Choices are poorly designed on this poll. Nintendo should do what they want, if they want to include characters from all ethnicities, why not? And if not, it's fine as well. Is their IP after all. Although I prefer them to create new characters from scratch rather than updating old ones.
Less human characters in the Mario universe please. I love nabbits design and other silly stuff like that. Waluigi, daisy and rosalina suck.
just create a new IP if you want to do someone who is a person of color.
They did a pretty good job with Marina & Twintelle, so I'm not that worried.The Mario characters are caricatures, a Japanese person's idea of an Italian (Italian American if New Donk City is NYC) plumber. Not sure a PoC character will be any different and met with open arms.
So what's that supposed to mean? Are there no people of color in Italy now?Italy doesn't exist in the Mario universe. You can't use the historical accuracy excuse with this.
And? There exist Italian people of colour.
What an ignorant statement to make.
Wow, guys I was just joking. As someone said, they're Japanese versions of cartoon Italians who look very white. Im in no way actually arguing Mario and Luigi are "people" of color.
My bad, sorry for the miscommunication.
So what's that supposed to mean? Are there no people of color in Italy now?
Maybe not at the moment but Paris and New York sure as hell do now.
Those kind of jokes aren't funny.
People of colour born in country where being white is the norm, get targeted and labelled as not really a true citizen of that country.
Where's the "yes, but they should do whatever they want" option?
I honestly read the thread title as "Should the next original human Mario character be a PoS".
I voted no and I'm black. I can say as POC I would rather company add one a POC on their rather than be forced to add one. That way they feel natural and not like a token character.
I'm in the same boat as you.Where's the "yes, but they should do whatever they want" option?
Ridiculous.
I don't see why not. Hopefully if they do it though, it's a major character, not some NPC who's in one level.
I mean, that's already a problem since Nintendo tends to stick with the main 4 + Yoshi and Jr. occasionally. And loads of Toads.
Even Rosalina was mostly secondary in Galaxy, to the point of being an extra in the sequel.
No.
As someone turning mid-30's in the next 24 hours I'm landing in the grave, apparently.So here's where we're at.
Nearing the better part of 50 years so far,
Where do you guys land?
Yes, yes, and yes!!
It's annoying seeing a new Mario character being a clone of a pre-existing white character like Gooigi and Peachette.
They are purposely choosing not to diverse the Mario cast and as a person of colour, it pisses me off.
