Gotta have an honorary mention of Reggie Fils-Aime, who was incredibly influential on the NoA side of things.

For characters, it's definitely the Mario Bros., Link, and Pikachu. Maybe DK or R.O.B.

Same, I'd say DK is the weakest link on both lists, but I can't come up with a better option so it's pretty irrelevant.

Also this. Though I wouldn't put DK that high, but I can't really think of someone better. Maybe Isabelle or Kirby?

Pikachu is definitely on the list, even if not officially a Nintendo character (I don't know how that ownership actually works).

Forgive my ignorance but I'm surprised by the amount of Pikachu mentions. As popular as Pokemon is I don't know that it's a Nintendo franchise in the way Star Fox or Metroid are.

IIRC, The Pokemon Company is considered a separate company, but Nintendo owns about 1/3 of TPC, while Creatures and Gamefreak each also own about 1/3 as well. So Pikachu is not quite a 1st party Nintendo character, but I'd say it's closer to that than it is to being considered a 3rd party character like, say, Banjo.

Oh, really?

Yeah, DK makes sense.

Look, I like Metroid as much as the next guy, but anyone saying Samus is huffing copium. Metroid only just became relevant again.

My personal list would be Mario, Link, Samus, and DK. But really Pikachu should be in Samus' place.

No opinion the humans.

Metroid is a classic 1st party Nintendo title that has stood the test of time. Recency bias is something we have to get away from.

and how long was DK dormant for outside of being in mario spin offs?

hell DK is coming back from his THIRD time fading

samus has only had two

plus i feel it should be 1 character per franchise and DK is still part of the mario franchise
