Krystal had as much T&A as Midna, and a lot more hair.

It is when they destroy one of my favorite heroines!

Pro's right. Midna in her true form was pretty sexually appealing.

I also forgot to mention Peach and Daisy in the Strikers games. They show midriffs, bellybuttons and wear tight shorts. Definitely very different from the main Nintendo games.

(Imp) Midna was a caricature of feminine sexuality, which was even more shocking. To begin with, she's got a STUNNING hourglass figure.

Trueform Midna was a blue supermodel stick-figure in comparison, yuck

You're backtracking to say "immensely uncommon"

Yes, because I've only ever played the Prime series and I forgot that Gunpei Yoko decided to reward speed completion of the game with a less-clothed Samus.

My point isn't countered by one example.

Nintendo tends to be a very conservative company. Remember that this is the company who insisted that trophy girls in racing games like Off Road on the SNES and Crusin' USA on the N64 be redone with t-shirts instead of bikinis.

I don't expect Nintendo to use sex appeal. They've done it very rarely in their games and I was stunned when ZZS showed up in the initial trailer.

Did you honestly expect them to use sex appeal in this or any other game?

Midna=alien esque/mystical beatuy
Samus in Brawl: skin tight uniform/generic video game woman design

They could, but then again I don't really see a slight butt cheek on a special more or ZSSamus as "sex appeal".

And he's obviously male, Japanese and, well, dead.

But that's EXACTLY IT S_B... it ISN'T sex appeal. It's just Nintendo's art style keeping up with a more skin-friendly image culture! They're keeping up with the kids, not with the adults!

Imp Midna=pot bellied, stubby legged, huge head, furry, one eye caricature. But if that is what you call feminine sexuality to each their own!

By raping original character designs and destroying unique characters.

Time to drop your pants if you haven't done so already (don't do it at work)

Brawl E3 trailer Samus

Midna (SPOILARZ)

Mashiro · « **Reply #2238 on:** August 09, 2007, 11:55:01 AM »

Just because it damages the original styling of the character doesn't make it sexy =P

Okay, this is going a little too far now...

I understand that, and I understand why, as such, you wouldn't be as inclined to see it that way.

But can you imagine what your average 15 year old would think when looking at this shot (from the original trailer)?:

Mashiro · « **Reply #2241 on:** August 09, 2007, 11:58:10 AM »

They would think "wow I've seen stuff a million times more sexy than a cover characters ass on the internet."

people are giving kids far too little credit as to how much they know or have seen.

Edit: especially for a 15 yo.

No it isn't, they have turned Samus into the typical/generic video game girl character. That to me is destroying a once unique character design when you turn them into a Laura Croft or DOA esque character.

Of course she's all that, she's an abstraction of the feminine form! You have to dig past the layers of labeled-fantasy to see the very basic sameness between Midna and ancient "Venus" figurines that our cro-magnon ancestors used to make.

Hey, I'm not arguing that point. I agree with you for the most part there.

One thing that made Samus special, as others brought up is that she remained a mysterious character. Even the glimpses of her "scantily" clad form added mystique especially in Super Metroid and while not your typical definition of beatiful she showed off a slightly chiseled physique and was attractive. Now she is a video game barbie doll in a skin tight uniform.

Kairon · « **Reply #2247 on:** August 09, 2007, 12:08:27 PM »

I agree. I think that the tradition of showing Samus outside of her suit HAS TO STOP NOW!!!

I like how Prime 1 did, showing her with only her helmet off (Or was that Prime 2?).

1. ONE. Oh god 2's reveal was horrid.
