My favorites are still Pikachu, Samus, Fox, and Mario (lack of Dr. Mario is lame). Young Link was another favorite of mine in Melee (never could stand using Link though) - do you know if 'Cartoon Link' or whatever plays similar to Young Link? I haven't unlocked him yet.

I was having tons of fun owning ass as Peach and Pit last night (lol peach pit....errr..). I'm glad Pit works well with my playing style; seeing as Kid Icarus is one of my all-time favorite NES titles.

But anywho, aside from Devil May Cry, I've been fiddling around with a few new purchases of mine. As follows...

Heavenly Guardian (Wii)

Once again, I'm having a lot of fun with a game that was panned harshly by critics. Now, I won't argue this is a great title; it certainly isn't. What I like about Heavenly Guardian is that rather than coming across as a sleek throwback to games of yore (as many modern retro-styled games do), it plays moreso like some random, yet decent, SNES/Genesis cart that I'm just now discovering. Which makes sense, since it was originally intended to be a sequel to Pocky & Rocky, before licensing issues erupted.

For only $2.99 at GameStop, my purchase was highly justified.

NEXT UP is KoF XI (PS2)

Another outstanding SNK Fighter, although I've gotta say I still prefer NEO GEO BATTLE COLLISEUM (PS2) overall - it's only because I'm not fully acquainted with this one yet. I also can't seem to figure out how to crank up the difficulty in this game - which leaves playing single player mode a little too easy for my tastes.

Point Blank (PS1)

OMG THIS GAME FUCKING RULES!!!!!!!

It's pretty much a light-gun version of the Warioware series, before the Warioware series existed. You are given multiple challenges to complete by shooting down a select number of targets/criminals/asteroids/squids/skeletons/ninjas/fireballs/etc. within a very small frame of time (usually 10 - 20 seconds), while avoiding bombs/citizens/targets of the opposite color/etc. This really creates for a hectic experience, and a few other varying styles of chalenges provide enough variety where the game NEVER gets old.

Awesome, awesome, awesome. Especially w/ the Namco GunCon that shipped w/ it. I couldn't imagine this being very much fun with just a standard controller.

Muramasa: The Demon Blade (Wii)

Believe every single drop of hype you've ever heard about this game. If you own a Wii, have $15, and like side-scrolling action games - then you should be ashamed of yourself for not owning this yet. As I am currently ashamed for not picking this one up sooner.

The game is simply fun as hell. The action is high-paced, the fighting mechanics are clever (I use the Wii's classic controller plus) and the art design is absolutely gorgeous. Easily one of the best titles on the Wii - which really says a lot.
