Glass Joe (Punch-Out!!, NES)
Punch-Out's pride of France is the first and weakest boxer you face, and only total n00bs lose to this guy. It takes him forever to mount an offense, and, as his nickname implies, his jaw's made of glass. It must suck being the character designated to take a fall 99 percent of the time. We'd like to see Glass Joe get another round in the ring – this time with a fighting chance.

Birdo is a GUY... ECA did an article about it. Read the 198(6, maybe 4, anyway) instruction manual where HE first appeared. Whatever happened to that f***ing annoying rabbit in Mario 64. You know, the one in the basement that was nearly impossible to catch and gave you a star.

I'd like to see another Road Rash game. It got old after a while, but it always fun coming back and smacking up guys with chains and pipes and cue sticks after a break.

Hmm, the author of this article must've forgotten that Birdo is a playable character in Mario Kart Wii, and that the sun appears in a level of the game as an obstacle (they launch fireballs at you, but only in that one stage). Besides, Luigi has gotten plenty of fame. People still play him in Smash Bros. Mellee and Brawl (no clue if he was in the 1st, don't care), and what about Mario is Missing? Sure, the game was pretty bad, but it still starred Luigi. Also, Glass Joe was a bum that you weren't supposed to care about. I think he was just there so you could become familiar with the controls of the game (not like it took long). By the way, that snickering dog never got what was coming to him. I don't know anybody who didn't want to gun that flea-bitten mongrel down.

I loved Luigi's Mansion! How could you say it bombed?

First of all, I HATE BIRDO!!!! She can go jump off a cliff for all I care! Now to more important things. Luigi is AWESOME!!! He deserves so much more than Nintendo gives him! And while Mario stars in all those games, Luigi has just 1 game to call his own. I think Nintendo should make another game where Luigi is the main character. Does anyone else agree with me?
