not sure you prefaced that with "lmao, what" as if this perspective is a confusing one

you can argue that fall-out as a whole deserves a rep, sure, but in comparision to all the popular games out there even in the present day it's not more or less prominent than others and justin's love for the series was definitely a contributing factor to his appearance, especially since he was originally slated to be the last rapper before some weird-ass guy from a game i just had to google to remember the name of lol

whether or not earthbound or star fox had their impacts when their games first came out is sort of irrelevant. yes, it's thanks to smash that earthbound ever got as big as it is, and same goes for fire emblem, but they are regardless still massive in terms of notability and still earn a spot in a cast that is trying to factor for all major video games

journey, on the other hand, is a one-off game with no sequels who was cut from even just having a stage in playstation all-stars. in terms of capcom releases, viewtiful joe isn't a major name in the least, especially not as much as other characters who didn't appear like a tekken rep or duck hunt

i don't see why whether or not the series is still continuing should matter? your main argument seems to be that mother, kirby, metroid, star fox and f-zero are "not that impactful" yet somehow journey, okami or viewtiful joe are? what is your qualification for what should or should not appear in the battle then? sorta confusing to host an "ultimate video game rap battle" that has characters like ethan mars or scrooge mcduck yet doesnt have ness, captain falcon or samus

all-in-all, im p sure characters like the aforementioned three were chosen to give the battle a vibe of pick-and-choosing characters from games without any central theme running between them, especially considering the diversity in video games as of late

it doesn't take much twisting. "icon" means "something that could be a representitive" and for all their respective mediums, the aforementioned nintendo games could easily. mother is a fine pick to represent RPGs, star fox for rail-shooters, f-zero for racing. all these work for their respective genres

also, just to be clear, using gold instead of red is fucking dumb
