Super Smash Bros. Brawl - Diddy Kong Confirmed

Donkey Kong's pal has finally joined the battle! Unfortunately, screenshots fail to truly capture the way he moves.

He scrambles around the battle, using whimsical fighting moves while wielding both his Rocketbarrel Boost and Peanut Pop Gun!

Some nice fur shading effects in those screens. Also, I want Diddy's hat!

It's looking very good. I don't see why hardcore gamers keep labeling the Wii as 'old-gen' and only for kids. The graphics (while not on par with 360/PS3) are good, games like this are a damn sight more fun than any FPS and it has games like Resi for the hardcore. I have heard several sources say that the Wii versions of Resi 4 and Tomb Raider are by far the best versions

its simple why they say it, its being bashed for 2 generations long.
the next born gamer starting with GTA will say it because they are programmed to do it.
its like a cult, if one says it then it must be true, these are called the ignorant...but you know.ignorance is bliss.

There should have been at least one Mick Gordon Killer Instinct theme on here.

Rebel_Scum669d ago

Should be some tunes from the first Mortal Kombat in any list tbh.

I really like the use of Mozart’s Dies Irae in Wolfgang Krausers stage in Fatal Fury 2.

Volcanic rim for Street Fighter 4 is probably my favorite stage theme

Having to do a thing three times would make my list as #1

Jeriphro854d ago

What do you mean? Like doing the same task three times in a row?

BrainSyphoned854d ago (Edited 854d ago )

Ya, find three items, kill three mini bosses, go to three dungeons. Things of three is a tired video game sweet spot number.

For me, it's collect-a-thons. They weren't fun in Donkey Kong or Banjo and Kazooie and they still aren't fun now. Why create these wonderfully oversized, detailed worlds if you are going to just supplement gameplay with ambiguous item fetch-quests.

There are exceptions, of course, But by and large, it just shows laziness on the part of the developer.
Good article, by the way!

Jeriphro854d ago

Yeah. It is funny some of the design decisions made by developers. Another one that irks me is unskippable cutscenes, especially after you die after the cutscene and are forced to rewatch the unskippable cutscene AGAIN. I mean, who thinks that a great idea?! haha

jambola853d ago

how about not allowing cutscene skipping
that's flat out inexcusable in any game in the last 10 years
