A Disney Infinity x Nintendo may, unfortunately, create a sort of "Awesomeness Singularity" that could destroy the solar system. And that would be terrible.

But amiibos in Super Mario Maker don't have such cool things to do as Disney Infinity toys do.

If Infinity ever got amiibo support, Nintendo's sales should soar.

Next thing we know a three way collaboration between Nintendo, Disney Infinity team and Skylanders team happens.

And game store shelves will have nothing but Wii U consoles, Wii U and said triple crossover bundles, a shelf for the game itself and the rest of the walls lined with toys.

And they would still fail to stock up enough amiibo.

Obviously I'm not serious.

Except for the amiibo scarcity, because what the fuck.

Nintendo is actually older than Disney is.

That's kind of surprising.

"Nintendo" Nintendo, or "Marufuku" Nintendo?

Well it didn't start with toys until the 1960s, and video games until the 70s...

But the company was founded in 1889.

The Walt Disney Company was founded in 1923.

I do believe that when they were in the Hanafuda Card business they went by the name "Marufuku"

... At least that's what their own 3DS theme description states.

Nintendo is basically the Disney of Video Games.

Would Black Mage have been a better example than Sora? Does Black Mage have less of an issue than Cloud?

Not sure. At least BM is just a job class and doesn't have ties to any specific games? Or consoles.

Though I can't wait for tumblr to explode about how "Smash is racist" or some other bullshit because of his name if he makes it in. Or she. Can't tell with all those baggy robes and face hidden in shadow.

Black Mage is anything you want them to be, baby...

Also, I don't want Disney to collab with Nintendo, because I heard Disney tried to BUY Nintendo back in the 90s, and I don't want to imagine how a Disney-owned Nintendo would function.

To be fair, Rare was being bought out by Microsoft at the time, so a Dinosaur Planet series would've gone to Xbox instead. Might as well have Rare's last Nintendo game BE a Nintendo game.

Geist: That kind of bullshit is why I never visit Tumblr.

Although if they did say that "Smash is racist" by having Black Mage in, I'd just tell them all that the Black Mage is a preexisting character to Final Fantasy, and has been since the very first game.

The internet doesn't care about disgusting inconveniences like "facts" or "research" when it's about being super pissed about something!

Especially if it's ignorantly so!

But yeah, I was partly joking with the tumblr statement.

Actually, there was this neat Black Mage for Smash fanart I saw on Miiverse.

I remember when the Little Mac trailer was considered sexist because Little Mac punching Samus was portrayed as comical, despite the fact that something similar happened in Wii Fit Trainer's trailer, with her violence being protrayed in a comical light. So forgive me if I can't take people that are willing to call something bigoted due to the flimsiest reasonings seriously.

That said, Black Mage makes sense as a Smash character and he (yes, hetongue) could have a gameplay mechanic similar to Frank West from U Mv C 3, being a level-up character.

There's reason to think Nintendo's still not so keen on Disney, at least in some specific ways- They're seemingly still so upset about the Super Mario Bros. movie that Nintendo Land is being built in Universal Studios Orlando instead of Disney World, at the least.

I sure said that!

From what I understand Disney prefers to be the controlling party in any joint-venture they undertake. Which might have tied in to the Universal deal.

Also, since I've also seen Moogles and Chocobos thrown around in regards to FF reps... obviously it'd be a Black Mage Moogle riding a Chocobo.

Is anyone even saying "Black Mage is racist", or are people predicting controversies and arguments before they happen?

NoLimit Since: Oct, 2009
#82020: Oct 28th 2015 at 3:51:37 PM

It'd obviously will be Lightning, because she is the Final Fantasy waifu according to the producer. tongue

Also, I can't help but think a Square Enix rep would be more a Dragon Quest character, since that has a bigger tie to Nintendo and (IIRC) is the RPG equivalent of Mario in Japan. That is, of course, if we go by "one rep per company" which got destroyed when Ryu came into the picture. tongue

There's really nothing funny about making light of people voicing concerns of racism, sexism and the like, or shouting them down before they even happen. Even if the person is very clearly wrong in some cases, even if it's probably not the right forum, it still connotes "I'm tired of hearing you talk about a legitimate thing that has hurt many people. Don't speak your mind here."

Eh, I wasn't really even joking. I know that racism is a huge issue.

Truth be told, I would get annoyed at that, though. I would get angry at actual racism taking place in the real world.

In about a month, SSB Wii U will be about 1 year old.

... That would actually be a great time to unveil a ballot character.
