Oh wow, at last one memory that is not from emulation. No this one I played it on the gamecube.
Oh the gamecube controler... I'm also a digimon fan, and there is not A LOT of good digimon game around. We digimon fan are just happy with what we get, lol. What about this game ? Well it's a smash bros clone. But a good one (even if not as good) and one that do not want to be a 100% clone of it.
Here, there's no smash : the goal is not to send the enemy to the other edge of the map (well, you can and it work) but the most useful way to beat your opponent is to destroy his life bar like a basic fighting games, but just like in smash, you can move a lot around the map, there's power ups around it. And more importantly since it's a digimon game : your digimons can evolve, changing their entire moves (and upgarding them). And no, they don't evolve just once, really cool in the end.
You beat your opponent, you collect the digi eggs ( or exp whatever, they looked like eggs) your opponent dropped, do it again, and digivolve when you can. Can't say balance is 100% perfect, but it was still fun.
