Worst Video Game Character Redesigns

[Ray Trace]

Post terrible video game redesigns here!

Here are several I really dislike:

Bomberman

Dante

Spyro

Honorable mention (but it's not as fanbase splitting as the aforementioned)

 

[Vommack]

Wait, wait, are you implying that there were fans who didn't absolutely hate the new Dante?

Um...yes

Even if it is mathematically impossible.

I guess picking from an unofficial strategy guide is cheating, but fuck it, I love this picture:

Also...gotta mention bad boxart Megaman

 

[Vommack]

I'll cheat too. Check out this masterful pic of Samus in a calendar.

There aren't any character redesigns I particularly hate... aside from Skylanders Spyro, I even prefer the new Yoshi design since it seems more fitting(?) for a 3D art style (that's probably not the best way to describe it).

Sonic Boom did however get my biggest WTF reaction I had given in a long time initially, I don't really hate Sonic Boom's redesigns they're just so jarringly different from the original compared to most other things I focus on.

I'm actually ambivalent to Knuckle's redesign: Sonic characters have like all the same physique so it's a nice change from the template formula of skinny arms and skinny legs

Sonic, however, is really unnecessarily too long. Geez he's like part spider now.

At least Jogger-Man never appeared in-game.

 

[Baby Mario Bloops]

At least Jogger-Man never appeared in-game.

I miss Tiny when she was Tiny.

I know, right?

 

[Aiko Heiwa]

At least Jogger-Man never appeared in-game.

I miss Tiny when she was Tiny.

I miss when they clearly weren't trying to attract the furry demographic.

Have you ever heard of Candy Kong?

Yeah, still not as bad.

 

[DragonFreak]

^Yeah, I know someone who is obsessed with Candy Kong......

Anyways, I was going to mention Skylanders Spyro, but BL did that for me, so that is all I have to say.

 

[Lumastar]

Who? i want to know.

A friend of mine who is a furry.

I freaking hate this redesign too. Ugh. Tiny used to be a small little Kong, now she's some sort of tall, teenager. How come she has aged while the other Kongs don't? I don't get this. She's not even tiny anymore.

 

[DragonFreak]

I guess it makes as much sense as Crash Bandicoots' Tiny.

 

[Lumastar]

Tiny Tiger is supposed to be big. It's a joke.

Tiny Kong was designed to be tiny, but her new design goes against this. She's not even the tallest Kong!

 

[Duskull]

I hate the redesigns for Sonic Boom.

 

[Lumastar]

I hate the redesigns for Sonic Boom.

I've gotten use to them now. I actually like Tails and Amy's new redesigns. Sonic's long legs are still a bit over the top, though.

 

[Mcmadness]

I like the new Yoshi design.

Also old man Sub Zero from mortal kombat deadly alliance.

 

[Icemario]

Knuckles' Sonic Boom redesign.
