Smash Bros. Brawl's Shortcommings

Ok, let me start this entry out by saying that the new Smash Bros. is freaking amazing! The wifi battles with dudes across country and across seas feature, the story mode, the trophy stuff, the huge selection of characters...all of these things are great. However I'd be lying if I told you there weren't a couple of things that have really been bugging me throughout the last couple of Smash Bros. chapters.

First and foremost, the lack of Punch-Out representation just irks me something fierce. [And if you dare say Little Mac is an assist trophy in the comments, I swear I will reach through the broadband and slap you like a Loony Tune.] Punch-Out was one of the biggest classics in Nintendo's past. Both on NES and SNES installments were gems. The fact that they've skipped sequels on any of the systems that surpassed the SNES [well they had better graphics anyway...] is a tragedy. Heck the way they pimp Star Fox, Donkey Kong Country, and Kirby, I think that anything less than Little Mac, Bald Bull, and Super Macho Man as playable characters is too shy an entry. Look, my feeling is this, if you're going to base your universe around old school meets new school, and you're going to reach for obscure characters that most people haven't herd of before they were hidden characters on 'Smash', you sure better fit in the characters that people invested their childhood in. Find me one kid (from the 80's or 90's) that didn't Play Mike Tyson's or Super Punch-Out, then find me one kid who did play an F-Zero game. Point made.

The Second ramble is really more of me hoping for the future. In the next Smash Bros., I want to see more third party contenders. I want to see dudes like Pac-man and Cloud in the Mix. I know my Brother RockmanTJ wants Sora from Kingdom Hearts. But above all else I wanna see this medium bring back the big dogs from back in the day who just don't get to see the light too often anymore. I wanna see them do what they do for characters like Zelda/Shiek and make me a Bonk [PC原人]/Airzonk character. And while we're at it bring in the other Hudson Soft players from Bomberman to Adventure Island. And I know you all wanna see Knuckles and Dr.Robotnick [Egg-man] go at it. (Robotnick would have a killer Smash Ball

move, *Chuch*) I think the possibilities are endless and a voting system could help fans rally and keep the game's development in the forefront from announcement to commencement.

Sora Ltd. Did such a great job on the latest that I already can't wait till' the next go around. I wish for a day when we can see Nintendo play Obama and unite all the Video Game universes under one 'Brawl'.
