Is Waixing's mascot cuter than Disk-kun?

I don't know if it's got a name, but Fuzhou Waixing Computer Science & Technology Co., Ltd.'s -- mouthful -- mascot is definitely one of the best mascots I've come across. He looks better beaming from a cartridge.



He kinda does his little dance, with his little smirk and that blink. Disk-kun always struck me as kinda dumb...clueless. At least that's how he's portrayed in a lot of Disk Writer and Disk Fax publications.

Of course, I also like Super Pig:

No.
I like Disk-kun better.

But Super-Pig is kinda cute.

FWCSTCL's mascot seems to me like something that would be in an Atari 7800 game for some reason...

But I like Disk-Kun the best...
I don't know any other mascot that unoffically drinks and parties on his 25th Birthday ;)

FWCSTCL's mascot looks like a creepy nutsack to me. heh. Super pig is pretty cool. Disk Kun is a classic, though I too think he is portrayed as being dumb.

Haha, I didn't know why JC had a picture of an animated pig for his profile pic until I found out he is one of his favorite mascots :P

Disk Kun is better because he seems... sedated and relaxed. Though if the homepage is any indication, he does like to drink when he can.

He is even more sedated and relaxed when he drinks.  :P

He has also a very healthy yellow face color.

Almost like another '80s family we all know.....

Those mascots are cool. Does anyone happen to have a sprite of Disk-kun? I'm not sure if he appeared in any games or not. If so, please provide a pic!

Disk-kun appears in Golf: US Course and Smash Ping Pong. I'd like to see a screen of him in Smash.

I think he should be some kinda super secret trophy or hidden character in SSBB.  He would pwn :P

Are those Disk System games? Can you provide a pic of him? I'd really like to see the sprite so I can make it my new avatar.

I tried to grab one from Smash, but the ROM I downloaded seems to be fucked up.

You're too young...  :-\

Just to move this back on topic, I personally prefer Super Pig over all of them. Except for that awesome drunk Disk-Kun that we bring out on the site's birthday. :)
