Well I must apologize because looking back, I was running my keyboard a bit... I think I meant to say I like Treasure as a whole, rather than specifically their more obscure games, some of which I've yet to try. I may have just been thinking of how "fallen to the wayside" they are as a company, since they've been docile for a while now and not much discussion is surrounding their releases currently. Or maybe I was specifically thinking of Stretch Panic, which I have played. I prefer their more surrealist "throw everything at the wall" games like that.
Either way, sorry for the confusion... but, with a glowing recommendation like that, I figured I could at least give Silpheed and her Lost Planet a try, and you know what? It's pretty cool! I like how the 3D environments intersected during the spaceship-shooting action; it always feels more organic to me in games when the setting itself acts as an obstacle, and seeing that in an action-packed shmup was very interesting. Though I do somewhat get the criticisms of the dialogue... suffice to say I am not quite enlightened as you are, but I did enjoy it.

You are excused!!
I don't want to answer this so specifically... but I will say I live around plenty of good pizza pies!
I answered this a little earlier: I had a Namco plug n' play box that I played on my CRT tv as a wee 3-year-old, coming with Pac-Man, Galaga, Rally X, Dig Dug, and Bosconian. I can't remember anything before that!
I think we're due for one at this point! Though what I'd want most from it is for it to be super weird and unique to the Mario franchise. I want to shout out this amazing concept I found on Tumblr that sparks my imagination (I would also recommend this artist as a whole for having one of my favorite renditions of the WarioWare cast). I also wouldn't want it to be a platformer, mostly because I feel that concept was explored to its fullest in a classic fangame.
I sure am! I'm currently working on some private projects by myself in the Godot engine. That said, I wouldn't call myself a professional in any sense of the word. I've only gone to school for general studies and treat this passion as more of a hobby...
... which is why I can't say I'd ever think of getting an actual job at Nintendo, or any big company. I like to be responsible for every piece of my art anyway. Anyone can be a director as long as they're only directing themselves!
Currently unemployed.
I like Pokémon in a very superficial sense: I've barely played the games but I love all the creature designs! As for my favorite, let's just say: I liked Amoonguss before it was funny.
I don't remember ever actually playing it, but I did collect some cards because my friend had them. Again, my main appeal with Pokémon was the character designs, so I liked looking at the art for the cards more than playing.
I'll go a step further and rank every primary and secondary color! From favorite to least favorite: purple, green, orange, red, blue, yellow. I do have secondary color bias.
So hard to choose... but Flat Wario and his theme from II/3 are classic. Flaming Wario is a close second... really, any form that shows him in lethal pain juxtaposed with silly cartoon music is a winner in my book!

Sorry for these questions:

What do you think about convert Weegee, Bowsette and Eario (Eario from Brawl in the Family web comics) the web site characters into official Nintendo characters?

What are the Nintendo characters that you recomend like official fighters for next official Super Smash Bros videogames?

What is the Nintendo character that needs his/her own official videogame?

No need for apologies!!
I don't think they're ever gonna be official characters if that's what you're asking, or that Nintendo will acknowledge them beyond some kind of incredibly subtle reference that hasn't happened yet. But I do have some thoughts on each of them...
Weegee: He's like an old friend to me, who I run into every time I watch some classic YTP. I like characters who spawn from such small things like silly looking sprites in games, and him having the power to physically warp other people to his likeness is funny and dark all the same.
Bowsette: I don't have as much to say about her... she sure looks like a fusion of 30% Bowser and 70% Peach I suppose. The design is kind of boring to my taste, but I guess that's because people thought the Super Crown specifically turned its wearer into an impersonation of Peach, so the artist initially drew her like that. I doubt Nintendo intended to imply that much with the power-up, but it was interesting to witness nonetheless.
Eario: I didn't read the BitF comics when they were fresh, but I do like the character's concept and lore.
I can't really think of many more Nintendo characters I'd like to see in Smash; I would like if they focused more on getting some special guests next game. If I had to pick though, I think a WarioWare rep like Mona could be fun!
I don't have any specific characters in mind, but I think it would be interesting for a game that focuses on the villain instead. Going on a space conquest as Ridley could be cool, for example.

Have you ever played any Metroid games? They are also R&D1, also what’s your favorite Wario design?
Click to expand...
I tried Super Metroid once, never finished it but I enjoyed what I played. I do want to marathon the 2D series one of these days since they are on my bucket list, then maybe I'll try the Prime games.
My favorite Wario is probably his Wario Land 1/VB design for that snazzy safari helmet, even if I long for his short sleeves as well. I also quite like his biker gear in Ware and wouldn't be disappointed in it showing up in more spinoff games.

I’d start with zero mission and not nestroid because it’s super hard and zero mission is one of my favorite games. But you should finish super Metroid, it’s one of the best games ever made and on my top 5 list for sure.

Did you make WarioWare DIY microgames?

If a Game & Wario 2 is made, what are the Game & Wario 2 mini games that you would want to play?

One of my previous ideas was a WarioWare stage for Super Smash Bros like WarioWare, Inc the Super Smash Bros Brawl stage but with the best microgames made by WarioWare DIY players, what do you think about this idea?

I think Waluigi must be playable in Wario Land videogames or in WarioWare videogames, what do you think about this?

