  • Best Game of the Year!

Due to convenience reasons, SHS will no longer be operating on this site! We are now located on facebook and are using discord for the chat. For information, our discord chat is here: https://discord.gg/84ue8Vv. It has been a pleasure meeting and serving everyone on this website, but if we wish to move on, we must start fresh in a new location. I hope everyone understands and we hope to see new and old faces. With all that is said and done, SHS is officially up and running again and we had our first tournament on 2/24/2017!! As discussed, we can still hold the 10 year anniversary party. - Thanks for you understanding! With love, Pijy

Best Game of the Year!; (Thus far)

Man, I waited so long to get it because of how much people were bashing it.

Damn, this is an awesome game! I dare-say (is that a word? Or am I mixing it up with something else?) it's better than Brawl!

So far I havn't unlocked much. I have Rosalina, 2 karts (which I'm not sure who they're for...) and the Star and Special cups unlocked.

Rosalina on the Wario Bike is my favorite choice so far...

they went all out with some of the stages it seems this time... Bowser's Castle and Rainbow Road in particular (which have always been favorites of mine in all their incarnations.)

Some of the stages take a bit of getting used to (like Wario's Mine... light characters really suck here... thus the reason I prefer Rosalina to Koopa Troopa or Toad.)

The rocket seems a bit cheap... it makes it too easy for the person who gets it. But similarly, it's easy to dodge (and then just use a red shell on the person when the rocket ends.)

Sliding is awesome.

All the retro is great.

Game of the Year? I think that might be a bit of an overstatement...

This would NEVER be game of the year. And this will NEVER be better than brawl.
Maybe the game of the DAY, but definitely not the year. Never

Don't you hate the luck to win?
The unluckiness to lose?
The sexiness to get what you want?

Geez, I guess I'm totally alone in my opinion that it's best game of the year.

... I guess it might be because of my expectations.

I'd expected Brawl to be an amazing game that would never get old and couldn't be put down. I had thought MKW would be an okay game that the only reason I would own was just to show how much of a Nintendo fan I am.

Instead, Brawl was an okay game that got old pretty fast. Online was lacking.
MWK can't be put down. So many options. So much fun. Online is a breeze to use and doesn't feel like a burden (unlike Brawl where first you have to wait a long time to find matches, then it's laggy throughout the match.) Tournaments are a fun mix. Online points and awards are cool. You actually feel like you're playing against other people (having a name to call them by makes quite the difference.) Sure, voice chat and some more specific rankings would be nice, but compared to Brawl, it's a real breakthrough in online for Nintendo. Hopefully The Conduit is capable of packing in the rest of the features everyone else has.

Oh... and if you don't like items/think they're too cheap, race the ghosts. Nothing but you, the road, and a time to beat.

... The Wii Wheel is really cool IMO. It feels much more engaging and natural than a joystick. I imagine if I played for more extended times (rather than playing for 30 minutes every few hours,) I might start getting sore though...

MKW is definitely the best game of the year if you ask me.

... what other candidates are there? Brawl? I suppose if I were still able to participate in tournaments with you all I might agree... but when comparing random matches, MKW is much better than Brawl.

And you hated it when you first got it, lol.


I think some OTHER game on another SYSTEM (Probably PC) will be game of the year. Or the Xbox360, since they're basically one in the same XD

I guess MKW could be the best game of the year (Or second with Brawl in the lead) for the WII. But definitely NOT for all systems. That'd be a way down low understatement of non-Epicness.

Wh00t, go Microsoft, go pwnz them with your LiveHammer!

...

while you suggested that the 360 has better games on it, you failed to mention any specifics.

*thinks about all the HD shooters for the 360*

dammit.

I can't wait for The Conduit... it's been too long since I've played a great shooter. (Well... Quake 4 was great I guess... but it's starting to be old... where is RAGE anyways?)
