Favorite Nintendo Character

[Skald]

This used to be a pretty easy question for me to answer, back in the day I would have said 'Mega Man' with out hesitation, but with the way Capcom has been treating him lately...

You can state which Mega Man you want, by specifying the name of the game your favorite appears in. No need to take newer games into account!

I liked Mega Man II the best

Dr. Wily's Castle 1 was the best song in the game

I like Link because he is left handed

I think that there is some inconsistency with his dominant hand. I believe that in the original and Skyward Sword he is right handed

a.) In the original, he is left handed.



2.) You do know that it's not the same person in all the games, right? Each Link is a different person. They all wear green, are Hylian, are the heroes of Hyrule, most fight Ganon in some form, and nearly all are left-handed, but it's all different Links, technically.

Why yes, this DOES make semantics a huge thing with Link!

Man, you'd think either a lot more, or lot less, parents in Hyrule would go around naming their kid "Link"...

I'm quite tempted to sig this.

I know that they are all different Links, but how they are different is up to debate, there are many theories.

So maybe they are still the same while at the same time different (X-Files Music)

I want to believe.

I was under the impression Link got his handedness switched to fit the Wii, because IRL most people are right-handed.

[KillingAScarab]

I vote F: Other. Specifically, Samus Aran.

This is correct. It is most notable in the Wii version of Twilight Princess, as they achieved this by mirroring everything in the world. Aside from making dungeons flipped on East-West axis compared to the GameCube version, this also means everyone else in Hyrule is left-handed and Link is the only righty. Check out the handedness of the Hyrule Castle guards.

The things I learn from reading Awkward Zombie comics and forums!

Katie, author and artist of the comic, stated:

Oh, and because people keep ragging on me for it: yes, I draw Midna with her left eye covered.
Perhaps you commoners don't know it, but the Wii version of Twilight Princess was completely flipped so that Link could be righthanded. All for you starboard freaks. This means that everything in the game is mirrored; every other character in the game is lefthanded, Hyrule is geographically lopsided, Midna's helmet is covering her other eye, blah blah blah.

Some people may logically conclude "Okay, so just draw it that way", but no! The GameCube version is still unmirrored, and Link remains lefthanded in SSB: Brawl and all concept art.

I will continue to draw them as they were originally drawn, and I will also continue to overimplement italics.

Meta Knight! Meta Knight! Is there anything about him that isn't the coolest thing ever? His sword! His mask! His airship! His theme! His voice!
He's the best character in Brawl for a reason. They needed to accurately represent just how excellent he is.

He had the best Subspace Emissary entrance.

He has also gotten a lot cooler over the years, when I played Kirby's Adventure for the NES, he was okay, but now, he is easily my favorite Kirby character.

Sorry Waddle-Dee, but you don't even give me powers when I eat you

Seriously, I love his character in the Kirby games.

Plus it's fun to be a total bumhole in Smash Bros.

If you want to be a bumhole is Smash Bros., you should play Brawl and pick Ice Climbers

[JohnnyDavids13]

No doubt A. I loved all those kinds of games.

This explains why Captain Falcon is on the list instead of Chunky Goroh.

Mario. The first game character I saw with my eyes at a relative's house, the first video game I played.

My dad had a NES ever since I was three, but when I was 5, and then old enough to understand how to use the thing, the first three Super Mario Bros. games were the first three games I played. They were my favorite.

My other one that I played a lot was Gauntlet II, I thought that there was an end, so I tried to get there. In the end, I only reached level 40 on a good day.

My favorite version of Kirby: UFO Kirby

very rare, but very overpowered

Actually, Metaknight is ranked higher on the bumhole tier list than ice climbers for brawl. He is so good I'm pretty sure he is in his own ranking.



Also Kirby is my favourite.
