The Hunt is On, Boys-!

A singular claw is all it takes to stop Fox from closing the door. Wolf sloooooooowly opens it back up, staring blankly at his sworn rival with his single good eye. What's the matter? Did you really think you could hit Wolf with a low blow and leave unpunished? This is pathetic, Fox. At least your father would've allowed Wolf a chance to swing back.

"I don't spend hours scrubbing the stains outta this suit myself just to hear I don't wash my own clothes." Leather is a tough material. Too delicate for dry-cleaning, too tough for the tumble dryer. Wolf may have his vices, yes, but he wasn't a slob. "Believe it or not, Star Wolf's got one hell of a hygiene policy to keep up with. Spent too much time puttin' up with Pigma's 'natural manly musk' to do otherwise."

Yes, he does the air quotes as he speaks. At least Leon and Panther knew how to look after themselves (though Panther could've done with a little less looking after himself in his personal opinion).

“The way to do it is to start as low as possible. Save your sobstories, this is a battle of wills. Five coins…are you man enough?”

Karik looked serious, to a man who lived a harsh life in Darkland. Along with barely getting much money for his work for Bowser. Each coin was hard earned, Wolf would have to show his strength of will to get Karik’s money.

Karik was totally going to buy, but the battle for the price was real.

Oh, we’re challenging his manhood now huh.

Wolf looks Karik dead in the eye. He knows how this game goes. He’s a mercenary; he’s experienced his own share of dry seasons and has had to haggle before. This song and dance is nothing new.

❝ … you do know mario is  often called ‘mr. nintendo’, don’t you? i can confirm it with him. i can literally call him. like, right now. ❞ bad word choice. wolf has been BEANSED.

Um. Oops. He walked right into that, didn’t he. Time to throw any sense of politeness out the window.

“I would like to buy one for my younger brother…he’s always going on about having the latest thing. Sends me CDs all the time of his band…name your price. We can haggle if need be, I heard that’s what sellers do.”

Karik had a feeling this was a scam, but his brother was annoying him for a gift for his birthday. Karik didn’t go gifts well, least he would get him something.

“We’re talking 30 coins here, Karik. Converts to about 50 galactic credits --- and it’s for a good cause.” The Wolfen was in dire need of upgrades if it ever had hopes of competing against Star Fox’s Arwings, but he didn’t want Wario to try undercutting him again if he hiked up the price.

“Umm, are you sure mister? I do have 30 coins on me! I-I don’t want you to lose money!”

With a small smile, Ana places the 30 coins in Wolf’s paw, “Here! Now you can buy something, like cookies!”

Admittedly this was supposed to be her piggy bank money but…she wanted her friends to have fun!

Should he really take the full price? Why, he just didn’t know...

Oh well, kid drove a hard bargain and everything - might as well give her what she wanted!

❝ you don’t want to know.

❝ — report the stolen software immediately. ❞

“Stolen?!” Wolf gasps - the audacity of this puppet, accusing him of committing such a heinous crime?! Why, he would never.

“Ooh, me, me! Kat took our copy of Mario Party DS with her and I’d like to show the game to Lulu and my friends sometimes if Kat’s not here with the game!”

The little ninja looks up to the towering Wolf, “How many coins do you need? I got a quite a few!”

“Let me think!” Wolf scratches behind one of his ears. “Usually, I’ll go for 30 coins for one of these babies... but you know what? I’m feeling generous today.”

“I’ll sell it to you for ten coins!”

“And who, exactly, is ‘he’?”

Accessibility in video games needs to be more the norm. Say what you will about The Last of Us II, but at the very least they offered a very customizable group of settings to allow disabled people to tailor their experience with the game.

Not every video game, unfortunately, is this good about accessibility. Obviously, Cyberpunk 2077 causing seizures is the big recent mainstream example, but I’m also referring to how Pokémon Sword and Shield hides their volume settings behind a random NPC that you could easily bypass. Heck, most video games don’t even have volume sliders for voices, music, etc-- along with other examples of lack of accessibility.
