Spyro the Dragon VS Crash Bandicoot!
Dead Rising VS Resident Evil!
Samus design in other M looks really nice, i thought This was about design?
Banjo-Kazooie in Nuts and Bolts
Knuckles from *Sonic Boom,* Dante from *DMC: Devil May Cry,* Frank West from *Dead Rising 4* and Spyro from the *Skylanders* franchise
Where tf is Banjo and Kazooie with the "Nuts And Bolts" design???
You know, I kinda liked their designs in this game
OMG, I've never seen this new version of Bomber man! I didn't even recognise what game it was at first 😭
It's a crapshoot. Not much went into it, not much came out of it. It's a D list game
Sonic: Stop! You're pure evil! Why are you coloring my arms?!
I enjoyed DmC: Devil May Cry. the combat system was still very fun, and the "he doesn't even have white hair" argument isn't really fair, considering that this younger Dante has fully white hair by the end of the story. I'm glad that the outcry probably played a role in Devil May Cry 5's development, but I think Ninja Theory's DmC is actually underrated.
Some day im going to play the game and it looks instresting, the design is only weird but not weird to call it bad and unplayable.
I agree 💯
I loved the game and was looking forward to a sequel 😪
@@agofurebenard2081 We can start a petition for Capcom to just do what Nintendo did with Zelda - Branching timelines 😆
It was a good game on its own(even better if you think of it as a stand alone titel) but I think the worst part was that it directly mocked those who loved the original game.
I want to be honest. I knew Spyro through Skylanders, which was my favorite videogame series of all time. It was pretty shocking that I found that fans hated the Skylanders design and prefer the classic one, which was way cuter and I admit. I played the Reignited trilogy and I fell in love this playful and kindhearted side of Spyro. As an aspiring Comic book/Manga artist, I began drawing some scene of Skylanders, but with Spyro having the Reignited design. If I got hired at Microsoft, I’d suggest them to fix the design, you know, to please both Skylanders and Spyro fans.
I agree with you on what skylanders did to spyro and what was worse is that they had different figures for skylanders and one of them made his horns look like malefor.
@@eevee-wg7vm it's not a hate comment. Is an honest opinion. I'm pubblishing my drawings on my instagram account.
Skylanders is one of the best video game series ever
@@lucky-duck_123. they actually ruined spyro.
@@eevee-wg7vm no they didn’t
Banjo’s redesign from Banjo-Kazooie Nuts and Bolts was just…awful.
Crash bandicoot in those weird mutant games. I really hated it...
Knuckles went to the gym too much😅 3:03
Shelob wasnt always a spider. She was once the spirit of darkness who took the form of a beautiful woman. She was a child of Ungoliant. She hated the light and that is what deformed her into a spider when she became Melkor's partner. WatchMojo, please do your research. Read The Silmarillion. Her design was correct in Shadow of War considering its a prequel to the hobbit and LOTR
Banjo and Kazooie from Nuts and Bolts should be here lol
Spyro the Dragon VS Crash Bandicoot!
I vote Crash!
Hot take: I don’t really like the design for Fox McCloud from Star Fox: Command onwards. Why does he have exaggerated cheek tufts? Why does he have a shorter muzzle too? What was wrong with his original design in Star Fox 64, Adventures, and Assault to a certain degree?
My hot take is I don’t like Twilight Princess Link at least the way he is in the beginning on that farm or whatever
Agreed, it always felt like a downgrade to me.
Not really sure what any of those points about Other M had to do with her appearance.
yep in fact they talked about her personality more instead
@@muhdnazmy6010quite a few of this "redesigns" takes, are more about talking about their personality changes.
Spyro's redesign is so overhated. And sadly, that's why a lot of people say that Skylanders is bad, without actually playing the games.
One of the reasons. Another is that it's a cash grab. Skylanders really needs a comeback.
I will honestly say as a big Spyro fan who grew up with him I never got skylanders because of what they did to him
I think what people needs to do to enjoy the series is not focus on Spyro's redesign (It's not even that terrible. There's way worse redesigns), and treat it kinda as it's own thing. Square Eyed Jak is a pretty good Spyro fan himself, and even he gave the series a fair shot, unlike Caddicarus.
@@Wahknight-ew5ml I used to want to give the game a shot but probably won’t any time in the future I’d have to find a copy and the accessories which probably arnt cheap but maybe some day
Here's a tip. Get the Trap Team portal if you do give it a shot. As that portal works with every game.
I honestly didn't find Samus in Metroid: Other M that bad.
In my opinion its good.

Dishonorable Mentions:
*X and Zero - Megaman X7
-Not in terms of physical design, but rather, in personality. It's the same case as Metroid: Other M. The hunters have been flanderized beyond recognition. Zero had always been a badass but his character has evolved over the series, particularly in X4 and X5, with the emotional stress taking it's toll on him more and more. In X7, he's little more than a shell-shocked veteran that the writers (oh, I'm sorry. "Planners.") tried way too hard to make look like a badass, but ended up making him a stereotype in the process. But X got the worst treatment by far. X's struggle with violence was always there, but there was more to him than that. Because even though he didn't want to fight, he knew that sometimes you can't protect peace without stopping those who commit war. X7 reduces him to a wuss that won't stop whining about violence. So much so that you can't even play as him when the game starts. Even in the bosses, his dialogue mostly consists of "whine, whine, and more whine."
Let's not forget that X and Zero are also butting heads as to would should be keeping Axl with X OUTRIGHT REFUSING having Axl has a hunter and Zero being the opposite like seriously who thought it was a good idea to have two of the most beloved and iconic characters of the entire X saga suddenly competing against each other for a new character that we don't know or care. at least X8 and Command mission fixed this issues so that's good at least.
Shelob's redesign for Shadow of War could actually be canon, as we can't be entirely sure whether she's able to shapeshift or not. The mystery starts with her mother, Ungoliant. Tolkien describes Ungoliant as a creature as a being of darkness, taking the shape of a spider. Since Tolkien never clarified whether she could actually switch shapes, this might lead people to believe that she can. As her daughter, Shelob inherited some of her traits and shapeshifting might be one of them, as is depicted in the game when she gets betrayed by Sauron/Anatar.
She fine af then.
I hated the redesign of Nemesis in the Resident Evil 3 remake the most. I refuse to accept that horrible redesign over the badass original.
God, speaking of Sonic Boom, don't even get me started in how they changed Sonic's arms from flesh colored to blue! Makes me want to do something... Spicy
Remember that Sonic's arms are blue in the movies
@@TKnHappyNess Didn't you hear him? Don't get get him started.
People hate Shaundi new look in Saints Row The Third Remastered but I love it a lot
Shadow in Sonic Boom his character was completely thrown out the window to make him a total edge lord instead of someone who suffered through a lot in the past.
Thankfully the sonic movies brought knuckles back by sort of combining the two personalities. In sonic 2 he's still got his serious and honor bound personality, but his stupidity is because he has no idea how modern society and technology functions being raised as a warrior.
I love sonic and friends' original designs
I think the redesign of king dedede from Kirby games series is the confusing character for Nintendo to keep redesigning this one character over and over, that mostly tick me off.
The design of Dedede in “The Forgotten Land” is arguably the worst of all.
While I didn't like his aesthetics, I did like "Don't-e" overall. His movements and attacks, specifically seeing how he falters when attacking and whatnot.
Where is banjo kazooie nuts & bolts? Personally feel like they did them dirty once banjo made it to xbox.
Rare’s years of working with Nintendo was certainly a golden age for them.
