If you take out the Nintendo characters and Sonic from this list, you have to admit that it is a pretty good list.

 

 but what about snake

I actually agree with that list. :)

I pretty much agree with the list. I wish Nintendo would create some new IP instead of endlessly recreating mario, zelda etc

They were great characters and stories. A long time ago. They could easily come up with some amazing stuff if they would just move away from the safe profits of old faithful.

Have you ever seen MGS4? Snake is old, it's only a matter of time until he dies.

I think it's because Snake said that he doesn't want to live yet another life without a penis.

How has 'bad guy kidnaps the princess, go save her' ever been a great story? Nintendo games always have been and always will be about great gameplay. I don't understand how changing the main character who saves the princess could make an excellent game better.

So, basically, that list contains the most influental and important VG characters in history? Good job, I hope it was a joke on his part...

I didn't necessarily say Mario had a great story... was referring more to Zelda.  And Mario may not have had great story...well... ever, but the world building was second to none back then. 

Either way I'm sick of seeing Mario's face, and would like to see new characters, new gameplay, pretty much new everything.  But for me, this generally applies to any characters that have already seen 3 or 4 games.
