[Event] 30 Days of Nintendo

[Juno]

EvilChameleon approached me back in December with this idea - so sorry it took so long!

​

If you're new to these 30 Days events, it's pretty simple - every day, a new topic will be discussed, and all you gotta do is drop by and answer the question of the day however you like. Take a look at our last one right here for a better idea of how this works, if you'd like.

You are always welcome to revisit past questions, so don't worry if you miss some.

Day 1 starts on February 14, 2019, and without further ado...​

Who is your favorite Nintendo character?

Isabelle is far and away the best and cutest hee hee <3

 

[EC]

Oh hey, cool to see this!

1.) Who is your favorite Nintendo character?

Even though I haven't played one of his games in quite some time, it's always Kirby.

 

[alisaie]

1. Who is your favorite Nintendo character?

I actually have to say that it's a toss -up between Link, Kirby, and Isabelle!

 

[CodeHelmet]

My answers below!

Spoiler:

Favorite Nintendo Character? Spaceballs... I don't know whom to pick. I suppose if I had a gun to my head to make a decision, it'd probably be Saria from LoZ. Forever a little girl due to being a Kokiri but wise beyond her years. Forest Sage and being the owner of the best Zelda Track to date also helps.
Favorite Nintendo Franchise? Easily Zelda for that one. Pokemon and Super Mario Brothers are up there but Zelda takes the prize.
Favorite Nintendo Console? Going to have to go with N64. Ocarina of Time anyone?
What was your first Nintendo Console? Nintendo Entertainment System, aka NES.
Team Peach or Team Daisy? Team Peach
Do you have cool Nintendo Merchandise or collectibles? Sadly no. I should go visit [user]Fairy[/user] when she has to sell some to make room for more.
If you have a Switch, are you pleased with your purchase so far? Haven't bought one.
What game would you like to see ported to the Switch? Hmm honestly, I don't know. Most franchises I like have a title on it already.
If you could dedicate a Nintendo Direct to one upcoming game, what would it be? Easily the Generation 8 Pokemon game.
Do you play Smash Brothers? If so, who do you main? I haven't played Smash since N64 and my main back then was Link with some time on Pikachu.
What Sport would you like to see Mario and the crew take on next? I know its not big in Japan but honestly I'd love to see NFL/Football taken up by them. Its the biggest sport in the USA and I'd love to have a new form of Tecmo Bowl lol.
Have you ever played a 50 Turn Game of Mario Party? No I have not.
If you could make another BotW style game for another Franchise, which would you choose? That's a toughie but I think I'd choose Star Fox or Fox McCloud. Goes around kicking butt while slowly upgrading his Ship.
What country would you like to see Pokemon tackle next as a region? Australia comes to mind, as does England. Either of them would work I think.
Have you played Animal Crossing and if not, will you? Haven't played it and probably won't. Just doesn't appeal to me I suppose.
Favorite Soundtrack from a Nintendo Game? Overall collection would probably be ALBW. Its based on ALttP but with a much improved soundtrack.
Favorite Song? Saria's Song from Ocarina of Time. While I love ALBW, OoT has nostalgia bias. I'd love to see Legend of Hilda game at some point LOL
Least Favorite Nintendo Franchise? Don't really have one to be honest.
Nintendo Character you can't stand? A character I hate? King Zora lol. Lazy good for nothing. So what if you give me a Zora Tunic...
Any lesser known games/franchises that deserve more love? Eh haven't really played anything besides the big ones.
Favorite Spin-offs? Yoshi comes to mind and pick a Yoshi game lol.
Any character that you want to see made into a Spin-off that doesn't already have one? Easily Hilda and/or Ravio from ALBW. Seriously, a Legend of Hilda would totally work I think.
What Cross-over game would you like to see in the future? Eh not really a fan of Cross-overs.
Thoughts on Silent Protagonists and which one has a strong presence despite not saying much? Silent Protagonists follow the mantra of "Actions speak louder than words". No one does this better than Link who doesn't talk due to the burden placed upon him.
Favorite Mario Kart Track? Considering I played gobs of MK when I was visiting family this past X-Mas, I'd have to say Moo Moo Meadows, if only because my nieces made me race there like 30 effing times... *kill me now*
Any character, area or scene in a Nintendo game ever given you the chills? I've never been a fan of horror/death and I've always disliked Shadow Temple/The Well in Ocarina of Time for it. Undead enemies combined with Dead Hand(seriously that thing is just plain sickening) make it a tad uncomfortable every time I wade through it.
Favorite Nintendo Villain? Got to go with Ganon here.
Favorite Sidekick? Medli in LoZ:Windwaker. Granted she's not with you the entire game but she does help you in the Earth Temple. Also must give props to Midna in TP. She's more of a Sidekick than any character in Zelda Franchise but as I've noted before, I don't like Shadow/Horror all that much and unfortunately she falls into that category even though her humor or levity is a breath of fresh air.
If you could live in any Nintendo world, where would it be and why? Oh boy... I'd actually want to live in Snowpoint City in Sinnoh Region.

