lmao, what.

Fallout, Viewtiful Joe, Okami, and Journey are all much more sensible games to use than both Earthbound and Star Fox.

Samus is good only really for more female reps as a fairly large icon for female video game characters, since the amount there is super limited overall, so I'm fine with her usage, but in the overall jist of things, she's not as prominent nor impactful as one would think. Kirby isn't really a major gaming icon at all, but since he's part of Nintendo's essential "big four" with Mario, Link, and Pikachu, I can pass it.

Neither Ness nor Fox are "major gaming icons", no matter how you try to twist it. As a fucking massive Nintendo fan, I can say that with certainty. Their popularity is only currently held up by Smash Bros at all now (and even then, their representation in Smash is pretty shody), Star Fox only barely taking back off the ground with their newest game after a good ten years. And Earthbound is never returning, the creator has stated he doesn't want the series to officially continue and Nintendo has made it clear that they certainly aren't going to be translating Mother 3 over anytime soon.
