Feature: Nintendo Characters Looking for Love
Posted by Philip J Reed
PRAY FOR A TRUE LOVE IN SPACE
About me
I'm a lone wolf. I keep to myself, and I trust no one. My thoughts are my own, and I express myself through my accomplishments and my firepower. For a long time everybody wondered why I never talked, then I opened my mouth and revealed that I'm an insecure whiny wimp with the vocal delivery of somebody who's succumbing gradually to a heavy anesthetic. Now nobody wants me to talk anymore, and that's just fine by me.
Location: Where no one can hear you scream.
Ethnicity: Honorary Chozo.
Hair: Serious case of helmet head.
Eyes: X-Ray, Thermal, Scan.
Occupation: Bounty Hunter.
I would like to meet: Somebody who is comfortable with my unpredictable work schedule. It's hard enough being a bounty hunter and having to accept jobs whenever they become available, but it gets even more complicated when I'm assigned brand new missions that are somehow meant to take place between two old jobs that I've done already, a long time ago. I don't get it. Oh, and my Irish cousin Seamus Aaron.
I like to play the following sports: I spend my life spelunking through treacherous, repetitive death caverns, getting slowly pecked to death by giant cockroach soldiers and bloodsucking jellyfish. Do you really think I get home and want to play sports?
My exercise regime consists of: Screw Attacking like mad through every living thing that I see because by the time I get that upgrade I'm sick to death of exploring and just want to get the heck out.
My favourite music: "Mother" by Pink Floyd, "Other M" by Ink P Loyd F, The Mamas and The Papas and The Baby Metroid.
My favourite movie: The Crying Game, The Man with Two Mother Brains.
My favourite TV show: Adam-12.
My dream is to: Start an adventure with all of the upgrades I risked life and limb to earn in my previous one. I know, I'm so selfish, right?
On a first date I'd like to: Take it easy for once, maybe just drift aimlessly through space for a while and admire strange worlds from a distance for a change. Also, since you finished reading my profile fast enough, I can reveal that I'm actually a woman.

Dude I am all over Link.
"Honey, it doesn't do me any good unless I can have the whole thing."
Oh yeah, he's so fabulous~ n_n All my heart container are belong to you Link~
We have so much in common I just know it'll work out
we'll have to work on those horrible puns though...

MasterGraveheart said:
Kinda harsh on Samus, there, weren'cha? Ah well. I still take her out of the selections, but also take Pikachu for a loving pet.
Of those not listed, I choose Tifa Lockhart, Sheena Fujibayashi, and, of course, Shantae.

These were really awesome! Tingle's page was just what I expected xD

SkywardLink98 said:
LOL.

WingedFish said:
I wonder if Pit has a sister... Also, I think he should go out with Samus. That would be an interesting sight. XD
#6
Deviant_Mugen said:
Samus will always be my pick...
#7
RudyBelmont said:
If Simon had a sister... But SAMUS! I LOVE YOU!

RudyBelmont said:
@MasterGraveheart IF you noticed, these are only first-party Nintendo characters.

Noire said:
Dear lord, was that a Sonichu reference in there? D:
Tingle's was definitely my favorite, I can totally see him writing a profile like that lol. Mega Man's was fantastic too.
#10
Dev said:
This is the coolest feature to come on on this site in a long time. Pit needs some more love!
Where's Wario's profile? Surely he needs to share the love too.
#11
3Dash said:
What the heck?!?!?!?!?!?! LOL!!!!!! That's sooooooooooooooooo funny! I loved Luigi's page.
#12
3Dash said:
Ok so like am I going to see a few people changing their avatars before too long? Like me, @NintyFan, few other people that have those avatars....

SegaGamer93 said:
What an interesting article. I dont see Amy from the Sonic series there.... but oh well. Happy Valentines Day to all!
#14
HanuKwanzMasBif said:
These are great. SO MANY PUNS WITH PIT THOUGH... It's hilarious but painful. I can't believe I didn't see the bird one coming.

pixelman said:
The Samus one is gooooold. And Link's... hahaha.
#16
Dazza said:
Tingle's dating profile really cracked me up! Hilarious stuff @Chicken_Brutus

bezerker99 said:
I'm working on a mixed tape right now for Tingle. Poor guy - music is the food of love!
#18
CaptainSquid said:
Well there's no way anyone would take someone who hasn't ever played unicycle hockey. What a loser.
#19
turtlelink said:
Back of zerker! Tingle is miine~
#20
WingedFish said:
My favourite music: "Angel" by Shaggy, "Cupid, Draw Back Your Bow" by Sam Cooke, "Cupid, Reclaim the Three Sacred Treasures and Fight Some Eggplants" by Palutena. Palutena writes music? @NintyFan I'm honestly surprised that Pit even got a profile, considering how "new" (not technically but you get my point) he is. And I think we all know what Wario loves.
#21
Aviator said:
Oh my lord Tingle is amazing. Well done Phil, well done.
#22
Bazly said:
Man Phil you are just all about the puns eh?
I think there should have been some gay profiles... though I mean look at the way Pit dresses... come on now... he's totally mine.

