Forums - Nintendo Discussion - I Think We Are Due To See A New Antagonist In The Super Mario Franchise

IxisNaugus on 30 June 2010

Back in my day, Bowser got the recognition he deserved! Facing Bowser in that final castle was the ultimate challenge that most mortals dared not even imagine, many had not the skill required to even reach those final worlds, let alone be graced by the presence of our Koopa overlord. Now? I don't know. People seem to be calling for more Dark characters and Shadow Queens and whatnot. You're all traitors i tell you! If it were up to me, I would have you all thrown in the dungeons till you all learned to fear the name Bowser once again!

Don't mind the avatar guys, it has no influence on my judgment whatsoever ;)



How technical is your game?

You can make Waluigi useful for something outside a sports/party game for once.

Most useless lame character in the Mario franchise so far.

Marios father?

 

i dk, how about DON'T change it.



“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

Or a plumber's worst nightmare:

a 350 lb dude who just ate a sack full of taco bell tacos.



I am a Gauntlet Adventurer.

I strive to improve my living conditions by hoarding gold, food, and sometimes keys and potions. I love adventure, fighting, and particularly winning - especially when there's a prize at stake. I occasionally get lost inside buildings and can't find the exit. I need food badly. What Video Game Character Are You?

Mecha-bowser??



In the wilderness we go alone with our new knowledge and strength.

I am surprised that no one has mentioned Weegee, at least members of VGChartz are mature!

My wish.

How about "New Super Mario and Sonic" where two most iconic platformers team up to fight the combined forces of their respective rogues gallery?

We need a Shadow Queen revival.


WAAAAAAAAAAAAY TOO SCARY!!!! O_O

Seriously, She was great in TTYD, but I believe the mario universe to be light-hearted (except the RPG/Paper Mario's) so the new antagonist needs to post no serious threat and have lots of humor.



WHO IS JESUS REALLY?

Which would mean that Bowser and Dr. Robotnik would form a tag-team as well?
