Your memorable video game characters of all time. - Artwark - 07-27-2013
My most memorable video game characters of all time are
1.Mario-Whether you hate him or love him, Mario has been to me the greatest video game character of all time. Mario always makes me smile and laugh and his gameplay is the most simplest any gamer could possibly want.
My times with mario was that I first played a pc mario game. Then I played these games like Donkey kong and Super mario bros. Eventually I became a huge mario fan with all the charming characters including luigi, wario, waluigi, peach, daisy, bowser, toad, toadsworth and many others.
One of my favorite mario games( and mario spin offs) of all time are super mario 64, super mario world, super mario galaxy and 2, Mario vs Donkey kong, Mario and Luigi superstar saga, mario and luigi bowser's inside story, luigi's mansion and paper mario the thousand year door. But that's not to say that the other mario games aren't that memorable infact all mario games I played were great to me ( yes even mario pinball land).
2. Sonic the hedgehog- Now even though I was envious that sonic was better than mario and that I'm more of a mario fan than sonic, I cannot deny the awesomeness of his speedy gameplay. My first sonic game would be sonic 3d blast. It took time to realize that sonic was suppose to be a character that runs fast not to be a puzzle maniac.
Some memorable sonic games are Sonic the hedgehog 3 & knuckles which is a great sonic game I've ever played. Infact its a lot better than the mediocre sonic games(Until sonic colors). Then there's sonic adventure 2 battle which had sonic in a realistic theme. Then there's sonic advance series and finally Sonic CD.
3. Legend of Zelda- Zelda wasn't a series I got into until I played Link to the Past and Phantom Hourglass. Since then I've also been playing Zelda games such as Skyward sword, Sprit tracks and ocarina of time. I love the feel of solving puzzles that are less annoying compared to the Professor Layton games(Due to the hints not always being helpful)
4.Professor Layton: Professor Layton was something I never thought of until my brother got me curious village. Every professor layton game had fantastic cutscenes that are i think hand drawn and the characters are well put especially Inspector Chelmey as well as the unique stories. The most memorable Professor Layton game I've ever played is Unwound future as the story is very touching towards the end of the game and the hints are more helpful in that game only!!! Its sad to see the series end but I can't wait to get the last layton game regardless.
5.Rayman- Rayman and Rayman 2 the great escape are my favorite games of all time. The first one had fantasic animations and graphics as well as simple gameplay and it was challenging throughout the entire game. Rayman 2 is a masterpiece for its faithful story and amazing level design. I also played Rayman 3 and origins but the're not as great as the first 2 due to the fact that its more stupid looking and that Rayman becomes clumsy.

I dunno... Cloud?
Like, I remember all characters from my favorite games so well. If the game is good, the characters will become memorable too.

I remember someone did a survey in his local shopping mall. It had a lot of characters from the 90's in it, Mario, Link, Red, Sonic etc.
It even had Megaman.
Literally everyone got Mario, about 5 people got red, everyone else called him "Ash", and no one got Megaman, not a single person recognized him.
I'd say the most memorable, are probably all of the popular games. Drake, from Uncharted. probably wouldn't be recognized, when compared to someone like Master Chief would. Even though both games are popular, many people probably wouldn't recognize Drake, while they would MC.

Handsome Jack I guess. Its hard to forget such a character.

Axel from the Kingdom Hearts series, specifically KH 2 and 358/2 days. I just love his arc, his voice acting is amazing and I like how they worked him into KH 2. When you first see him, you assume he's just another pissed off asshole from the Organization, but then you learn about his motivation later in 2 and it's really built upon in 358.

Ganondorf. Oddly enough, he only became iconic by the N64 era. Yeah his pig monster form was known, but once he was a big green sorcerer with bright orange hair?
He became an Evil Overlord and cemented.
