I have one friend that bought Diamond, but the rest of my friends are, like, not 14 and stuff so they laugh if they hear I bought a Pokeymanz game.

sounds like you need new friends! All of my friends love to pokey man it up

nah, never got into Yoshi's Island. only played it at a friend's house back in the day, anyway.

my second favourite Mario title is actually Lost Levels. I love the difficulty of that game. if you're gonna have a pure 2d platformer, I'd prefer you make it brutally difficult because that holds my interest more. if only it had better control..

I ****ing love the Lost Levels, and it's probably right behind SMW for me as well, though YI is ahead of all of them as my favorite Mario game. I've even individually speed run all the castle levels (well, not including the letter worlds, as I was doing this on the SMB Deluxe version of the game) in the game, which is no easy task! I spent like an hour on each perfecting my time.

Fun stuff.

#43: Disgaea 2
Year: 2006
System: ps2
Developer: Nippon Ichi

gameplay-wise, Disgaea 2 improves on the original across the board. the way attacking from behind actually matters. the way healers actually level. the improved item world and the introduction of the felony system. I never bothered with the item world in the original, but the felony system had me going back for more. I'm not sure if I could go back to the original after playing this one.

as for the story and characters? well, the ones in Disgaea are better, but both of them make me cringe and groan. I enjoy lighthearted/comical things as much as anyone, but Disgaea doesn't make me laugh. it makes me wish for the days of bad Final Fantasy stories. and that's saying something.

great gameplay, though. I enjoy power levelling when I find a good map for it. I'm not the type to level my guys to 9999 (I'd get mind-numbingly bored doing that), but I do enjoy doing enough to finish the story mode and a couple optional boards.

and I'm sure I'll play them eventually...I have my whole life to play them! My backlog has about 60 games in it right now.

I was talking about the Lost Levels! 'Tis a whole lot more suicidal and fun than speed running Yoshi's Island levels.

And YI is most certainly not on SMB Deluxe. >_> That would be quite a feat.

oh, my bad. I think a lot gets lost when you watch LL speedruns -- the entire appeal is the difficulty and when you know what's coming and do it quickly, it kinda loses what makes the game fun. same with Battletoads or other really difficult games. I'd much prefer a video like that SMB hack to a pure speedrun of LL.

Hmm, I suppose so, though when you're playing it it's just a crazy test of reflexes that can be quite a blast. Played 8-4 so much that I can literally go through the entire level in my head, and I did this around two years ago or so.

#42 - Wii Sports
Year: 2006
System: Wii
Developer: Nintendo


Wii Sports is seriously my favourite "next-gen" game so far. (to be fair, I haven't played many, just 10 or so Wii games) it's so damn pitiful, but fun to play with friends. it's replaced Track and Field as my stupid sports game to play with friends. bowling is good for lots of people at once, golf is a great game for two friends to sit back and relax (all while laughing at each other for sucking ass), tennis is just fun in general and boxing... well, boxing is good to laugh at how freaking ridiculous you're making yourself look. Wii Sports is one of those games literally anybody can play and that's what makes it so appealing. a bunch of people will congregate at my best friend's house and Wii Sports is just the best game to play.

oh, and obligatory inequality: golf > tennis > bowling > baseball > boxing.

I like baseball best, but the game of our house is bowling. It seems every family I know that has a wii has a different "house game" for wii sports. Like at my other friend's house it's tennis, but at least he has a big enough family room to fit 4 people to play it without us hitting eachother.

Really didn't care for Wii Sports that much, especially after the first few days with it.

That said, I had low expectations in the first place, so when I first played it with my brother I was totally surprised at how incredibly fun it was. I still haven't played much multiplayer of it though, so I'd probably enjoy it more if I had.

the only way I've found boxing to work and win every time is to cross your arms and shake it forward and back constantly.


Hajime no Ippo Revolution looks promising though

that is its entire charm to me! watching people trying to get the game to work is pure comedy. just search youtube for Wii Sports Boxing and see what comes up. mature adults being forced to act like complete idiots? brilliance.

Damnit, this was the exact thing I was thinking when I said that, so yeah, there's the exception. Super Metroid is really amazing in that sense, because the depth of the sequence breaking and glitch goodness is greater than the depth of the game, but brilliant mistakes like that aren't created too often!
