Nintendo has been on a downward spiral since about late 2007. They realize that appending onto once-original-and-fresh franchises with trivially different installments isn't working, so they're attempting to woo their 90's fans with retro poo poo like rear end-backwards fight-sticks, if I can even call them that.

Nintendo was once great, but they refused - and still refuse - to compete in the arms race that other studios are waging on them, so they're losing a massive amount of fans; by assuming that their legacy would carry them, they've effectively granted the marketing department precedence to save some of the patrons Nintendo has left.

If that doesn't convince you, no other studio would come up with something this awkward and un-usable besides a titan on its last legs trying to come up with something new like they used to back in the 90s/early 2000s.

I'm gonna buy and play the new zelda

so

take that

People writing dumb self-important stuff is just that and isn't exclusive to fighting games, I once read a Dota guide on supporting that descended into paragraphs on how watching anime will make you a better player.

but that's true though

in games and also in life

yo drat, throwback, I played the poo poo out of this as a kid and it ran like complete rear end. I completely forgot it existed until now.

e: haha it came with the Diamond Monster 3d which is almost definitely how we got it

I don't get it.

Is Zand trying to "own" Partial Octopus for making dumb excuses or being stupid, but is ending up in his attempted owning backfiring on him as he is just making himself look bad? Is that what's going on? That's what I think is going on anyway.

yep, mm hm, this is exactly it, you somehow nailed it in one

I was just about to reply to the guy going on about goons getting mad about Smash that he was being silly -- we just don't care -- but then you had to go ahead and post.

yeah i made a solid observation, heh

I mean again, there's a smash thread, why he post these things in here is my point.
