Ness is the man. Me and my friends spent countless hours on this game when it first came out (although our new obsessions are the Naruto games for Gamecube and PS2). Hell, we even dust off the N64 version sometimes. DK I think is the most annoying character to play against, especially if the one controlling him is cheesy. (That usually leads to real life blows
) This is an easy game (even my 6 year old nephew can regularly beat some of my friends) yet the amount of skill it takes for someone to use some of the characters balances this. Now only if they would ever bring the Naruto games out in English everyone could taste the 4player ninja goodness.
