Forgotten Characters

Alex Kidd even though he had cameos has been absent for far too long. Maybe sega needs a New, Old Mascot, to replace the replacement.

I've been saying that Sega needs to make Alex Kidd in Bayonettaworld for a while now.

I keep wanting to say Athena but I guess she was in some of SNKs fighting games.

Some? She was in pretty much every KoF game.

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.

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.

Yeah, Battletoads were much cooler I always thought, not that I wasn't a TMNT fan. I'd take a fight with her over Shredder or Krang any time. The games also created a more interesting world to play in for the Toads with more varied gameplay. And the music in the Battletoads games...well, just listen to this:



or this:



As for my pick for this topic, I miss this lovely diva:

Thats a spin off Athena, its not really the same woman. She is aschizo. One is a god the other pop idol.

Here's a interesting read on Athena

Saboteur (Spectrum/C64)
nice Ninja/Puzzle/Platform games, hugely popular amongst Spectrum/C64 nerds

Commander Keen (PC)
remade/new versions available for GBC?

Rockford - Boulder Dash (C64)
several versions available, yet not many people talk about Rockford

Shadow of the Beast (Amiga/C64/etc.)
one of the most impressive trilogies graphically and audibly for it's time; deep story-line, for those whom bothered following it


The Lost Vikings (Amiga/SNES/PSX/etc.)
they make a re-appearance in World of Warcraft; very nice cameo

Superfrog (Amiga/PC/etc.)


and a bunch more old heroes

I'd be psyched for a new Wonder Boy game. Problem being that most of the Wonder Boy games are vastly different from eachother that the franchise never really establish much a coherent personality.

I just want Wonder Boy III: The Dragon's Trap 2.

I didn't know that. I do not really play Vs. fighters.

I've got it translated and stuff, but I don't feel right playing it until I own the cart (only available in Japanese)

Many of Nintendo's forgotten mascots made cameos in Captain Rainbow, but I can think of two who were forgotten even then. Muddy Mole, of Mole Mania fame. He got one absolutely amazing puzzler game for the gameboy, and was then forgotten. A Mole Mania DS (or 3D?) would be amazing. And even though the game is only 4 years old, I consider Jill from Drill Dozer to be forgotten, just because the game got such awesome reviews, but Game Freak went "FUCK THAT, MORE POKEMON!"