As someone who grow up with the skylander's spyro and knew this design first, i don't really have anything against spyro's redesign in the skylanders franchise
how can you say that about Samus Aran in Metroid the other m. first of all it dose not matter how strong you are even if you are a bounty hunter. the story that produces were telling what happened after Super Metroid she was going through grief not just for the baby Metroid but for the planet she grew up on.Of she would doubt herself for failing to save not just the baby Metroid but failing to save her planet that she lived on.if the only person that is a family to her is still alive of course she is going do what that person says. She only obeyed Adam because he was the only family member to her that was alive. at the end of Metroid the other m she got her confidence back. What the story tells you is how Samus Aran was at here lowest she was dealing with grief. adam knew what she was going through. let me ask you this in that game Adam was shocked that she was there because he knew that someone in his group was out there to kill him and her. first of all he sent her to different area while his group did the other work so she would would not be not be killed. also the reason why he did not ask her to activate her varia suit is that he wanted her to tuffen up and get over her grief. third he shot her in the back for two reasons one he wanted to se if the clone metroid of the baby would recognize her as its mother if it did not the he had a ice gun to kill it which he did. The second reason he hit her is so she would not follow him in to the trap that the person had set for her. Three he also wanted to sacrifice himself so that Samus would not be think of him and her last person that concerned family was gone so that she could overcome her grief and return to space bounty hunter that she was.also the reason why she freaked out when she saw Ridley was because he was the main reason the baby Metroid died and she lost her home world. it dose not matter how strong you are. Even a space bounty hunter grieves over loss. the reason why Adam did what he did was to bring back her confidence so she would return back to the cool space bounty hunter that she was.the hole story is about overcoming grief and getting back your confidence that is what metroid the other m is about.
Bomberman needed to be the same as he was when he first debuted and just enhanced so gameplay also with some new mechanics to make it fresh for a new generation of fans.
Dishonorable mentions
- Banjo & Kazooie (Banjo Kazooie Nuts and Bolts)
- Mega Man (Street Fighter X Tekken)
- Reptile (Mortal Kombat Deadly Alliance), Stryker & Motaro (MK Armageddon)
- Pacman (Pacman and The Ghostly Adventures)
- Spencer (Bionic Commando 2009)
- BJ Blazkowicz (Wolfenstein 2009)
I liked Reptiles Deadly Alliance appearance. It makes him look like an actual lizard
@@cadencoolkid4935 I agree. And it was better than his MK4 appearance.
Don’t forget King Dedede (Kirby and the Forgotten Land)
Nice to see Knuckles early in the list. I like both his designs, but the Boom design accentuates him as the tough guy. He can't glide, but that honestly didnt make sense to me anyway since his OG design doesn't even imply that ability at all.
Despite his lack of intelligence as he has in video games, I thought Knuckles looked pretty cool as his buffed and goofy self in the Sonic Boom series.
I remember reading a article about DMC Devil May Cry in highschool about Capcom getting death threats because of the game that's how you know the situation was crazy.
whats the rock song or instrumental on the background?
Spyro looks great in Skylanders, Knuckles looks fine in Sonic Boom, and Dante looks fine in DMC. Why does everyone overhate these designs so much?
I really liked Spyro at all. I couldn't find one I actually hated.
The Vivosaurs from Fossil Fighters Frontier. Half of them I really liked, but the other half I couldn't care less.
Conker's redesign in Live and Reloaded is pretty good
Was that Richard Horvitz at 12:00? I know him best as Alpha 5 and Invader Zim.
Is Spyro’s redesign in Skylanders; really terrible?
I don't think it's terrible to me.
@@jafodesrrhinuaaanndez1521 Same here!
When you compare his sleeker original design, then yes. Luckily, all the other characters carried Skylanders anyway
Some of this "redisings" you complain about, feel more like "character rewrites".
For example like Samus. Samus looks great in other M.
3:36 Knuckles is so weird when he has fingers
Where is Sonic re-design iknow it was a movie but still Tf was that😂😂
You forgot King Dedede’s “Kirby and the Forgotten Land” redesign.
What is this shitty list? Samus' Other M Suit and Zero Suit design is the sleekist she's ever looked like. Her characterization is an entirely different matter.
Her design looks great, But this list he explain about the messy story which We can agree on.
