Shades ofWorld of Warcraft, fans have banded together viaChange.orgpetition to ask Nintendo to honor the actor super slot and comedian in the next game in the series, and Nintendo has responded.

I would like to suggest that when the game is localised to English, Nintendo of America and the Treehouse name one of the characters “Robin” in his memory. He won’t get to play it, but he’ll live on forever in a universe he always loved. In a statement to Polygon, a n98 Nintendo representative expressed the company’s love for Williams, offering its condolences to his family, especially daughter Zelda Williams, who has worked with Nintendo on several occassions, including a commercial with her father z16 ทางเข้า for the 3DS remake of The Ocarina of Time and the celebrity tournamentat the Super Smash Bros.
