Neglected characters - - do they deserve the spotlight?

Nintendo can think up of something! They always do!

I suppose that's ture. I had once posted in the Game Ideas fourm a Mario based RTS game going into great detail about the kind of units the Mushroom Kingdom would have. Then they released Paper Mario & I found out there was only a small number of clock wearing Toads holding spears. Peach better start investing more coins in the military.

The only problem in your logic is that Mario is the ESTABLISHED main hero. We all know and expect Mario to be the central character in just about every game that comes out in his universe.

Therefore, it IS more valid to have Mario trying to save Peach and defeat Bowser in most of the games. It's the ESTABLISHED character-roles.

I agree, there is a reason why Neglected characters are neglected.

I think Yoshi should have another game, but better than Yoshi's story and for the gamecube.


Dance DK, dance!!

Donkey Kong Jr

Too early in the series. (only the second game, in fact)

I don't see it as boring. We've already got Wario, Yoshi, and Luigi branching off occasionally. No need to go much further than that. There has to be some point of limitation where you say, "All right, who REALLY wants to play as a dainty princess when we could play as a superhero plumber?".

Besides, Mario's character offers the most potential for growth and originality. That's the goal of video games, people.

There has to be some point of limitation huh? Well it's that kind of closed minded thinking that is ruining today's video games.

I think there should be another RPG, but better than Paper Mario. It should be like Final Fantasy where you can find more than 6 people and accumulate soldiers such as Goombas

there should be an Final Fantasy type Mario where you accululate Goombas to be soldiers

There should be a Mario/Final Fantasy type game where you accumulate Goombas as soldiers

Bring back the Koopa Kids!

They COULD have their own games, but they would probably bomb.

I say they should make a new game: Super Princesses
Like Super Mario Bros, but with Peach, Daisy and totally different gameplay. So nothing like Super Mario Bros.

I like the Final Fanasty/Mario RPG idea but Chain Chomps instead of Goomba's.
