Boo Destroyer similarly has great ambitions for content. I don't think a site like NinDB could exist without contributions from people tuned to see things that the rest of us are simply unable to - and are willing to put the work in to make it happen. Er...what?  What are you trying to get at there? I was merely suggesting that in your various MSN discussions with me, you are keen to see Nintendo Database with a lot more content, and have offered to help on a number of occasions - including the Trophy Guide. |

Don't worry Boo Destroyer, it's a good thing.
Also, I'm going to jump on the "Nester is awesome" bandwagon, and say YOUR AWESOME ;D

I get it now, but that was posted prior to bringing that up on MSN.
Oh yes, where we were originally...
If they keep mentioning Sarasaland in Daisy's descriptions and stuff, why not bring it back?
But I like to assume that it's died out and been forgotten and left in ruin now.

Daisy however is just a princess of some land. And was she even created by Gunpei Yokoi? Yeah, she was. As well as Tatanga and Wario. Is it definite that Gunpei Yokoi created Wario? Because in the credits of the WarioWare games, a man named Hiroji Kiyotake is said to be the original designer of Wario. He also was the director of Super Mario Land 2, Wario Land and VB Wario Land. I know there's a difference between the creator and the designer of a character. Gunpei Yokoi was the producer of the three named games, but is there a really reliable (preferably official) source which tells that Yokoi created Wario? Kirby was created by the director of Kirby's Dream Land, Masahiro Sakurai, and not by the producer, Makoto Kanai. Fryguy does surely know who created Wario, doesn't he? |

Here's what it says on his MarioWiki article. "he also created the characters Princess Daisy, Wario, and Pit from Kid Icarus to name a few". See for yourself. |

Hiroji Kiyotake is credited as a graphic designer in Super Mario Land 2, and given his following credits as character creator, that's a fairly good indication that he was the original designer of Wario.
I'd be very surprised if Gunpei Yokoi was a character creator for any of these games.

Here's what it says on his MarioWiki article. "he also created the characters Princess Daisy, Wario, and Pit from Kid Icarus to name a few". See for yourself. This piece of info has no citation. The article you linked even says that Yokoi directed SML and SML2, which is false, he was the producer. Everyone can write everything there. I wrote the Kiyotake article, but I have a source, the game credits I mentioned.  Wikipedia has a citation, but I can't believe a source about Wario which tells that Yokoi created him, but doesn't even mention Kiyotake, who designed Wario by any means. By the way, Kiyotake also designed Samus. Hiroji Kiyotake is credited as a graphic designer in Super Mario Land 2, and given his following credits as character creator, that's a fairly good indication that he was the original designer of Wario. Hm, so was he "only" the designer or also the creator? I already know for sure that he was the designer, but was he the creator? Confused... I'd be very surprised if Gunpei Yokoi was a character creator for any of these games. If he wasn't, why do so many people credit him for character creation? Well, there is a difference between designer and creator... Said that in my posting, too. Fryguy's answer wasn't exact enough, though, which is why ask him again. |

Yeah, just a little. All of us fanboys had dreams of working for the Big N someday. Sadly, if I ever did, I'd have to move to Germany |
