The 8 Worst Nintendo Game Characters Ever

omgnintendo.com — Some characters work, and some don't. When a character that doesn't work keeps hanging around a story, and especially a video game, you have a recipe for frustration. Game characters can go bad in a lot of ways, ranging from poorly balanced enemies to flat-out irritating concepts. Here's a rogue's gallery of the eight worst, most annoying game char

  • GlitchEnzo, on 08/07/2008, -0/+31The "Nintendo" should be removed from the title since 4 of the characters in the list aren't even owned by Nintendo.
  • mywhitenoise, on 08/07/2008, -0/+22I'd replace Shadow with someone who is a NINTENDO character...as the title suggests.
  • LeonHRodriguez, on 08/06/2008, -1/+22What about Slippy from Starfox? He/She/It is worthless in every sense of the word.
  • 9bpm9, on 08/07/2008, -0/+19So any game on a nintendo system is a game created by nintendo?
  • BlueSkyfish, on 08/07/2008, -0/+14The 8 Worst Nintendo Game Characters Ever
    #2: Shadow the hedgehog

    wat?
  • slifty, on 08/07/2008, -2/+14That was Peppy, you jerk
  • Frozenfuryblade, on 08/07/2008, -1/+13What? How can you list the final boss of SSBB on there?

    I thought he was pretty ***** awesome. I mean in his introductory scene he made master hand his bitch. I knew he was a badass from that moment on.
  • daftfunk1, on 08/07/2008, -1/+11LEON, HELP ME LEON...LEEEEOOOOOONNNNNNNN.
  • slifty, on 08/07/2008, -0/+10Fox! Get this guy off me! Thanks, Fox. I thought they had me.
  • sorceresskim, on 08/07/2008, -0/+10This list is lame. All you had to do to make Phanto stop chasing you was drop your damn key every once in awhile. It wasn't that difficult.

    And WTF @ Shadow being a Nintendo character?!

    BURIED
  • unrequited, on 08/07/2008, -0/+10Tom Nook is a murderous dick.

  • GlitchEnzo, on 08/07/2008, -1/+10I still don't see how that makes any sense. What is a "Nintendo Game" character vs a "Nintendo" character.

    I might have allowed it if all of the characters were from NES games since alot of people just call that system the "Nintendo". However it had Shadow the Hedgehog, who was a character made by Sega, who appeared on the GameCube, Playstation 2, AND Xbox.

    This author is a complete idiot.
  • ursername180, on 08/07/2008, -1/+9I'd like to replace Shadow with Silver the Hedgehog.
  • Konstantino, on 08/07/2008, -0/+8What's worse, Shadow the Hedgehog is on a list about Nintendo characters.
  • Superflks, on 08/07/2008, -0/+8And somehow Sonic characters are now considered "Nintendo" characters?
    Oh how the mighty have fallen.

    And my vote would go towards Baby Mario, for the record.
  • Leit89, on 08/07/2008, -0/+8"What, couldn't think of how to design an actual challenge? Instead, you want to make sure we don't get out of Adventure Mode without using the Dodge moves that are otherwise never required there?"

    I'm going to assume that this guy is not a big brawl enthusiast. I don't know how anyone could possibly get through this game without using the dodge move.
  • suntzusputnik, on 08/07/2008, -0/+7what a crap list. the first item isn't a nintendo character, navi isn't yellow, and since when the ***** was megaman a nintendo license?
  • fletcher008, on 08/07/2008, -1/+7calm down, nerds.
  • starf, on 08/07/2008, -0/+6"If your aim was bad or you were using Toad, your key might end up riding around on the back of an enemy or dropping down a pit. If you killed Phanto but lost your key in the process, then screw you-- go back and get it again, complete with another Phanto on your ass. In some levels, this could become a never-ending cycle of suffering."

