The Guys of Nintendo

Welcome back to part two of my harsh judging ways. If you missed part one, you can check out the five ladies of Nintendo here. Doesn’t saying “ladies” just sound creepy? Anyway, today we ain’t all about them feminine wiles. Today it’s about the boys!

So let’s take a look at the top five hottest male characters from Nintendo.

The Girls of Nintendo

Not so long ago I posted a video about how WarioWare came up with the idea for Fruit Ninja. I casually commented, just in passing mind you, that one of the characters in the game was hot. No thought about it, just a random attempt at humor.

But then I thought, what if I actually put some consideration into it? What if I was a sexist pig and decided to rank my top five hottest female Nintendo characters. Well, I wouldn’t do that. I’m too much of a gentleman. Then I thought, why don’t I do the guys too! That’s right, I’m a plain old pig. No sexism here!

However, we’ll start with the girls today and tomorrow we shall check out the guys. And you know what I mean when I say  “check out”. *winky face*

GTA V – Gonna Take A Walk Outside Today

I was up one night and had nothing to do. I turned on GTA V but wasn’t really feelin’ it. I decided it would be a good idea to walk from the southern to the northern most tip of the mainland. The Next thing I know It was 6:30am and bright outside.

If you’re feeling brave and have 2 hours 8 minutes and 53 seconds to spare, this here is the fully cut together, unabridge version where I get hit by two cars and mauled to death by a mountain lion. (Go Wildcats!)

WarioWare: DIY – The dirty Dozen

I remember being impressed with WarioWare, inc.: Mega MicroGame$! the first time I saw it. It was in the means of a flash game advertisement and/or competition. It’s hard to remember exactly what it was but it made me want the game.

I enjoy all the WarioWare games but the one I played the least is the one I feel I should have played more than any other, WarioWare D.I.Y.

When Super Mario Make was just a pipe dream in every Nintendo fanboy’s eye, D.I.Y. gave us the tools to make our own microgames. See what I did there? Mario Maker… Pipe Dream… *cough*.

Sure it was a little flawed and missing some key functions and mechanics, but it still made it possible for the creativity to flow. And here I am now to showcase the twelve, count ’em, twelve microgames I actually finished making.

Before we get started I’d like to let you know how I came across my copy of the game. In April of 2010 Kotaku Australia ran a competition for Splinter Cell: Conviction. I don’t recall the prize, I assume it was a copy of the game. A quick google search just now and I discovered the prize was actually A Splinter Cell: Conviction Xbox 360 console bundle. To enter you had to have a real world photo with the stylised Conviction writing on walls, along with the Kotaku logo. This was my entry:
