I played a little Strider today. He seems like a viable character for the modern game world.

I'll go with Chibi-Robo. I know he's only from last gen and he had a 2nd game on the DS but I miss the little guy. I'd love to see Nintendo produce real Chibi-Robo's. I'd buy one to help me out at home.

If you continue to talk about Battletoads like that then you are dead to me. :evil:

I get why people like the original game, the parts of it that are actually playable are funny and unique (the body morphing combo finals and the perspective switching throw rocks at the screen part, namely). But if there is one thing you can tell me about the characters themselves that doesn't make them a lazy knock-off of the Ninja Turtles, please do it.

I love chibi robo, but actually, he's had 3 games. There's a third, japan only, DS gamecalled Welcome Home Chibi Robo! Happy Rich Big Sweep! It looks a like it has a lot more in common with the first than the second. It also looks fantastic.

I bet it doesnt get an english release though :(

They made a decent Nintendo game.

They had disgusting names.

They had an enemy that every teenager wanted to bone.

It's like Jessica Rabbit and Christina Ricci made a baby. A sexy baby.

I was thinking of naming Hiryu, but he has been in fighting games and he could be in Marvel vs. Capcom 3 also.

On a side note this thread is getting awfully close to the resurrection franchise thread. Its characters not series. On that we should list less stars and name the actual character instead of the series name unless they are one in the same, of course.
