I was listening to IGN’s Wii-k In Review today, a podcast where the Wii editors talk about all things Nintendo. They were talking about Super Smash Bros. Brawl, and mentioned that they were waiting for “…the big Square character unveil…”. I never really thought about it, does this rumor have any truth? How awesome would it be if there was? The Awesome Radical scale might hit 11/10. (more…)
The original Front Mission first came out for the SNES in 1995, in Japan only. I don’t know why they didn’t translate it, giant robots fighting one another is universally awesome. Regardless, Front Mission DS has now been released in the U.S. and is a remake of the original. It’s basically your typical tactical roleplaying game where you move units around on a grid and attack enemy units when you are close enough, the only difference being the giant robots. Just imagine Final Fantasy Tactics with robots.
I picked up the game today, and after playing the first two missions I can tell this game is going to be radical. Here’s the story so far: I’m an awesome giant humanoid robot fighting guy (or Wanzer pilot as they call them in the game) and I just started a world war between two super powers because my fiance got blown up by some dudes that jumped us. Maybe confusing, yes, but awesome. Anyway, after I did all that I got kicked out of the army and started fighting in arena battles with my giant humanoid robot thing.
But that’s not even the coolest part. I went to the shop to buy new parts for my Wanzer, and the Wanzer dealer looks like fucking Jerry Garcia or something. (more…)
