Sorry if I'm being harsh, but I honestly find Nintendo's Characterization and Lore severely lacking. Seriously, they can't make good characterization for crap! They either ignore potential characters or worlds(Sarasaland), or ruins them completely(Princess Toadstool/Peach wasn't that bad back then. She could have been made into a better character) either because of Pride, some "Honor Code", selfishness, or just laziness.
Really, I feel alot of what Nintendo has could have been more! I know all of you out there feel the same way in some aspect!
I also feel this way for the world(or Universe) of Capcom as well.
