Is Ridley Too Big For Smash?

Posted on by

He might have been too big for Brawl but HE’S NOT TOO BIG ANYMORE!


Since before Brawl was out, there has been a fierce war raging between the proponents and the critics of Ridley’s addition to the Super Smash Bros. series. Sakurai has tipped his hat to the Metroid fans in a few different ways, including him as a boss opponent. But we’re not satisfied. We want to play Ridley as a part of the roster, and we won’t be told that he is too big!

Games that Would Be Perfect for Switch!

Posted on by

Isn’t it great to see an episode fully hosted by members of the greater Crew body? That intro sure seems out of place though…


The January Switch Presentation is right around the corner, in which Nintendo will fully unveil their new home/portable console hybrid. A huge portion of this presentation is going to be fully dedicated to the games that surround the console’s launch window, because we gamers have to know what software is going to support this new hardware! After all, we only know of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, an unnamed Mario adventure, and a few third-party titles that belong to publishers who have been sworn to secrecy. It’s time to take a close look at what games belong on the Switch as a perfect fit – games that will take advantage of this console’s unique abilities!

Should Sakurai Quit Smash Bros?

Posted on by

You know you’re messed up when you gotta use a third party controller. :(


We love Sakurai, the director of Smash Bros. There’s no question about that. But we do have some real concerns about him that range from the health of his body to the way he manages his employees. It might actually be the case that developing Smash Bros. games isn’t the best thing for him, or for his company! We are going to examine the issue from each angle and do our best to come to an objective conclusion: Should Sakurai quit?

Which Nintendo Series Evolved Most?

Posted on by

It takes BILLIONS of years for games to get good – duh.


Nintendo and their franchises have been around longer than the two of us, so which series have evolved the most during that time?

Is Bill Trinen GOOD at Smash?

Posted on by

*Waits patiently by the Bill-Phone for a reply*


We all know that Reggie is bad at Smash… Like, REALLY bad. But what about Bill? Does he have it down to a Science, or does he get Sluggo’d just like Mr. Filsaime?