Can you imagine a fatter Wario?

I've been making Wario's microgameses since 2015! Although some of them have unfortunately been lost to time. I'm somewhat disappointed I couldn't get a DS sooner and get the game when it was fresh to use the online functions, but the Doujinsoft Store is a lovely modern alternative.
Hm... I did play Game & Wario before I sold my Wii U, and while it wasn't my favorite, there were some fun games there. I can't think of any new game concepts I'd want in a sequel, but maybe they could bring some back and add online multiplayer, since I didn't have anyone around me to play the multiplayer games with. I could see some of the singleplayer games being fleshed out more to adjust for multiple players: an idea off the top of my head is four player Sneaky Gamer where you send the distractions to your opponents.
Sounds interesting! Though I don't know if every best microgame could be reworked to fit the platform fighter format. I imagine a lot of them would revolve around targetting something with your attacks to win, which could get repetitive.
I would sooner like to see Waluigi get his own game than suddenly appear in Wario's spinoffs. I don't think Waluigi's character of self-pity would add much when it comes to games about trying to get rich, either from treasure hunting or game making. His jealousy of Luigi being so integral to his character would also raise the question of how to portray him if Luigi can't be included, so he's in a very odd spot character-wise currently. I think him getting to go on his own adventure first would let him properly develop some more character beyond being's Luigi's bitter impersonator, and from there maybe he can show up in Wario's games.
I could, but Nintendo already did for me!

Are you into any shows (live action, cartoons, anime)? If so, what are your favourites and is there anything you've watched lately that you thought was really good?
Click to expand...
I used to not be big on TV, but I've been tuning in more ever since I got a new one with Tubi built in. The first thing I checked out was all 13 episodes of The Oblongs, which I thought were alright. Recently I've been rewatching Archer, though it's honestly getting quite boring... the show peaks in season 3 and slowly gets more aimless from there IMO.
I tend to gravitate toward animation since I like all the work and intricacies that go into it, though one show high on my bucket list is The Sopranos. I can't really think of favorites since I've only recently picked up the remote again, but maybe I'll find something that really clicks with me!

Favorite warioware, and favorite microgame from each game?
Or favorite microgame across the series?
Click to expand...
Favorite WarioWare is still D.I.Y.! Though that may change if I ever get around to playing the newer ones.
I'm sorry to say picking out my favorite microgames from each title would be quite arduous, so I'll just say one I'm particularly fond of: Grow Wario Grow. I love it not only for the Wario Land sprites, but also how petty it feels. The sprites, taken from Super Mario Bros, Super Mario Land and Wario Land 1, are inconsistently sized regarding each other, giving the game a rushed feeling. Then, when you make Wario collect the mushroom. he get a unique laughing animation, as well as the Mario sprite getting a sad expression, neither of which are in their respective original titles. Wario must have been particularly angry the day he cranked that game out!

Here's a bunch of spoilers for the rest of the more wordy questions.
I've seen some original characters here and there that I enjoy, yes. I imagine it would be fairly easy to work your own characters into a more episodic series that already has a bunch of characters to build off of like WarioWare. I don't remember where I found her, but there was a witch character who was Ashley's less intimidating mentor that I liked.
The Wii! Likely because my parents fell into the ruse of it being better than a regular game console, because wiggling the remote controller could almost pass as exercise.
I already answered this a few times, it was a five pack Namco plug-n-play... but here's another one of my first games: the very first Call of Duty! My dad somehow had the disc despite not being a computer gamer, and he let me play it, though I never made it past the first few levels. I had more fun blowing up the drill sergeant with grenades in the training course! Let's just say the modern games haven't had a larger fall from grace in my eyes...
I have yet to play them for myself, but I would like to give them a try eventually! Just haven't been playing on my Switch much. I'll likely check out GiT first, since I love the idea of playing as the characters themselves.
When I hear "antihero" Wario is the first character to come to mind, he may as well have defined that word. Seeing him progress from a genuine villain in his debut, to a more self-centered but not malicious guy in Wario Land and the early Wares, to an almost father-figure of so many more ragtag crew members in the latest Ware games... it brings a tear to my eye!
I like that of all the Mario characters, he's the one who has grown in popularity mostly from outside of the games... i.e. the internet. His debut was well timed with the rise of meme-like humor of the 2000s, and his current legacy is fascinating in that cult-following regard, though I'd still like him to star in his own game. Other than that, I do like seeing glimpses of him being truly evil unlike Wario.
Probably the fact that it practically invented a new, still beloved genre! What a feat for the twenty-first century! I don't even think the word "microgame" existed in its current most well-known description before WarioWare hit the shelves, but Nintendo worked their magic yet again. All in a spinoff series full of unique artwork, characters and setpieces that feel like an excuse for the artists to let loose in creating something to match the genre's wild premise.
Tough to say, since each game is fairly different from each other. I guess that gives them a similar quality to WarioWare, in that the wildly different mechanics in each title feels like an excuse for Nintendo R&D1 to experiment, while still giving the player a character that's just so fun to control. A specific aspect I love is the reaction mechanic most prominent in Land II and 3, because it feels like the most Wario way of distorting Mario's more traditional power-ups: helpful in some cases, harmful in others, while utterly humiliating and occasionally torturing Wario as he subjects himself to them.
