Alright so a lot of the people on my roster no longer play. That is very unfortunate but I've learned to move on. So basically I'm asking you, my friends, to give me your FCs so that I can play you. My grand plan is to fill my roster full with 60 friends or whatever then there should always or most of the time be somebody to play. So if you play Smash bros online frequently or even occasionally give me your FC so that we can play sometime. I'm not really doing the whole rating thing anymore, I just never change my header. ^_^;

So if you play atleast a decent amount, let us exchange. My FC is in my header and my name will be M.F. I only play on weekend nights though so only friday and saturday but nonetheless I'm sure there will be people to brawl. So thank you and FCs please. I get lonely. ; -;

Well I beat the heck out of Spirit Tracks. I beat the game in four days flat and I had to restrain myself from beating it in the first 2. XD The game isn't neccessarily short but there wasn't enough dungeon in it for me. Not that it had to have 8 dungeons it's just the dungeons were sort of short like its predecessor. Not as linear thankfully but still short. In any case I was satisfied witht the ending for the most part. The final boss part reminds me of.... well you can find out for yourself. It was much tougher that PH's final boss thankfully and despite GSs bashing it I think the difficulty was actually ramped up a bit this time around. The final part of the Spirit Tower made me feel like jumping off a cliff.... well that is until I discovered the other magic powerz of the whip. Defeating demon trains made me happy because the frustrated me to no end when they were roaming the lands. XD

Well I'm gonna talk about the ending now so for those of you who haven't beat it or wish to not spoil the ending for yourselves I suggest you don't read between the spoilers.

*SPOILER BEGINS*

Alright so the final battle was alright. Malladus almost seemed like a sidekick though and Cole was the real villain imo. Cole is doing all of this evil junk and Malladus makes this brief epic end of game battle appearance. It's sort of similar to TP except Cole was already insane lol. The Demon train was a fun battle, puppet Zelda was tough and annoying but overall somewhat enjoyable. I though it was hilarious that Cole persistently launched electrical mice at Zelda. Guess he knew her weakness. Oops.

Malladus in Cole's body was not enjoyable at first. The very first part was pretty stupid, defend Zelda from fireballs. It seemed like it was put in there to tag a little more time into the "epic final battle". It was for the most part senseless taping and I could have done without it. However the final part was the most satisfying part of the battle. It reminded me of of two battles. It reminded me of a Ganon battle from either TP or OoT combined with the Ganondorf battle of WW. It was probably the easiest of the four stages of Malladus but the most thought out and creative and honestly difficulty just doesn't triumph over that.

Now to discuss the ending. OMG ZELDA AND LINK HOLD HANDS. *whistles* Nintendo took it a step farther right thar. Not to say I didn't see it coming. By the end of the game the strength of the young couple is powerful and you're just thinking "gosh something is going to happen". The reason why I say Nintendo took it a step farther is because I believe this probably triumphs over a kiss on the cheek. I mean when you think about it that could be a sign of just gratitude. The holding hands thing in my opinion signals more of a relationship especially when occuring between seperate genders. A kiss on the cheek is just meh. I'm sorta surprised Nintendo did it too. It seems like in the past they have innitially just avoided the whole Link x Zelda or Mario x Peach thing and just left you to speculate.They always want to keep a more light hearted feel to their games. Now I could see it happening in a more realistic Zelda with a more mature theme but in the toon link games they seem to keep it as nice and easy as they can. Then again Zelda and Byrne both technically die (Byrne explodes and Cole laughs which frankly creeped me out) so even the toon link games are approaching mature. So to sum it up Nintendo seems to be granting some fan appeal by confirming what we had previously speculated even in something as small as holding hands. It wasn't any kiss on the lips but it certainly did help confirm speculation.

Now was the ending believable? I thought so. Did you guys? I mean it seems like at first they were just doing this whole thing to get it over with and they kept to that but secretly missed eachother. I thought PH had a nice ending too. The DS Zeldas seemed to have the most pleasing endings to me next to OoT or MM. So needless to say I felt a sense of accomplishment with the words "THE END" appeared on my screen.

*SPOILER ENDS*

In other news I beat N.O.V.A. If you don't know what that is chances are you don't have an iTouch or iPhone and/or you don't play games on it. Anyways I'll have reviews for both of those games up sometime soon. And that means in the next month. XD

Well that's it for this blog I guess I'll see you later.

I GOT ZELDA SPIRIT

TRACKS OMFG I'M SO


HAPPY I COULD CRY AND-

Oh.... it's christmas aswell. In other news I got spirit tracks for christmas yesterday and shortly after stuck my nose into the game. Needless to say after not having a new Zelda game for 2 years I continually played it. So far I would put this game on the higher end of the Zelda spectrum or whatever. I mean it's kinda like Phantom Hourglass minus the annoyingness of a backtracking temple and the super linear temples. I mean these ones are still linear but not near as linear as the last one. In any case I'm 3 temples through the game which is I don't know how far through. Normally there are 6 or 7 temples in a Zelda game but I don't know how many there are in this game. It may have only 4 or 5 yimeples like a select few Zelda games. Anybody mind telling me how many temples there are?

Anyways so far I like the game. The puzzles are even more fantastic then the last game. I mean so far I've only seen three items but all of the items have been put to good use. The boomerang was used in a way I've never seen before the whip was kind of meh control wise and unresponsive occasionally especially duing the boss but otherwise it made for some good puzzles and interesting ones too (THROWING KNIVES MUHAHAHAHA). The wind thingy majiger was nice too but reminded me of something from an older Zelda game.... (gust jar). My favorite part though is surprisingly the spirit tower. It has by far the trickiest puzzles and is the hardest portion of the game. The game still lacks difficulty but atleast this section was okay. The phantom is quite a nice addition it can create some very nice puzzles.

My least favorite part would have to be the train rides. They are much better than the boat was but my gosh do the last forever. It can be very dissapointing when you encounter a demon train and have to restart aswell. Also the game seems to like to extend itself with side quests. It took my about an hour to get to the ocean temple even without the spirit temple involved. There was simply too much to do and it got annoying after a while. Maybe I'm just slow but I don't think I really slacked.

Anyways for Christmas I got a new HD TV. Now I really hope I get a PS3. I mean all I have is a Wii. Although I actually noticed that HD doesn't really look that bad on the Wii. I thought the Wii wasn't an HD console... maybe I took that into the wrong context. I also got M&L Bowser's Inside Story, Empires Total War, Wii Sports Resort and that's about it. I of course haven't played any of the others because I have been obsessed beyond belief with my ST. Well that's just about it. See you later.

Currently a Spirit Tracks addict, frogloe.... oh and merry christmas. *turns on DS*
