I liked Roy in Melee. I think I just liked getting the crowd to chant “Roy! Roy! Roy!” :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: I was disappointed he didn’t make Brawl, but happy to have him back in the Wii U version. But then I ended up using Dark Pit the most in the new one. I tend to switch characters a lot, though.
 
That sounds like fun, those kinds of games are more fun to play with other people than alone. I used to play Super Smash Bros. Melee with my brother all the time when we were younger. We didn’t feel right fighting “good guys” so we almost always did a team battle against Bowser and Ganondorf, with Mewtwo thrown in as the third if we played alone. Who is your favorite character? Embarrassingly enough, I used to play really well with Princess Peach 😅 She was kind of a beast in Melee and clearly had the easiest time recovering. I like Lucario a lot in the newer ones (I was one of those rare people that liked the transition from Mewtwo to Lucario). Every once in a while I will play the Wii U/3DS Smash Bros and do a 1 vs. 3 team battle againts 3 level 9 CPUs to relive event 51 from Melee. I was tempted to do a 1 vs. 7 team battle in the Wii U one just for the laughs but never did it.
Peach is awesome, there’s no shame! :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: I always get a laugh when I play her against some tank like Bowser or Ganondorf. It’s just so entertaining to see this little fragile princess kicking a big brawny character around like a soccer ball.

It’s hard for me to say what my favorite character is. Captain Falcon or Meta Knight are usually my go to’s. But the Wii U added a new character named Robin and I’ve been playing as him/her lately, just because I like hearing my name when I win lol.
Yeah there’s a bunch and I haven’t played them all either. You need to finish Skyward Sword though. I actually really liked that one and don’t get most of the criticism it got. I think Nintendo really shot themselves in the foot by doing away with the motion controlled Wiimote features with the transition away from the original Wii. It was a lot of fun to just be able to swing the remote around to use the gadgets.
I think I will. I’ve been planning on replaying the Zelda games ever since I finished Breath of the Wild. I have heard that Skyward Sword has a good story. Isn’t it the origin story of the Master Sword or something? I remember reading it was supposed to be the “first” Zelda game chronologically, but not gonna lie the Zelda timeline has always befuddled me.

I loved Skyward Sword. I enjoyed the story a lot. It is supposed to be the first game chronologically, though I don’t think continuity is the first thing on the game developers mind. They sort of just take each game on its own. :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: I have the Hyrule Historia book which has a nice timeline. But even after that I’m still a bit confused. 😝

I’m finally making some forward progress in Breath of the Wild. I took on Death Mountain and have done almost 60 shrines, so I suppose I’m a bout half way through.

I never really played too much as Roy or Marth. I remember thinking that Marth was female as a child though, I don’t think I was the only one who was confused. My brother and I used to like trying to mimic Marth and Roy’s victory quotes however lol.

One thing I missed from 3DS/Wii U was something akin to the Adventure Mode in Melee or Subspace Emissary in Brawl. I actually liked the concept of a platforming game with Smash Bros-style gameplay a lot. The Subspace Emissary mode was goofy to be sure, but it was a lot of fun. I remember getting to Tabuu and seeing you get six lives and thinking “oh this will be easy”. Fail.

They didn’t really have that in 3DS/Wii U. IIRC, the Wii U version had that board game mode that I wasn’t terribly impressed with. The 3DS version actually had a lot of divergent content, and instead of Smash Tour they had a different mode whose name I am forgetting. Basically it put you in a large map with a detailed network of underground areas and you’d fight ordinary non-Smash enemies like in Subspace Emissary and they would drop these stickers that would increase your stats. This would go on for 5 minutes at which point you’d do a 1 stock battle against the other players. I kind of wanted this mode to go on for more than 5 minutes and just only be the part where you fight the non-Smash enemies. Those Twilight Princess Darknuts are rather difficult; I always feel accomplished beating one of them, only after accumulating so much damage that he bounces me between the ceiling and floor at least 5 times per hit. 😖

