Banned! Part 1: Ballers Are Gonna Ball

March 12, 2008 by demoncaterpie

Yep folks, it’s that time again. We’ve all been dreading it like a flu shot, but we gotta man up and take it dirty. Real dirty. Like a fat prostitute with a third eye made of bar peanuts dirty.

So starts our series on what’s gonna be banned from professional tournaments. Your friends at the Shining Fists Blog will take a different stage, item, character, whatever, and explain why you’ll never see Ken within a hundred miles of it. Hey, it’s a tough job, but we’re tough guys. Just look at my biceps. These guns can punch threw cows. Steel Cows. With chainsaw hooves.

1 Week Till Brawl: Import Impressions

March 2, 2008 by demoncaterpie

Here’s an interesting little story: I was invited to go to a LAN party at some dorm near my college. He told me they’d have Team Fortress 2, Unreal Tournament, Starcraft, etc. It sounded like fun, so I forced a friend of mine (who was feeling incredibly lazy) to come along with me. We got lost a couple of times on the way, and we even though about turning around and going home, but we finally got there. It all seemed pretty normal, until I noticed someone was playing Smash on the TV. I first thought “Wow! Melee! Awesome!” But it seemed to pretty to be Melee. And what was that?

New Nintendo Channel Hints at Possible Brawl Downloads

February 23, 2008 by demoncaterpie

The following is taken from an article on Ign.com

During a Game Developers Conference session called “Planning the Wii Menu” today, Nintendo’s Takashi Aoyama announced a new Pay to Play program. This will be a new version of the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection (NWFC). Aoyama explained that NWFC will remain a free service, but forthcoming experiences will require users to pay a fee to enjoy. These services will fall under the new NWFC: Pay to Play program. Games that utilize the new service will feature a logo similar to the one used for NWFC but is orange and reads Pay to Play at the bottom.

Unfortunately, Aoyama did not go into details about what games or services we will be paying to play. He did say Nintendo is taking steps to ensure consumers don’t mistakenly buy a Pay to Play game with the expectation that they will be able to access the entire game for no extra charge.

February 10, 2008 by johnknight1

Well, if you haven’t already, read Homelessvagrant’s post on characters that just missed being in the game. Note that was just “in” the game. No one said any of those would have been playable. They could have been Pokéball Pokémon, Assist Trophies, NPCs, Stickers, and/or Trophies for all we know, if they aren’t already are one of those. Now, some major spoilers are coming. So if you don’t want spoilers on the roster (who didn’t make the cut), stop reading NOW!