 

[thedestinedblade]

1. Who is your favorite Nintendo character?

Kyle Hyde is one my favorite fictional characters in anything ever. He's this unmotivated, down-on-his-luck salesman who's grouchiness contrasts excellently with the supporting casts of both Hotel Dusk and Last Window (both on the DS) Such a shame the company went bankrupt because I'd love to see a another game with him.

Also Rebecca, who is best Fire Emblem girl. :nod:

 

[EC]

2.) What is your favorite Nintendo franchise?

It's Pokemon. I have just about every game in the franchise. No other Nintendo series comes close to the playtime I have in it.

 

[Hyzenthlay]

(Why do I always partake in these things when I'm so indecisive??)

1. Who is your favourite Nintendo character?

I seem to always gravitate toward side-characters from Zelda, so Linkle, Ravio, Linebeck, Groose, Ghirahim etc. all make the list! I'm certain I have forgotten more, so I'll probably edit this later.

2. What is your favourite Nintendo franchise?

The Legend of Zelda, easily! Then Pokémon, Smash Bros., Mario Kart, Animal Crossing, that kind of thing—I just love Nintendo games in general!

 

[Nah]

1) Who is your favorite Nintendo character?

picking a single favorite is hard

2) What is your favorite Nintendo franchise?

probably Fire Emblem

 

[simone1234]

1) Who is your favorite Nintendo character?

Maybe more than 1, but if i must choose i think Link.


2) What is your favorite Nintendo franchise?

Pokemon Yellow, also Xenoblade is nice and some others, but since i must choose 1 i go for Pokemon.

 

[alisaie]

2) What is your favorite Nintendo franchise?

Pokemon, definitely. Besides that I'd have to say Zelda although I need to play more games. And although it's technically Capcom I'll also throw in Ace Attorney since they've all been on Nintendo consoles/handheld.

 

[Homeskulled Kid]

I think I'm on day three but I am genuinely incompetent at math. Have pity - I'm basically Irish, though that is completely irrelevant to everything.

Who is your favourite Nintendo character?

They come as a pair, really. Well, it's these bastards.

Spoiler:

Zubora and Gabora from Majora's Mask. They're lovely, sure enough, though my mind is screaming 'swap them out' with Sheik, Kid Zelda, Malon or someone like that. Indecision reigns supreme in my pea of a mind.

What is your favourite Nintendo franchise?

The Legend of Zelda, matched closely by Super Smash Brothers and Mario Kart. For me it's nostalgia over quality every time, though luckily Nintendo deals in both.

What is your favourite Nintendo console?

Nintendo 64. The Wii and Gamecube were dandy, sure enough, but they do not mirror the divinity of the N64 - not one jot. Even if the controller was the product of a diehard sadist, what of it, I proclaim jauntily?! At least the sadist had the good sense to make colourful buttons.

 

[Nah]

3) What is your favorite Nintendo console?

idk, the Gamecube I guess

edit: ah, right, the 3DS is good shit too

 

[Hyzenthlay]

3. What is your favourite Nintendo console?

They're all tied, but the Wii, 3DS, DSi, Nintendo 64 and GameCube are my absolute favourite consoles!

 

[EC]

3.) What is your favorite Nintendo console?

It's still the GameCube, but the Switch is really gaining ground, and fast.

 

[simone1234]

3.) What is your favorite Nintendo console?

I would say Nintendo Switch... But because they added the function ''paytoplayonline'' i lost some interest.

I think the 3ds is for now my favorit of nintendo.

 

[alisaie]

4. What is your favorite Nintendo console?
Gamecube! Then I'd have to say the Switch and the 3DS, and I kinda also wanna say the SP because I've had a lot of good times on mine.

 

[LuluRina]

Who is your favourite Nintendo character?
This is a hard one... but I would have to say Luigi. IDK, there's something about him that I really like...
What is your favourite Nintendo franchise?
Pokemon.... duh
What is your favourite Nintendo console?
The 3ds... I tend to go on there the most tbh

 

[Nah]

4) What was your first Nintendo console?

A Gameboy Color, which was my first gaming device ever.

 

[Janp]

1. Who is your favorite Nintendo character?
I honestly don't know. Luigi, maybe?

2. What is your favorite Nintendo franchise?
Mario & Luigi and Luigi's Mansion.

3. What was your first Nintendo console?
Game Boy Micro. Yeah, that was a thing.

4. What is your favorite Nintendo console?
3DS. It has such a big and wide library. It's a shame Nintendo is letting it silently die.
