The goal of diversity is not having primarily white people with a few non white people sprinkled around. Also Ellie was a lesbian since TLOU 1, I don't even like that franchise but even I know this. You're also implying like there's supposed to be a limit to non white people. I'm trying to give you the benefit of doubt here and assume you just dead ass typed it stupidly without knowingnthe implications but I'm struggling to do so the more you type terribad responses
And we already have western characters (Dark Samus, Diddy Kong and K.Rool).
What's the Audrey II thing?
Audrey II is the name of a plant monster in Little Shop of Horrors, the Piranha Plant is being given this nickname from the Smash community
The Plant.
Omg I was a firm believer in no more cutscenes...I need to HYPE responsibly because this is like making me FREAK
Look at the bottom movie, it seems like a new cutscene with Link and Zelda in some sort of...dark zone?
And I'm trying to tell you that having characters for the sake of their race is tokenization.. Which if they added characters in for the sake of race you'd still be complaining and it would be because its tokenziation. Instead of telling creators what they should create, just buy the games you want to buy..
I mean, it might be just for the reveal trailers...
I never said he was racist. I don't think he's racist. But we don't have any 3rd party IPs that have western playable characters, and I think Minecraft will be the first and only one.
Elma's 1st Party though. He's not obligated to keep her on the project plan like he is with 3rd parties assuming he hasn't lied and actually started work on all the DLC characters already. That's why I feel as though we're not getting 1st Party DLC at all unless its an Octoling who's a bigger name than Rex or a promotional character for Pokémon Gen 8/FE Three Houses.
If there's no limit and you remove all white people then that's not really being diverse now is it?
Oh okay. I like the plant. I think it's funny and interesting
Well then, looks like there could be a few interactions after all.
Look at the bottom movie, it seems like a new cutscene with Link and Zelda in some sort of...dark zone?
Plus the most speculated character right now (Steve) is from Denmark, so...
There's no argument here? We're just having a civil discussion. The idea that everyone needs to say the same thing or else we are "arguing" and that it's bad to do that is flawed.
No one is telling anyone what to do. I'm just making an argument that diversity is important in video games and therefore it would be better if Nintendo games were more diverse. Obviously Nintendo being a Japanese company means the games are made in a different culture, but they still are selling them in other cultures, so it's not as if they are immune to criticism. And I'm not saying criticism in the sense of "Nintendo bad," I'm saying that there are trends that have been noticed and I think that it would be better if they went against those trends.
I'm not talking about those characters. I'm talking about the potential characters that are from Western IPs. We have no playable Western series/IP characters (Skyrim, Doom, Minecraft) and I think Minecraft makes a lot more sense than Skyrim
I can see Crash and Steve getting in (the first could happen later).
I'm gonna agree with you there...
No one here said anything about "removing all white people" from games.
I think Crash is possible because of his 90s rivalry with Nintendo, and Minecraft makes too much sense not to happen, but I'm not gonna say that Crash has a very good chance, just that he has a chance
This is a valid argument. I can't say I disagree, with the only caveat being the idea that Minecraft would make a cooler stage than character, but I also think that the player avatar would be fun, so yknow.
Something funny is that before Spider-Man PS4, the best-selling western game in Japan was Crash Warped for PS1.
That he does. He makes so much sense, and we should all trust Vergeben. I don't want Minecraft either, but I think it's happening at this point
Yeah I agree with this point. People are free to disagree and have civil discussions if everyone agrees a discussion forum would be a pretty bland place.
Exactly. It would make more sense as a stage than a character, but a character makes sense too. Steve isn't too weird of a character when we have the likes of Piranha Plant and Mr. Game and Watch. Also, Mr. Game and Watch's movements are just as stiff as Steve's, so it's entirely possible. Of course, I don't want him in the game, but I accept the fact that it'll probably happen
I think crash is a bit late for DLC...
This could very easily be replays.
I can understand your position.
A necessary weasel, one would say. As much as people want Master Chief as THE first TP Western character from Microsoft, even he wouldn't get to be in before Steve.
