What about the game made you want to buy Kid Icarus™: Uprising?

It is from the creator of the Super Smash Bros. series, Masahiro Sakurai

Totally the main reason why I got it!

He made Meteos?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meteos

lead designer was Masahiro Sakurai

So yes!

I honestly like Melee and Brawl about the same, but I guess I gave the slight edge to Melee due to sheer amount of time I put in that game throughout the years.

Go Us!

Simply in honor of Kid Icarus: Uprising being released today.

According to Wikipedia they are:

Kirby's Dream Land
Kirby's Adventure
Kirby Super Star
Super Smash Bros.
Super Smash Bros. Melee
Kirby Air Ride
Meteos
Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Kid Icarus: Uprising

It's up to you on whether you want to keep Kirby's Adventure and Nightmare in Dream Land separate or not.

I'd personally rank them:

Kirby Super Star
Super Smash Bros. Melee
Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Kirby's Adventure
Super Smash Bros.
Kirby's Dream Land
Kirby Air Ride

I haven't played Meteos yet and haven't started Uprising either.

Now here's hoping that Amazon will give everyone who pre-ordered a $10 promotion credit.
Did they did it with Skyward Sword, so they can do it again, right?

Hey wait a minute, where's FF VII International? I'm pretty sure I nominated that one instead of the PAL box art.
And if it wasn't for Ninja Gaiden 3, this would've been my 6th box art in a row...

Are you f***ing kidding me?

As much as I would like the Geass costumes, I'm not sure if I'm willing to fork over $16 for all of them....

From: SuperAngelo128 | #163
huh maybe i wasnt giving enough of a chance but Asbel's a lot funner on my New Game+ playthrough than I remember him being

Well by now you probably have all these nice fancy moves for him if you transferred your Artes over.

Hey now, for all we know this Rock Lee spin-off could end up being much better than Sasuke Shippuuden.

No need for words,

It's actually his universe (Akaneia) in the distant future.

Ok, that would make much more since of that not being the real Marth.

--
Hear me, Amaterasu

I'm actually not convinced if that really is Marth, with him suddenly being voiced by a woman from the voice clips here:
http://www.nintendo.co.jp/3ds/afej/characters/chara9.html

Yes, I know that this VA, Yuu Kobayashi, is known for voicing young males, but it doesn't make much sense to suddenly change when he already had a well established VA.

Plus his build looks a lot smaller, moreso than what he was like in Melee/Brawl/Shadow Dragon.

And if this game were to take place after FE3, he shouldn't be so young looking to begin with.

Oh and before anyone rags on Krom's name, you should know that it's pronounced like Chrome.

If it's with whatever kind of beef there can be on it, then it's super delicious.

You didn't find it odd that the characters were like level 65?
Plus Sophie and Richard were wearing their 'future' costumes.

Vesperia randomly goes for $16 on Newegg sometimes, it just did recently but got sold out again, though I fully expect to go back in stock later on.

From: __Smurf__ | #042
so whats the deal with that F?

It stands for Future, something to do with an Epilogue part of the game that was added to the PS3 version.

Exia
Nirvash

Gurren-Lagann

Those alone sound like a 10/10 to me!

Oh geez is this really the 5th box art of mine in a row?
Maybe I should slow down the nominations.....

...or not

Assassin's Creed (PS3)

Also SHINE you forgot to put the 24/24 for trophies on your backloggery for WKC. Can't be inconsistent about this!

http://img.imgcake.com/whitelens/MadokaThanksjpgen.jpg

Oh good not needing to go through several playthroughs for difficulty trophies is a huge plus.

And just to be sure before I start playing, there are no missables during the child portion of the game, right?

Also if you start the game on hard mode do you still do crap for damage at the beginning like in Abyss?

--

Best Game Ever II

Simply because it was the only time where I ended on the leaderboard.

What's your review of WKC? and will you ever touch it again?

We should have SHINE do WKC II as his 50th so he'll have to do it all over again!

--
http://card.psnprofiles.com/1/Cartyx.png

Nice, thanks for the info! Just ordered one.

And I'll just use this time to say that one of the Kid Icarus anime is up on Nintendo Video right now. (the CG one)

It also shows who Pit and Palutena are voiced by.
Looks like Pit is NOT voiced by Johnny Yong Bosch like some people thought he was.

However Palutena is voiced by Lightning, did not see that coming.

Looks like I'll be picking it up when I come back home.

From: KlownBoat | #012
I always wanted to play Abyss, but I never found it in stores and I've still actually never laid eyes on the game...

Just letting you know that apparently there was a reprint for the PS2 version of Abyss and you can still get new copies of it:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000G7X5MM/ref=s9_simh_gw_p63_d0_g63_i3?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=center-2&pf_rd_r=1Y4ZNGM4D7TE8TZMYDMM&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=470938631&pf_rd_i=507846

That is if you don't have a 3DS.

--
http://img.imgcake.com/whitelens/gokfriendsjpgym.jpg

Uh....pretty much all the current gen consoles would do that, even the Wii to a lesser extent.

--

Hey now, we're just contributing to this:

Every box art in existence needs to be rated HERE IN THIS TOPIC.

Though I should really get back to nominating some popular stuff since it seems like most of my noms these days are super obscure Japan-only PSP games...

O........O
...^^^^^...

Oh wait, these are 3 box art noms of mine in a row!

Ah yes, the English version of Mamoritai, the one thing that led people to believe that Graces would come out in English back then....well it did alright, just over 2 years later and on a different console.
