LL, of course programming AI is difficult. Right now I'm making a game with a friend and he's working real hard trying to get the AI right. But EAD is not just a couple of college kids making an experimental game. They're THE BIGGEST developer on planet earth. They can handle the task of creating AI for the battle arenas! If Rare can do it, if Midway can do it, then why can't Nintendo?? I don't understand that logic. Nintendo has no excuse for this other than laziness and/or simple indifference. This has become a very big problem for Nintendo lately. They're just not willing to do as much as other developers are. Do you think F-Zero GX would have had 16:9 support, high-quality FMV, and a great story mode if EAD had made it? I seriously doubt it. EAD is still my favorite developer, but they really need to make more of an effort with certain aspects of their games.
