More Random Questions

Stealing the idea from Jeff (and because I'm doing this post last-minute), here are some more food-for-thought thoughts with games in mind...

In Pokemon, Team Rocket (and their multiple re-iterations with different names) are the worlds biggest group of thieves and villains, yet a 10 year old boy defeats them in a pokemon battle and suddenly everything is over? I mean, if they were in fact gangsters, why didn't they just beat up the boy and steal his poke's?

Does Kirby ever get indigestion?

In Katamari Damacy you pretty much roll up the entire world at the end so that the King of the Cosmos can recreate the stars... that he destroyed. Yet, there are other Katamari games. If the King used the Earth to re-create the Stars, what did he use to recreate the Earth?

Will there ever be a FINAL Final Fantasy? (I don't care how many times that's been stated, there are a boat load of FF games).

In Persona, you use an Evoker to bring out your Persona (a monster based on the Tarot... I think), and the evoker is shaped like a gun... why? And who came up with shooting yourself in the head to make a monster pop out?

In Soul Calibur 2, Siegfried and Nightmare are still the same person, and his ending states that he is guarding the Sword. In Soul Calibur 3, they are separated, and you see Sieg stabbing Soul Edge with the Soul Calibur sword... Non-Canon?

And Finally...In Super Mario Bros., Mario goes through worlds and defeats Bowser 8 times in an effort to save Princess Toadstool, but only in the last castle does he actually rescue her. In the others, it's Toad, the lovable midget servant of the Castle. In the game, you could use warp pipes and get to the last World, essentially skipping all but the last castle...Does Toad ever get rescued afterwards? Is he set free when Bowser is destroyed for once and for all? OR (and most likely) is Mario just too lazy to go back and free them?


This week saw the release of NHL 11 (I already ranted about this for Madden, just copy and paste that here... ), Spiderman: Shattered Dimensions, and Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep. I'm not a big Activision guy... maybe I'll actually post why next time? See ya then, Party Peoples...