Dishonorable Mention: Tiny Kong’s redesign
Wait what wrong with Tiny Kong's...ooooh I get it ,but I don't think it's that bad.
Spyro’s designers after seeing Skylanders: *Look how they massacred my boy*
I hated the look of Skylanders Spyro the second I saw him. He looks terribly dreadful, and nothing like a dragon. And fans of the classic hated his image in TLoS? Well, the general reaction was tame by comparison to his Skylanders design.
I thought the new Spyro looked pretty cool.
awesome job about The WORST Video Game Character Redesigns from Top 10
I like Knuckles in Sonic Boom because in the games before this one he is a little gullible because he gets tricked by Eggman numerous times and he’s hardheaded
They did Conker wrong which pissed me off, and because of that we will never see another game....
Also.
I'm Redfield.
I'm Patrick
The bad remake of Conker should've been number 1 instead.
Conker's been redesigned twice. His original appearance was in Diddy Kong Racing and Conker's Pocket Tales. His first redesign was in Bad Fur Day. His second is in Young Conker
His Bad Fur Day design was fine though. It was all the gameplay and censorship changes that killed it.
Conker Live & Reloaded is Not Like Bad Remake More Like Xbox Counterpart
My least favorite redesign was what they did the the cooper gang in the fourth game as well as carmalita fox
The dark queen from battletoads 😂
They don't to piss of their woke overlords.... or else they will be called "muh, gamer gate advocates" or soem shit.
Have you guys forgotten Goemon? His edgy redesign was before all of these examples.
I like the brawny look Sonic Boom gave Knuckles, but yeah he is a bit too dumb in the game. I feel like in terms of attitude the movie did it best, but I don't get the Boom Design hatred. I will also die on this hill, Skylander Spyro > Normal Spyro
How about Ratchet? They made him too cutesy and more animal like starting in the PS3 games. In the original trilogy, he had a rougher appearance more in line with a mechanic, and it was more believable that he was an alien and not just an animal
So true
I'm very lucky; as I didn't play any of these games except DMC, but then I didn't play the Devil May Cry games. So I didn't have a problem with the game. I played the first few Sonic games but didn't get past Sonic and Knuckles. Played the first Spyro only
Huh spyro the dragon on list priceless
Crash bandicoot in Mind over mutant
Why
@@At-px6rm cause it sucks
Snake in MGS5 and Sam Fisher in SC Blacklist
Zero from Mega Man X should've been on here. He looked like a total badass in the Mega Man X games but got redesigned to look like a toddler playing dress up in his own series.
If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.
Banjo kazooie nuts and bolts has the worst redesign ever they are so hard to look at!😅
Changing it up a bit why not boring to keep go same design
Battletoads 2020 deserves this treatment
Okay I know it was changed, but what about Cole McGrath?
I don't if because I grewup with skylanders but I don't get hate on Spyro redesign, it fine. Why everyone think the worse redesign when bomber act zero exists. Fucking watch mojo.
Samus design looks good in other M, you talking about character description and nothing about her design.
I was wondering why that was on the list.
@@zachtwilightwindwaker596
I know, Samus still looks hot.
Crash 4s design I hate with a passion. Should have stuck with the trilogy remaster design
Still a lot better than his Crash of the Titans design.
@@staticshock4239 yeah definitely
I don't mind Crash and Cortex's designs but the other characters feel too much of a departure from their designs in N-Sane trilogy. Tawna doesn't even look like the same character.
Honestly I’m in the middle when it comes to the redesigns of Sonic and friends. Specifically with Sonic and Knuckles. I didn’t mind how Tails and Amy looked. Tails being a genius mechanic wearing a few belts and a pair of goggles makes sense for him and I do like making Boom’s version of Amy more independent and not just a love stricken fangirl. I’m really tired of that so seeing this was quite refreshing for me. And while the bandages are a bit much I can look past it. It’s with Sonic and Knuckles I have an issue with. Now I get what they were trying to do with Knuckles, being all big and muscular but not very bright makes sense, given that he’s supposed to be super strong in the main continuity but did they really have to take that idea literally? And true Knuckles had never been the brightest of the trio but he wasn’t necessarily stupid just naive and short tempered, and rather stubborn. As for Sonic what the hell is this? Bandages all over his body and even shoes, the brown scarf and extra quills. Now none of these are bad on their own but when you combine them, it’s way too busy and cluttered.
