I'm now referring to cases like Nabbit (from NSMBU to MGWT) and Sprixie Princess (from SM3DW to MTO). May arguably count Honey Queen (from SMG to MK7) despite she appeared in two SMG titles.
I feel like something is weirdly missing from recent spinoffs, and it shows that we don't have new...
When people think Smash bros should provide chances to popular 3rd party characters whose franchises already nominate Smash bros, this always make me wonder how do the failed NIntendo allstars make the way out.
To clarify, this example doesn't indicate specific comparison between certain...
Waluigi's lack of mainstream role has always been an issue. But what kind of role should he act if an opportunity occurs?
Main player
Example: Mario (New Super Mario Bros)
I wouldn't really mind. But would still need some backstory if it wouldn't be as weird as Peach inviting Wario to her...
Yes, though it has Smash in the title, it's a topic for Mario board.
I came across several Smash discussion and find the bandwagon that "some characters didn't even deserve to be Smash fighters!" or "my wanted characters can make it if those insignificant characters can!". Sure, it'd be nice to...
*In case you ask, of course not counting alts and echos
I've been hearing suggestions about inserting more Sonic, Street Fighters and Final Fantasy characters within the same game. Just I'm very aware that such suggestion is still controversial and not well-acepted now, at least it hasn't been...
I wouldn't be surprised to see her given one spinoff playable appearance just to promote Luigi's Mansion 3 (happened to Honey Queen & Princess Sprixie in respective period), but does she has the chance for any further participation? And is she objectively a good addition? Her advantages might...
I mean, I know Toadette is the new god of the Mario franchise, but I don't feel Toadsworth is put in the best use as a pure supporting character. I don't expect him to be a player outside baseball games, but it feels like he is not even anything else now. In recent rpgs, spinoffs or mainline...
"No, not another ordinary swordman!!"
This is a typical retarded opinion how some of the Smash fans don't like the next character being from the same category of game franchise that already exists in Smash bros game lineup. So, what if Nintendo try to focus on the game genres that haven't been...
I kinda thought this topic is too trivial to be own thread and wanted to post in a general opinion thread, but still decides to post here and see how you guys think.
Of course this topic is related to Plant Piranha, the very first Mario fighter in smash bros as a very generic species, even not...
Okay, I see there have been many similiar topics that begin with "underrated characters" in the thread titles. For this one I want the topic to focus those characters who are officially "minor" (since some might say Daisy or Waluigi based on different definitions).
They need to meet the...
I know it's somewhat like Nintendo and Miyamoto's illness/realness, but I'm still surprised that only very few games released since 3DS generation can really interest me or persuade me to buy the consoles. My exceptions are the Kart games.
In marketing views, the major titles were released in...
In Mario game history, SMB games is somewhat infamous for the problem: keeping using similar damsel-in-distress stories regardless of innovation and story contradictions.
Since 3DS and WiiU come out, more and more titles we were familiar with get their sequels on 3DS and WiiU. However, is the...
It's an obvious point that there aren't many female characters in Smash bros games. In Mario spinoffs, it can be controlled with numerous main female characters. But in Smash bros or other all-star brands, it's usually difficult when dealing with male representives from all titles. Is it...
It's similar with another topic "old characters that you would like to see in a new game", but talking about the Mario chracter history.
Nowadays there are many complaints about bad rosters in Mario spinoff games, because of the improper use of main characters.
But, if the staff had a better...
I'm still curious about what you guys think of using Mario subseries characters in Smash games while other Mario series characters aren't in, or whether the staff should put in more Marioverse characters.
In reality, I love to play the subseries. But in the view of all Marioverse, I think...
Honestly I think it's not a well-arranged schedule for Nintendo staff to make the second Super Mario mainstream game in the short time, before any other regular Mario spinoffs or subseries. Still, except Luigi Mansion 2 which is a surprise, we haven't seen other new original Mario title in 3DS...
Status of the main toads (Toad, Toadsworth, Toadette) so far?
the topic is relevant with fair rosters and main game players, so I avoid some duplicate things here.
Toads could be the most "symbolic" species in Mario world, as you can see them in almost every game when Mario or Peach is...
Some complaints are contradictory if Peach must be kidnapped or there would be no main games. But is such a formula reasonable for a ruler of a kingdom to be kidnapped everday? if Mushroom kingdom is a "normal" nation.....

I heard some talkings about that they feel very long for the next main game
I don't know how to explain it for different reasons
Mario series could be one of the largest game line with many types of game under it
the "total" productivity is stunning to other companies
but as many different...
During Brawl era, many fansites had been devoting to make "texture hacks"--- changing the textures of existed characters so that in the game they look like other people, not just in a different color of clothes. This is to solve the problem that many notable characters didn't make it to the very...
Mario's "mysterious" past and status?
sometimes Mario's games are regarded as a simple series in front of other heavy plots like Metroid and Zelda
as we see a formula that a peacde ful kingdom is defeated by a fierce troop
but at last we still don't know where Mario is coming from?
about the...
Sometimes I think if we can load specific characters as Mii, it can give games more room.
by attatch game videos with their main characters as Mii model
for all games playing with Mii
main characters from one game can appear in other games or Mii-only games
minor characters can always appear in...
Seeing the recent spinoffs like Party 9 and Sochi Olympics, I start wondering if Nintendo want to keep their games sold out.
The recent spinoffs often make us feel they're monotonous in rosters. Is it? Let's take a look instead of speaking rumor:
The list contain those titles from birth...

it may be a little irony or shameful that as the only female character...

but is it really a perfect idea doing so? looking back other old games...

It occurred to me when seeing this cover.....
In my early memories of spin-offs or game covers, Princess Peach often stands for the "only" heroine of Mario members, until the era of GC when several female characters became clearly recurring. It may be owing to the essence of Mario main games...
only two characters who had been a father can be in topic :P
Donkey Kong Jr.'s father :
Well, for the very first game of the whole Mario series, we can't tell that Donkey Kong Jr.'s father kidnapped Pauline because of her beauty or proposal of marriage: since there was no OP showing the...
All-Stars in Mario main games possible?
Desktops
for such a long time playing main series of Mario games
it's making me a little strange (or bored?) for that the plot restricts the main characters
in which we can conclude in one sentence :

In Mario history, playing as species chas been a routine since Koopa Troopa being in the first Mario Kart and make a return in Double Dash. For Tennis, Koopa Troopa also appears at first. For Party, Boo comes in Mario Party 5.
Mario isn't the only series doing this. Final Fantasy also makes...
For basic changes in Tennis Open compared with the old titles, I'd refresh this topic to talk about it.
Golf and Tennis series are mainly developed by Camelot, a subteam of Nintendo. A feature of these gams different from other Mario games is that, the main characters are not Mario or his close...
Although enjoying these recently new games, some facts are still misgiving
Maybe especially "heroines" while other few heroines are left...

Heroine in DK v.s. Mbros. series.
