Should Mother 3 come to the West? Mother 3 is an RPG (Role-Playing Game) developed from the ground up by Nintendo. Mother 3 is the sequel to Mother 2, which is known as Earthbound outside of Japan. Mother 2 was a great game and critics had many good things to say about it. America on the other hand, were a little harsh to the newcomer. Critics mostly complained about the simple graphics the game used. EarthBound was intentionally created with 8-bit graphics to achieve a sort of nostalgia effect on players. But, 8-bit graphics can mean many different things. In EarthBound terms, the team just used a 256 color palette and a pixelated look. Having only 256 colors can limit what you can make in your game, but sometimes limitations can make you creative. Now Mother 3, being a sequel to EarthBound is similar to it in many ways whilst still managing to stay different.
Mother 3 adopted the smaller bit graphics that EarthBound used, but instead of doing in purely out of nostalgia, they did it because of hardware limitations on the GBA (Game Boy Advance). The GBA is a handheld console similar to the Game Boy. The main difference is that the GBA has color support and better hardware. It was introduced in 2001, Mother 3 was released in 2006, only in Japan. Many Earthbound fans were broken to find out that Mother 3 wasn’t going to be released into the US. To this day many people, especially fans, would love to see a game they can pick up and play instantly. It’s hard and can technically be considered illegal to play a ROM of the game as it’s a form of piracy. A ROM is a device you can download on a computer to read certain files. In this case, it needs to be a software that can read GBA (Game Boy Advance) files. This allows games that you can’t play on a computer playable. Only if you have the right ROM and Files of course. This takes time and many sites can try to give you fake ROM’s. Many fans can’t play a game that is a part of their favorite franchise, due to legal concerns, and inability to read Japanese. Is there a good reason why Nintendo isn’t allowing globalized release of this game? Well, that’s a debatable topic. Most people who really want the game would say that Nintendo doesn’t have good reasons to not release good games. Others don’t know. The Main issue that Nintendo released to the public regarding the translation of Mother 3 was as stated. Nintendo was worried about how the game would be displayed. They do not believe that it would have a high reputation in the west. At least that is what they said the last time it was spoken about. There is a lot of controversial topics shown in the game which is a huge roadblock of it coming to America. Mother 3 displays acts of violence, abuse, torment, slavery, drugs, and other terrible things… I guess. The problem with those reasons is that many games these days display such things as well. The only exception is that they are rated ‘M’ for ‘Mature.’ These games are highly realistic in how they act and look, while Mother 3 has a pixely look to it. As do the other Mother games. Two big problems in Mother 3 are two scenes. One scene is of the 4 protagonists of the game eating mushrooms on the ground to regain their strength. The mushrooms do restore their strength, but it distorts the world around them. Creatures look like friends or inanimate objects. The screen will display hallucinations in a humoristic type manor. Displays of animal abuse have also been shown, child enslavement was in a small part of the game as well. Child labor was more or less shown as parents forcing their children to work at a factory in the main town of Tazmily. Very early in the game we are introduced to a character that is under enslavement by one of the antagonists of the game. They are forced to do their bidding and if they fail to do so they get shocked. They later on become freed by one of the protagonist. These all seem to be good reasons why they shouldn’t release the game into the us. Why would people care about these things though? The game doesn’t promote these things, after the halogens are taken and warn off the characters speak about never wanting to have an experience like that again. The protagonists’ job is to free their people from the influences of Porky’s army and reclaim their world as theirs once again. The game shows a lot of people doing good, not for themselves, but for the people they love (and don’t love). It is loved by so many EarthBound fans, why wouldn’t Mother 3 be loved in the same way? EarthBound was well received when it came to the US. Mother 3 is talked about so much in the us that if it came out to the US, it would probably be talked about even more. It may reach the point where someone who doesn’t know the series would get into it. A unique RPG with humor and good story, with a good combat system that keeps the player involved, a story that stays in once place that continues to get more and more interesting, unique characters that are hard to forget (no matter how much they change). There is so much good in the Mother franchise, only releasing one harms the EarthBound fandom. Everyone who knows EarthBound knows Mother 3 and they are itching to