How is hardcore defined here? There are E, T, and M rated games in this list. And surely Samus is a Nintendo mascot?

I don't mean to be flip; I just don't see what binds these games together?



"Mascot" is a rather broad term, but I narrowed it down to basically "games starring furry animals or cartoon characters". Unless it was aimed specifically at an older audience, hence why Conker is included, but not say, Banjo-Kazooie. Samus makes the cut therefor IMO, it's mostly a franchise aimed at more hardcore players with an art style/aesthic more aimed towards them too (versus say, Animal Crossing).

To the person who asked about Street Fighter II, that would take the list before 1995, and I don't have a problem doing that, it just would be hard to reliably find numbers for all pre-95 games.

Happyd is right. I wouldn't want to see a bunch of posts questioning the legitimacy of my thread right off the bat. Sorry about that, Soundwave. No hard feelings?

I have a couple to add to the list. How about Turok 1, 2, 3, and Rage Wars, all for N64? I'm not sure how much they sold, but I bet the first two sold fairly well.

I'm trying to find accurate sales numbers for Turok, but I'm pretty sure VGChartz' estimate of 50,000 copies is not right. They have 370,000 listed for Turok: Rage Wars as well.

Turok 2 is on the list at 1.89 million.
