1 for All of Princess Daisy's Fans and Haters Alike, This Article Is Going To 1 For all of Princess Daisy’s fans and haters alike, this article is going to be about Nintendo’s own, Flower Princess, as I will be writing this out of love for the character, and to share it with all of you. This article consists of her history, her personality her reception, and her role in Nintendo Games as I’ll also wax poetic about my beloved princess as well as vent of her shortcomings, and speak in defense of her, being the die-hard Daisy fan that I am. So, without further ado… She first debuted in the Gameboy Game, Super Mario Land in 1989, created by Shigeru Miyamoto’s mentor, Gunpei Yokoi, in which she plays the role of a damsel-in-distress and Mario had to save her. Next, in 1991, she appears as Luigi’s caddy in NES Open Tournament Golf, and then after that, she has not been seen for almost a decade…until the booming of the Mario spin-off titles in the early 2000s, since the games were in need of more human characters. Since then, Daisy has made a playable appearance in most of the spin-off Mario games to this day, where some may even consider her the ‘Spin-off Queen,’ a highly subjective title given to her by the fans. Unlike her counterpart Princess Peach, Daisy hardly fits the description of how a proper princess should act. Daisy first and foremost is a tomboy. She’s tough, (perhaps one of the toughest females in the Mario universe, but to me, it’s not saying much), she’s steadfast, as well as 2 headstrong, competitive, and extroverted. What I described of her already can easily go hand in hand; Daisy just seems to make it work in the most effective way. Most of the time, she’s loud, expressive, and just loves to have fun. Whenever she’s victorious in various competitions, she is especially expressive, like she wants the world to know that she won. She’s even outspoken about her losses where she’ll pout, and say things like, ‘Aww, man!’ She’s just simply loud, obnoxious, and just loves to party, and that’s her charm in that fashion, which makes her stand out from the rest of the Mario cast. Regardless of her outspoken demeanor, Princess Daisy also happens to be sweet, friendly, and full of joy, as she’s mostly seen with a smile, even in the face of adversity, which in fact shows off a smug side of her personality. Daisy is just so full of sure confidence that brands her as a strong person, able to hold her own, and very secure with herself and her strong will in check. Out of the crown-wearing Mario gals of today, Daisy, by far, has the strongest personality, able to be this tough, energetic princess as well as a kind, tender, sweetheart. I mentioned ‘Sweetheart’ for a reason, because God forbid, if you get on her bad side, you’ll be her public enemy #1 in the blink of an eye, and I’m talkin’ about DEFCON 1 business here; you don’t wanna mess with Princess Daisy, and who knows what inner demons are lurking beneath that smile of hers…? Through Daisy’s charm, she has captured the hearts of many Mario fans for a plethora of reasons: She has only been kidnapped once besides her ‘mainstream’ counterpart (not by ‘you know who’), she exudes a captivating toughness besides Peach, who is a girly girl, and also, 3 she’s just darn funny. Another reason why people would like her would be any of the reasons above where I explained about her personality, and lastly, there are people out there who feel sorry for her and her short comings (especially with all of the Rosalina hype), and sees her as a sympathetic figure. As with any form of subjective entertainment, she also has fans who dislike her, or even ‘hate’ her. Their reasons are simple: she’s annoying, they say that she’s an inferior clone of Peach, and just really finds no point in liking or supporting her, convinced that she has no future in Mario games, or they’re just flat-out Peach/Rosalina fans, trying to justify THEIR favorite character by hating on Daisy. Because of this, it’s safe to say that this is Daisy’s character flaw: her very essence that drives people away, especially with her catchphrase, “Hi, I’m Daisy!” that she constantly says in a couple of the spin-off titles. Many of her fans and haters alike have made arguments that Daisy has more haters than fans. I had a hard time believing that with all of the Daisy Fandom Forums I’ve visited or been exposed to over the internet, but looking more in to it, I’m starting to believe that she really DOES have more haters than fans, but the fact of the matter is, in my opinion, the people who are really neutral to her outnumber both her fans and her haters. My educated guess would be her initial perception with many casual fans, being on a negative level due to her loud and over-the-top demeanor. 