Topic	It's weird how few Japanese icons there are in gaming.
Bat178 01/21/21 8:45:10 AM #31	FortuneCookie posted... Ryu Hyabusa from Ninja Gaiden Ryu (no family name given) from Street Fighter Strider Hiryu from Strider Mario is Italian. Link is Germanic. Samus is white. Master Chief is... Well, he could be Japanese. He could be anything. Doom Guy is white. Lara Croft is white. (Originally gonna be South American.) Yoshi, Donkey Kong, Sonic, Pikachu are all animals. Kirby and Pac-Man are indeterminate lifeforms. Considering the majority of video games are produced in Japan, it's a little odd that characters who are ethnic Japanese would be so lacking. I don't think any of the Persona characters have reached icon status yet. Some may be gaining though. Of the lot, Ryu (the Street Fighter one) is easily the most famous. Link seems more Balkan than Germanic, or at least Hyrule in general does. --- Someone! Anyone! Get these POOR people out of my pokemon game!

Topic	Japanese games really peaked in the 2000s generation of games
Bat178 01/21/21 4:56:31 AM #25	It really doesn't help that Sony moved to the US and have been actively antagonizing Japan, too, so Nintendo are all they have left to turn to in the console market. --- Someone!