have it available to them. It may not seem like it, but people love to support Nintendo. A team of 14 freelanced workers put thousands of hours into translating Mother 3. They had no access to the original game so they had to find a hacked version and worked around that. They spent their time translating every sentence, every word, every character. Their main goal was to keep the Mother series’ charm while having the dialogue still make sense to the reader. They went out of their way to change ingame sprites to match english wise. To change the html of a game is one thing, to change the looks of ingame items is much more difficult to do. Especially if you are trying to keep it looking similar. To sum it all up, Nintendo believes that Mother 3 wouldn’t be well received for the 8-bit style of the game as Earthbound received the same reputation when it came to the west region. That isn’t all, the games display of violence, use of drugs, and animal abuse may make it hard to publish it with minimum backlash. They also can’t cut that content out as it takes up huge portions of the game. Even though Mother 3 is loved by the EarthBound fanbase, it is only so big and is the smaller fandom out of all other Nintendo games. The reason why Nintendo hasn’t said anything about Mother 3 as well is because they don’t talk about stuff that isn’t being worked on or isn’t ready to be shown. From what we know, Mother 3 coming to the West is not a lost idea. We just don’t know when it will come, or if it will. We can’t change what Nintendo does with its products, it may be too late for them to release it in the West anyways. We are just going to have to be patient.

The lab experience was something to say the least. There was a lot I didn't think through, and a lot that I should've done differently. First of, I didn't realize that my lab had a chance of not providing useful information. Much time was spent lost and confused, not knowing what steps to take next. I couldn't find good samples until late into the lab, even then it was only one sample of plant. I didn't collect more plants for one reason, I had no clue where to find other species. Some chemicals couldn't be tested as either they were a huge hazard by themselves or we couldn't buy them. If I could, I would have done a completely different lab. One that may prove to provide something to use.
Even with the mess, there was still some things that went well. I was able to help people with their experiments while I waited for mine to provide results. During the waiting period, I went around and observed others' labs and offered help whenever possible. My lab was expected to find data that plants can't handle chemical changes. Instead I found that most plants are significantly more resilient to change compared to animals. I personally was surprised to learn that plants are better at handling changes, but I was also heavily dissapointed.
I have to say, the one thing I definitely want to hold on to is; how fun this class was. What we learned and heard about was interesting to me, even if it isn't involved in what I want to go into. If I have any chemistry classes in the future (which I mostly likely will), the information here will be more than useful, it may help me get further along in the first class. To either catch up with peers or to speed ahead. I feel very confident that I will be able to retain the information that I learned this semester and apply them to the future. I can't really think of anything I would've done differently. Except, to do a different lab and to ask more questions
Brief Description:
As a journalist for the political part (The New Equilibrium Coalition). My job was to go and collect stories and put them into word that follow our beliefs. I needed to interview as many people as possible to get many different views, and the people I interviewed did not disappoint either. With the interviews I did and the survey I created, I had enough data to start my article to support my group beliefs. We believe that both sides have good points. We need people to stop arguing and to start working together. "We won't get a solution if all our energy goes into screaming at each other" -Allie (Our Scientist and Filmmaker). Our photos were taken to cause a stronger emotional pull towards our article (Note: Photos are of our politic speaker and others who were not related to the project).
If you want to read more; click on the paper and scroll down.
Scientist Like Me EmailsI'm getting data but I have my doubts about it being sufficient. I need to collect a higher concentration of Aquatic plants. I have already been able to collect some data. But it seems that the small amount of duckweed (Algae) may be messing with the results. I plan on get a different type of aquatic plant either through the biology lab or from online to hopefully have a more diverse set of results. It has also been hard to keep track of time as some samples are dying quicker than expected while other I have to leave at the lab overnight which is causing some inconsistency. What I need to do is find a way to get a higher concentration of aquatic plants and find more chemicals to test with as well.
