DS Daily: Celebrating villainy
by Chris Greenhough

Villains: easily some of the most interesting characters in the gaming kingdom, more often or not thanks to their megalomaniacal tendencies, difficult relationships with fathers, and the plain, simple fact that being evil pretty much rules, man. But who's the best bad dude on the DS for you? The devious Don Paolo? The crooked Caulder? The hard-to-take-seriously Bowser?
And no picking Dracula. 'Cause we totally just did. Ha!

Obviously, it's that jealous chick from The Rub Rabbits, the one who will stop at nothing to steal a relationship. SHE DOESN'T HAVE A FACE, you don't get more awesome than that.

Prosecutor Payne. That bastard just doesn't know when to give up.

Commander Kahn(eba)

There's nothing evil about him.
BobTheElephant @ Sep 4th 2008 9:46AM
woah, totally missed that whole villain thing...make that edgeworth
Roto13 @ Sep 4th 2008 12:51PM
And I totally didn't read past your first comment. xP

Who ever was behind that GUILT virus in Trauma Center.
rikki @ Sep 4th 2008 11:59AM
His name was Adam, and what a bastard he was.
I totally vote Don Paolo. He's like stepping back in time to the days of Dudley Do-Right vs Snidely Whiplash -- hilarious.

Payne? Edgeworth? pleeaase
Try Dahlia Hawthorne! She is the true definition of evil.
bull @ Sep 4th 2008 11:02AM
Yes, definitely Dahlia Hawthorne.

The Composer and Conductor in the World Ends With You. Talk about screwing with people's minds, those guys take the cake.
And they're cute too. I won't spoil it for anybody though, you have to play the game yourself. ;)

kefka from FFVI or queen zeal from chrono trigger.

The 4-in-a-line block-that-didn't-show-up-in-time : the most evil villain of Tetris. :)
Chris Greenhough @ Sep 4th 2008 11:52AM
Oooh, good answer! And so true! Those (non-existent) things are evil incarnate!
Char6296 @ Sep 4th 2008 11:47AM
I'm not sure... but I pick... the Joker! (valid from September 23rd) But gaming wise, I would pick Eggman, because he's funny. Although it's a shame that he never gets the fame he deserves these days. :( We don't want a robot captain or some ghost hedgehog thing i.e. Mephiles.
Roto13 @ Sep 4th 2008 12:51PM
Kefka (FFVI) destroyed the world. Just to watch people suffer.
Come on.
TESM @ Sep 4th 2008 12:54PM
There's Pokey from Earthbound.
Or Bowser, Smithy, Bowyer (nya) amongst others in Super Mario RPG, my favorite to this day. (Or that ass Crulex)
How about... um... Brauner? And Death.
Most seriously though would be some of the Fire Emblem Villains, especially in the first GBA release in the US. Negral is one bad motha.
TESM @ Sep 4th 2008 12:57PM
I forgot about Phoenix Wright and his universe. Godot is pretty much the best prosecutor, but Dahlia is one of the best definitions of what evil is (primarily deception under good pretenses).
Time is an excellent villain.

Dracula you say?

Bowser!!
Steve G @ Sep 4th 2008 4:40PM
I think Tom Nook should count. My vote goes to Tom Nook.
chibi_wings @ Sep 4th 2008 9:12PM
so true. I vote for Tom Nook too! That greedy little raccoon!
TJF588 @ Sep 6th 2008 7:23AM
*slaps head* Why didn't I think of _him_. The word/term "Jew-coon"/"Jew-'coon"/"Jew 'coon" has become a part of my vernacular when Animal Crossing is on the mind.
For those offended, note that I'm not particularly racist (at least not against Jews), but I find their "name" and the jokes associated with their stereotype to be teh lulz. Also: how the hell did "'coon" become synonymous with black people? It's a frukkin' forest rat/rodent/store owner.

The Rhombulans from EBA (the aliens that hated rhythm and enslaved humanity).
aj @ Sep 4th 2008 11:53PM
What was the name of the guy in Magical Starsign?
Man, that guy was evil. It was sort of arbitrary evil, sure, but remember that whole "please kill me" thing that made the gummi aspect of the game go from cute to just.....creepy and weird?
Romo-kun @ Sep 5th 2008 1:51AM
Shy Guys... on Pogo Sticks!
(from Super Mario RPG)
Foxclipse @ Sep 5th 2008 6:41PM
Now guys, it must be RIVAL from Pokmon series!
(I am not serious)
Oh, since Dracula has already been taken I have no choice - Death! Death from Symhony of the Night, the bastard who stole your bergear and made you helpless, the guy who kinda sucked when you finally confronted him!
I want to add that Dawn of Sorrow's and Portrait of Ruin's desing sucked. Really. There are 2 Deaths that I consider as true - Symphony of the Night's and Rondo of Blood's.
Come on, there has to be someone else who agrees with me.
TJF588 @ Sep 6th 2008 7:20AM
Just how many "unique" Draculas are there in the gaming realm, anyway?
My choice: Salamander from FFIII.
Simply because I've died to him/it every time I've attempted so far.
