Doom should have been in, it is THE early FPS and THE PC game.

Tekken wasn't in because all of these games were supposedly in for a reason and there were already two much more prominent fighting series.

Pong vs Breakout - Pong is the first publicly available video game, Breakout is because ??????

Space Invaders - some people think this is actually the first game its such a famous classic game

Asteroids - a similarly ubiquitous classic game (I would've gone with Galaga personally)

Pac-Man - the first (popular) video game hero, ever, and super iconic

Donkey Kong - the start of Nintendo, probably one of the most influential video game villains of all time

Pitfall - the start of adventure games, and just generally a ye franchise

Bomberman - i forget, apparently it started a certain genre or something

Tetris - incredibly iconic early video game, first video game in space

Mario Bros - literally all of video games

Link - One of the most famous non-adapted video game franchises is Legend of Zelda. Hack and slash.

Mega Man - Capcom. All-around iconic. Shooting games I think?

Samus - female character, was in smash bros

Ryu - started fighting games and one of the most iconic video game characters, ye

Scrooge McDuck - THE representative of games based on not-games

Captain Falcon - F-Zero represents racing games, also partially represents SSB

Sonic - honestly, doesn't really represent anything besides SEGA, but also very iconic

Kirby - i don't know but i love kirby so fuck you

Sub-Zero - ESRB rating system, a complete lack of understanding of what people actually care about from Mortal Kombat (aka Scorpion and Shao Kahn)

Fox McCloud - flying shooting things genre (i forget what its called but hes supposed to be the icon of the franchise)

Ness - RPGs (mediocre choice)

Crono - RPGs (poor choice)

Crash - 3D platforming, was a playstation icon

Lara Croft - Action-Adventure, also female, and very iconic

Cloud - RPGs (valid choice), iconic

Banjo and Kazooie - two-player co-op thingies (personally, I didn't really feel it)

Spyro - playstation icon

Solid Snake - invented the stealth genre (IN THE FUCKING EIGHTIES LIKE FUCK NOT THE FUCKING END OF 90S HE SHOULD BE RIGHT AFTER LINK), super iconic

Pyramid Head - horror game villains

Gold - because fucking Pokemon and also he felt Ash didn't fit, Pikachu was also more famous because of non-video game material, and that Red was too similar to Ash

Sims - sim game

Master Chief - X-Box, sci-fi FPS

Arthas - MMOs

Sora - crossovers between games and not-games

Joe - ?????????????

Freeman - PC gaming, Valve

Kratos - hack and slash, modern playstation

Wander - ??????????? (I still have almost no idea what a Shadow of the Colossus is)

Amaterasu - something about modern capcom or something, i forget, it was explained well before

Roblox - Sandbox games

Desmond - Ubisoft, the Assassin's Creed franchise being very well known

Niko - GTA, didn't want to use any single one of the GTA V trio or the whole trio plus Justin loves GTA IV iirc

Cole - choice-oriented gaming, modern playstation!

Red Bird - mobile games

Ethan Mars - choice-oriented gaming, modern playstation!

Mason - fucking CoD, debatably the most iconic FPS franchise ever, certainly the most iconic "realistic" style

Steve - PC gaming

Traveler - PC gaming

Joel and Ellie - zombie games

Shovel Knight - PC gaming

Sole Survivor - bias

Geralt - Witcher 3 won goty awards

seriously where were Doom, Skyrim and appropriate reps for GTA (either a GTA V or CJ, cuz SA started the mainstreamity of GTA), Pokemon (Red, Mewtwo, Pikachu or Charizard IMO) and Mortal Kombat (Scorpion or Shao Kahn, man)
