AWKWARD ZOMBIE

Sitting here, thinking (this actually was birthed from a discussion about Banjo-Kazooie 3 I was having), I got wondering, what game would benifit, and preform the best, from being Nemesis Formula. Now, let me explain myself here. (This is something I came up with.)

Nemesis Formula is the act of taking a normally light hearted, whimsical, and hilarious video game, and making it dark, twisted, morbid, bloody, and dramatic. This stems from the game Zork: Nemesis (which you should play, it's pretty good.). Zork in general is very whimsical with comedy and sillyness about, colorful and pop flyin' and what not. By the end of the Zork Game era, Activision had created Zork: Nemesis, a graphical Zork game that took place in the Zork universe, but was much more somber and darker in contrast to other Zork's.

So, what game that fits this bill do you think this needs to be done to? And yes, I am aware Nintendo pulled this off with Advance Wars, but I said PREFORM THE BEST, as in storyline too, and DoR's story was taken right out of the big book of cliche'd story lines.

Animal Crossing, see: SA

Wow, that was quick.

I would say the Boktai games, but they already are light and whimsical games that are dark, twisted, morbid, bloody, AND dramatic at the same time.

So let me say... Bubsy Bobcat?

Jak & Daxter.

Imagine if Pokemon got Nemesis'd?!

That slightly happened with the transition from one to two.

Jak & Daxter is <3.

And that'd make the entire series of Pokemon much more interesting, they should do it.

Mega Man. And no, not these overhauls that present the same feel, only all the characters got taller, I'm looking for a robot apocalypse where humans are shot on sight.

Also, Pokemon Trivia: Whenever two villages got into a struggle, Gyarados would raze both feuding villages (Gyarados Trophy, SSBB). This would explain the general lack of war in the Pokemon world.

Read the Manga


Megaman
not offical, but still pretty cool.

Edit: Megaman Zero series, they kill people on sight. +emo Zero

Emo characters make anything nemesis worthy. Seriously, it's too cartoony. What's the deal with the regular gunfire looking like bread rolls?

Bomberman. OWAIT...

Sonic? OSHI--

How about they just concentrate on making the games fun?

Hmm... you may have a point there. I'm personally hoping the Yoshi games get Nemesis'd, though.

Seriously, wouldn't that be awesome?

Turok: Yoshi's Island?

Seeing Zelda get Nemesis'd would be cool. I mean, sure, they kinda did that in Majora's Mask, but even edgier would be awesome.
