Now some of you might be wonder what this list really means. Well think of it like this… imagin your a kid playing whatever system you had at the time and playing these really awome games with these really awome characters. Then imagain your kidself getting sucked up in some sort of time matrix and going into the future to this time. After your kidself strugglest with the idea of ipods, the cost of movies now-a-days, and the decressing amount of arcades, what do you think he… or she, there are girl gamers, would say after looking at the new games of those awsome character you used to play. That’s what this list is all about, these are the characters who, back then were the the fucken bomb… but now… not so much. This is Moving Left TV’s Top 7 Characters who’ve, just… lost their touch
7. Samus
Now i know alot of people might get mad that i even put Samaus on the list, but you know what… i bet those same people never played Metriod: Other M. Now do you know how we all veiwed Samus before she talked? She was a silent character who had a strong sence of duty and a wicked-ass arm cannon. Hell we didn’t even know she was a chick intill the very end of the original Metriod Game… But now… yeah shes a little bitch. And really, after playing this game, this changed my entire outlook on our power suited bounty hunter. If you don’t know what i mean then this is what the rage is about: Samus in Other M is completely pistol whiped by her ex commanding officer Adam. I mean you already have every single upgrade in your arsonal but guess what, you can’t use them unless you have primission. *playing the game* gah… ughhh Die you mother… *game tells me to use missle* Ohhh now i can use my missles. Dam it samus… i liked you better when you didn’t talk
6. Ray-man
Ohhh yeah… Rayman was the shit back in the day… i mean his 2d games were a huge hit and sure his jump into 3d wasn’t spectacualr but now… you hardly see him anymore. Now he’s being pushed asside by Raving Rabbids. And i’m not going to lie, the raving rabbids games, thats rabbids with a “D” not a “T”, are fun and can be used to kill a few hours with some frends but i want my ol pal ray ray back. And yes i do know about the episodic rayman games coming out and they look awsome… but that isn’t here yet and looking at rayman’s past… he’s loss his touch… poor guy.
5. Power Rangers
Its Morphing Time, or atleast thats what i used to yell out in the playground of my school when i was a kid. Power Rangers were a big deal back in the 90’s and so where the games. I used to play The Power Rangers Movie Game on the Sega Genesis and it was badass… 2 play co-op even when playing as zords. And nintendo had a few great hits too… But now… *Show Clip* ughh, maybe its me but the lazy as hell gameplay and story lines of these new Power Ranger Games just feel… bad. How could it end up like this, how hard is it to make a game about team of kungfu fighters. Power Rangers games have been through alot… but like their show, its not as good as it used to be. *Show clip* Also kimberly was hot
4. Banjoo-Kazooie
This duo had the 2 best games that the Nintendo 64 had to offer. Even inventing new things like the stop and swap feature. Banjoo-Kazooie had 2 things going for it. Great Platforming, and funny 4th Wall Jokes. But after games jumped from ps2’s and gamecube’s to the next gen concules we have today… we had our next sequel. So after years of fans saying that they love the platforming, what did Rare do? They cut out the platforming. Now i’m building cars and planes… this isn’t Banjoo-Kazooie, if you replace these two video game icons with some new character, then i bet it wouldn’t have made one of xbox’s platuimun hits
3. Pacman
Now for thoses who really aren’t into the video games might be wondering how this *show clip* can loose its touch. I mean the idea of pacman is so simple that its pretty hard to screw up. Well even though Pac-Man had some O.K. Remixes of the old format, he also had this: *Show Clips* These games are awful, and it wasn’t even the jump to 3-D that killed him, he was like this since the Sega Genesis. *Show clips* Wow… thats pathatic
2. Crash Bandicoot
When i was a kid i always thought that Crash Bandicoot was basicly the mascot of Sony, i mean his games were great, his spinoffs were excllent, so what could hurt this organge animal… Biker. I Mean sure he had a “not so good” game on the gamecube and other sequils of spinoffs, that acutaly did good. His latest games have me at a loss for words. *sshow clip* Granted Crash isn’t the smartest, but he wasn’t this dumb. And crash should atempt to talk… period
1. Sonic
For number one, i had to pick a video game icon who made such a huge impact on the wolrd of gaming, that the mention of change of look, premise would send everyone one in a rage when this icon was in the limelight. Sonic is starting to turn though… with games such as Sonic 4 Ep 4, Sonic Colors, and Sonic Gen. It looks like he can get out of this runt, but i’m sorry Sonic but it you hit the wall SO hard, that you deserve to make it to the number 1 slot.