My Current Chemical data is shown below (updates will occur when data is changed or more is added)
Majority Opinion- The constitution states that each individual person has the freedom of speech, but there needs to be limits to everything. The respondents in this case seek to find the restrictions to what people can say online, in songs, essays, stories, and in the real world. Threats are a growing issue and continue to grow even more as technology advances. We can not be trustful of everyone and we need to make sure that everyone is as safe as they can be. My analysis from the case brings me to the conclusion that if anyone says anything that has more than a little bit of reasonable suspicious they should legally be allowed to be arrested and question. Therefore in this case, Elonis would have been arrested for making suspicious threats, after they are done questioning him and searching for intents or points of evidence that point to the threat happening, they may decide to release him or put him to trial. The three points that I will discuss demonstrate that anything that can be deemed suspicious of any reasonable person will be considered suspicious unless no intent or motive can be found. We will start that everything needs two sides.
Light without darkness is blinding, darkness without light nothing can be seen. It is argued that everyone should have freedom of speech. Being able to say or do whatever you want or can. The Freedom of Speech is lawful and a part of the constitution. Everyone should be able to say whatever they want, but the problem stands you can’t have a law with no restriction and you can’t have a restriction with no law. Freedom of speech needs its standpoints. You should be able to say whatever you need wherever, either be on social media or videos. The stuff that is said needs to be looked at though, we need to watch to make sure no threats. Freedom of speech is the freedom to say what you want about whatever, but this does not include the freedom to say that you are going to harm someone. It needs to be the case where people who say or ask questionable things are legally allowed to be taken in to be questioned. Even if rappers such as Eminem spoke about killing their wife it doesn’t mean they weren’t questioned about. When Eminem made the album named, “Kill you” the Secret Service came to his house and questioned him about his album and any intentions he may have had with the songs. Popularity doesn’t save you and isn’t everything. Being questioned is not a violation of human rights. Being alert about what people say and do is a huge key to higher safety for civilians. Even if Elonis had disclaimers that what he was saying is ‘Artistic Expression’ it was still viewed as a threat by his Wife and FBI agents. It was proven that it wasn’t a threat, that doesn’t excuse that the post was threatening. If people view something as a threat, it should be a safety precaution to consider it a threat and look further into it. A recent article that came out this year talks about a teen by the name of Nikolas Cruz who posted a video online possibly on multiple social media sites. In that video he said, “My name is Nik, and I’m going to be the next school shooter of 2018.” This was a threat that was a plan that was thought through. Shortly after the video was posted he went to his own high school and killed 17 students. People took this video as a joke before the shooting, many thought he was joking. Some was suspicious about it in the moment, but did not think about it much afterwards. People need to start taking anything more seriously if we want a safer community. No one called the authorities because someone made something that could be considered harmful. This cause an school shooting to happen. We need to be proactive in this time and age, anything can happen in seconds and if we aren't calling authorities on threats or sentences that seem like threats, people may get injured or even killed. We need to have the possibility of harm being undone, we should arrest people even if there is some reasonable doubt. It should be after they are questioned and brought to court where reasonable doubt should be put into play. People who say things similar to Elonis statement should be legally allowed to be questioned and searched. This will also go for anyone who says anything suspicious online and offline. You need to be careful with what you say online and vice versa for anything offline. It isn't about you threatening someone.I t's not letting the chance of a threat to go through. If someone is questioned and is shown to have intention, it is a threat. If when questioned and search showed that they did not have any intention, they are protected by the freedom of speech. This is about taking a stand before anything bad happens. Even if a threat was claimed to be a joke, we won’t know what their true intentions were. It is impossible to detect if someone is lying, and to go based off someone’s word is a lot more difficult if no evidence can be found. Lie detectors don't work well because it detects blood pressure, pulse, respiration, and skin conductivity. These system can easily be beaten by keeping your cool and many felons got away because of so. Christine Blasey is a good example of a felon who passed the lie detector test. This is why people need to be questioned, to remove doubt. But, just because someone says something convincing doesn't mean that they should be trusted. Those who are questioned for possible threats should be closely monitored for a short period of time after the questioning. To make precautions is a huge thing to do. It helps prevent any threats from going through by either arresting the suspects if evidence is found of going through with the threats or by convincing people to not do it by threatening them with just the fact that they are being look at and observed. This can and will decrease threats going through by a huge amount. No one can be sure on how much it can or will go down. In conclusion, a threat is a threat if there is reasonable suspicion. No one should feel like they are in danger while on the internet. It is not acceptable to make people you know and you don’t know feel in danger just by saying a few words. It should be the case that if anyone, anywhere, says anything that is remotely suspicious or questionable. They are legally allowed to be questioned by authorities until it is decided that the saying meant no harm. Even after authorities have decided that no intentions was there, the suspect should be closely monitor for a period of time afterwards to prevent future events happening based on the threat Majority Opinion- The constitution states that each individual person has the freedom of speech, but there needs to be limits to everything.

