I read through the IGN review for Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

I think that it is a fairly level-headed review, except for one fact. The reviewers (Cassamassina and Bozon) comment on how there should be more third-party characters. I think it is unfair to want a first-party game to have a huge selection of third-party characters. Otherwise, what is the point? Why not criticize Capcom or Square Enix for not having their own Brawl-esque fighter instead of “tut-tutting” Nintendo for not including your favourite game character?

I wanted Isaac and Little Mac to be playable. That being said, I’m not going to cite their absence as a flaw in the game. It has an amazing line up. What more do people want? If Nintendo included everyone’s character on everyone’s wishlist, they would never finish Brawl.

Let it be Cassa… and Bozon. Let it be. Criticize the Subspace Emissary all you wish. But leave the roster be.
