to try out Meta Knight, Snake, Pit, R. O. B., and of course Sonic.
2. Custom Stages: Hey! Look at me! I'm a video game designer! My mind has been swimming with ideas since I first read about this.
1. Battling Online: I've wanted to do this since the N64 version. Sadly there will be no leaderboards so people won't know whose the best, but I'm gonna go ahead and proclaim myself the champion of the universe.