Articles such as https://theoutline.com/post/5164/wahhhhhhhhhhh?zd=1&zi=r7ti44nz talk about why Waluigi has such a big fan base. He started off as Wario’s partner for Mario Tennis. As the games went on he saw more outings such as the Mario party series, being in everyone except for the first two and Mario party advance. He is a playable character in most spin-off games and has unique voice lines and different ways to play him. He makes cameos in other Mario games as either costumes or powers. Nintendo cares about Waluigi, either putting him as a character or an Easter egg in most spin-off games. They don’t care about him enough to put him in the newest Super Smash Bros as a playable character and that is upsetting for many old players.
This comes to the question in mind if he is in so many other games than why isn’t he in the newest smash? According to http://nintendo.wikia.com/wiki/Waluigi Waluigi has been in 61 games while there are some characters that have only been in two. One of the newest characters added to Super Smash Bros. is Daisy, who is Princess Peach’s counterpart. According to http://nintendo.wikia.com/wiki/Princess_Daisy Daisy has only been in 19 games. Waluigi has been in every game Daisy has been in except for three, two that came out before 2000 (when Mario Party came out), and Super Mario Run, a mobile game. Characters such as Olimer have only been in two main games. The list can go on for character game comparison. Lucas and Ness have only been in one game each, Ness was in Earthbound and Lucas was in Mother 3. Pit has only been in two games and neither games have been super popular. These are just a few of the big list of character in Super Smash bros that have been in less games than other Characters. Characters that aren’t even a part of Nintendo are in Super Smash Bros. We sit here with characters such as Snake from Metal Gear Solid and Sonic The Hedgehog in this fantastic game. Waluigi is a unique character, he has his own personality like most mainstream characters that Nintendo owns. It is ridiculous that a character so loved by the Nintendo community is being pushed off like they are only a trophy. Waluigi is more than just a trophy, he is the most charming character you will ever meet. Such a character should be a playable character in this fantastic game, he is someone who has a really high ego and Nintendo has managed to turn high ego into comedy.. He has met the criteria that other characters had to meet; He may not have his own game, but he is a side antagonist in the Mario games. He doesn't need his own game. Popular Pokemon such as Pikachu, Lucario, and Greninja are in Smash bros. They don't have their own games and they are just a small part of the Pokemon franchise. Walugi may be a small part of the Mario franchise, but he is just as popular as Lucario. He has his reasons for why he should be in Smash. Sadly, he hasn’t been given much love by Nintendo recently. Now, let us not get mad at Nintendo for making the choices they made. Being wrong can sometimes makes things alright. Nintendo can’t add him in as playable character at this point anyways, it can’t be changed. But in the future, if Nintendo learned from their mistakes, he may be a playable character. If we don’t get him in Smash this game instead of screaming at Nintendo, let us hope that he will be in the next game that is yet to be revealed. Everything is set in stone for if he is going to be in the next game. The questions we are asking are why? Why didn’t they consider adding him as a character? What made Nintendo think that Waluigi was only good enough to be an assist trophy? We need to make our voices heard and let Nintendo know that we don’t appreciate what they did. We need to learn to understand why they did it. Coincidentally, Nintendo has not revealed why Waluigi is not in the newest Smash. We need to all stand up for Waluigi and convince Nintendo to make him more than an