Maybe we would spend time with video game characters if they were like people and had personalities. Maybe we would get to know them and grow old together. And maybe we could even play games with them.
I think that characters from shooting video games would probably be less popular. I mean, you would probably not befriend a violent psychopath, right? By contrast, we would probably still love Mario and think of him as being delightfully joyful. However, we’d probably be concerned about his magic mushroom consumption, and his influence on kids. Pikachu would probably remain just as loved if it were a real pet, albeit a highly dangerous one.
What do you think life would be like if video game characters were real and had personalities?

I’m going to assume that even though they’re real, they have their powers and adventures. The one I’d be curious about is Link since he’s always been a near silent protagonist. I say ‘near’ because he screams a lot.

It’s for the best that he is silent given his dialogue in the CDI games.

I’ve heard stories. Honestly, I usually hear the cartoon voice in my head. Not sure if that’s better.

(Why did I not get notified about this?) I grew up with that and have it on DVD. As cringe-worthy as it is, I still have fond Saturday morning memories connected to the phrase. Guess that was my generation’s version of Naruto’s ‘BELIEVE IT!’

Wow I don’t remember that… I’ll have to look it up. 🙂

It was the English translation for the anime. Supposedly, Naruto says something that isn’t easily translated, so the company though ‘BELIEVE IT!’ worked best. I don’t think they realized how often it would come up until they’d already dedicated themselves to the decision.

I wonder how we would manage in our society if he was used to never speaking. He’d stand out like a sore thumb if he was dead silent. Or maybe he’d stand out because of his bright green outfit, shield and sword.

I don’t think it would be as bad as we think. People who lack the ability or skill to talk get by somehow. Probably a lot of pointing and writing.

True. But he probably wouldn’t blend in too well with that outfit. Unless he was at a cosplay convention.

As much as I love them, people would probably try spraying Captain Olimar and the Pikmin. I mean, tiny little things climbing around our stuff and carrying it off? Most people step on those things out of instinct. 😦

Lol 🙂 We would probably need a series of Public Service Announcements pleading with people not to step on the Pikmin. Nintendo could create the PSAs.
