Mulan ftw!!
We went to Akiba yesterday for some dinner and to also pick up something from Yodobashi. As we were standing on the street waiting to cross the intersection, we were looking at some games on sale in the front of some store. Jason’s jokingly pointed out the Disney Princess DS game and said that he knows I want to get that. I told him not to joke around because he knows that one day Ellie is going to want to buy that and we’ll see who’s laughing then.
Then our conversation took a strange turn. We both agreed that we would both cry if she wanted to play that game and that it would be a different story if it was the Disney Princess Fighting Game.
We started talking about what that game would be like and who would own all the other princesses. We both agree that Mulan would probably own them all since, hey, she fought in a freakin war and saved China. I also thought that Pocahontas would make a great competitor.
Of course we both had a discussion about who is actually considered a “princess” since neither Mulan or Pocahontas are “princesses.” We decided that they are eligible if they play a significant role in their respective movies.
We also agreed that Snow White would get owned since she doesn’t do much and she was also the one who ate the apple despite warnings from the dwarves about trusting strangers.
Then we went on to talk about the special attacks each princess would have….though details of that part are quite unclear since we both had different ideas on what those were.
Yea, it would be quite interesting if there was ever a Disney Princess fighting game. It will never happen since that’s not the type of stuff Disney is into but man, it would be fun if they really did make it.
haha, nice convo.. though my friend tells me to basically expect girls to be very into disney princess stuff, from peer pressure. Though it may be different if she grows up in Japan, I don’t know. :)
Definitely in the Disney world, they all count as princesses, in terms of them being parts of the princess collection. Yes, I probably know too much about the disney princesses, since one of my friend’s daughter really loves them, and likes to tell me about them sometimes when I visit.
I also think cinderalla would put on a surprisingly good showing, since having gone through all the abuse from her step sisters would have given her some psychological fortitude, and that is definitely important when fighting. :)