assist trophy. Get the people to design him if you are out of ideas. People like this person https://aminoapps.com/c/smash/page/blog/waluigi-moveset-idea/3zfB_ug7dqDr3Mj5KBgoXZJGBo5Bnv know ideas for movesets. The people know Waluigi, from everything like what his favorite stuffed animal to his favorite clothes to even what type of deodorant he wears. We have answers to what he is missing for his criteria. If Nintendo is to release a statement explaining why Waluigi cannot be put in Smash, we will give them reasons. The water test for Lake Hodges were rather shocking and scary. Most of the things that we tested for in the water had no signs. Half way through analyzing our data I almost came to the conclusion that we did some tests wrong. My partner luckily convinced me that our water just was just as bad as we thought. Communicating with the other teams on this issue resolved the rest. This was challenging as we spent time discussing to see if we needed to re do the tests which would have taken even more time. Another challenge were the gas laws problems. It was a difficult task at first. I understood how to do the first page as the formula set was surprisingly simple. It was the last two pages that threw me off, there was a lot of wording so my mind got wrapped around the words. In the end I believed that the problems were way more complicated than I thought. When I run into a situation that is similar in the future, I will not hesitate to go up to Ms. Lyman to ask about the meaning of the math problem. What it is asking me to find. In this situation my lab partner saved me from extra trouble. He explained how to do the other formulas and I soon realized that we already learned how to do everything on the sheet. The Gas Laws became a lot easier, besides from the few mess ups. I require myself to make less mistakes by taking more time to dissect the problem in what it is asking and the steps that are needed to solve the issue. I did a variety of water test on my Local Hot Tub. Those tests were Copper: In the ten minute test, there was no change to he water's color; No Copper. pH: A Yellow-Greenish color; pH 7. Chlorine: Plenty of it, it's a hot tub after all; Water turned yellow immediately. Chromium: Water stayed clear; No Chromium. Cyanide: Stayed clear; No Cyanide (Good thing) Nitrate: Immediately became Pink, end magenta; A lot of Nitrate. Silica: Became a dark blue; Silica is present. Phosphate: Immediately turned Light blue (Stage 3). A minute passed and it became Stage 4. Turbidity: 20 JTU (Jackson Turbidity Units) The amount of chlorine in the hot tub would kill any fish in the water almost immediately. The amount of nitrate and water makes a pollutant and would promote plant growth if there was no chlorine. Fish will not be able to live in a public hot tub. Our group did test for Lake Hodges located in Escondido. The test we did were as followed. Alkalinity: 80 ppm (barely below safe levels) Acidity (pH): Water became a Blue-Green color, has a pH of 9. Sulfide: Water stayed clear, no sulfide is present in water. Nitrate: Test turned water white, the water stayed white indicating that there was no Nitrate. Ammonia: Water stayed clear and did not turn yellow, no Ammonia was present. Cyanide: Water stayed clear, no Cyanide is present. (really good) Chromium: Water stayed clear, no Chromium is present. Iron: Water stayed clear, no iron (not good) Silica: Water turned a blue color, Silica is present. Copper: There was no change to the water's color after ten minutes. No copper is present. Having no Iron is bad for fish as all animals need a small amount of iron to survive. Plants overall don't do well without Nitrate. The amount of alkalinity is really good for the lake, but the pH of the water is 9 which is way too basic for any fish to survive in. It is remotely surprisingly that any plant life is in Lake Hodges. Lake Hodges needs more Iron less nitrate and a low pH level.