WingedFish said:
@Bazly o.0

Peacock said:
Wait... that Pikachu is a male, because it doesn't have a notch on its tail! Does that mean... D:
But more importantly, /me contacts SMEXIZELDAMAN about the Tingle section
#25
SlyGuy29 said:
Where is Kirby? Besides that, I love you Samus!
#26
DkFluttershyGuy said:
Samus, I'll be your huckleberry! You can screw attack me like mad anytime...
(thinking back to enemies being blown up into a million pieces by it in the past) Or, perhaps not.
Intriguing to think of the lingerie Samus would wear under her Power Suit on Valentine's Day! (always incentive to finish a Metroid as quickly as possible). Her job would probably be rough on a pair of stockings though.

Flowerlark said:
I haven't laughed this hard in a long time.
And back away, all you other ladies, Link is mine!

SpaceKappa said:
This is the best thing I've ever read. EVER.

@RudyDog13: Simon Belmont isn't a first party Nintendo Character.

Winnie the Pooh is the most attractive Nintendo character so far.

Hokori said:
Otaku needs Love
I need a certain girl to talk to me
#42
Philip_J_Reed said:
Glad you all enjoyed. This was a blast to write. A few of you mentioned other profiles we could have done, and believe me, we considered them!
We had to save a few for next year though!
@Bensei:
Isn't Cpt. Olimar married already?
Read a little further.

Buneary: Bun Bun Buneary
Sonic: Whoa, hold on a sec. I can't understand you.
Buneary: BUN-EARY!
*Buneary clobbers Sonic with Dizzy Punch.

kyuubikid213 said:
Whoa, I love this! NL, you made me not hate Valentine's Day anymore.
#52
Odnetnin said:
Great read, Chicken. Best feature I've read in a while.
Also, CommandgirlVideo is the only one for me (it's OK because CV's dead and she's a lonely widow).
#53
theblackdragon said:
@Oddy: wtf, mega-harsh >:[
#54
JayceJa said:
Luigi's absolutely cracked me up
#55
Odnetnin said:
@TBD Reality is harsh.
#56
Knuckles said:
Great read, im going to say something similar to Oddy. Best read for laughs in a bit, but i expect it to change in a week or so when NL comes out with another work of gaming literature in one way or another=)
#57
StarDust said:
Seriously guys, only one female to like ten males? Where's Peach and Daisy, or even Rosalina for that matter?
#58
Tsukun said:
"I like to play the following sports: Basketball. I've got a killer hookshot!"
And that was where I fell over laughing.
#59
Noire said:
Oh no, an article on NL that doesn't specifically cater to the ravenous needs of boys~
Those who whine are deepest in the closet. ^__^
besides in the end, it doesn't matter if they're all men or women, Mr. Brutus wrote them all so it's really him you're crushing on
#60
bonesy91 said:
The tingle one had me in tears! This was awesome.
#61
Ultra128 said:
That was pretty epic, but I do agree with StarDust; you could've put more females, like Zelda/Sheik.
#62
LzQuacker said:
@Phoenixborn: I dunno, I'm satisfied here
Also, Pit wants to impersonate Samus? Did he play Other M yet?
#63
NX01Trekkie1992 said:
Oh God Tingle
#64
Knux said:
Awesome article, CB! Tingle's profile was epic!
#65
Raylax said:
Oh god. 90% of people on Facebook are Tingle.
#66
theblackdragon said:
@StarDust: Considering it's always been a sausage fest around here at NL, it's par for the course to be honest :3
#67
beatalLiToaD said:
This was too much awesome for me to handle yesterday. Guys, CB, you’ve outdone yourselves once again.
It will be very hard to chose characters and make something this good next year. With the other characters already mentioned, Mallo, Nikki, Resetti, Tom Nook, K.K. Slider, … there are no limits, really.
It made for an amazing change of style though that gives this Feature the last bit of epic. HoF and wtf status . easily.
I cry foul at profile number nine though. That’s not a game character, it’s nl-users!
@Lordlz(#63): Just wait until you play Uprising …

SteamMistwalker said:
@Bazly
oh dude back off pit! ive been waiting for him for 25 years!!!

GamerZack7 said:
@Bulbasaurus Rex
LOLOLOL! I actually get that one about Dawn's Buneary! xD
Nice job, CB! One of the best NLife articles in recent months!

TwilightPoint said:
I would have to choose link, then he can take me on an adventure to save princess zelda.

...And when he saves her I can just take Zelda by the hand and sneak through the back door
#71
Fuzzy said:
"Basketball. I've got a killer hookshot!" Oh no you didn't...
Some of your best work here Brutus. Great work again. I bet it's a lot better writing when you haven't been forced through a 1* game.

iroxursox said:
hey olimar is married and has two kids for crying out loud
#73
Lobster said:
This was truly fantastic. At the very least, best thing I've read all month.
#74
SMEXIZELDAMAN said:
@StarDust Well Rosalina is already claimed as mine and she is nekkid and in my mansion right now so....
#75
AutumnShantel said:
How did I miss that, the "Mother" and "Other M" thing was really clever, and PF is my favorite band

Thanks, that was one of the things I was most proud of.
