Found this gem while browsing the internet: i.imgur.com/JTjL69L.jpg (zoom in) Nothing more I can add to that, can you think of a more memorable villain from Nintendo or any other company?

I've never finished a Zelda game so I'm just gonna put my vote in for Waluigi. Does he count? Still waiting for that dude to get his own game.

A Mario-esque platformer where you play as Wario and Waluigi glitching and cheating through classic Mario worlds in an attempt to amass as many coins as possible. Plenty of creative things you could do with the level design in that concept, make it happen Nintendo. I'll take twenty.

If you're going to be playing as Wario, I think it goes without saying that the worlds would be completely destructible. Oh, man, just the idea set the imagination reeling with possibilities. On the topic of Majora, though, I dunno about "best villain" but, the mask on the Skull Kid, is definitely one of their most well designed characters.

But no love for Bowser and his 8 kids tho? Where did Bowser's kids even come from? Because all evidence points to Peach. If that's the case, these kids are incredible villains. I mean, how would you feel if you had to fight 8 of your illegitimate kids in order to rescue your cheating girlfriend from your hated nemesis? Every single boss Mario fights is a reminder of Peach's constant unfaithfulness and promiscuity. That's some tough shit, Mario.

Y'know, you are right: Majora + Skullkid = Sympathetic villain Sure is a step above the others, several of which can only best be described as a wee bit rapey. However. However. I would say that Nintendo's greatest villain is their Youtube policy. Face it: Those bastards could only dream of cumming bees. In fact, one could even say that Nintendo's greatest villain is Youtube! Ah, but like some of the most nefarious villains, Youtube is merely a puppet of a darker, much more sinister presence: Google. Hell, their motto is "Do no evil," which is basically them giving themselves carte blanche to do whatever the fuck they want... but it's not "evil." Although, Majora was going to crash the moon into the planet after turning it into a freaky demon face, no less. So yeah, Majora takes it for style. *Also worth noting, Barinade was a goddamn devil-tumor inside that big ol' whale!* Man, do Zelda bosses rock.

Luigi follows Mario to make sure he doesn't return to drinking due to his depression.

This talk of illegitimate children makes me want a game called "Super Mario Poach Land" where you gain access to the "Animal Cruelty Suit". The first half of the game is Mario going insane from Peach's beast-infidelity (unless Bowser simply rapes her all the time but that's a whole different story) and capturing/torturing all of the bastard koopas, and in the second half you switch to Yoshi who must then strike down his old friend master.

Your game idea gave me nightmares. Open a kickstarter I'll support it!

I read it 4 times, feel good about yourself sir.

This sounds like the best secret case in Phoenix Wright: animal cruelty, infidelity, rape, murder of illegitimate children, stalking, the list goes on! In fact, there's your next game, famed Nintendo characters being put on trial.

A Mario-esque platformer where you play as Wario and Waluigi glitching and cheating through classic Mario worlds in an attempt to amass as many coins as possible. Plenty of creative things you could do with the level design in that concept, make it happen Nintendo. I'll take twenty. Nintendo has a knack for absolutely ignoring the hell out of developing their characters with even the most potential, let alone their easiest to downright exploit. You'd think they're afraid of stepping out of the box or just scared of money or something. I've felt for a long time that Nintendo could at least tier their franchises to appeal to a wider audience and *gasp* have a deeper plot beyond...well, shit: *gasp*'s, because they're also afraid of actual voice acting or something, particularly with Legend of Zelda. And they've certainly let the ball slip with Metroid. Remember Prime on the Gamecube? No? Because it could have been one of the best shooters of at least the decade... except there was next to jack shit to actually shoot. I mean, fuck a load of Barinade up above, the ,main enemy, the name of the series, "Metroid," might as well be "Space Cancer Hulk Vampires," and yet all I can remember about Metroid Prime was the excruciating first person platforming, inscrutable maps, and scanning things like I was prepping a thesis for intergalactic fictional anthropology 101. I shit you not, I remember spending over 15 minutes just shooting at the walls because the blaster effects were so brilliantly wasted in an over extended, multifarious fetch quest. On a current event-y note, I think they could have really done a great deal with Dr. Luigi. How about a mushroom kingdom Z-virus instead of some Candy Crush retro-re-do crock? I mean, it's not too hard to imagine: The Mushroom Kingdom. Suddenly beset by a fungal outbreak as grotesque anomalies consume the flesh of the liv- -ing. Well, see? That wasn't so far a stretch. That proposition to go sadly neglected by the G-oriented Nintendo Illuminati (oh, but it's okay to let Pervy51 do whatever the fuck he wants with his mediocre cel-shit), there's another several points for Majora [and Youtube...] in the villain category. At least they didn't waste a second in Majora's case to build up the experience. Right from the earliest cutscene you're met with probably the most downright terrifying E-rated game character that isn't actively trying to kill you (maybe?) with that "Happy" Mask Salesman. Likewise, Youtube is basically a trial of persevering through a seemingly endless stream of sperm rejects armed with a webcam and lack of shame until discovering something with content quality extending beyond the generous average of "borderline retarded." Yeah, I'm still split between those two, especially because subverting Let's Play funds in American dollars with modern exchange rates probably puts Hyrule belly-up several times over comparatively. You can find coinage in the bloody grass for cripes sake, so their currency isn't worth much as it is, so to match the collective cost in damages Majora pretty much would have to smash the moon into the planet. And it's an easy point, but Majora isn't a recurring character, which in Nintendo canon is rarer than tits. Bad enough that I have to say "character" and not "villain" when you have even Bowser - likely stockpiles of Rophynol and all - playing fucking tennis with his abductee's boyfriend. Holy shit is that one dysfunctional bunch of bastards. Okay, I changed my mind: Shigeru Miyamoto is Nintendo's greatest villain for crafting their greatest incestuous mindfuck of a series: "I look at our characters in a similar way and feel that they can take on different roles in different games," Miyamoto said. "It's more like they're one big family, or maybe a troupe of actors."