Gas Laws Math Problems: 1) On the planet Schöup. There is a citizen Soop boiling water at sea level at 210 Celsius While on Earth there is a scientist boiling water at sea level at 165 Celsius. The pressure on Earth at sea level is 100 kPA. What is the pressure difference at sea level between Schöup and Earth. 2) On one fine afternoon. Francesco and I were just having the most wonderful picnic. We both had water bottles by our sides. Francesco finished water bottle was crushed to the side of him with a mere 0.5 L of volume left. It is surprising that the bottle didn't burst. The cap was on in it's crushed state as well. "Hey Cole, I'm going to blow up the water bottle to see if I can get it to its original shape." Francesco was really well at expelling air out of his lungs at high velocity and proceeded to get the bottle back to its 1.2 L form. He also managed to get the pressure to 2.7 atm without letting any air leak out. What was the pressure that the bottle had in it's crushed state? 3) I went to the store to buy my good friend Orville some chips. The store was pretty cold at a good 60 F, same goes for my car. Poor Orville being an Elephant couldn't eat his sandwich. Elephants are just all feet aren't they, I couldn't imagine being asked to eat a sandwich with my feet. Orville's house is warmer than my car and the store. The initial volume of the bag was about 0.75 L or was it 1 L? No, it was definitely 0.75 L. It was looser than most bags. When I got into Orville's house the bag slowly inflate without my knowledge. When I gave him the chips the bag was at an incredible 1.2 L in volume. I wonder how hot his home was? How to solve: 1) P1/T1 = P2/T2
Step 1; Write everything you know out P1=First Pressure=100 T1=First Temperature=165 P2=Second Pressure=? T2=Second Temperature=210 Step 2: 100 kPa/165 C = x/210 C 0.61 = x/210 C 210 C * 0.61 = x 210 C * 0.61 = 128.1 kPa x = 128.1 kPa 100 kPa/165 C = 128.1 kPa/210C 2) V1 * P1 = V2 * P2 Step 1; Write the information you have V1=First Volume=0.5 L P1=First Pressure=? V2=Second Volume=1.2 L P2=Second Pressure=2.7 atm Step 2; 0.5 L * x = 1.2 L* 2.7 atm 0.5 * x = 3.24 (Reverse the problem to find x) 3.24 / 0.5 = x x = 6.48 atm 0.5 L x 6.48 atm = 1.2 L x 2.7 atm 3) T1/V1 = T2/V2 Step 1; Write everything you know T1=First Temperature=60 F V1=First Volume=0.75 L T2=Second Temperature=? V2=Second Volume=1.2 L Step 2; 60 F/0.75 L = x/1.2 L 80 F = x/1.2 L x = 1.2 L * 80 F x = 96 F 60 F/0.75 L = 96/1.2 L As it stands Waluigi has grown to have an incredible popularity in the Nintendo community. If you search up Waluigi on google, the first page of results will have two articles on why he is so popular. He started off as Wario’s partner for Mario Tennis. As the games went on he saw more outings such as the Mario party series, being in everyone except for the first two and Mario party advance. He is a playable character in most spin-off games and has unique voice lines and different ways to play him. He makes cameos in other Mario games as either costumes or powers; Examples of this is Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, in this game there are emblems which you can equip to give you better and unique abilities that change how you play and your play style. There are two emblems that are very special; The ‘L’ Emblem and The ‘W’ Emblem are just two of the emblems you can wear. The ‘L’ Emblem, when equipped, changes Mario’s (The protagonist) clothes to Luigi’s (Mario’s Brother) clothes. When the ‘W’ Emblem is equipped it changes Mario’s clothes to Wario’s (Mario’s Rival) clothing. Here is the best part: If you equip both the ‘L’ Emblem and ‘W’ Emblem at the same time, Mario starts wearing purple clothing which represents Waluigi. The ‘W’ stands for Wa which is how both Wario and Waluigi’s names begin. The ‘L’ stands for Luigi which is at the end of Waluigi’s name. Nintendo cares about Waluigi, either putting him as a character or an easter egg in most spin-off games. They don’t care about him enough to put him in the newest Super Smash Bros as a playable character and that is upsetting for many old players.
