Atomic Boo Posted April 9, 2006 Posted April 9, 2006 A couple of years back I was looking for a mario party title for GC. I was looking at Mario Party 4 + 5. I bought 5 in the end because it had Boo in it! But also because it was a newer one. Usually, your favourite characters are side characters and dont have as big an importance as you would have liked. I'm glad that Nintendo are still using King Boo as a medium priority but Id really like them to make a game with him as leading or second role. Its just that his design is genious, a cute ghost with a long tongue and a crown. It makes me smile when I see it on the screen for mario kart. Anyone else have their favourite characters they'd like to see used more?
Nintendork Posted April 9, 2006 Posted April 9, 2006 This sounds a lot like the Smash Bros. character thread.
spirited away Posted April 9, 2006 Posted April 9, 2006 This sounds a lot like the Smash Bros. character thread. The mods can do their own job if they feel it to be too similar... My favourite game character would have to be Lloyd from Tales of Symphonia, but the game character whom i would like to see more is Ness. Apart from the canned n64 game and the upcoming gba, and the japanese exclusive we havent really seen him that much. Would be awesome if they brought out an Earthbound game on Rev:hehe:
Pit-Jr Posted April 9, 2006 Posted April 9, 2006 the Amazon! Like Mario, he should be in every game, from Tetris to Metal Gear
Sprout Posted April 9, 2006 Posted April 9, 2006 Toad is in need of a major role in a game methinks. Wario's Woods and Super Mario Bros. 2 are all good and that, but since Yoshi hit the scene, I have felt that the usage of Toad in games has slowly diminished. Toadworth may have a similar effect on Toad as Yoshi did. Even Princess Peach has a game of her own, so why not Toad? Another character that needs some attention is Waluigi. Though he was only made as a tennis partner for Wario, he could at least play a starring role at some point. Maybe as the main villain in Luigi's next outing perhaps? Or perhaps a villain for a new Wrecking Crew game, as clues seem to point towards Waluigi being a construction worker (For example, the song you dance to against Waluigi in Dancing Stage Mario Mix is from the game Wecking Crew.) Hmm, Wrecking Crew Revolution...I like the sound of that :awesome:.
spirited away Posted April 9, 2006 Posted April 9, 2006 I agree about what you said about Toad Sprout. Random waluigi fact: Waluigi is not a straightforward extension of 'Wario' - despite the use of the the upside down L in a similar way to Wario's reversed W. The Japanese adjective 'Warui' means 'bad'' - hence the contraction of 'Warui' and 'Luigi' can be taken to literally mean 'evil luigi'. Similarly, one Japanese pronunciation of Waluigi - 'Waruiji - could be read as a subtle play on 'ijiwaru', or 'mean-spirited'.
Konfucius Posted April 9, 2006 Posted April 9, 2006 I'd like a new game with Machrider but more story than arcade based; maybe a combination of The Punisher and SpyHunter with shooting on and off the bike; however if he's not on the bike the shooting could be on-rails. Maybe something like that: You chase a biker gang to a house where there are kidnapped persons, once you get close to the house you fire some missles and blow a hole into the wall, then you drive through, kill some baddies and jump off the bike in a scipt sequence and slow-motion. The view then changes into ego perspective and Machrider moves on rails with the player just taking care of precise aiming, especially since the baddies hold the hostages as shields.
triforce_keeper Posted April 9, 2006 Posted April 9, 2006 Mines Link (I know im common lol) hes so cool and I like the spiritual sense of the game......its amazing.
Razz Posted April 9, 2006 Posted April 9, 2006 well my favourite characters are either samus or lara. and they both have their own franchises so im not complaining.
Atomic Boo Posted April 9, 2006 Author Posted April 9, 2006 omg you guys dont understand this thread do you? im not asking for your favourite characters, but ones you want to see more of...
