And for pete effing sake people, it's last DECADE! Stop whining about 80s characters. Snake and Samus were around before most of us were even born.


No need to shout. Naz cleared that up quite a few posts ago and since then no one has complained.

THere are other supporting characters on there... they are part of the "top 30."

As a side note, a lot of you seem confused by the lack of Snake/Nintendo characters. These are characters created in the last decade. No, that doesn't make the list less shitty, but it certainly shouldn't have any Nintendo characters because they haven't made any in the last decade (only a slight exaggeration).

Nintendo has created several hundred Pokémon along with about two hundred Fire Emblem characters. There's your slight exaggeration.

Plus Midna was a better supporting character than those that made it on that cover. I like to correct you, because... well, someone has to do it.

I agree on Midna, but she still shouldn't make a top 30. Those 200 Fire Emblem characters shouldn't make a top 100 :P


I was going to say Toadette, Rosalina, The collective casts of Advance Wars titles, Fire Emblem titles, Pikmin 1 and 2, Paper Mario titles, Mario & Luigi Titles, Bowser Jr., Zant, Tetra, and Byrne all came to mind.



Pixel Art can be fun.

There should be a generic Mii in the there.  That's the biggest character of this decade.

An avatar =/= a Character.


Miis aren't avatars.



These are avatars..



Pixel Art can be fun.

Even with a top 100 list people would complain/criticize..

Only two I miss are sackoy and Marcus Phenix..

A list of those 30 would be nice their are a few I don't know;.

I dunno about you but I thought she was a pretty neat character.

She was a deep character with decent character development.
