Gaming Characters That Should Have Been Put Out to Pasture Long Ago

He really doesn't though, Nintendo characters have loads of charm to them & that's something that for me Sonic lacks completely.

C'rect

Mind you, if you'd only played Other M, you'd think Samus was a terrible stereotype and would probably feel the same.

Daisy. She's far too shouty and since Rosalina came along she's become even more pointless.

There are a surprising number of videos/comics/etc. supporting Daisy over Rosalina, commenting on how this newcomer has usurped her and landed spots in e.g. Smash Bros.  What these fail to recognise is that Rosalina is a different and interesting character, while Daisy is almost a palette-swap of Peach with a more annoying voice.

Well we've never been given a reason to care about her with her just being "Luigi's Princess" but I think Luigi would be better served not to have his own female counterpart as he's much better suited to playing the other brother role.

I know I am backtracking here but I have to say that for me, and perhaps many others, Captain Falcon is more closely tied to Smash bros than F-Zero. This may not seem like it makes sense, I just think his signature moves and taunts (Show me ya moves!) are now at a higher recognized platform than F-Zero. Especially now since Mario Kart has completely eclipsed it in terms of popularity.

No matter what happens to F-Zero, the falcon will be in smash. I think its fair to say that it has had this effect on other characters, most notably Jigglypuff and Marth.

I'd disagree with Marth - he's always been the poster boy for Fire Emblem. Hell, he's mentioned a lot in Awakening.

I think it is high time EA stopped giving us the yearly updates with the same old characters in their FIFA games especially when Konami show them off better.

I played the PES2015 demo and the players did look better but seem to have a bit of a plastic look to them, but I did enjoy the demo more then FIFA's demo. But only thing most people I know whom buy football games will buy FIFA so for online play FIFA might be the better option.

But it is true on the year update date bit with the Wii, 3DS & VITA versions of FIFA15.

I would have to agree with Vido on Marth Jay, he is the poster boy of Fire Emblem that is true but in till Melee it was a bit of obscure series to us in the west and him being in smash I think helped the series. So when the GBA game came out people might of gone ohh this is what Marth is from let's give it a go.

Tell you what though, fifa 15 has amazing grass. It looks like it is loaded with rupees.

Look who's back well kinda

So... that's just a Project Spark publication then? If so... Rare, you suck.

Yes but you can play episode's I guess like telltales but using Project Spark to do it.

Rare has very little to do with it apart from over seeing the use of there character.
