Deadpool Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 I've had this thread on my mind for a long time and I'm in school with nothing to do, so here goes. I was wondering if you were to create a standard line of mates (3 reg packs, one variant) for all the video games in the world, how would you handle it? Make a list of the packs like this: Wave 1 Master Chief/Cortana (Halo 3) Gordan Freeman/Alyx Vance (Half-Life 2) Mario/Bowser (Super Mario Bros) Active Camo Master Chief/Cortana (variant) Make sure to list the game each pack is from. You can also list accesories such as: Master Chief/Cortana *Assault Rifle, Grenade, Pistol Gordan Freeman/Alyx Vance *Crowbar, Gravity Gun If you want to do four packs for games thats fine too, though that's not really the thought here. Anyway, something like: Halo 3 Box Set Master Chief The Arbiter Sargent Johnson Cortana So... After making the most thought-out post of my life, here's my wave ideas. Wave 1 Master Chief/Cortana (Halo 3) *Assault Rifle, Grenade, Dual SMGs Kratos/Ares (God of War) *Flaming Swords Mario/Bowser (Super Mario Bros) *F.L.U.D.D VARIANT: Master Chief(Active Camo)/Cortana Wave 2 Gordan Freeman/Alyx Vance (Half-Life 2) *Crowbar, Headcrab, Gravity Gun Scorpion/Sub-Zero (Mortal Kombat: Armageddon) *Spear, Ice Ball Cloud/Sephiroth (Final Fantasy 7) *Buster Sword, Masamune VARIANT: Scorpion(Frozen)/Sub-Zero Wave 3 Link/Ganondorf (Legend Of Zelda: Twilight Princess) *Master Sword, Bow, Gerudo Sword Solid Snake/Liquid Ocelot (Metal Gear Solid 4) *Rifle, Cardboard Box, Revolver Mitsurugi/Taki (Soul Calibur 4) *Sword, Knives VARIANT: Mitsurugi(Alt-Costume)/Taki Wave 4 Simon Belmont/Dracula (Castlevania) *Whip Sonic/Tails (Sonic the Hedgehog 2) *Ring Captain Falcon/Black Shadow (F-Zero GX) *Falcon Punch VARIANT: Super Sonic/Tails Remeber, be creative and put whatever games you like! I'll think of more later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobsterman Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 I've wanted a classic gaming series for a long time. Series 1 Mario/Megaman Samus Aran/Kid Icarus Sonic/Bionic Commando Chase: Fire Mario/Charged-up Megaman Series 2 Luigi/Bowser (3") Simon Belmont/Snake (Metal Gear) Bill (Contra)/Link Chase: Lance (Contra)/Battle-damaged Link However, I realize this would be next to impossible, as it would involve wrestling licenses out of four different companies. So, I'd be more than happy with a four-pack that sticks to Nintendo-licensed characters: Mario Bowser Link Samus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 I like Lobsterman's list a lot. . .maybe throw in a Little Mac instead of a Sonic, and that would be a Nintendo Minimates dream set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, I'd be more than happy with a four-pack that sticks to Nintendo-licensed characters: Mario Bowser Link Samus Of course, you would then have to make a villain pack. I would replace Bowser with, maybe, Kirby and put Bowser in with Lord Ganondorf, Dedede, and probably Zant. then make an exclusive two-pack army builder with Space Pirates. after that, another Heroes/Villains set of 4-Packs with: Fox Zelda Luigi DK as heroes and Wolf Meta Knight K'Rool Vaati as villains. Must haves for later are Pit, Pikachu, Mewtwo, Captain Olimar, Falco, and Captain Falcon. See where I'm going with this? All DST needs to do is gain the license for Smash Bros and pretty much every gamer's dream has come true. Heck, there is even Sonic and Snake included there.

I really don't think Smash Bros would make for good minimates. Kirby and Meta-Knight would look ridiculous. Also, there is the issue of R.O.B (that is a locked character, and a pretty important one at that so be careful), who's somethat unconventional.