Yes it is, I used to be able to handily beat Giga Bowser, Ganondorf, and Mewtwo in Event 51 with Peach. It’s weird, when Joe mentioned Roy I thought about how I actually like Robin from 3DS/Wii U. I couldn’t remember his name though, and so had to look it up. He was just “that mage guy from Fire Emblem”. I was actually going to try to make some clever comment about how @RobynP must like playing as Robin, but you took the wind out of my sails 😁

Yeah it is supposed to be the first in the Zelda universe timeline. That one may actually be my favorite. And yeah I don’t understand the timeline either. BotW makes it even more confusing due to having references to WW and TP, which should be impossible I would think. I think I was first very confused by the timeline when I first played Twilight Princess and was like “but what happened to all the water that was supposedly permanently covering everything?” I noticed you didn’t have Majora’s Mask or Link to the Past on your list, I think you can download both from the Nintendo eShop.
 
I love my snes still, I actually just got some Bluetooth controllers for it, which makes it 10x more awesome. Link to the past never gets old. I hardly ever play my PS4 anymore, but that new South Park game looks good, the call of duty ww2 looks tempting since there hasn’t been a ww game out in ages but it’s hard for me to get into those anymore.
 
I used to love video games, but I’ve realized that they are basically spiritual poison (as is basically all secular entertainment.)

I’ve pretty much quit playing games 💯%. Waste of time, life, skills, and, most importantly, ones soul.
 
I don’t know about this feeling.

I have a full time job, a wife, studying towards an additional degree. Playing a game on my PS4 here and there in between can be fun and relaxing.
 
Yes, I did enjoy the sub space emissary mode and was sad there wasn’t something like it for the Wii U version. I did enjoy making my own courses, though.

Ha! Great minds think alike I guess. 😆

Yeah I noticed those references. I wonder if maybe it’s just so far in the future that all the timelines like, converge or something? That seems like the only explanation. Though I think Joe is right when he says the game developers are probably not all that concerned with continuity. Maybe they just wanted to put in easter eggs and figured it would also be fun to mess with us nerds.

Whoa wait what? Marth is a guy!?! All this time I thought Marth was just short for Martha 🤣

Yep you’re almost there! If you’re planning on taking on the Gerudo boss next, I highly recommend bringing as much electricity proof potions and food that you can because trust me, you’re gonna need those. I actually found that boss harder than Ganon. Not to try and scare you or anything. 😉
 
I like to play video games. And these 2 give me much enjoyment 1) Teen Patti 2) Clash of Clans (COC)

Good to know. I was going to do the Gerudo one last, but then I went to Tarrey Town after finding the Goron whose name ends in “son” and now they are looking for a Gerudo whose name ends in “son.” So that is the direction I’m headed. Good to know about the electricity. I try to keep a few of each type of meal on hand at all times, but I will stock up a little more on the electricity ones. I found the Goron boss a lot easier than the Zora boss now that I have a bunch of hearts and the Master Sword. 😄
 
I like video-games; they can be as mentally stimulating as any puzzle, and can often be used to tell a story or present a message as well as any novel or film (in some cases they can even do so better by making the consumer play an active role in it rather than view passively).

My favorite games are Crusader Kings II, Stellaris, and the Total War games. These are all grand strategy games where you control a faction and lead it to supremacy through managing several factors. In most Total War games you control a country in a historical era in the real world. In Crusader Kings II you control a dynastic family in the ages. In Stellaris you control one of many fictional empires in the galaxy.

You can usually find older games on the internet for free, as often the copyright expired or the company that made it ceased to exist or they willingly released it to the general public. I sometimes play Tetris on the computer.
 
There’s a dangerous proposition! 😝 Animal Crossing was really years ahead of its time. A real time game designed to be played in short bursts over long periods of time. It was made for mobile gaming.
 
I love the game! Hopefully they’ll make one for the Switch. Every year my family watches the New Years countdown on Animal Crossing 😁
