I think they even took it off the shelf for awhile, and it was really rare..

Like one of her powers included crying and it would flood an area or getting angry...

I actually wanted to play that game because it looked like a fun platformer, and is probably pretty rare. I mean, it's a first party Nintendo title that got next to no press until after it was released. It is pretty damn sexist, though.

Holy shit was nintendo's tagline for the DS really "touching is good"

I love how so hilariously not self aware Nintendo is. I don't think they even can be.

Seems to be going for $20 on amazon not that much.

I think Dragon Quest V is like $70 CIB?

I couldn't find a trailer.

But it's a game about a female and all her powers are based on her emotions..

I don't see how it's not.

I still have it.

It's a pretty enjoyable game overall, if a bit on the easy side. I especially loved the music. Shame the Perry storyline never really went anywhere; I feel that game could have benefited from a sequel to really flesh it out and make it it's own thing, kinda like Luigi's Mansion 2 did.

yea that was a real slogan, and nintendo was very aware of the nature of it.

i remember seeing lots of DS commercials on adult swim and comedy central and shit like that where you'd have guys in mario suits feeling people up or w/e. nintendo tried to target an older audience with the DS (hence why they killed off the Game Boy line) and so they had this less kid friendly ad campaign for a little bit

Not outrage as much as a lot of silly jokes. If it came out NOW, tumblr would be on fire.

Powers based on emotions, why does that seem familiar? Well, thanks for the answer.

This is what I was thinking, tbh.

But there's never really been much before or since to imply that Peach is a particularly emotional character by nature, so I can see it from that angle, like "we need a gimmick for this Peach game... I got it! Mood swings, because she's a woman!"

It would be acceptable if she had crying or anger animations in previous games.

You know how it's sexist. You may not agree that it's sexist, but you have to be dumber than a box of stamps to not see why people would believe it is sexist.

There are male video game characters that have cried too.

I think Peach's crying is more to do with the fact that she's a princess...she's sheltered, protected, etc. She isn't some tough girl raised and roughed up on the streets.


Even if it's not sexist it's stupid game design..

And her crying is just one of her emotions. One of them is eating and she grows fat and is able to knock down heavy pathways.

Sounds to me like anyone upset over a video game being sexist is more emotional than Peach.

It's sexist in the good way, she uses her womanly emotions to save the day, kinda like how that old show on Adult swim called Minoriteam was about characters using stereotypes to fight crime.

Peach is one of the most poorly-handled female characters ever tbh. She's been damseled a million times, and even when she's not, even when she's supposed to be empowered, her powers are based on ridiculous stereotypes.

Except in the Mario+Rabbids game where her weapon is a shotgun....

TFW a new, hideous rival for Mario for one game gets his own sequel/spin-off and it has 10 times better gameplay than a beloved princess that's been around since the beginning, and didn't get her game until 10 years after the made-up rival did.

I played that game back in the day. It was pretty alright, but you had to save ALL the toads to fight the final boss so I said fuck that and gave up.

The game wasn't good enough to backtrack and get all the toads from every level.

I think you're underestimating Nintendo.

Not every character needs to be a bad ass. The Mario series needs a legit female adventurer, but I don't know if the pink princess is best suited for that spot.
