I'd like to point out that square is responsible for Chrono Cross and Final Fantasy Tactics Advance.

SquareSoft.

I don't really hold bad games against a company; it's all about the quality of the good games.

Chrono Cross is better than most Nintendo games anyway

I almost wanna say FFTA is too but it's possible I'm overestimating the crap there.

Capcom lost that badly? They were on a pretty good run at the beginning. It's too bad, considering they were the best company ever up until this gen.

nintendo is responsible for wii fit, mario kart(used to be good at least...), wii music, pikmin, phantom hourglass, donkey kong jungle beat, super smash bros brawl, rhythm heaven, animal crossing, and nintendogs

not only does nintendo make more bad games than square ever did, but making bad games and marketing them to stupid people is actually the cornerstone of their business model these days as quality series' such as f-zero and star fox have been dropped entirely and they horribly botched an attempted reboot of metroid.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl is an awesome game, what are you talking about??? And yes I am a Melee > Brawl guy - for me both games kinda sap off each others' appeal to a rather noticeable extent though.

Even then, Nintendo having released its best game since 1994 last year makes up for all of this (and shut up about SMG2 being a "rehash" - honestly, Brawl and even Twilight Princess feel more like rehashes than SMG2).

brawl is considered an "awesome game" by nintendo fans

pretty much tells you everything you need to know about how doggedly loyal they are, it really doesn't matter how ridiculous nintendo gets, they'll always buy into it.

Or opinions.

deal with it.

Nintendo, by the way. On account of them actually still existing.

You should turn on Live a Live. If you do, the first line is my answer.

and that answer is Squaresoft (plus, the rest of the game is awesome too.)

Tell that to the millions of fans the game has (of which...I'm not a huge fan of Brawl and won't defend it unless someone says it's trash).

Man what's up? I can like Brawl a lot and prefer Melee still. But most of you guys either like both games and prefer Brawl, or you guys prefer Melee by a longshot. Nuts to all of you.

Okay, how many of you guys would consider all five of these games to be undisputed classics?:

Super Mario Bros. 3
The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
Super Metroid
Super Mario Galaxy
Super Mario Galaxy 2

Those are my five favorite Nintendo games right there.

Please provide objective logic for why it is a bad game. (I'm not a huge Brawl fan myself, but I do have trouble criticizing it on an objective level).
