Me? I’m going to a kid-friendly party until 9pm (the time we put ‘em down), and then playing some karaoke with the wife and friends to bring in the new year. What about you?

In their January issue, Nintendo Power compiled a fun list of New Year’s resolutions for your “favorite and not-so-favorite video game characters.” Here are the ones that made me chuckle, if not outright laugh in the case of Starman:

• Pitt: Stop fighting it and legally change his name to Kid Icarus.
• Phoenix Wright: Stop going to Sonic’s barber.
• Shy Guy: Read a few books on self-esteem.
• Samus: Destroy eight more planets and drive at least two more species into extinction in the name of galactic peace.
• Link: Take some classes on public speaking.
• Starman from Pro Wrestling: Cut eyeholes in mask.
• Dog from Duck Hunt: Stop taking pleasure from other people’s misfortunes.
• Kin Corn Darn: Change his nickname from “a living karate tool” to something less insulting.
• Professor Layton: Grow a beard and become the world’s top Abraham Lincoln impersonator.

Any resolutions you’d like to make on behalf of a video game character?
