KOTOR II... yes, that is a top X-Box game. But it's getting a just about simultaneous PC release so that doesn't really count as any kind of exclusive... :)
I'm looking forward to console gamers discovering the Black Isle (erm, Obsidian, but it's all Black Isle people...) is just as good at RPGs as Bioware. The unfortunate part is that it doesn't come until Black Isle is dead and Interplay moribund. :(
IGN. They are stupid. But go to Gamespy and you'll see how IGN can be made on occasion to look good. Anyone else recall their Mario vs Donkey Kong review? :S But still, stuff like this does NOT make them look good... Halo vs SSBM is not the best possible comparison by any means.
DJ: Arcade SSB would be pretty cool, wouldn't it... DS? I don't know how it'd use the touchscreen or double screens, but wireless multiplay would be cool. Though that connects to online... and the Game Boy. Why hasn't there been a GB SSB game yet? It's not like it has some huge technical barrier or something! There should have been at least one by now, I think.
Mario Party. Yeah, I kind of feel similarly. I wouldn't mind having one of them. The minigames in Kirby 64 are in that style and I definitely enjoy that game (well, the fruit collection one stinks, but Hundred Yard Hop is more fun than it should be to play in multiplayer mode...). But there are six now, and they keep making them, so I kind of have thought that I'll wait for the next one or something like that... though if I get one it probably should be N64. I still only have three NGC controllers, and one of them doesn't work right... (that's also why I have played SSB for N64, BTW -- 4 player mode. Or even three.)
My biggest question for IGN really is why we need another SSB. I just don't think the reasons are there. Not without online (or a Game Boy/DS release). Nintendo has more than enough franchises that they don't need to worry that much about one game... yes, Halo 2 will be huge. But it'll be huge no matter what Nintendo does and what they should do is release great games to go against it. Like the lineup they're already working on, perhaps. :)
