The 10 Worst Traits of a Nintendo-Made Game

RKRigney | July 29, 2008 | Blog | Nintendo 64 Wii 
Nintendo has a lot of things in their games that just don't make any sense. Not just eating shrooms to get "big", oh no. There are worse things in their games that many people simply ignore, like mass animal slaughtering, spontaneously combusting bosses, and characters created simply to mock the impaired. SlapStic takes a closer look.
10. Animal Slaughter on a Grand Scale is Okay

So you’re standing there minding your own business and a turtle comes waddling up to you. If you’re a sane human being, you just watch it go by on its merry little way or pick it up and try to feed it dirt or something. If you’re a Nintendo character, however, you stomp on that little terrorist’s head and then kick his dead, lifeless corpse at his friends and kill them too! It doesn’t end there. Innocent alligators in Donkey Kong get hit with barrels until they die of blunt force trauma (all because they’re between DK and his bananas). If you come upon a bear cub in Poke’mon, you better dragon-kick that sucker in the melon until he passes out or you won’t be able to fit him in your little apple-sized container. Samus is the sole reason that some species of bats are extinct. The animal crossing guy puts live fish in his pants and laughs as they die of suffocation! The list goes on and on, getting only worse. The atrocities committed in the average Nintendo release would make a PETA member's head explode. Disgusting.

    The only real ones are lack voice overs and DELAYED games.

    I kind of found it funny. But I never knew
    Animal Crossing: Wild World
    Mario Kart Wii
    Metroid Prime 3: Corruption
    The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
    The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess and
    The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass

    were delayed.

      Anyone who didn't realise Twilight Princess was deleyed is missing a year or two of their life.

    I didn't care much about the actual article. Though number 10 is pretty ridiculous. Animal slaughter on a grand scale is acceptable considering most of the situations they're presented in. If you're such an animal lover, go ahead and buy the game and just let them kill you. Survival is a pretty simple concept: it's either you or them. And btw, they're called enemies for a reason.

      I'm considering writing my next article on the need for "/sarcasm" after everything you write, because people just don't get it...

        Feel free to not put it on Gamegrep when you finish.

        edit. alright that was a bit harsh....but it's pretty much been known for ages. Sarcasm doesn't work in text. Unless it's blatantly obvious. Like "OMG LYK HALO is Gr34t1sT G4M3 EVAR!!!"

          Yeah and with that article was it not blatantly obvious? I'm accusing Mario of being a turtle-mushing maniac. And there are several people that actually got offended. There will always be people who don't get the joke.

          Yeah, that's true too. Like if I said what I did in a PS3 forum at any moment people would get very upset. Even though you use a bad form of 1337 to emphasize sarcasm.

    It's a pretty funny article. Sadly, everything that was stated in it was true.

    And Lanky Kong… I’ll be danged if Lanky Kong isn’t some kind of sick riff on *bleep* kids. That’s messed up, Nintendo. You’ve got a special spot in Hell for that.


    Article was great

    Especially number 5...

    Donkey Kong’s quests don’t even BEGIN to make sense. It’s BANANAS. They grow on trees, man. They’re everywhere. But that punk goes running off to a sure death anyway. Good stuff, Nintendo writers, good stuff.

    I liked a few of those games, but the article was hilarious nonetheless. Good find.

    People who are complaining about the reasons you do realize this is meant for humor not actual factual reasons. Pretty good

    I think WoW has Nintendo beat on animal cruelty. You mutilate those guys so badly some don't even have the organs you're hunting for anymore.

      Not to mention hunting much of the game's animal population to extinction. I often wonder about that myself while I'm collecting 10 rotten _____ carcasses or 35 _______ feathers for some NPC. XD