Even though this video is about video game characters, it reminds me of the disappointing character redesigns of Monster High and Enchantimals.
I think Crash with a tattoo, Titans version of Tiny (like he's not even recognizable, his look and personality was just that bad) and the Titans / Mutant design of Uka Uka and Aku Aku where all deserving on a list link this
and not much of a Mega Man fan myself, tho I like the character, I do agree that Mega Man's redesign is also deserving of this list (I'm referring to his design in: Street Fighter X Tekken for those wondering)
Pac-Man's Ghostly Adventure redesign is also deserving on a list like this
also if Sonic kept his original movie design that too was a horrible redesign for Sonic, thanks to the fans it got fixed
tho going into movie versions of the characters
the Goomba designs from the live action Mario movie is also another horrible design
these are the once not mentioned in this video I can think of as of the time of me writing this
Oh no, El Donte Exterminador de Demonios. He's here
Bomberman X remains as the champ of this little contest.
after 2010s to 2018 i felt everything was wrong with rechange on looks
Yes reginited trilogy was the final nail in the coffin for Spyro. Microsoft is not making anymore Spyro games.
The Prince from the prince of Persia 2008/09 version.
Tawna Bandicoot in Crash Bandicoot 4.
I Absolutely Agree! The Worst Video Game Character Redesign Looks I Absolutely Hate, Loathe and Despised are:
1. Frank West from *Dead Rising 4*
2. Knuckles the Echidna from *Sonic Boom Television Series and Video Game*
3. Chris Redfield from *Resident Evil 7: Biohazard*
4. Samus Aran from *Metroid: Other M*
5. Bomberman from *Bomberman: Act Zero*
6. Dante from *DMC: Devil May Cry*
7. Spyro from the *Skylanders* franchise
These are THE Worst Video Game Character Redesign Looks I Absolutely Hate, Loathe and Despised right there.
I agree
Spyros redesign is not that bad
The worst redesign? Thin Pikachu. Thicc Pikachu was an absolute unit and was perfect.
Cole from Infamous
Max Payne in Max Payne 3. The bald head, beard and Hawaiian shirt.
After MKA, they change everything, faces, names, stories, ugh!!
Oh
I rather the new Dante than the old one... The old one is way too goofy for my taste. And also the gameplay was awesome.
Do you think the Crash bandicoot redesign of Crash of The Titans is bad? To be honest i actually think it’s kinda rad.
after MKA, I never liked characters of new games, they keep changing faces, uh stories, and revealing ninjas' faces such scropion, sub-zero, rain, etc.and giving em new names, nope that's not MK i know
10:49 I own a PlayStation but I haven’t played Spyro yet but his Design isn’t so Bad
So Aloy from Horizon Forbidden West and MJ from Spider-Man 2 don't count?
Can't Nintendo just buy rareware from Microsoft back? I think it would be the best idea as we're still waiting for the remasters of not only the Donkey Kong series but also Banjo-Kazooie, Banjo-Tooie, Perfect Dark and Golden Eye
My only hate For a charater redesign it's has to be king dedede From Kirby retiran to Dreamland deluxe
Sonic Boom knuckles in the games was terrible. But on the show he was hilarious. The show knew what it wanted to be, the show was meant to be funny. I can still remember several jokes
Samus resign is not bad. The game play was not the worst part
Samus looks great, the gameplay is between good and decent, and the story messy.
I just played VII Rebirth, and I can say that I dislike the new Moogle design
I still call it Edgelord May Cry. Someone told me it’s a good game, but they butchered him bad!!!! And seeing that scene made me want to punch the screen when I first saw it. They knew it’d piss fans off and decided to push it farther by mocking us
