LOL this is probably going to go along with the unpopular opinions but I really cant get into the SSB series. All the attacks are so random. Its not like MK (which will forever remain the greatest fighting series of all time).

To me, it's why I like something like SSB more than any other fighting game.  Yes, Mortal Kombat and Streeth Fighter have stricter, skill, based combat, but I can't learn crap tons of different combos and moves and how many frames I get with this one move to merge with the right combo, but with SSB, it's all very chill and while you can get deep into it, regular players can still get in and have some real enjoyment.  Moves are easier to remember, there aren't particularly combo systems, it's that arcade experience that makes me like kart racers more than I would Forza or Gran Turismo lol

Seeing Megaman's final smash in the new Smash Bros shows to me that Nintendo cares more about Megaman than Capcom at this point... so give that to them

Just give it to them, Capcom.  Don't even sell it, just give it to them as a wonderful gesture and realization that Nintendo could do a much better job with Mega Man than they ever could.  Give it to Nintendo, Nintendo can then hand off 2D platforming duties to Retro and then give a 3D title...maybe call it Mega Man Legends 3...to some other good company they like to work with and just be happy that someone is utilizing the property better than you ever will.  That would be really nice...lol

I haven't played Smash since the N64 days, didn't play it on Gamecube and generally avoided most stuff on the Wii, but now that I'm back Nintendo, I'm pretty excited for this and there seems like alot of new additions to the game.  Plus, since Mega Man was killed off by Capcom, I think this is the first positive thing that has been done with Mega Man and respecting its roots with that awesome Final Smash attack that shows off every main iteration of Mega Man.

Shame it's not coming out on the Wii U till winter as I'm not too interested in the 3DS version which comes out first in the summer.

Not to turn this into a Nintendo thread (Maybe we should open one to discuss the state of Nintendo), but it's said that Nintendo has enough money in the bank, that they could operate at a loss of millions for like 30 years and still stay in business lol

Maybe that's an unpopular opinion in there...I'm sure lots of non-Nintendo fans and those who don't want to buy a Wii U would love to see Nintendo bring some stuff Mobile.  They'd never go full mobile, but I could see them doing ports of their classic games.  I think this would be a terrible idea. 

Exclusive games can be frustrating at times, there's stuff I'm gonna want on the PS4 and Xbone some day for sure, but I'm not gonna buy them for that, same goes for Nintendo and other players, but if Nintendo loses that exclusivity, they lose the one thing that makes them enticing.  When you buy a Nintendo console, you get all the exclusives and great titles and back catalog they come with.  Sure, their third party games are waning abit, mostly just in multi-platform titles (Only a bad thing when you don't have multiple systems which it would be good to eventually go like Wii U + PS4).  Not too mention, them going to mobile hurts their handheld aspect.  Plus we know that gaming on mobile phones is pretty crappy.  If it involves anything more than a "tap", it's not very good, though I could see a runner game made with Mario for a buck, where he moves on his own and you just do nothing but tap to avoid pits, enemies, and attack blocks, sell that for a buck, but no serious games for sure.

- Nintendo is doin' just fine, and I don't care if they ever change their ways.

Funny you mention this one. I just read today on a Facebook link that Nintendo's new logo intended for mobile apps has leaked. (Of course I can't find it, now.)

If Nintendo is thinking about mobile apps, that means they no longer care about exclusives. And if that's the case, than it's very likely Nintendo is thinking about abandoning the console model.

I thought they completely dismissed that idea, because it was absolutely terrible for them in the long run if their stuff loses exclusivity.  Nintendo isn't the kind of company that goes for the quick buck route, they play the long game.

I'm still watching Arrow right now, which is almost over, Agents of Shield is almost over, Being Human is almost over, and that'll add to Walking Dead, Top Gear, and Almost Human that are already over.  Luckily I got Game of Thrones right now and in June Falling Skies is coming back along with an interesting looking show called The Last Ship.  Viruses are the thing now, such as with Helix, another I watched that just ended too.

I buy pretty much everything new from Gamestop, they are just convenient and have the best game supply lol Some of their practices are annoying and shitty, but I have no serious issue with them.

For me, my probably unpopular gaming opinion would be that I think all Resident Evil games before RE4 are terrible to play.  Those tank controls were miserable, I hated the static camera, and while I enjoyed the setting and played nearly every one, I could only manage to beat I think RE3 and Dead Aim, of which Dead Aim is a light gun game lol.  The rest of the time I just got annoyed with the shitty controls.  None of them even remotely compare to RE4 for me.  I appreciate their place in the gaming lexicon, but I'd rather play pretty much any of the newer RE games than go play those ones...maybe even RE6, but I'm not committing to that, because that one was pretty bad lol

Anyone here watch Almost Human?

The season finale came and went and we NEVER found out what lies beyond the wall? What the hell? Why even tease us with this? Especially since it airs on FOX and this is a sci-fi show, which means we probably won't get a 2nd season to explain it.

I thought the show was just alright, watchable enough to stick with it, but yeah, I hated that they never told us anything about that.  I didn't even realize I was watching the finale till the next week when it didn't show back up lol

I never was into AC games, but I liked the setting of AC3, it was just too boring with it's side stuff and the main guy of AC3 was an absolutely terrible character.  Didn't care a lot for the story too.  Really, I hate the modern world aspect of the series.  If it was just an afterthought, where it's like "You have access to your ancestors memories because of science, learn about this secret history!" and nothing more, I'd be way happier.  I'm just glad I haven't gone back to the modern setting more than once so far in AC4 lol

Back to playing Assassin's Creed 4 after putting it up for abit.  Finally got to proper open world boat action and it's pretty great.  I also find it weird that Kenway in this is a better and more accomplished assassin than whats his face from AC3, except that he was raised for years by someone from the Assassin's, but Kenway is better even though Kenway has never trained and just happened to steal the suit from a dead dude lol They really didn't plan this character out very well, but I still love the game a hell of a lot more than AC3 which is mostly forgettable.

Super stoked that after just getting a Super Famicom Link to the Past, I'm gonna be getting the Japanese N64 Ocarina of Time this weekend.  Never really planned to get the Japanese versions of the games, but now I really want them for the collection lol

If a Power Base Converter works, then a 32X probably does, too. But a Sega CD wouldn't, it connects through another port.

We'll make it fit, we have the technology!

Then you add a 32X and slap it on top of a Sega CD and put in all 6 controller and then hook it up with both HDMI and AV hookups, and start attaching Gameboy games, twice, as you can maybe fit in a Super Gameboy up front with a game and you've created a technological monstrosity lol

Retron's not that bad. I love how they take the original controllers. If you can wait a bit longer Hyperkin is going to releasing the Retron 5 this month. They've slated it to be 100 dollars and will support NES/FC, SNES/SFC, Genesis/Mega Drive (Master System via Power Base), GB, GBC, GBA all with HDMI output and save states.

Oh dang, yeah, I'll wait for that LOL
