>Link objectifying women
Seriously though, are there any other instances in retro video games where it kind of pokes fun at itself in a self-awareness kind of way?

Did you guys even read the rest of his post?

All I can think of is stuff from the MGS games. Like the Colonel telling you to check the game box for Meryl's number. I think that trick was used before in one of the Metal Gear games as well.

Also Psycho Mantis reading your memory card and moving the controller.

I hope so

also there is even more 4th wall breaking and poking fun of the series and nintendo it's self in the capcom GBC Zelda games, and there are a bunch of "retro" games that also make fun of themselves or their series or genres but I can't think of any names right now

Castle-fucking-vania. It was a campy romp of Universal and Hammer cliches. Then Dracula X happened, and it turned into a shitty shonen. SotN made it into a kiddie vampire drama, and then they merged both stupid things in Aria.

Rewatching Animaniacs on the HUB has made me realize that I really don't like the Warners now that I'm older. Their jokes consist almost entirely of (outdated) pop culture references while antagonizing people, a surprising number of whom don't even really deserve it.

On the other hand, Pinky & The Brain are still pretty solid, I get a lot of older gags that flew over my head while I was younger, I have a lot more appreciation for Rita's singing, and Slappy's snide little remarks make me bust a gut laughing.

Slappy is now my favorite.

>> No.839529

>>839489
Slappy seems to have a lot more broader appeal with adult audiences if /co/ is any sign. I didn't care for her as a child, but I agree her gags are the among the funniest to me nowadays.

Well, there is the option of carrying the princess around in Dragon Warrior til the end of the game; I guess that sorta counts for this topic.

I didn't know it was possible until this board existed.

If you don't save her, the ending actually changes, because she's not there to declare her love for you. So the hero just walks off by himself.

Because you might have a brain and realise that picking her up and stashing her in your inventory might imply objectifying is used in a more literal sense for the sake of a fucking pun? Stop being frightened of feminists under the bed, they love pussies so you're fine.