4 As far as myself is concerned, what I listed of Daisy’s personality already is the reason why I’m drawn to her. Again, Daisy is such a stunning, proud, headstrong, and self-confident woman that I admire, and for that, she is way over with me! It’s just that her charisma has won me over more than Peach’s have, and even Rosalina’s for that matter, and they’re more mainstream characters in the Mario franchise; Princess Daisy, a mere side character, has such a stronger, more positive reaction with me, as if I were met to love this character. Another reason why I choose her is because out of the three Mario gals, she comes off as being more relatable to myself, since for a time in MY past, I was neglected and was just a mere afterthought, unable to fit in with most people in my life. Because of this, I feel her pain, not able to star in any of the main Mario games, which irritates an old wound of neglection that I had and Nintendo is making the same mistake as my friends did in disregarding what a potential character/person might offer. Here’s yet another reason why I like Daisy because, more than anything, I love my girlfriend, since whenever we play Mario games, she’d always pick Daisy, as she’s also an avid Daisy fan like myself, and we would talk about her sometimes. Back in the good’ol days, even prior to the conception of Rosalina, I wasn’t able to see it at first, but Daisy, this other princess who was straight out of Super Mario Land that was about Peach’s equal, had such a strange vibe with me. Back then, all I did was just dismissed her as another character in the franchise, not able to make out this sensation I had of her. As the days went on, I was unconsciously drawing closer and closer to her as a fan, able to comfortly bring her up in conversations that I have with my peers. 5 This article was written in April of 2015, the year where Rosalina is getting this huge push from Nintendo where they literally overhyped Rosie, shoving her into more main games, some less known ones, too, a spot in Smash 4, and not to mention, the spin-offs as well. Rosalina’s popularity boomed during this time, winning the hearts of many Mario fans with her beauty as well as her grace…but, I, the black sheep of the bunch, became a fan of Daisy instead. Daisy, a character who hasn’t gotten any justice from Nintendo, clicked with me far better than the big N’s pride and joy known as Rosalina ever could. Just, what is it about the Spunky Princess of Sarasaland? Is it the fact that she isn’t as much of a ‘dammy’ as Princess Peach was for all these years? Is it her spellbinding charm that I’m entranced to? Is it her sympathy about her ‘spin-off hell’ career? Or is it the fact that in Mario Party 3, she knocked Bowser all the way to Rosalina’s Observatory in one hit? Just for simply, ‘getting in her way.’ That was a feat astronomically better than how Mario deals with him on a regular basis! It’s a spin-off game…so fuckin’ what? Daisy gave Bowser the business! I never saw Peach (especially Peach), Rosalina, and even Mario doing something like that! And as a Daisy fan, THAT is something to be proud of! THAT is a piece of Daisy history that I will never forget. It’s funny how Nintendo is pushing Rosalina like she’s their ‘love child’ to give us a reason to like her, but instead, made me like Daisy even more. Perhaps Rosie’s inclusion of Smash Bros helped me cement my fondness of the tough princess, so, I guess that it could be a good thing…no matter how much I clamored for Daisy to be a playable Smash character. Don’t get me wrong, but I like Rosalina, too, and like what she’s become, but I’m just a Mario fan that prefers Daisy over her. 6 Even though I AM part of the minority that likes Daisy, it is MY subjective opinion, and nothing that anyone can say, would EVER change my mind about her.

  • Princess Peach Bowser Luigi
    English Answers for the lesson on Wednesday, 15 July 2020 2 Profiles (answers) You are not expected to identify every example! Nouns Verbs Adjectives Adverbs Princess Peach Princess Peach has long, blonde hair and blue eyes. She is tall and usually wears a pink evening gown with frilly trimmings. Her hair is sometimes pulled back into a high ponytail. Peach is mostly kind and does not show an aggressive nature, even when she is fearlessly fighting or confronting her enemies. Although often kidnapped by huge Bowser, Peach is always happy to have Bowser on the team when a bigger evil threatens the Mushroom Kingdom. She puts previous disagreements aside. Bowser Bowser is the King of the Koopas. Koopas are active turtles that live in the Mushroom Kingdom. Bowser has a large, spiked turtle shell, horns, razor-sharp fangs, clawed fingers and toes, and bright red hair. He is hugely strong and regularly breathes fire. Bowser can also jump high. He often kidnaps Princess Peach to lure poor Mario into a trap. Bowser occasionally works with Mario and Luigi to defeat a greater evil. Then they work together. Luigi Luigi is taller than his older brother, Mario, and is usually dressed in a green shirt with dark blue overalls. Luigi is an Italian plumber, just like his brother. He always seems nervous and timid but is good-natured. He is calmer than his famous brother. If there is conflict, Luigi will smile and walk away. It is often thought that Luigi may secretly love Princess Daisy. .

  • The Evolving Heroine in Nintendo Adventure Games
    The Princess and the Platformer: The Evolving Heroine in Nintendo Adventure Games Katharine Phelps Humanities 497W December 15, 2007 Just remember that my being a woman doesn't make me any less important! --Faris Final Fantasy V 1 The Princess and the Platformer: The Evolving Heroine in Nintendo Adventure Games Female characters, even as a token love interest, have been a mainstay in adventure games ever since Nintendo became a household name. One of the oldest and most famous is the princess of the Super Mario games, whose only role is to be kidnapped and rescued again and again, ad infinitum. Such a character is hardly emblematic of feminism and female empowerment. Yet much has changed in video games since the early 1980s, when Mario was born. Have female characters, too, changed fundamentally? How much has feminism and changing ideas of women in Japan and the US impacted their portrayal in console games? To address these questions, I will discuss three popular female characters in Nintendo adventure game series. By examining the changes in portrayal of these characters through time and new incarnations, I hope to find a kind of evolution of treatment of women and their gender roles. With such a small sample of games, this study cannot be considered definitive of adventure gaming as a whole. But by selecting several long-lasting, iconic female figures, it becomes possible to show a pertinent and specific example of how some of the ideas of women in this medium have changed over time. A premise of this paper is the idea that focusing on characters that are all created within one company can show a clearer line of evolution in the portrayal of the characters, as each heroine had her starting point in the same basic place—within Nintendo.

    OASIS February 26,2014 Mr. Satoru Iwata President and CEO, Nintendo Co., Ltd. CEO, Nintendo of America 1 I -l Kamitoba-hokotate-cho, Minami-ku Kyoto 60 I -850 I Japan Dear Mr. Iwata, Oasis, a private investment fund management company, is an advisor to entities that are the beneficial owners of shares of Nintendo Co. Ltd. I am following up on my letter to you dated June I1,2013, in which Iwrote to you that as both customers and shareholders, Oasis would like to see Nintendo develop and sell games for the iOS and Android platforms, and that as shareholders, we look forward to participating in your current business and your future success. I was prompted to write this follow up, open letter to you after analyzing Facebook's purchase of WhatsApp for $19 billion. We believe that Facebook's decision demonstrates the value placed on maintaining supremacy in the Iimited pool of mobile social interaction. lt is the battle for consumer attention on the smartphone. According to media repofts, users in many countries spend up to 25o/o of their time on smaftphones using WhatsApp. As the holder of what is arguably the largest library of casual games, Nintendo is well placed to make an immediate entry into mobile. Adapting the Nintendo library for smartphones could profoundly alter the complexion of the "attention share" currently occupied by Facebook, WhatsApp, and mobile games developers. The same people who spent hours playing Super Mario, Donkey Kong, and Legend of Zelda as children are now a demographic whose engagement on the smartphone is valued by the market at well over $100 billion if we look at the aggregate value of all companies competing for attention on mobile.