This comes to the question in mind if he is in so many other games than why isn’t he in the newest smash? He has been in 61 games while there are some characters that have only been in two. One of the newest characters added to Super Smash Bros. is Daisy, who is Princess Peach’s counterpart, has been only in 19 games. Waluigi has been in every game Daisy has been in except for three, two that came out before 2000 (when Mario Party came out), and Super Mario Run, a mobile game. Daisy is an echo fighter for Princess Peach, it is currently unknown if Echo fighters work any differently than the main character as Nintendo has yet to reveal how exactly Echo fighters work. Waluigi is also rumored to be Wario’s older brother. If Wario can be in Super Smash Bros. and Luigi can as well, why can’t Waluigi? He has many unique moves and taunts which are expressed in the Mario party and Mario tennis series. His basic attacks could all revolves around his tennis racket which is what he is well known for. Waluigi throws the fastest fastball in Mario Superstar ball which could be used as his ranged smash attack. He is a charming character, he is one of the tallest characters in the Mario franchise (besides bowser). It is shown that he very athletic being able to stretch and bend to the likes of gymnast and ice skaters. During some specials move in games that he’s in it shows that he has a rose in his mouth, signifying that he caught with his mouth. His Final Smash could be that the opposing character gets bombarded by roses from Waluigi’s fantastic performance in fighting. These are only concepts for what he could be and do in Super Smash Bros. The balancing team could change so much before he becomes a playable character. We sit here with characters such as Snake from Metal Gear Solid and Sonic The Hedgehog in this fantastic game. Characters that aren’t even a part of Nintendo are in Super Smash Bros. Pacman, who is a character from many years ago got his own spot. Waluigi is a unique character and can be argued to be even more unique than Wario. He has his own personality. He is the average person who is too scared to perform, but when he does people all around him are inspired by his actions and words. It is ridiculous that a character so loved by the Nintendo community is being pushed off like they are only a trophy. Waluigi is more than just a trophy. He is the most charming person you will ever meet. Such a main character should be a playable character in this fantastic game. He has met the criteria that other characters had to meet; he has been in more games than most characters on the roster for Super Smash Bros. He may not have his own game, but he is not alone on this system. There are other playable characters on the roster that don’t have a game orbiting them. Characters such as Meta Knight and Princess Zelda sit in the roster with no game of their own, you can’t even control them in the games they are in. They are in because they are heavily loved in the Nintendo franchise. Why Can’t Waluigi get the same love as them? In the near future, there will be a time that Waluigi gets his own game. If Luigi and Wario can both get multiple games created about them, there is reasonable hope that he will get the same treatment. Sadly, he hasn’t been given much love by Nintendo recently. We need to all stand up for Waluigi and convince Nintendo to make him more than an assist trophy. Get the people to design him if you are out of ideas. The people know Waluigi, from everything like what his favorite stuffed animal to his favorite clothes to even what type of deodorant he wears. We have answers to what he is missing for his criteria. If Nintendo is to release a statement explaining why Waluigi cannot be put in Smash, we will give them reasons. Now, let us not get mad at nintendo for making the choices they made. Being wrong can sometimes makes things alright. Nintendo can’t add him in as playable character at this point anyways, it can’t be changed. But in the future, if Nintendo learned from their mistakes, he may be a playable character. If we don’t get him in Smash this game instead of screaming at Nintendo, let us hope that he will be in the next game that is yet to be revealed. Everything is set in stone for if he is going to be in the next game. The questions we are asking are why? Why didn’t they consider adding him as a character? What made Nintendo think that Waluigi was only good enough to be an assist trophy? We need to make our voices heard and let Nintendo know that we don’t appreciate what they did. We need to learn to understand why they did it. Coincidentally, Nintendo has not revealed why Waluigi is not in the newest Smash. WE NEED ANSWERS NINTENDO. |
