A guy I used to work with was convinced the whole thing was a scam. “Did his own research” and determined that all he needed was the console to upgrade his Wii. So he bought one secondhand. For his kids. Didn’t quite work out the way he had hoped. Eventually broke down and bought the pad etc.
He was not the brightest bulb, just the type to think of himself as such.
If you’re familiar with the English versions, navigating the menus in Japanese isn’t bad. The whole roster can be edited, and part of that is being able to change the names to romaji/English. I believe there’s a patch available to take care of most if not all of that. Let me see if I saved the post where someone else told me about it.
Back in the day I did all of those edits by hand on the physical cart. I still have the cart… one day I’ll boot it up again in the hope that the battery hasn’t died.
I would like to introduce both of you to the wonders of Virtual Pro Wrestling and VPW2, Japan-only games using the same engine. VPW2 tops No Mercy IMO, if for nothing else than by the sheer breadth of the roster. It’s just a shame that out of the box so many wrestlers needed so much tweaking to get around the lack of licensing. But the fact that it was possible to “fix” everyone was fantastic.
I am far from mighty. If anything, I am straight up bad at combat. On my first master mode playthrough I did duck into the castle to get the shield, but afterwards went right back to do/find all the things mode.
I appreciate all of the discourse. But I would like to clarify that the OP clearly states that one’s Smash main is how they are in the sheets. As someone who does not play Smash, that means I do not exist in the sheets. Whatever the proper terminology is, fair is fair, and I accept my fate.

…just as long as everyone knows that IRL I have lots and lots of sex sometimes. With actual people. Sometimes more than one. This is all very true and I totally would not lie on the internet.
My only beef with this video was needing to pause it dozens of times to read the tons of text that flew by too fast. Otherwise, it’s what you expect from Frost: meticulously researched, eloquent, and passionate.
I knew nothing about Nick until the Escapist exodus. I just went with the narrative that it was a solidarity move, and I was thrilled to see SW take off. Frost leaving abruptly (to the public) confused the hell out of me. But that was point 1 addressed in the video. And then the deluge of receipts started.
Holy hell.
I hope the rest of the SW team kicks this turd to the curb. He’s been riding Yahtzee’s coattails long enough.
I felt that way going from a 360 to XB1. More of the same, just shinier. I don’t think I’ve used my XB1 for anything except Rock Band in over a year. And the only reason I felt the urge to get a Series is that so RB loads in less than 10 minutes. (Well, that and Flight Simulator.)
Nintendo and indies are the only things keeping my interest in console gaming.
