So why can't we play as Daisey? She's cool enough to wear something other than a dress. I'm still waiting for her game Nintendo.

Hey everyone. Super Mario Bros. 2 used 2D sprites. New Super Mario Bros. Wii uses 3D models. A 2D sprite requires no additional programming beyond inserting the image, while having a 3D dress that conforms to some kind of physics engine like the other models in the game requires some additional work. The fact that Peach existed in sprite form in Super Mario Bros. 2 does not make it any easier to render her skirt in 3D. Ok? Ok. So shut up about Super Mario Bros. 2, it's completely irrelevant here.
Oh, and if the biggest criticism of a game series you can come up with is the recycling of an excuse plot, in a series which has never pretended to have anything more than just that, then you need to sort out your priorities.
Now that I've gotten that out of the way, I can join in the cries of "laziness" and "bullcrap". Not that I doubt that the skirt was a factor in not including Peach, it may very well be the deciding factor; Peach's presence in Super Paper Mario as a playable character has confirmed that Nintendo aren't afraid to give her an active role. Even so, giving up on putting her in because of a minor physics engine hurdle? That's just lame.

Sprites are no harder to work with than a model in most API's, besides you can copy some animations from other characters if you're feeling really stingy. This is from a programmers perspective.SilentHunter7 said:
Edit: they could also just weight the skirt down to knee length if they are actually using physics on the material. That would keep it covering the 'naughty' bits.

Ah yes, Nintendo story lines.
*cross peach* TOAD gets kidnapped by browser and you gotta jump your way on peoples faces to save him!

time for lunch break, end of work, holiday bonus and gimme my money.
I think shes just not as short as an Italian plumber and therefore doesn't fit into the theme of being an underdog working his way from an honest living draining turtles from pipes to saving a princess from a crocodile dressed as a turtle.
In the case of NWN (or Baldur's Gate for instance) adding cloaks would mean that it had to look good on each and every character. In this case however we're talking about adding one specific character.Kevvers said:
Seriously, they had better not put her available later as DLC.
They wouldn't need to change the story at all.BrotherhoodOfSteel said:
Toad: "I'm sorry, but our princess is in another castle."
Peach: "I keep telling you, I'm right here!"
Well it was probably called Doki Doki Panic when they played it...ZeroMachine said:
