Nintendo Wii Fanboy

I would definitely go galaxy!

Brawl is no fun without anyone with you to beat on, and as for Prime...I get board too fast with single player FPS (unless it goes online....and you get WiFi! =D)

Prime all the way

I am a Smash Bros. fan through and through - I'd pick it faster if I had an internet connection and could play my friends online! I'll probably pick up Metroid even though I didn't play either for the GC, and I'm sure I'll do the same with Mario, but Smash Bros. is my must-have for the system. The sooner we get some news on it, the better.

Prime. Longest single player, possible online modes. Even without online, Prime.

Brawling. Platformers frustrate me and I've never been a Metroid fan (Never actually played one)

So Smash Brothers all the way.

No friends, no Brawl, and I suck at Prime games.
I guess Galaxy but I want them all :(

Reply

Galaxy! Though I will most certainly get them all.

Super Smash Brothers Brawl

That's like asking me to choose a favorite daughter.

No deal!

Reply

I have no problem picking between daughters.
Melee is my most played Cube game and Brawl will be my most played Wii game.
I still love all my daughters but I love Brawl the most!

Reply

Prime.

But really I'd rather take Wii Sports than any of those three.

Reply

Mario Galaxy, without a doubt

Reply

I say Brawl, all the way.

My fiancee would say Galaxy

As for Prime? No dice. I sucked at the NES version and haven't played a single Metroid since. (i'm lame, i know)

Reply

Metroid, if its online and offline multiplayer
Brawl, if it uses the wiimote
galaxy... ill get it, but im not such a fan of single player games.

Reply

If they all came out the same day, i would purchase and play in order

1. Brawl
2. Prime
3. Galaxy

And believe me, that's a hard choice to make, but it would have to be Brawl due to the Melee legacy, Prime 3 would be an UNBELIEVABLY close 2nd, and Galaxy would only be behind due to the Sunshine legacy

I'd have to have Galaxy. I'm really looking forward to Prime, but it follows the same format as MP2, really. Brawl will be HUGE, but how much different can it be from Melee? But Galaxy looks widely different from past Marios and hopeful it will be as impressive as Mario 64.

However, I'm expecting MP3 by Fall, HOPEFULLY Galaxy by Winter, and Brawl in Spring/Summer 08.

Prime.

Smash Bros was good, but I got tired of it back around the N64 version.

The 3D Marios are good, but they just don't live up to the REAL series: the 2D Marios.

Reply

Prime. Metroid is my favorite game series of all time, nothing compares.

Reply

Prime. You people who gave up on Metroid...I feel your pain (it took me a few years to finally get around to it in my late teens), but you've got to understand how good Metroid Prime and Super Metroid are. We're talking platinum-class, IMO. However, I was relatively disappointed in Prime 2 (fine, but not a leap forward), and am hoping 3 brings it back to the level it reached before.

Mario a lot also, though. Same issues with previous incarnations of Mario as Metroid, though. Loved SM64, but Sunshine was pretty lame. So now it's been 10+ years since we've had an excellent Mario platformer, and I'm just really hoping this is it.

Smash will depend on what the critics/people say. I've enjoyed the N64 outing the most thus far (though I love Peach in Melee).

Reply

Brawl no doubt, Its the only one that I'm sure people will be playing in 6 years, look at Melee

Reply

Galaxy all the way.

I think MP3 will follow closely to MP2, except with a Wiimote, but still look forward to it.

Next gen Mario--->Hopefully Amazing

Reply

Super Smash Bros. Brawl, of course.

I've had Smash Melee for 4-5 years and I still play it, alopne and with someone, so, with Brawl I won't get bored in a very long time.

Besides, it looks cool!

Reply

Brawl.

Reply

Super Galaxy Prime Brawl? when does that come out? it sounds awesome!!

Reply

I'd pick a minority; Prime. It's losing miserably to Brawl and Galaxy, but I love it more than those two just the same. It's the first game on my list, then it's Galaxy and Brawl.

Reply

Prime if it's online, if not, Brawl.

Reply

if there was someone else to play with super smash brothers brawl

Reply

Prime. I needs teh Metroids.

Reply

Galaxy...

Reply

Just a question, I've only played the Metroid prime: hunters and I hate to say but it had a crap singleplayer side, multiplayer made up for the bad singeplayer.

Now my question is: are the real metroid prime series better than this hunters version or is it about the same?

Reply

Galaxy. Not a big Smash Bros fan, and I only played the first Metroid Prime.

