Evolution of Nina Cortex in Crash Bandicoot Games

[@GarbageEmpire]

I like the Crash run interpretation of her since it also takes into account the lore of why she gets angry so easily. She genuinely loves animals and likes holding them. I think it was Cortex who gave her the robotic hands so that she couldn't hold them without hurting them anymore. She got forced to be evil and it's a sad thing but she's a cool character.

[@RetroPanda13]

It's sad that Nina wasn't a bad kid at first. She was actually kinda nice and loved hugging plushies and cute animals but Cortex decided to replace her hands by mechanical ones so she couldn't hug stuffs and thus the reason she's mostly evil.

[@unknownentity8489]

@@Ign0rantP3rson Well, it is something she has to deal with her whole life, and it goes without saying waking up everyday to that fact would make her rather bitter. So guess she figured she might as well take the whole evil route. Besides, it's Crash Bandicoot; dumb or not, it fits within the universe when you consider all the ridiculousness the series has.

[@michaeloverton04]

I love how she was meant to appear Twinsanity first, yet somehow made her debut in Crash Purple without Twinsanity's Dev. team even knowing until after the games release. How that happened is still beyond me.

There are a lot of shared voice actors in these sort of games, ratchet from ratchet and clank is voiced by the same person who played Johnny test.

Guess there's a big divide between people who like her Titans redesign/ hate her main series design, and vice versa. Tbh I love her original look. She's kinda ugly-cute. Titans render looks kinda uncanny to me

[@neros1277]

Only if her original design had eyebrows instead of chunks of skin like fukcing muscular anime character

[@toongrowner1]

prefer her original look too. It really fits the cartoon vibe crash has, and really is augly in a cute kinda way.

[@garfieldcat4507]

And I like Nina more in the titans. She just needs a little tweaking. The original character is too stubborn. And if a new part is still coming out, then I will be against saving this character, since it will no longer be appropriate. Still, somewhere you need to make changes over the heroes. I understand that the game is not serious, but still the characters tend to grow and evolve. And Nina really does not hurt to upgrade. Become more of a teenager than a kid. I would even say to become more sexualized. The original character is just outdated.

[@Zomdra]

@@garfieldcat4507 I really don't know what you're trying to say here, first of all, the comment you're replying to was only about Nina's character design, not her personality. I don't know what "the original character is too stubborn" is supposed to mean. What version of Nina are you defining as "the original"? The childish Crash Purple version, the mute Twinsanity version or the malevolent post-CTTR version? No matter which one you meant, I really don't get "too stubborn" as a criticism of a character like her; she's no more "stubborn" than any other villain in the Crash series. I don't understand what you consider "outdated" about Nina. No matter which version you're talking about, that just doesn't make any sense. There's really nothing that ties her character to any specific time with any of the three versions of her personality. Oh and what on Earth was that part about sexualisation supposed to mean? Nina has never been remotely sexualised as a character before, are you saying you _want_ her to be sexualised in future games? Because that's kind of a creepy thing to want for a child/early teens character.

[@GreedyDrunk92]

@@Zomdra "kind of creepy" is a hell of a minimalization

[@SpaceOcelot4548]

It sucks that we don’t really get much character for her. She was MEANT to have more in twinsanity, but that got rushed as we know. Hopefully she has an actual like, character in another crash game in the future.
