Super Smash Brothers Brawl has arrived. Of course, the day after I posted about how the game was very late to arrive, it shows up. I played about 90 minutes or so of the game so far. I’ve been dabbling in the The Subspace Emissary (Adventure Mode) as well as the free-for-all modes trying to unlock characters.
I’ve already grown attached to Wario as my favorite character. He can kill people with a motorcycle, or a killer fart. How can you NOT want to play as him? I’m working to unlock Snake, who kicked my ass the first time I met him. I can consistently beat low level computer characters (Except when I choke to unlock them), and I’ve worked on my button input configurations to get a more natural feel for the controller. I’m currently playing with the “Classic” controller, but I have all four options available for me when someone else comes to play.
My wife has a drama on television she watches every night. I got kicked off the television for that, which gives me the perfect excuse to write my website about how I want to leave and go play Brawl some more. I’ll be like this for several week, then it will pass and I’ll only be playing the game in my available free time, instead of at the expense of all other things, by and large.
This is probably my favorite game series of all time, even though I’m not very good at it, and turned me into a huge Nintendo fan. Sometime next month I’ll hold a game day over at our apartment. I’ve got to get the characters unlocked in anticipation of the event. That’s the excuse I’m giving myself to stay up late to play a video game.