NewGoblin23 Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 Smash bros. minimates would be fine imo. Although Kirby and meta knight would be a bit odd the rest would kick all sorts of ass. Heres what id like Maro/Bowser - Mario has a fire ball accessory Yoshi/Peach - Yoshi comes with tongue and peach comes with umbrella Sonic/Snake - Snake could come with all sorts of accessories and sonic could have a spring? Fox/Falco - Blasters for them both and maybe a reflector Link/Ganandorf - Link needs his shield, shieth, and sword Zelda/Sheik - Sheik could have her nails but thats about all I can think of Donkey Kong/Diddy Kong - Diddy Kong needs his guns. A couple bananas would be good too Kirby/Metknight - Meta knight could have his sword and a hammer for kirby Pikachu/jigglypuff - thunder bolts was all I could think of Samus/Captain Falcon - Remove the helmet and armor and theres zero suit, that would make me soo happy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadpool Posted March 30, 2008 Author Share Posted March 30, 2008 I just don't think Nintendo lends itself to the minimate form. Too many distinctive designs. I do like the Samus idea though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewGoblin23 Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 Theres only a couple that dont work imo, kirby and meta knight being two, but the rest do imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 Pikachu and Jigglypuff? Bowser? I don't think they'd work well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewGoblin23 Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 (edited) Forgot about the pokemon, but I can see bowser working. Maybe you guys are right, some will not work, so a smashbros set wouldnt be good. BUt a nintendo all stars would imo, just take the ones that would work Edited March 30, 2008 by NewGoblin23 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 Pikachu and Jigglypuff? Bowser? I don't think they'd work well. I think a Bowser 2.5 inch Minimate could definitely work. He's bipedal and is generally anthropomorphic in his physical characteristics. I also think a Pikachu could work if they did him like that BSG dog thing. The problem I see is that some of these would require serious sculpting on heads and body parts, which would take away from their Minimate-ness.

NewGoblin23 Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 Exactly, they wouldnt really look like mates and just wouldnt fit in imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadpool Posted March 31, 2008 Author Share Posted March 31, 2008 Another huge issue is proportion. The Nintendo guys have no laws of physics with their bodies! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrionEXL Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 I would like it if they did it by Company like Wave 1 Capcom Pack Megaman/Protoman Dante/Vergil Leon Kennedy/Ada Wong Viewtiful Joe/Sexy Silvia Wave 2 Nintendo Link/Zelda Mario/Luigi Donkey Kong/Diddy Kong Ness/ Lucas Theres simply so many characters that can go there. Wave 3 Sega Sonic/Knuckles Max/Ken(Shinning Force) Rolf/Rudolf(Phantasy Star) Dude From flashback/Alien(he didnt have a name so...) im sure theres better ones for this wave.

That would actually make a lot of sense, considering licensing and what not. Actually, the more I think about it the more I realize that Video game Mates would for the most part be best suited to having box sets just like movie mates. Most games on their own don't have big enough casts to sell the waves. Another great idea, if possible, would be to have four packs with four main characters from different games. Imagine having Mario, Kratos, The Master Chief, and Megaman in a four pack. Now THAT would sell like hotcakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matimoo Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 I would like... Crash/Cortex (Crash Bandicoot) with wumpa fruit, gun and crate Eggman/Shadow (Sonic The Hedgehog) with chaos emeralds, and eggman being 3" Ratchet/Clank (Ratchet & Clank) with Clank being smaller than ratchet and also a clank backpack piece Yoshi/Koopa (Mario Bros) with extended tounge addon, and a removable shell on the koopa Variant: Maria /Super Shadow The only thing is large headed characters (Yoshi, Shadow, Cortex.etc) and complicated pieces (Crash has no neck, and a smaller than 2" mate?) would make chars like this quite unlikely.

Solid Snake/Raiden (Metal Gear Solid) Agent 47/Laura Croft (Hitman/Tombraider) Oh cool, even an exclusive: Halo Spartan 4-Pack (2 red spartans and 2 blue spartans; assorted weapons) Or we just do a Halo box set, with a God of War set or wave. I'd need Poseidon and Dark Odyssey variants. I'd also go fora Wii Fit two pack, especially for the female instructor and the "view from behind" option. Ok, time to be serious: Box sets: Halo: Master Chief Active Camo Spartan Arbiter Cortana ^Technically, besides Cortana, this could be an Army-builder set. Some would just have to treat Arbiter and Chief as non-key characters. God of War: Kratos Medusa Ares Zeus Athena ^Okay, just to set something straight. I'd buy this set for the Gods themselves, not for GoW. Two Pack Exclusives: Halo: Spartan Spartan ^Colors could vary depending on retailer/store. Not a bad idea, if i do say so myself. God of War Poseidon Kratos Dark Odyssey Kratos ^Loved the figures, want the minimates. Wii Fit Female Instructor Male Instructor ^No, i actually wasn't joking. I'd buy this, with the mini-scaled Fit Board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
