Items, items, items

     Ok, this is something that's a little touchy with SSB fans. Items. I know that most drop items out of battles because they're 'boring' or 'unfair'. I use items because they allow you to pull yourself out of the holes you dig for yourself, like when you self-destruct. However, from what I saw of the invitational(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AK8En6dIdAg), it seems items will be extremely important as shown by how many there are(and Sakurai's not even close to done yet)(http://www.ign.com/wikis/super-smash-bros-wii-u-3ds/Items). Now, I'm not saying anyone has to use items, but clearly Nintendo wants you to use them or they wouldn't have worked so hard. I always get rid of poison mushrooms and Mr.Saturns because they're annoying or stupid, but not everything. That's no fun. Items aren't cosmetic. They're fun.

My Top 10 Favorite Nintendo Characters

     Alright, I made a top ten worst, now I'm making a top ten best. These are my personal favorites.

10.Waluigi
I don't know why I like him so much. I just do. His flaunty attitude, his lanky stature, his awesome voice, his fitting stache, everything is better than Wario, his disgusting, irritating, far uglier counterpart.
He deserves his own game or at least a supporting role in one of his brother's game. I'm tired of just using him for soccer and baseball.
 
9.Pit
OK, I like Pit because of the dialogue he has in his game, not because of SSB. If I didn't own Uprising, he'd be in top 10 worst because of SSB. He was so cheap. However, his talks with his entertaining leader Palutena are humorous, but manage to be informative and relevant as well. He's charming, fun, and good at his job of defending the innocent. He's a fantastic protagonist. 

8.Bianca
I like Bianca because she's not a snob like Cheren or silent like your player, she's bubbly and has an interesting issue you've never encountered in Pokemon. Her father doesn't want her to leave, unlike your zombie mother, who gives you shoes and sends you on your dangerous, merry way. He cares about her. She decides to convince him her path is the right path by showing her determination and even though her Pokemon aren't as strong as Cheren's, she got this far by going against what she was taught, which took more guts than any other character in the franchise.

7.Mallo
Pure cuteness got him this far. Seriously, the only thing that could make him any cuter was if he had a costume that resembled a Yoshi with cat ears. Not only that, but he's also smart. Who else  could solve those puzzles so well.

6.Dillon
Dillon is boss. So very boss. He has horrible choices of partners, he found a couple in a bar and one of them is an annoying squirrel or chipmunk, but he's a very cool protagonist. His abilities are fun and his control scheme is fantastic. He has a cool design and a good fighting style, his game is stellar. There isn't many things you can say negatively about someone who doesn't talk.
5.Zelda
Zelda is gorgeous. She's intelligent, confident, a good leader, and a great fighter according to SSB. Don't know why she can't fight Gannondorf(who can't fight worth dirt in smash) by herself since she's clearly capable, especially in the form of Sheik. She shouldn't need Link's help. 
4.Star Wolf(He can't let you do that)
So boss. So very boss. His boss power is too much for Star Fox. It's too much for Falco. Too much for Krystal or Peppy. So boss Slippy couldn't handle it, he died and came back to life to watch to see if maybe he could become that boss (he can't). Star Wolf is too much for you too. Scroll before your eyes burn from the boss-ness that is Star Wolf.

3.Palutena
The character superior to Pit in every way, she deserved her spot in SSB Wii U more than Pit did. Being humorous, smart, strategic, powerful, and a goddess all at the same time, she is a fantastic character to listen to, rather it's an order or a knock on Pit's inferiority. Palutena's design is also fantastic and her mark at three is well deserved.

2.Samus Aran
Samus is the most sexual character Nintendo's ever created. She's also the best femme fatale out there. Her silence alone makes nerds across the globe fall head over heels for her. The woman has a mecha suit with an arm cannon, fights aliens without flinching, and, when necessary, strips down to her basically second skin (seriously, if that blue thing is zero suit, they're basically saying it's nude). She fights with or without this amazing suit and doesn't need anyone's help to rock the Metroid universe. 

1.Yoshi
I love, LOVE, LOVE Yoshi! Yoshi is the adorable protagonist of my favorite video game of ALL TIME, Yoshi's Island for SNES and GBA. He's cute, fun, useful, pastel, fast, and trumps Epona in every way as the best rideable creature or object ever. Screw cars, this thing can eat anything! Annoying children, traffic, train crossings, not a problem with Yoshi! Sounds like an infomercial :^ Anyway, the best Nintendo character belongs to the most popular Nintendo franchise and it shouldn't surprise anyone he landed the top spot.

8:The New Magic Number

Mario Kart 8 has raised Wii U sales exponentially.

 With the new bundle that packages the console with

 the game, the Wii U is being pulled out of its own 

quicksand. Will it be enough? Mario Kart alone

 probably won't be, being that the console's quick-

sand is really, really deep. But with Hyrule Warriors,

 Super Smash Bros., Splatoon, Mario Maker, Star Fox,

 and many others coming to Wii U in 2014-2015, the 

Wii U has a chance to crush the other two next-gen

 consoles. And to think: some people doubt Nintendo. Shame.  

Super Smash is a Nintendo Game Which Means Nintendo Characters

     This is something that's been bugging me. I go online, curious to see how people are reacting to Super Smash. I see lots and lots of Goku, Geno, Naruto, Ryu, Knuckles, Cloud, etc. Why? I don't know. Maybe because people don't understand this is a Nintendo franchise. You may find this totally crazy, but it's actually difficult to get 3rd party characters in this game. Blasphemy? Nope. Not only that, but Nintendo's got plenty of other characters to use. They don't need to spend time, effort and loads of money to stuff in Sora. I like those characters, but that doesn't mean they'll fit in. It doesn't mean they have a moveset already laid out for them. Characters, full characters, take weeks to make. They can't throw them in like sprinkles on ice cream, because if you spend too much time putting sprinkles on the ice cream, you'll have sprinkle soup. I understand your need for your favorite characters, but you aren't going to want to play as them, let alone anybody, if the gameplay in general sucks eggs. I can hope and pray for Krystal and you can make your shrine to Nintendo because you want Naruto. The likelihood of Naruto instead of Krystal is kind of low. 

