Donkey Kong is the pinnacle of video game character design. You can see the muscles through his large and manly chest and strong powerful feet, a characteristic of DK. You see physique in his gorgeously swirled hair, it curves to perfection. He wears a tie to be formal because DK is a nice monkey. He has got huge hands for conquering the evil in the world.

Donkey Kong is the zenith of video game design, thus nintendo is the best at video game character design.

Well they do have a lot of freaky and original designs. They don't just do "guy in power armour". Although they did do "gal in power armour" :P

I always liked Geno the puppet. Though Goombas are very unique.

they are certainly the most...out there...company with character designs. they have everythign from small kids (link) to gorgeous women (zero suit samus)...from a pink ball (kirby) to what look like carrots with legs (pikmin). the only thing i think there missing is a muscle bound hero/idiot like a character from gears or unreal.

sony have a ferrit, a wombat (i think ratchet is based of a wombat...but im not sure), a robot that looks like an old man (clank) and the colossi. i think thats about as crazy as it gets for sony.

MS have a...er....hmm....er....anybody?

Then the wombat and robot that looks like an old man is also not PS, as they're third party as well. Insomniac are a third party developer for the PS3 :|

Insomniac is independent, but the relationship is so good that you can pretty much consider them sony owned. Sony probably finances them really well and Insomniac has said many times they aren't going anywhere. Sony owns all of Insomniacs IPs too.

oh i though ratchet and clank and daxter were first party..or perhaps second party. dammit its so hard to keep track of these things :P. uncharted is third party though isnt it? or was naughty dog bought by sony?

anywho the point i was making was that nintendo have the biggest diversity of character designs...from the usual to the very weird. sony not so much (an old man is hardly unusual and kratos goes under thecategory of muscle bound hero/idiot). and i cant think of anything unusual at all from MS..even counting their PC games (cole again muscle bound hero/idiot. same with master chief..a cibernetic muscle bound hero/idiot). weve seen it a billion times before and will see it a billion times more.

oh sony also have the loco roco and patapons....weird bunch those.

Anytime I play any kind of Mario/Nintendo compilation game (Mario Party, Mario Sports) I always use Donkey Kong. He is my boy!

I own the circuit in Mario Karts with him.

I think the best character that Nintendo made was GoombasDr-Doctor

I have this six inch Goomba with Mario's cap over his head. Bought it in China. I took him over and placed him on my work desk....Two days later I had to take him back. Everyone was trying to steal him! :)
