I finally copped Smash brothers last week. It’s my first SSB game. Any advice. I played it once over the weekend and I just don’t see the hype.
 
Crazy how everyone appreciates Luigi’s Mansion now. One of Nintendo’s most unique games ever
 
To be fair I’m an adventure or sports game guy.

I enjoy a good fighting game but even the mechanics of smash are weird as hell to me. Someone explain what I’m supposed to be doing.
 
Smash ain’t gonna be for everybody. It’s not like it’s anything revolutionary as far as fighting mechanics. It’s just a fun game that features some of the most iconic video characters that’s just downright fun to play, especially locally with family and friends.
 
I'd say it's revolutionary. What game before smash had a damage percentage? Before smash it was knock the opponent's health to zero before he gets you. Smash made it possible to kill people with a single attack. You can get whooped all match and get a gimp and take the opponent out quick.
 
yooooooo
they just dropped commander keen on the switch :pimp:
yall younger folks may not know
but man i used to play this on windows 95 all the time :lol:

Classic id Software game Commander Keen in Keen Dreams gets surprise release on Switch
Posted on February 7, 2019 by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop




In the early ’90s, id Software worked on a series of side-scrolling platformer games known as Commander Keen. The studio is now more largely known for the likes of Doom, Rage, and Wolfenstein.

Now roughly three decades later, Commander Keen has returned with a surprise re-release on Switch. Commander Keen in Keen Dreams is available on the eShop despite no prior announcement.


Here’s an introduction from the eShop listing:

Billy Blaze, eight year-old genius, working diligently in his backyard clubhouse has created an interstellar starship from old soup cans, rubber cement, and plastic tubing. While his folks are out on the town and the babysitter has fallen asleep, Billy travels into his backyard workshop, dons his brother’s football helmet, and transforms into…

Commander Keen — defender of Earth!

In his ship, the Bean-with-Bacon Megarocket, Keen dispenses galactic justice with an iron hand!

This episode: “Keen Dreams”

We find young Billy discussing matters of paramount importance with his mother.

“I just saved the Earth, Mom,” said Billy. “I don’t have to eat vegetables.”

“Sure, dear,” said Billy’s mom. “I bet Neil Armstrong never complained about HIS mashed potatoes.”

“I bet Neil Armstrong never travelled to Vorticon VI and defeated the Grand Intellect, either,” Billy mumbled at his plate. He sat there, legs dangling, staring at his offensive, starch-laden foe.

After a pointed remark about the quality of the mashed potatoes, Billy was sent to his room.

“Stupid vegetables,” he grumbled, his eyelids growing heavy.

Soon Billy was fast asleep.

Suddenly he woke up, and his bed was atop a hill. On either side of his bed were giant potatoes wearing metal helmets and carrying bayonets.

“Come with us now, Captain Keen,” said the first.

“You’ve been brought here by the Dream Machine,” said the second.

“Boobus Tuber, our king and boss–”

“–is now your master, come with us!”

Billy frowned, grabbed his football helmet off his bedpost, and started to put it on.

“First of all, spuds,” Billy said, pushing down on the helmet. “That’s COMMANDER Keen. Second of all, who do you think you are?”

“We’re Tater Troopers, it’s plain to see,” said the first.

“So, get–”

Keen reached under his pillow and retrieved his Vorticon Hyperpistol. He moved it from “Stun,” past “Disrupt,” all the way up to “Fry to Delicate Brown.”

“How about a walk on the fried side boys?” Keen said.

Two BZZAPs later, Keen pouted.

“Aw, nuts. My Hyperpistol’s empty,” he said.

Just then, a child in chains ran up to him.

“Keen, oh, Keen, oh, Captain Keen! Save us from the Dream Machine!” he said.

“That’s Commander Keen!” the young genius corrected.

“Whatever. Save us!” said the child.

So Billy hopped out of bed and started on his quest to defeat King Boobus Tuber and destroy the Dream Machine!

Commander Keen in Keen Dreams costs $9.99 on the Switch eShop. Lone Wolf Technology has handled publishing.

Smash is a party game that took on a life of its own because Sakurai put so much detail into Melee which was meant to only be a port of N64 Smash. The rest is history

Luigi's Mansion is a better Ghostbusters game than any of the Ghostbusters games we got, including the 2009 game.

Such a unique and fun game. It literally embodies the GameCube’s life span as a console. Under appreciated when it was on the market now cult status amongst gamers. Only console with a bigger cult following is the Dreamcast
