Mildly Okay Advice
Advice- Stop complaining, Marth!
To future Smashers or whoever happens to find this, but mostly anyone from Fire Emblem or Earthbound-
This applies mostly to Lucina and the other Fire Emblem characters, and the Earthbound ones as well. Please, just stop complaining about not being brought overseas for such a long time! Be grateful your franchises were able to avoid the horrors that came with localization. Be grateful all you have to be embarrassed about is a pretty okay OVA and a weird advertising campaign, respectively.
I'm not going to go into the CD-I incident. I don't want to. However, I will remind you of the awful cartoon the Zelda series must live with. "Excuse me, Princess"; and you wonder why the other me doesn't like talking!
Oh, but poor Mario, they had three of them. Horrible live action, pasta jokes, "Mama Luigi", and that movie we do not speak of. They got it the worst, easily.
Wait, no, I take it back-icus, Mega Man and Pit had it just as bad. Well, I guess it could have been worse for a Mega Man, considering they didn't use Bad Box Art Mega Man in Captain N, but they didn't even get Pit's name right-icus. And that annoying -icus thing. Okay, I'll stop saying that now. Or, er, writing it-icus. (I'm sorry, I couldn't resist.)
And Sonic. I'm not even going into how bad he had it, or he'll start griping as usual. Just remember, it was no good.
Kirby people, you all probably got off worse of all the late-comers, but at least your anime was sort of good. Pokemon people too, but I'm sorry you must live with everyone singing your theme song twelve times a day around here.
Basically, if you didn't get a game in America until later, or you weren't born as early as some of us, BE GRATEFUL!
