This is something that's bothered me for quite a while. It was ubiquitous to his image for a long time but at some point Nintendo just dropped it. He hasn't done it in any of his games since the Gamecube era.
An obvious example of what I'm talking about in the DS remake of Super Mario 64. Mario would do the v-sign every time he got a power star but in the remake he would raise a fist in the air instead.
The DS clearly could handle sticking some extra polygons on his stumpy hands but it was clearly a intentional decision by Nintendo to not put it in. Why? Maybe I'm overlooking some changes in Japanese cultural trends in the early 2000s? What say you, GAF?