Fanelia Posted April 9, 2006 Posted April 9, 2006 omg you guys dont understand this thread do you? im not asking for your favourite characters, but ones you want to see more of... What a strange topic, being called "... your favourite characters" whilst not at all being about one's favourit character. Fiercefully misguiding says I. Anyway, my favourit sidelined character (that I would like to see more of) is the unfortunate Ingo from OoT. You all remember him, he is the hardworking ranch-employee that respects parallel precision between his eyebrows and mustach. When racing and losing against "Link the horsethief", however, poor Ingo loses his mind completely, as can be concluded from his characteristic weird behavior, nonsensical remarks and redish eyes. And all that because some skirtwearing fairy (pun intended) didn't feel like walking that day. So, in short terms, I like ingo because he went plain insane.
triforce_keeper Posted April 9, 2006 Posted April 9, 2006 oh ok well I would like to see more of Ganondorf, maybe with his own game that could link up with tp lol......ok maybe not!
Fierce_LiNk Posted April 9, 2006 Posted April 9, 2006 I've edited the thread title. This seems better and gives more detail about what this thread is about.
ShadowV7 Posted April 9, 2006 Posted April 9, 2006 My Favourite is the Fairy man Tingle,he deserves more attention and you lot know it,treat the deluded man with respect, 'Tingle ,Tingle ,Kooloo-Limpah' Sorry guys I had to....
triforce_keeper Posted April 9, 2006 Posted April 9, 2006 lol he was going to have his own game on ds!.......but it got scraped and replaced with zelda:phantom hourglass lol
pedrocasilva Posted April 9, 2006 Posted April 9, 2006 I'd like to play a whole game as Saria does it seem like a lolita complex? (yes it does)
mario114 Posted April 9, 2006 Posted April 9, 2006 I think toad is so cool, manily because he's the best on mario kart super curcuit.
ShadowV7 Posted April 9, 2006 Posted April 9, 2006 Ha I heard about tingle having his own game,shame poor guy need's a brake.Wouldn't mind a game with Saria myself
triforce_keeper Posted April 9, 2006 Posted April 9, 2006 oo that would be cool actually playing as saria
Atomic Boo Posted April 9, 2006 Author Posted April 9, 2006 Hey, what about the pirahna plant. That thing's great! Its in most mario titles but its something thats just ... there. Also, that midna character of TP looks cool. Saria is nice.
mario114 Posted April 9, 2006 Posted April 9, 2006 Ha I heard about tingle having his own game,shame poor guy need's a brake.Wouldn't mind a game with Saria myself I though they cancled tingle RPG to work on zelda hour glass....right? Edit: triforce_keeper beat me to it
ShadowV7 Posted April 9, 2006 Posted April 9, 2006 lol Don't worry about,I think PH would do better than tingle don't you,they could'nt exactly call the it 'The Legend of Zelda' or 'The Legend of Tingle' *cringes then laughs*
Zero Seven Posted April 9, 2006 Posted April 9, 2006 Wolf O'Donnel, A great character IMO and would be great to see more of him in future starfox games (to hell with the rest of the starwolf team excluding Leon) and I too agree with Sprout as I always thought Toad was a great character that was never used much, sorry to all the yoshi fans but i hate yoshi with an absolute passion in terms of the character himself, I never EVER liked yoshi.... I hope Toad comes more into play (at least as a part of the story) in mario for the rev or super mario bros on DS.
ShadowV7 Posted April 9, 2006 Posted April 9, 2006 The reason you don't see much toads is because they are used repeatably by Mario to grow a little taller (well not a little a lot)
LazyBoy Posted April 9, 2006 Posted April 9, 2006 Any Soul Caliber II players here. Then you'll be familiar with my choice: Raphael. Now I know it looks like he's the kind of guy who prefers the company of men, but the he's 100% pure class. A master of fencing, he's fighting for freedom during the French Revolution. Known in the game for skillfully dogding an enemies blows withouht breaking a sweat. Anyone not yet convinced should check out his weapon demonstration, it's just too cool to describe. I pick him because I bet he's got an awesome back story that hasn't even been touched upon. His character could be explored a lot more as well. Apart from that, what was the last time you got to use a rapier in an adventure game. He needs his own game.
