"Some other cute and slightly strange characters"someone's translated the captions
"by far the favourite character from her series" welp
Nintendo posts Ashley halloween comic!

I like that Warioware gets some more promotion, even if on Ashley's shoulders. I mean, until she gets her own game which doesn't feature any of the others, I can't say she's 'Overrepped'. A theme and a Mario Maker costume's not much, in the long run.

To be fair, Super Mario Maker costumes come in three distinctions:
1. amiibo
2. Mario himself
3. "Just draw out of a hat, we don't care" (Seriously, Dr. Lobe? Mahjong tile?)
And besides, Halloween is almost here anyway. So who better for such a theme than Ashley?
They could've made a generic halloween theme with Mario or something...
yeah, I agree.
beside, while it's kinda dissapointing, it'd be silly to take an offhand comment in a 3DS app not made by WW's creator too seriously. if Goro Abe comes out and say "ashley is the only thing of value to emerge from warioware", then I suppose we can ineffectually whine on message boards lol.

To be fair considering how little the rest of the Ware cast get's I can see comments like " Ashley being the favorite" and others just being "some other characters" rubbing people the wrong way, even if it's just some random app, at least that was the case for me and I never minded Ashley's popularity, defended her several times and was fine with her getting all of the recent exposure.

I think the "slightly strange" part is referring to Fronk.
And yeah, on top of that, Ashley wasn't even in the first WarioWare. But maybe I'm just saying this as someone who's been with the series since the very beginning, though, and considered the original game to be one of the best in the series.
Or to put it another way, I find it hilarious how people always complain about Smash Bros. being Kid Icarus and Fire Emblem-biased, yet want WarioWare to become "Ashley & Friends".

The best WarioWare was truly the first installment. It all fell from there imo.
Might not even call it WarioWare anymore, since apparently its "Ashley & Co." like you said.
Not sure if it's at this point where it's at the Japanese tendency for businesses to milk money off of otakus and obsessed-fans (see Fire Emblem redesigns)
You're fucking up, Nintendo.
Ashley simply likes headpats. If a stylus patted me on the head with such good intentions, I'd be pretty calm too.

Yeah, you're right about that. Plus, I don't see these things likely to make it outside of Japan.
All the popularity that she's getting right now seems like it can be traced back to the fact that it's almost Halloween. And as mentioned before in previous threads she's kind of just becoming Nintendo's face for Halloween (which is very fitting in my opinion). So all of this new popularity may be Nintendo trying to push their new face for Halloween this year because I don't think they used her for anything last year, it doesn't seem like any of this "forced popularity" will stay longer past the holiday season.
But who knows I could be dead wrong and in the next Nintendo direct they might announce a new game centered directly around Ashley and it will send everyone into a rage.

When exactly did Ashley become associated with Halloween? I mean I feel like this has been building up for some time and isn't just related to Halloween.
I want to head pat Wario!
I think Nintendo just kind of did it this year out of the blue and that's why it may seem so extravagant especially since there hasn't been a Ware game in some time.
Most of the things here seem like they can fall under Halloween, like the theme and comic, but the only other recent one that can't really fit into Halloween would be the costume in Mario Maker which could just be because of the new merge.
But I guess I could see all the new appearances leading up to a bigger thing.
this is the same company who's ignoring daisy and a few other good mario/wario characters though
it's like they're purposely pandering to characters with fanbases who have a waifu obsession
I was wondering since Nintengasm said something similar about Ashley being some sort of face for Halloween and was wondering if there was some other Halloween Ashley stuff I wasn't aware of or if it was just some strange rationalization.
Why does it seem (and let me clarify that I'm not targeting you specifically) that whenever one mentions Ashley's popularity people immediately hop to the conclusion that the fan base is all pedos and waifu based weirdos, sure some characters are going to have some fans like that but that seems odd to pick out a small piece of that fan base out of one that's growing.
