Mario has had a few
Zelda had one
Donkey Kong had one
Kirby had one
Pokémon has one
F-Zero had one
Fire Emblem had an OVA
Animal Crossing had a movie
Star Fox is the only major series without one, would anyone like to see one made?
slowly, i'm beginning to think that Star Fox is the "b****** child" of the Nintendo Multiverse....
Anyway, i'd like to see.... :eekdance: <-- this guy....
i actually can't think of anything.
StarFox may not have much creativity in its show though. I mean Kirby had hundreds of random monsters (which some inspired future bosses in the game). i also think that this was one of very, very few animes that 4Kids made better than the Japanese version for multiple reasons.

Well first off, I like the puns and jokes they put in there where there were very few present in the original. I could give less than a crap if 4Kids deleted some scenes or took out bad words like "sh!t* or crap* because the last thing they wanted was to get sued. I also likes the voices given to the characters (especially Dedede's and Escargoon) because it gave them some personality, but that's just my opinion.

What were some of these puns? I remember pretty much everything about the series but that.
They need a Wario cartoon, simmilar to Phenias and Ferb's more "dramatic" 30 minute episodes, with some Mustache puns, and Warioware humor put in, "Warioware stinks" could be the name of the show, it could revolve around Wario's plans to either scam citizens, or gain fame, utimately failing unless he considers other peoples input...
...Which he sometimes claims as his own ideas...
...even showing the origin of WarioMan...
...and Wario's rivalry with Captain Syrup, (no doubt Wario would downplay her signifigance, given his personality).

Quote from: Mr._L on March 13, 2011, 10:54:59 PM
Why is this about yu gi ou?
I was going with the conversation as it flowed.
At one point it was about smash bros, in which one person compared it to the Battle City Arc in the Yu-Gi-Oh Managa & Anime. This same person said that the Subspace Emissary would of ruined it; later on drawing it as a compairson to the Noah Filler Arc in the Anime.
Anyway, i don't think an arc on the Subspace Emissary would be filler. It may interupt the equivalent of battle city, it is what happen(s)(ed) in the game, and therefore would not be filler.
It's quality, however, is independent of being filler. (At least, in my opinion).
You people had forgotten about DiC's
Captain N: The Game Master and Ruby-Spears'
Saturday Supercade!? Crossover series did exist before, and
they were terrible!In my opinion, a Star Fox series won't really work out. At least, not like wholesome series with several seasons and whatnot. I would more or less prefer a movie or a mini-series. I find Star Fox to work far better as an anime with both traditional (2D characters) and computer-generated (3D vehicles) animation.

Actually, I would say the Legend of Zelda series has one and a half one, should anyone consider the Zelda characters' appearances in
Captain N: The Game Master as significant enough.
There are even some old rumours about a Zelda anime that was planned a few years ago, but I that probably never came to be.
If it did though, it would easily be the best Zelda animated thing ever.

If you want a Star Fox show watch the old Bucky O"Hare cartoon, it might as well be called Star Fox The Animated Series, plenty of similarities and it really wouldn't surprise you if Fox showed up in one episode to help Bucky.
As far as previous cartoons I'll do quick reviews of them:
Super Mario Super Show: From what I've seen nothing great, lame plots or lame parodies.
Super Mario Bros 3: Huge improvement much more entertaining, goofy fun.
The Legend Of Zelda: Pretty decent cartoon, gets too much of a bad rap, also take into account all they had to work with was Zelda 1 which didn't have the deepest story
Captain N: Plenty of flaws but if you can look past them, the amount of awesome fanservice through out the sereis is worth it.
Kirby: Fun show if you don't mind being overwhelmed with cuteness.
Pokemon: Fun show if you don't mind the running gags and can stick through the filler episodes.
I'd love to see Saturday Supercade but that show is pretty rare, not really a crossover show, saw the first episiode of F-Zero, looked decent but too bad the english dub was cancelled. Haven't seen Super Mario World but hoping to do it soon.
As far as the future of Nintendo cartoons I don't think its too bright, at least definitely not western cartoons like the ones we had in the 80s/early 90s, that was when NOA and NCL were separate entities but now that NCL calls all the shots and NOA has no real power they can't license the hell out of the franchises like they used to do, heck they can't even market the games how they want or choose which games will be localized if NCL doesn't let them. Normally you'd think it'd be best the parent company to have control over its international dealings but in this case NOA did a fantastic job in the 80s/90s and some of that magic is gone since NCL took over, same thing happened with Sega and Sega of America.

This disappoints me greatly too. NCL seems way too scared to push out Nintendo products to that extent now.

Lemme try to explain this like I do similarly in a wiki.
The Bucky O'Hare cartoon, which is formally titled as
Bucky O'Hare and the Toad Wars, was an animated television series from the early 1990s. It was based on an obscure, furry 1980s comic book series about an anthropomorphic, green-furred hare who space-treks with his comrades saving planets from an empire of genocidal toads. It shares some common plot elements with the Star Fox series, but personally I feel it is nothing like Star Fox. The Bucky O'Hare universe runs in a very different canon, as at one point early in the series Bucky's team mysteriously gain an ally in a ten-year-old human boy from "our dimension."
What sort of cartoons did you watch in the early 1990s, Tacopill? Bucky O'Hare is one of those things that has quite a cult behind it! Everyone seems to remember the TV series, if not the comics.
By the way, for those of you who do remember Bucky O'Hare, are you aware of this CG animated short (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dM5j2KVxEpg) that was released... a while ago? It was produced by Bucky's owners (Continuity Productions), and it is more faithful to the comics than the old TV series was. This short is nothing to be excited about really. It's merely an experiment. There has yet to be any announcements for an actual Bucky O'Hare reincarnation. There were talks about a movie (http://blog.newsarama.com/2006/10/19/neal-adams-to-direct-produce-bucky-ohare-film/), but it's been a while. You could grab a new copy of the old comics (http://www.vanguardproductions.net/bucky/index.html) though.

I've actually never heard of the acronym. So, thank you explaining that. :)
Oh I'm not trying to argue that Bucky is in continuity with Star Fox. Its just that the show had plenty of similarities beyond the fact that both feature animal characters in space. The show is obviously influenced by Star Wars and other sci-fi fiction in general like Star Fox. Both universes are very much consistent with each other that if they crossed over it would make perfect sense that they are one universe, not that it would ever happen. Overall the show is decent for an early 90s show, don't expect to be blown away or a show that I'd highly recommend but if you're interested definitely check it out it has plenty of redeeming stuff in it especially if you like Star Fox.
