jesus christ. why did I even open this thread.
i don't usually do this, but...
fucking nintendo fans
Nice generalisation there since i also own other brand game consoles playstation, xbox and a pc. So i must be a Nintendo fan one and only lol.
Anyway i am not even against this idea if the original creator of a character or the devs want to change a character design be it skin colour hair colour or whatever i will always respect that and be fine with it since it's their creation.
I remember when Virtua Fighter 5 came out alot of people complained about a character being made less darker skinned. I doubt those got attacked like established character supporters.
Anyway my opinion on this whole changing design of old established characters is that they should atleast announce it and explain in short why. I would totally not mind if they changed Samus or another video game character to whatever skin colour or other features and said we thought this design change fit's better with our current vision. And a small sentence like that is enough imo to explain a big design change of a long established character. People will complain just like Virtua 5 but that's understandable imo because people are used or love the established look/design it does not make them racists/xenophobic or crazy.
Tl:dr not just a Nintendo fan lol and i don't mind video game character design changes if the creators support it/want to change it themselves with a small explanation if it is a old established character but if recent no need for it (5 or 10+ years old for established imo).
And one last thing where i agree with and have always been for is more non white Nintendo characters. Especially newly created ones but if they made a excisting one different with a small sentence of why well why the heck not.
