My Dirty Little Smash Bros. Secret

I have a secret related to the Super Smash Bros. series… concerning the second game… Super Smash Bros. Melee. Here it is:
I hated that game. It was like too much mayonnaise in between my two delicious pieces of Italian Herbs and Cheese bread from Subway. I never finished unlocking all the characters. The main reason I didn’t like it was because I hate the Gamecube Controller. My fingers are too long to get a good-feeling grip on that thing… and my fingers aren’t even that long! I’d call the Nintendo Gamecube Controller Nintendo’s biggest flop.

Mario Kart Wii News

I’ve been focusing a lot on Brawl on this site, but I think I should maybe talk about the other game I’m really looking forward to: Mario Kart Wii. I’ve done my homework and I have some news.
- Miis are playable drivers that you can upload from the Mii Channel. This is good news. (I wanted them to be in Brawl, but this isn’t about Brawl. It’s about the poor, over-looked Mario Kart Wii.) Miis need to be in more compilation games, like a certain upcoming brawling game that shall go nameless. They’ve been in plenty of games, more than Pikmin & Olimar, but that’s a bit off topic, right?
- The Gamecube controller may or may not be an optional controller. Seems like a rip-off to me. When they first announced this game they said that it would a revolutionary game in that it would level the playing field between pros and amateurs with the Wii Wheel, but that won’t work if the pros are going back to the familiar Gamecube controller.
- Now for the online play news: Their will be twelve players online… interesting. They will introduce a new channel solely for Mario Kart Wii Online data. I don’t want this sucking the memory, but oh well.

Melee Maniac

I bought Super Smash Bros. Melee the other day. I don’t have a Gamecube. I play it on my Wii. There are a lot of problems. My Gamecube memory card is with my sister (along with my copy of MarioKart: Double Dash), who lives far away – in Seattle. The other problem is that my Gamecube controller’s control stick is falling apart.
I bought it to hold me over until Brawl comes out, because when Brawl comes out, man oh man, you won’t be hearing from me on this blog for several weeks because I will be playing it non-stop.
For those of you who have played Melee, you know that the Ice Climbers might be thought of as “not that good.” I picked up on them right away. I’m pretty good with them, but I am quite literally unstoppable with Sheik.