Reply

Brawl for sure. I mean... Galaxy and Prime 3 are going to be great games I'm sure, but Brawl is something that will last a long time... just like Melee and the first Smash Bros. It's going to be nothing Revolutionary... but it's going to be a great game nonetheless.

Reply

Brawl!

I love Prime, though, its my second choice.

Reply

Brawl, without a doubt. Galaxy I'm a little nervous about after the whole Mario Sunshine debacle...and Metroid is a series that should never have made the jump to 3D. It's just not good.

Reply

Prime if its online. Galaxy if not.

Reply

Hmmmm - Brawl, but only if there's other people trapped on the desert island that mysteriously has a power source for my Wii. We all know it's there for the multiplayer action.

Otherwise, yeah, Prime first, then Brawl, then Galaxy.

@ #32: YEah, prime hunters was basically a fairly cut down version of what you might experience in the full size Metroid Prime games. Prime and Prime 2: Echoes are infinitely better single player games, although the multiplayer of prime hunters massively beats the multiplayer in Prime 2. If you got any enjoyment at all out of the single player in hunters, give the other two a go, they're F#@$%in' awesome adventure / exploration / shooter games.

Reply

I'm just gonna go ahead and subvert the basic premise of your hypothetical question: I choose all three. Consequences be damned!

Reply

Lol, i just tally'ed the votes till now:

Prime:11
Galaxy:8
Brawl:15

How about an official poll?

For the record, Brawl all the way

Anyone who understands what SMASH is all about, they wont even considerate other games.

Since I'm an european, I know a small comunity who plays smash (since here people are stupid and only care about ps2).
I know 3 people who are good at smash, and I can't stop playing it, even today.

I had all the Marios, all the Metroids (for gamecube), and only one smash.
Smash won my heart forever and ever and ever.

BEST MULTIPLAYER GAME EVER!

@41: Considerate is an adjective. D:

If these are my daughters, then call the incest police - I choose Brawl!

Reply

I'd pick Brawl if it's online.
Otherwise, Mario Galaxy and hope it's more 64 and less Sunshine...


If Brawl ISN'T online, I'm probably not even going to bother with it. I honestly don't see there being a huge difference between Brawl and Melee, game play-wise.

Reply

Brawl, but not by much. Just beat out Galaxy. But no doubt i will get all three.

i will buy my wii with mario galaxy.. because of mario galaxy.. and zelda

Reply

I will get them all, but choosing a favorite:

BRAWL

simply because Melee was one of my favorite games of past, and the possibility of this having good wifi multiplayer and future updates like characters just makes me shiver (in excitment)

Reply

Metroid Prime 3 for me.

I'm not a fan of the SSM games because I get to see my favorite platform and/or adventure characters, but I have to play with them with "fighter game" controls. Press up to jump? No thank you. I also don't like the physics used in the game because everything seems to move in such an artificial way.

I've also been disappointed in the 3D Mario games. I know discussions of Mario's move to 3D is generally accompanied by a flood of praise, but I just don't get it. The 3D games seem nothing like the old 2D games. Metroid went from 2D to a FPS game and not only do the new games still feel like a Metroid game, they feel the way the old games ought to have felt (if that makes any sense). With Mario the classic enemies, powerups, and actions are gone. The pinpoint accurate and intuitive play control has been replaced with a little character that runs in a goofy 'S' curve and you never know what kind of jump he's going to make. Will it be a standard jump? A backflip? A sidekick? No one knows! Half the time I play a level I can't tell if it was supposed to be a scene from Zelda or a scene from a Mario game. Nintendo just removed too many of the original elements and added elements that made gameplay worse - an annoying voice, horrible camera work, kicking/punching, a water pack, a tendency to bellyslide for no reason. I just don't see why Mario is showered with praise while Sonic is trashed for the exact same reasons I am always disappointed with 3D Mario.


So:

Metroid Prime 3: I'll take the day off work to play this baby

SSMB: I may buy it just because its reputation is so high, and the mix of different brands of characters will too fun to miss out on. Probably won't play it much, but will make a fun multiplayer game.

Super Mario Galaxy: I'll give Nintendo a chance, but definitely rent it first. If it's another difficult-to-control Mario game with excessive vocal work I'll probably not buy it.

@ Steve

I can sort of see where you're going with that (they did get rid of Mushrooms, Cape Feather, Fire Flower, and the traditional enemies), but how can you gripe about the controls? They were as accurate back then (1996) as they are today, and that's saying something.
