What artistic Nintendo style do you prefer?

[mach7]

Another poll, although this time I just wanted to create a poll that didn't require much thought compared to the last 2 ones I made:


Since some of you peeps have accounts in deviant art, I just wanted to know the majority of your taste here in this community!!

Do you guys prefer the:

Anime style: Phoenix write, Castlevania PoR, DoS characters, Pokemon trainers , Pit's new look, more

Semi anime style: Advanced Wars characters, Zelda and Link( I'm not sure where to classify this one)

The hammer physics cartoon style: Mario, Warioware, Warioland, Toonlink, Pikmin, The old Pit's design

Uber cute style: Kirby, Stafy, Pokemon

Kick ass animal style: Starfox series, Animal Crossing

The serious look: Like some of Link's newer games, Metroid

Comic book style: Viewtifll Joe( forgot the spelling)

The other styles not listed here: care to add?


Well, i'll only list these to keep it simple.

And just saying as for my preference I like the cartoony style of the characters from the Marioverse, their basic design is easy to process, but I also like the comic book style too.

WHY are you making so many new topics and polls?! I've expressed my distaste for poll before (and I believe I mention it in the forum rules). Open discussion is ALWAYS preferred to polls. If you think making it a poll will keep the topic alive for longer, you're wrong.

Fine Fine, I'll stop. The reason why I make polls, is not for longevity of the discussion, its just for the straight out answer I get from then, but since you dislike em, i'l stop simple as that.

I'm happy that you answered this poll though ;D

Whatever style the early 90s Nintendo Power era official art was. Y'know, the Super Mario World, Super Metroid, Wario Land, etc. era. I love that style and era!

I don't really have a favorite style. The important thing is that the style fits with the game.

Then you're on the wrong forum, man! This is a place where long discussion is standard trade. If you want quick answers with little to no reasoning or intelligent thought put into them, I recommend places like Smashboards or GameFAQs. Heck, DKVine is great for that sort of thing too, 'cause they're all so blind to everything that falls beyond their already-established preconceptions.

But to answer the question in, er, question, I agree with WanderingShadow. So long as the art style fits the game, that's alI really require of a game. The untextured models used for official art in contemporary Mario gamesbore the hell out of me, though, and plain styles like Phoenix Wright or GTA4 - while not unpleasant to look at - don't catch my eye. It's when something is really different - Okami, Megaman Zero, The World Ends with You, Jet Grind Radio - that I find myself really digging it. They break traditions, they're stylized, and they're fresh - they look like something you've never seen before, ever. That's my favorite art style.

Well, my favorite art stems from GBA games. Most notably Golden Sun, Mario and Luigi, and Drill Dozer.

Alright, Sasha Sunshine, I'll tell you how things work around here since you seem pretty new. We at NinDB are pretty lenient, and any negative attraction you've gotten to your posts is explicitly because you've violated some kind of board rules multiple times over. We're willing to let you off if you learn to stop what you're doing, and you show promise, which is why you haven't gotten anything more than a verbal warning for all these obnoxious polls.

Second, we're not like any other forum you've ever been too. We talk, we discuss, we debate, we try to keep things intelligent and researched. I recommended a ton of other forums before if you want one-liner answers that lack thought, but who likes reading lists of opinions without explination? (Lists, by the way, are also one of the forum no-no's under most exceptions.)

And lastly, Newbie, keep your offline stuff offline, regardless of how trifling it is. Hunger is a feeble excuse for acting like you have clout on a forum you've only been on for less than a month.

Thought I'd just jump on this one before some wag does it for me (looking at you, Flamedude)...

I would reword this as:

"Fryguy64 wants us to talk, discuss, debate and try to keep things intelligent and researched."

But alas... my wishes do not always reflect reality.
