Of course, Nintendo makes some of their female characters sexy by intention. If Nintendo wouldn't want Zamus to be sexy, they could have made her suit tight, but not skin tight. And Peach could do kick attacks instead of butt attacks. And most girls in Fire Emblem shows a lot of skin while the males doesn't. And neither Krystal or Peach needed to wear thongs. It was all intentional by Nintendo.

My point is that whatever preferences you may have, and even if you look at things differently, it's impossible to say that, for example, Nintendo didn't put Peach in a thong and gave her a floppy jiggle butt on purpose. I definitely don't think it looks sexy on her, but that doesn't matter in the big picture. Nintendo didn't make those changes because they wanted to make her more unattractrive. They put her in a thong to show off her butt. And some people thinks massive butt jiggling is sexy.

Okay, none of them were hot. I hope people aren't attracted to some fox-female with blue fur.

I don't think Nintendo is using sex appeal to attract consumers. After all, these characters are cartoon characters. Dead or Alive or Rumble Roses, etc. uses girls who are definatly more sexually-oriented that, oh say, Midna.


(And you won by putting Captain Falcon at the end. I cracked up. :laugh:)

New to the internets, are we?

The idea of Yoshi in a speedo makes me cackle

Snake can just, uh... wear his bodysuit. Geez, it slides into every crevice of his body perfectly...

As for sex symbols... if anything, Zelda looks like she got more clothing, and sure, ZSS... but she's always been popping up in bikinis after fast game runs.

And Nana? A little Inuit in a parka.

Maybe a little, yes. But not that much, really.

We must not forget that Snake is the creation of Hideo Kojima. I'm seriously starting to doubt if that man is straight or not... =D

Nintendo is definitly less sexual oriented than most companies. Remember that Mario strikers and Star fox decent games are made by companies working for nintendo.

If you wnat a nintendo game that shows off it's women though think pokemon.

You mean the 10 year old girls much more mature than they should be at their age and wearing mini skirts?

Stamping your library books.
I wish I lived in Kanto. If all of the 10-year-olds look like that, imagine them when they hit puberty... *drools*

On a more serious note, of course Nintendo is using some sex appeal in brawl. There'd be no other reason to put in Zamus.

Wisconsin...yay that place no one has ever heard o
I was actually thinking of making a thread like this, lucky I searched first ;)

And no one can doubt that they are using sex appeal, just because of Zero Suit Samus. Like someone else said (forgot which page...) she never had a big enough role to be a likly character. Well some of it is a given (tight suit, she needs to stay in her powersuit), they did go "a litte" over board. Honestly, to the best of my knowledge, never had a big role, never very important, just in for sex appeal.

Well we all know Nintendo has never been very crazed over sex appeal, this is clear proof they are trying to start to appeal to other gamers (and even pokemon...yes someone else brought that up as well)

They may be adding sex appeal, but it doesn't turn me on;)

Those games became disguisting once they introduced the female characters. 10 year old girls do not have breasts, I sincerly doubt that any of the designers of that game have actually met a 10 year old girl if they think that is any way an accurate portrayl of a 10 year old girl, they look about 15 in RSE and DP.

I've known a 10 year-old with C-cups.

And I don't think all the girls in that game are 10 years old.

... and stuff. *awkward silence*

Like Krystal, ZSS, and Lip doesnt give you a boner?


Maybe.


Also, you know boys buy those games for a REAL reason.
If that's the reason you buy games, you got your priorities ****ed up. Use the internet, it's for porn.

Anyway, having a ****** doesn't make a character more suited for Brawl.

R.M.B. were else?
no matter how you look at it, anyway they put wemon in is going to cause something like this. if a woman is portrayed as "sexy" people will say it is stereo typical.
if a woman is portrayed as "ugly and fat and discusting" then people will say nintendo has a problem with femqale characters.
they dont mean any harm ,they are just trying to make a game everyone will enjoy (not sexualy) that doesnt have anything that makes it less attractive.

would you play as a fat chick who farts, burps, and other such things? I think not.

I gotta admit, Captain Falcons Nipple studs are a major turn on (no, they are just amazing)
And yeah, I agree with ya on this one. I have joked for a long time about Peach. Just because of the mario sport games, she has been wearing a little bit less everytime. I was almost surprised to see her wearing the dress in SSBB (haha, not really)

100% right.

This thread topic almost borders on hypocritical.
If there is not enough female characters, people complain, arguing that it's sexist. As soon as they add more females, people complain and argue that its sexist and stereotypical.

It's kind of annoying, really.

"MeiLing, Samus took her clothes off!!"

^^& that my friends is when the game went from rated T to rated M.

So yeah, it's already happening. Their are like I'd say roughly 3 or 4 more females on the way.
