>Nintendo game>main character's name is NintenAre you kidding me with this hack shit?
>>12538609>Nintendo gameIt's not.
>>12538609>SNES game>main character's name is Ness
>gba game>main character's name is lucas
>>12538739The main character's name is an anagram of SNES.
>>12538745>main character's name isn't AbgWhat a bunch of frauds
They are placeholder names. You're supposed to name the characters after yourself and your friends.
It comes from the Dragon Quest manuals where in screenshots the Hero was named "enikusu" (Enix) in hiragana
>>12538620what did anon mean by this
>>12538840Not developed by Nintendo.
>>12538818Yeah, OP's friends, haha...
>>12538609That wasn't supposed to be his name. It's just a placeholder they used in promotional screenshots. The protagonist of Famicom Detective Club is also "Ninten" for the same reason.>>12538858Not exclusively, but Nintendo did the majority of the work. The credits are mostly Nintendo employees.
>>12539553>That wasn't supposed to be his name. It's just a placeholder they used in promotional screenshots. The protagonist of Famicom Detective Club is also "Ninten" for the same reason.Tell that to the Mother Encyclopedia made by Ape Inc.
>>12539578There's also Ken from the novel I think.But yeah Smash kind of cemented Ninten as the canon name.
>>12539582>There's also Ken from the novel I think.Ape Inc was one of the devs in the original game thouh. So i'd say the encyclopedia probably has the canon lore.
>>12539582>>12539583Keninten
>>12538739>>12538783he's actually named after the NES, oddly enough
>>12539578I didn't say it wasn't cannon. I said it wasn't supposed to be his name. The MOTHER Encyclopedia was released after the game had been out for a while.
>>12538783Why wasn't lucas named ultra 64 advance?
>>12538818>earthbound>name ness after yourself instead>game later also asks for your real name for something else
>>12539942It was released on the same year the game came out. And they could have started making it before the game even released.
> Nintendo game> character name is MarioUgh... I don't see a pattern here.
>>12538609Absolutely the most important thing about an iconic game that has millions of active fans to this day, and not an autistic nitpick from an obese diabetic that lives with him mom and has never touched puss
>>12541928>iconic gameOnly to hipsters.
