He's not forgotten in Poland.

First Kao was ok.

Second Kao was amazing.

Third Kao was a let down for me.

>>3355634
He is.

>>3356470
What makes you say that?

>>3356427
Im not denying that they are good games, I just never see Kao mentioned anywhere. I havent exactly warmed up to his design though. He's kinda creepy on first sight. Maybe an acquired taste.

Ninja-kun had like eighteen thousand games (mostly Japan only, of course) before the turn of the century. The original is still pretty good.

Notable for not having a sequel or re-release when almost every other mascot platformer of that era got one.

The GBA game was hell.

2 for 2 on awesome games and then never seen again

>>3359648
I would really prefer if you would be quiet.

Also notable for extremely salty developers.

Like holy shit don't ever look up what they've done with Plok in recent years or you'll die from second hand embarrassment.

Conker's father.

I know. I can't go into detail, but I'm in a situation where I'm forced to publicly approve of a webcomic I strongly dislike.

Magnetic Billiards was really good, though.

>>3355451
What is up with all the unnecessary whitespace?

Blinx

>>3355449
Kao had like four sequels.

>when you're so forgettable that the localization team falsely advertises you as a totally rad gen-x dude

>>3365858
Exactly. People just have nothing to say about these games.

>>3366297
It seems like Titus tried over and over to break the mold with these characters but it just never happened.

Casual reminder that Titus is actually the international version of the french game 'les aventures de moktar" (moktar's adventures).

The original is based on a song, nowadays considered having racist undertones but perfectly fine back then, from the comedian named Lagaf. In the song he was throwing a few offensive stereotypes on arabs and Moktar was a guy who had stolen a scooter and then somehow went to marrakech to free his girlfriend named Zoubida.

The studio probably thought the game wouldn't sell outside of France without changing the character.

One of the better 2cool4u mascots with attitude that tried to copy sonic.