    Yeah...if you suck! Messing up once or twice is one thing, but it's not THAT hard to get to the lock, even in the later levels. You just throw the key on the ground, wait for phanto to leave then pick it up again. Repeat when he reappears. All you have to do is make sure it doesn't fall down a pit.
  • LeadStripes, on 08/07/2008, -0/+5Tom Nook might be loanshark, but he's a damn fine character
  • Pronation, on 08/07/2008, -0/+5HEY LISSEN
  • ironkhan, on 08/07/2008, -0/+5Shadow isn't even a Nintendo character.
  • Shaymojack, on 08/07/2008, -1/+6This list is crap. Character on a Nintendo system =/= Nintendo Character.
  • unfilterthought, on 08/07/2008, -1/+6Shadow was made by SEGA.
  • atechnoviking, on 08/07/2008, -0/+4One of the weirdest Nintendo characters ever has got to be Birdo. He is the first transsexual video game character I have ever seen. http://www.transsexual.org/birdo.html

    Makes it seem a little weird playing him in Mario Tennis..
  • stouffer67, on 08/07/2008, -1/+5How could they put Tom Nook, but leave out Mr. Resetti?
  • HiroOfShadows, on 08/07/2008, -0/+4Since when were Shadow, Castlevania, and Megaman Nintendo games?
  • iamsocruel, on 08/07/2008, -0/+4Tom nook is the tony soprano of animal crossing.
    dick
  • Irfit, on 08/06/2008, -1/+5Dugg nor navi.
  • vicoesco, on 08/07/2008, -0/+4Tom Nook FTW!!!
  • chaosblade77, on 08/07/2008, -2/+5All of Brawls single player was a disappoint because I felt like the story-telling was really weak. It did have a basic plot, and it could be deeper than what's implied, but on the surface it really does seem too "mish-mashed" and thrown together.

    Tabuu is no exception, you learn nothing about his character outside of the vague details on his two trophies and the boss fight was pretty lame compared to some of the others (especially Meta Ridley). You have no idea what his intentions are... he could have been an interesting character (heck, the whole mode could have been better) with more depth in the story.

    All that aside, the song that plays when you fight him is awesome.
  • saikyan, on 08/07/2008, -0/+3Navi is annoying.

    Yellow Devil though... that ***** embodies pure controller-throwing rage. And I'm a pretty chilled out guy.
  • Elranzer, on 08/08/2008, -0/+3Noooooooooooooo~!
  • Relikh, on 08/07/2008, -0/+3I guess that works in this situation, but I never want to see or hear the words "Dugg for Navi" again.
  • bankrobbery, on 08/07/2008, -2/+5You calm down! Peppy meant a lot to me!
  • buttle, on 08/07/2008, -0/+3tom nook?
    a sonic character?
    where's waluigi?

    tingle and navi though are both awful.
  • Beerduck, on 08/07/2008, -0/+3What the hell is Shadow doing in a list of Nintendo characters??? Fail.
  • mattlohkamp, on 08/07/2008, -0/+2luckily for you, he misspelled 'for'.
  • sExl, on 08/07/2008, -0/+2That... was not what I expected, and also awesome...
  • Niteslag, on 08/07/2008, -1/+3 How the hell do these crap lists keep ending up on the front page? this list is crap and his attempts at being clever is like Carlos Mencia coming up with his own jokes, it just fails
  • Niteslag, on 08/07/2008, -1/+3 How the hell do these crap lists keep ending up on the front page? this list is crap and his attempts at being clever is like Carlos Mencia coming up with his own jokes, it just fails
  • s73v3r, on 08/07/2008, -0/+2For the longest time in story mode, I thought the end boss was gonna be Dr. Robotnic. I think it was the use of robots all over, and I might have seen some furry animals come out of the robots after I beat them. Or maybe I was seeing things.
  • CrazyRedHatter, on 08/07/2008, -0/+2Could've made a case for just about every character from Ocarina of Time except Link and Sheik making that list.
  • qpingu, on 08/07/2008, -1/+3I thought Shadow was a Sega character. Oh well.
  • Weezergames, on 08/07/2008, -0/+2wait what about the Dog from Duckhunt. You can kill over 300 ducks and miss one and the ***** dog just laughs at you. I wanted to shot that dog
  • philhatesyou, on 08/07/2008, -0/+2Of course the enemy from Mario 2 didnt show up in any other Mario games... because Mario 2 wasn't actually a Mario game. You'd think someone running a site called OMGNINTENDO!@!#@@$ could figure that out.
  • Gamoc, on 08/07/2008, -0/+2You'll probably die posting about them if you're not careful...
  • whatthefu, on 08/07/2008, -0/+2There are far, far worse Nintendo characters than Shadow the Hedgehog.
  • Konstantino, on 08/07/2008, -0/+2Slippy (a he) makes Fox and Falco's weapons. He may be virtually useless on missions, but Fox and Falco would be stuck without him!
  • KyleMistry, on 08/07/2008, -0/+2Am I the only one who didn't really find Navi all that annoying?
