Brawl, Boom Blox, De Blob, Boktai - Apparently Good Games Come With B's

That's not entirely fair to say, I guess, I'm also looking forward to Endless Ocean and Okami (for Wii)

 

Brawl - Looks INCREDIBLE. Only 4 weeks away now, and it won't be delayed any more, at least not more than a week or two at most.

Roster spoilers:

Unlockable characters: Marth, Mr. Game & Watch, Luigi, Falco, Snake, Ganondorf, Wolf, Lucario, Ness, Sonic, Toon Link, R.O.B., Captain Falcon, Jigglypuff

Well, I must say that I'm disappointed. I am glad about Lucario, Toon Link, and R.O.B., but there were so many other series that needed representation. Where's the love for Metroid, Zelda, Animal Crossing, or Mario? The starfox series gets a third character who is essentially another clone of Fox. Meanwhile, Metroid, doesn't get Ridley or Dark Samus, Mario and Zelda get no real newcomers, and though it's not that hard at all to make a moveset for an animal crossing character, we don't get one. How is that fair?

At least, on a positive note now, the alt colors for characters are amazing.

The music is so amazing. There are songs that I know and love the remixes of, and songs I've never heard before but still love. There are 287 songs in Brawl, more than a gigabyte, more than 16 hours worth!

The adventure mode has been ramped up a notch, several actually, and is now more than 5 hours long, not counting replay value.

 

Boom Blox - Don't know much about it, but it looks good. I can't describe it very well, it's basically a physics-heavy game that has a lot of block-based puzzles. Think Jenga on steroids.

 

de Blob - Basically: Dull, monochromatic world, get colors, paint buildings by jumping at them, get points, beat level. Sure, it's simple, but simple certainly worked for Katamari Damacy and Elebits.

 

Boktai - Okay, nothing new, who cares. I don't know if I mentioned this, but my friend lost my copy of Boktai. I was upset at first, but I accepted it. Anyways, he bought me another copy, and one for himself. I finally beat it again today (it's much harder when you're weaker, out of experience, and trying to never be seen), and got a (fairly) good rank (A-). No rank S, but it was my first time through. Weaker weapons, fewer speed nuts, didn't go through all dungeons.

 

Endless ocean - Just an exploratory game at it's core, but it looks like it could be fun. It's already out, but I have yet to rent it.

 

Okami - I played and beat the PS2 version, but I'll have to at least try this. The Wii controller will make the celestial brush techniques much cooler/easier to use. And who knows, this could lead to a sequel on Wii.
