Bowser Jr. is one of the few Nintendo characters I wouldn't vote for against Ganondorf. How in the world does the mighty King of All Koopas have a son like that wuss? And why did he take the place of the Koopalings? THIS IS AN OUTRAGE!

Ocarina of Time- "SKANK!"

I know this is probably a joke entry, but when he does he say this? Is it one of his screams.

Oh, and Link says "Meow" in Wind Waker also.

As far as I'm concerned, it hasn't. The original Mario Party crew is more or less where it stops for me. I'm particularly pissed at Waluigi, of course, because he's in the game instead of our long time MP veteran, mother****ing Donkey Kong.

I'd totally anti-vote Toadette over Waluigi... gawd, I swear, that's gotta be one of the toughest nominations for me to stomach having to put down.

But at least it was a female slot.

From LeonhartForever Posted 8/1/2006 11:19:42 PM #136
Seriously, Mario Kart is where it's at for playing video games with a girl.

Girls are only good at MMORPGs, and that's because of two major factors. One, MMOs are horrendously easy, meaning that girls can actually play them. Two, 99% of the male MMO population cannot get laid.

"It's a girl on the internet (my only home) whose gender I cannot confirm for sure! But no matter, I will give this heavenly femme all of the useless MMO items I've spent 9000 hours of my life collecting in hope of getting her other alternate playing name! Score!"

And gamers wonder why real girls laugh at them. I don't even bother letting it be publicly known that I'm a gamer anymore.

Toadette, Petey Pihrana, Bowser Jr., all worthless and shouldn't have been created.


Petey Piranha is fine. He deserves to exist because he makes a fine boss. However, I find it more than a little odd that he gets into sports and Kart games. Why not King Bob-Omb, or King Goomba? They're better bosses ;>_>

Sorry you guys are getting a "fodder"-tastic nomination, but a lot of the females I've seen probably wouldn't fare much better.

This has jaded me from entering any Guru Contest ever, by the way. Not only are my predicting abilities far too pitiful to ever pull off a win, but I really don't feel like getting stuck with a nomination like Dubois or Queen Bean.

And I guess Petey was cool in SMS, but got lame when he started appearing in all the sports titles.

Even though I didn't enter the Guru contest, choosing Toadette of all possible characters for the Gurus to nominate is fantastic enough that I, too, will nominate her.

And I didn't even know she was in PM2 despite beating the game.

Phoenix Wright sold like crap. There's no way he beats anybody of note in a contest.

That's Capcom's fault, they make such horrible business decisions it's not even funny.
The released very limited quantities of Phoenix Wright and had to reprint the game like 3 times already because each batch sold out.

Correct me if I'm wrong about Phoenix Wright being a joke character, but I've heard people say that he is.


Phoenix Wright is full of completely serious awesomeness. i guess he is more cult character than joke character because he does have a fully fleshed out personality, but hardly anyone outside of Board 8 has played it. he's more like Luca Blight and Suikoden than CATS and Midgar Zolom.

if you won't nominate Bahamut, then nominate Jeane from Suikoden!
Mister Mario | Posted 8/1/2006 8:57:44 PM | message detail
Actually, Phoenix Wright's creator has gone on record saying that he is incredibly happy with PW's sales, and that they made a lot of profit with it.

This is, of course, because the game took like $2 to make.

Well, PW does have extremely low production values. Almost all of the game is text, and what isn't text is either still images, or character portraits, the animation of which is janky at best. The sound is awfully blippy for a DS game, too.

About girls being bad at video games... I'd have to STRONGLY disagree.

Watch this video for proof:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zLcDGwFd-Cw&search=vertex

It's an ITG video of the best female in the world, I have 65 Tri-stars, almost a 98% average, and currently ranked 7th in Canada and that's still a better score than I have with 3 misses and 2 mines to boot.

Not to mention she also got 4 on Spaceman, which is a bloody insane score.

My girlfriend is also decent at video games, found all 100 skultulas in OOT without a walkthrough, 100% Banjo Kazooie and is decent at Soul Calibur and a few other things. Just gotta find the perfect girl!
