Why did Nintendo all of a sudden start over sexualizing their female protagonists? Anyone else really bothered by this?

That costume is from a GBA game, so, they didn't just suddenly start.
I'm not a fan of it really, zero suit kinda ruined Samus's image. On the other hand though, ass and tits are nice, but they came at a sacrifice.
>>322125430
poor form, anon. Perhaps you should try again. maybe4more times
Yes, but the whole bishoujo thing is really popular in Nippon because no one's having sex there anymore and waifus are all the men have

She's definitely sexy in that outfit, but it's in no way sexualized. It's actually pretty reasonable.

I don't understand how this quote could have been relevant before the internet. In person, you can see someone's emotions and more clearly tell they're being sarcastic, and I think you're more likely to say you're being sarcastic in person than on the internet, where you may allow an idiot to believe you were being genuine. I'd like to see a community that was actually ruined in this manner in his time.
>>322125984
are you posting cropped porn as proof the character is sexualized?
You're kidding right?

He's saying the OP is participating in Sarcastaball with other participating players, pretending to be retarded and thus getting all these replies arguing against a devil's advocate, or some of the replies themselves are also pretending to be retarded to "join in on the fun", but these replies as well as the OP post are just mere retarded trivial inane garbage

>play as Samus
>sexualized female character for men to look at
>play as Shulk in the same manner
>you're supposed to project yourself onto him
According to feminists, women apparently are incapable of projecting themselves onto characters; that's just not a thing for them for some reason. They also are incapable of enjoying the physical appearance of a character, such as a cute boy, or a big strong man; again, just not a thing for them.
In other words, you cannot project yourself onto Samus and / or lust over Shulk; it's simply impossible.
I hate her damn Smash heels, Sakurai should have used the boots of Zero Mission.
>>322125856
Back then samus was a man and that was a cheat code to make her a woman. Gosh don't you noobs know anything?
>>322128584
> women apparently are incapable of projecting themselves onto characters
pretty much. they don't see an ideal to aspire towards, like a man does when he looks at james bond or indiana jones, they see someone better than them and want to destroy it, not aspire towards it.
>>322126150

I don't even see those as ideals to aspire towards, I see them as completely separate people to me, doing their own thing, and I'm not involved. And more importantly I see them as fictional characters.
Feminists cannot break away from their competitive mentality, and they always project it onto men.
>>322130040
Go ahead and pretend sexualization is what's distracting people from Tr4sh's "gameplay" and not the fact that the game sucks mechanically, loser virgin
>>322129140
Smash threads are already somewhat like that, actually. How often do we see pictures of cute girls from Smash getting posted in Smash threads? Pretty often.
Just look at /vg/, nearly every thread for every game is opened up with a picture of a cute / sexy girl. Feminists are just going to have to get over it, because I think I speak for everyone when I say we don't care.
>>322129140
I meant ass in particular, not smash ass specifically.

>"Somewhat" is acceptable, but have you really seen the DoA threads? That shit is awful, even worse than The Witcher 3 generals on /vg/.
Sexy characters like Samus are simply one element of Smash, whereas DoA games are literally known for their sexy girls. I see no reason to believe Smash threads would become like DoA threads, sometimes girls are already posted in them a bit, sometimes a lot, and I don't have a problem with any of it. There's no solid reason why people shouldn't be able to discuss that particular element of the game; people like to look at attractive women and talk about them, and you should probably just accept it and get over it.

>>322125318
Sex sellsEven if a Nintendo female character isn't sexual we always find a way to do so
The question is:
Why is Wiifit trainer wearinf Yoga pants and having no ass at all.
This is not logically possible. Especially when Samus has all the ass.
>>322133986
wiifit trainer skipped the leg day?
>>322129609
I'm laughing at the random belt thing sticking up like a dick between her tits.
>>322126657
This is what I mean when I say that Fire Emblem char design is fucking ridiculous nowadays.
It's always been there in one way or another, but it was balanced by the fact that Fire Emblem games in general still have classy medieval ladies dressing formally. It had a more simplistic feel.
New Fire Emblem games are going down the Belt and zippers route that Final Fantasy took.
>>322129140
Nice fallacy.
>>322134605
Awakening sold well and it was mostly due to the dating aspect. Tharja is also incredibly popular and wears revealing clothing.
IS is just ramping that up even more because it's what saved their franchise from death.
>>322133986
Is a good question.
>>322125318
I'm really happy for this, at least male isn't sexualized too?
>>322134890
>they're gonna keep doing this in hopes of getting more sales
Holy fuck. Most of the sales came from weeaboos who wanted waifus. Now they're catering to them, shit I know this franchise is gonna become some gay moe dating simulator at some point.
>>322125546
I feel a disconnect between ZSS and Samus. If Metroid Prime 4 leaves ZSS as a 100% completion kind of thing then I feel I won't even think about it.
Samus didn't sell in Japan.
So they tried Waifuing her up.
It apparently didn't work, but like Square with Lightning, they are too stubborn to admit their mistakes. So we get Other M Samus appearing in everything ever for all eternity, even though the game didn't sell particularly well, and her design in that isn't indicative of the series as a whole.

Same. They don't even feel like the same character to me anymore. Specially in Smash, where they are on opposite ends of the tier bracket.
Maybe it's cause I skipped Other M though.

It already has, when your game gets a model viewer where you can put your characters in underwear and set the camera for a pantyshot, you know that this stops being whatever it was about before and it becomes a fanservice game.
If they make another Fire Emblem game, I am willing to bet that the main quest is gonna be short and almost a side aspect. Fire Emblem is waifus now and since you are a fellow brother of the 4chan dominion, you understand as well as I do how fierce, powerful, indestructible and obsessive waifufags can be. any company can see them as a goldmine.

>>322136623
Don't put words in my mouth, asshole. Logically this is the only way to go for this series if it wants to survive.
But some of us, however, liked the GAME that was Fire Emblem, not the half-naked chicks and we are fucking pissed to see that we won't get cool animations like on the GBA or the clusterfuck of RNG shitfest that we all grew to enjoy and see it being sacrificed for a bunch of permavirgins who want to feel appreciated by a character that doesn't fucking exist.
Don't get me wrong, I may be mad, but it doesn't mean that I am in denial, I am at peace with seeing my favorite franchises die because they are dying one by one in front of my eyes since years.
