Favourite Video Game Characters

[Blademaster]

I was obsessed with Sonic when I was a youngster, but then again, weren't we all!? Can't stand the new games though, really. They lost MY support when they changed Robotnik's name to Eggman. LAAAME.

Abandoning a cherished childhood hero over a name change? Tsk-tsk, very shallow...

Actually, Dr. Eggman's name was always 'Eggman' in Japan. But in a similar fuck-up to calling Princess Peach 'Toadstool' for nearly ten years, Nintendo of America decided to change the not-so-good Doc's name. Much like calling Peach 'Toadstool' and Bowser 'King Koopa,' the idea was finally revoked.

But to be fair, Robotnik was undoubtedly the best of Ivo's 'original' names. Not really saying much when you're forced to compare it with such atrocities as 'Nogoodnik' and 'Kintobor,' but c'est la vie.

And the less said about 'Julian' the better.

I always wondered why the Princess' name kept changing. So, how long until we're calling Toad 'Kinopio'?

You brought him up, not me. >>

Thankfully, Kinopio will likely never happen. If it didn't happen in SMRPG - where Kamek was 'Magikoopa,' Yoshi's Island was 'Yo'ster Isle,' and Parakoopas were 'Sky Troopas,' amongst countless other lovely Engrish transrations - it ain't gonna happen. Ever.

...We hope.

Well of course, that wasn't the ONLY reason, lol! All the extra new characters annoy me. And Tails isn't as awesome as he used to be in the comics, but there you go. I was always slightly more of a Tails fan, I think.

[Drago]

Tails was pimpin' back in the day. Everyone wanted a piece of him and why not, HE FLEW!! Well alright, in Sonic 2 he was just on an amusing suicide mission, but by 3 he had gotten his fuzzy ass into gear.

Kamek is Magikoopa. That is to say, an entity among Magikoopas. Unless of course you're referring to the one specific Magikoopa that was in Bowser's Keep, in which case this comment is cheerfully withdrawn. (Been a while since I played SMRPG... were there any other Magikoopas?)

No. Commence self-owning in three, two, one...

COMMENT CHEERFULLY WITHDRAWN.

Specificity, son. Referring to the Japanese equivalent? It'd be Kamekku anyhow.

[Weasel Overlord]

Oops, I forgot there was an R in it. Can be forgiven since the last time I READ the comics was when I was like... oh god, 6? Maybe. I'd still have them all too, if my mother hadn't used them to wrap up plates when we moved house *scowls* damn her.

HAHAHA TRUE, OH SO TRUE!! I bummed Tails. OR should I say MILES POWERS!? Hahahahaa *runs away*

*pops back in momentarily* that comic was hilarious, by the way. XD

[Austrian ViceMaster Alex]

There are some video game characters I fancy, most because they were the first I came across when I was young.

There's Luigi from the SMB series. I always preferred him over Mario as he was kind of the underdog and his green/white matches the colors of my favorite soccer club.

Then there's Birdo. For some reason I just love this big-snouted pinky, she's my favorite pick in any Mario sports game.

I also like Bowser cause he's such a cute and funny dork in the Paper Mario series. He's also one my favorites in Mario Kart.

Other characters I like are Link, Samus Aran, Phoenix Wright, MegaMan, Simon Belmont and the hero McDohl from the Suikoden series.

No, you should say 'Miles Prower.'

Kamek was also in Yoshi's Island as the Magikoopa that was sent to steal Baby Mario and Luigi. You also had to deal with him as he either made the bosses grow, or made Yoshi shrink (Prince Froggy or whatever it was). The only other Magikoopa that I remember was Kammy from Paper Mario.

My favorites? I love Yoshi. He's my favorite character in Brawl and second favorite in Mario Kart (Mario's first). I played Yoshi's Story because I love Yoshi. He was my favorite partner in Paper Mario 2. He's cute and energetic and so colorful! *squeals in excitement*

Um...Shadow in Sonic Adventure 2. Every other game couldn't do him justice.

Riku and Numbers II, VI, VIII, IX, and X in Kingdom Hearts 2. Especially VIII. Axel was hot.

Kazooie the Red Crested Breegull from the Banjo-Kazooie games. One of the funniest characters I played.

Midna from Twilight Princess. A nice change from the fairies. I also liked Zant. Insane villains intrigue me.

And while we're at it, I say Kamek was a fantastic character. This whiny little coward who trembled at Bowser's every whim, with the occasional 'tehehe'... I was sad how he just slipped into obscurity, though Mario & Luigi did bring him back, particularly in the sequel, one of its only saving graces, might I say.

Aye, Kamek was a character with too much untapped potential. You never even FOUGHT him directly (Unless that happened in Yoshi's Island DS, which I never played.).

Oh, well. At least he isn't totally dead yet. The DS seems to be his new hangout, and there's also that Magikoopa at the start of Super Mario Galaxy that makes Mario his bitch (I don't care what any of you say - that WAS Kamek! None of the other Magikoopa's talked and had the power to launch insane "WAAAAAAAAAAAAAUGH...!!!!"-accompanied throw-you-across-the-county-line magic blasts.)...