The Top 10 Most Idiotic Nintendo Characters I Know Of

     There are many characters I don't like. Some are annoying. Some are repetitive. Most are very stupid.There are many I've seen who are so entirely atrocious I turn the system off. Here are the top 10 I am aware of:

10.Kaepora Gaebora

Kaepora Gaebora is AWFUL.

He is a curse to LoZ fans all across the planet. I don't think I'm the only one who continuously presses yes to the "do you want me to explain this again" question, unaware of the twenty something paragraphs bound to slowly drag across the TV. Not only that, but it's also telling you these things AFTER you figure them out. He tells you how to throw a bomb after you blow up. Seriously? I can't be the only one irritated by this.

9.Alder
The champion is supposed to be a strategist. An intelligent, powerful leader of the planet's Pokemon, choosing the right team so he or she can stay in the limelight exponentially, sending all kiddies back to their mothers, where they burst into tears(if you don't believe me, try fighting Cynthia). Instead, this wuss and his long, flowing, ugly ponytail are waiting at every turn to tell you how good of a trainer you are, how much he's looking forward to you fighting him. It sorta' makes you think, "wow, this guy must be good"... and then you fight through the Elite 4, strong as ever, to find that somehow they were beaten out of the champion's chair by an ice cream cone. Terrible. His strongest Pokemon, Volcarona, is actually quite easy to kill, and the fact that he's eventually beaten by Iris, another awful trainer(champions aren't supposed to be based on one type) isn't at all surprising.

8.Viridi
Viridi is all about the killing of humans, how selfish, annoying, rude, and stupid they are. How they destroy Mother Nature... so she makes exploding plant bombs, "reset bombs". Except for one thing... HUMANS ARE NATURE. If you want to get rid of humans, then talk to Palutena. She can tell you how obnoxious you are and how none of your dialogue is relevant in any way, shape, or form.

7.Mr.Resetti
I don't know much about Mr.Ressetti, but I can tell you that in SSB, he is, without a doubt, the most useless assist trophy there is. In Animal Crossing, he's supposed to get mad when you reset without saving first. He never stops nagging and bothers pretty much anybody who makes the simple mistake of possibly dropping your system or something innocent like that.  

6.All the Toads
HIRE A BODYGUARD. GET A SECURITY SYSTEM. GO TO KINDERGARTEN. QUIT WHINING ABOUT LOSING PEACH AND GO GET HER YOURSELF. DO SOMETHING BESIDES MAKE THAT AWFUL SCREAM. PLEASE.  THERE WOULDN'T BE SO MANY MARIO GAMES IF YOU DID SOMETHING SOMEWHAT PRODUCTIVE.

5.Slippy
Starfox isn't exactly my forte. In fact, I think Nintendo needs to come up with a couple new franchises not only because they're just milking what they have, but also because this game needs to die. Despite the fact I don't like this game, the average internet surfing gamer must be blind if they don't realize how many annoying,"Get this guy off my tail" memes there are when you simply put in Slippy Toad. The Star Fox crew is supposed to be an elite group. That means a group which doesn't accept obnoxious dorks who can't pilot if their life depended on it. Seriously, get the guy off your own tail or let him shoot you(if I was Slippy, I'd let him shoot me. Yeesh) 

4.Lissa
Lissa. What words can I use to describe Lissa... cliche, whiny, weak, useless, weird, USELESS. Okay, maybe I'm wrong on useless for the rest of the game, but that doesn't make her any more useful in the demo or any less irritating. The girl power thing she brings up is one of the dumbest things I've heard, especially when no one has brought up anything to make her say that. No one said you were weak, but it's very clear you aren't going to be fantastic if you bring up girl power unless you're a Powerpuff Girl or something. Then you find out she can only heal you when she's close to you, but she can't fight so you have to come to her. Leave the fight to heal your wounds? You need doctors to come with your soldiers in war so they can keep fighting! Not the other way around!

3.Tingle
Ew. Ew ew ew ew ew. Seriously. Who came up with this dude? Is that person sane? Do they have a history with drugs? This is a chubby dude in a tight green... thing. A hooded unitard? Yuck. He's also weird, has a horrible voice, and is determined to be a "forest fairy." I guess forest fairies wear tight costumes, are fat, have nasty facial hair and child-molester-esque voices. 

2.Navi
Hey, listen! I'm about to tell you why Navi's pure torture! Hey, listen! She's obnoxious! Hey, listen! She'll stop your game to tell you something you already know, like Kaepora Gaebora! Hey, listen! She's rude! Hey, listen! She also likes to say, "hey, listen" so much you want to shoot her with a flaming arrow, then step on her lifeless body! 

      1.Sinnoh Rival
      His Pokemon suck. His mother doesn't seem to miss him. He clearly has some sort of ADD or ADHD or he's just always on a sugar high. Well, you're probably thinking, "well, maybe he talks fast." Yes, but not fast enough to where you can ignore the sucky speeches he gives about how he's better than you, how he's going to the next gym, how he's going to be the strongest trainer ever. Then he says, "you know what, I'm going to just sit in the survival zone and pretend my Pokemon are getting stronger." So after all that horrible dialogue, he just decides to wuss out and fight you with his lv. 60's. Thanks for nothing.
