There are many attributes of video games that excite players; many aspects that draw them in and keep them enthralled in a game's world. Satisfying gameplay is of utmost importance, but unique environments, thrilling stories, and graphics can all play key roles.
But if there is one thing that must be perfected for a franchise or even a single game to succeed, it is the characters that the player spends time with. The stories of many games require interesting characters or else it falls apart. Gameplay can save mediocre characters in the eyes of some. But for certain stories, characters must bring something interesting to the table.
But it isn't just about their personalities as many classic games have proven these aren't necessary to make a game fun. There is also how the character feels in the hands of the player. Does it feel good to make them jump on a turtle's head? Does it feel good to slay monsters with their sword?
Regardless of what it is that makes them unique, there are many characters from video games that have become famous and beloved. Or at least they have to the most dedicated, as it's only those who can name all of them.
What is the name of the most famous Pokemon?
"Pokemon" is undoubtedly one of the biggest franchises on the planet. With a popular series of RPGs, a manga and anime series that are still pumping out content, toys, and a card game, it seems like it offers something for any type of fan. And ever since the show debuted in 1997, there has been one of the adorable pocket monsters who has become synonymous with the brand. This Electric-type became the poster child for the show when Ash Ketchum began his journey all those years ago. He'll even be starring in his own live-action movie soon. What is this Pokemon's name?
Who is Nintendo's mascot?
Nintendo has been around for much longer than many may realize. They were first founded in the 1880s as a playing card company before moving on to toys. And the late 1970s saw what would become one of the most popular types of toys debut: video games. After releasing several arcade cabinets, Nintendo would venture into the world of home consoles with the Nintendo Entertainment System, or the Famicom as it was known in Japan. With that console's premiere came a portly plumber who traversed the Mushroom Kingdom in search of a princess who had been captured by a villainous, fire-spitting turtle. What is the name of this character?
What is the name of this hedgehog?
With innovation comes competition and it wasn't too many years after Mario's debut that another company sought to unseat the king. Sega's hedgehog promised a faster and a more varied experience for fans of platformers. And throughout the early 90s, both mascots divided most gamers in what would be known as the first console war. Which makes it rather weird to think that this character can now be found on Nintendo's consoles. Though Sega no longer makes consoles and this character has had a bit of a fall from grace, there are still many passionate fans who defend him. What is this hedgehog's name?
Who is the hero of "Halo"?
The early 2000s saw the meteoric rise of first-person shooters with fantastic multiplayer modes. And one of the biggest series to lead this charge was "Halo." The single-player campaign focused on the war between humans and a group of different alien races called the Covenant. The series has continued to grow stronger, telling different stories and even including different types of gameplay. A new game titled "Halo Infinite" is currently being developed and players will get to continue this character's story. He is a high-ranking space marine who has been raised and biochemically altered to be a super soldier. What is his name?
What is the name of this princess?
Most Mario stories essentially go the same way: the princess gets captured and Mario has to rescue her by exploring different worlds and using different power-ups to defeat Bowser's goons. But this character has gotten a chance to shine through various spin-off games. She's been featured in every sports spin-off of the franchise and is a playable fighter in "Super Smash Bros." While she is a damsel in most of Mario's games, she's gone on adventures with him before like in "Super Mario Bros. 2" and "Super Mario 3D World." She rules over the Mushroom Kingdom and cares for people dearly. What is the name of this princess?
What is the name of this ninja?
Creating a game that helped start the gaming rating system is pretty impressive. The original "Mortal Kombat" both enthralled players and disgusted parents due to over-the-top gore. And that was nothing compared to how the series would evolve. The first game in the series didn't have too big of a roster, but this ninja has been seen in every main entry and is one of the most popular choices. His signature move is shooting a kunai out of his wrist to pull his opponents closer to him. But his fiery attacks are just as dangerous. What is the name of this ninja?
Who is the Tomb Raider?
For Sony's first PlayStation, the company sought to give players more mature games that they couldn't find on Nintendo's consoles. While this meant many of them included more mature content, "Tomb Raider" was successful for delivering thrills to players by letting them go on dangerous adventures. The series is still going strong today with "Shadow of the Tomb Raider" having been released in 2018. That game concluded the origin trilogy of the character, which saw her go from curious scholar to bonafide hero. With each game, she's tackled fantastical threats like dinosaurs and apocalypses. What is the name of the Tomb Raider?
Who is the main protagonist of the "Metal Gear" series?
For players who prefer games with a stealthier approach to their missions, there's no better series than "Metal Gear." Created by renowned director Hideo Kojima, the series first premiered in 1987 for home computers before being ported to consoles. That game had players take control of a rookie sent on his first mission for FOXHOUND, a special forces organization, after they had lost contact with a high ranking officer. And that rookie has grown to be one of FOXHOUND's most distinguished soldiers over the years. While many games let players control other heroes, this character is the most recognizable. What is his name?
Who is the God of Thunder in "Mortal Kombat"?
Even as far back as the first "Mortal Kombat," players were allowed to control characters with ridiculous and over-the-top abilities. It was much more extreme compared to other fighters like "Street Fighter" for a number of reasons. Similarly to Scorpion, this character was also seen in the original game and has been featured in every entry since. He is this game's God of Thunder, utilizing the electricity running through his body against any opponent. He can shoot bursts from his hands for distant attacks or pick someone up and electrocute them if close enough. Who is the God of Thunder from "Mortal Kombat"?
Who is the hero of "Final Fantasy VII"?
"Final Fantasy" is one of the longest running RPG series in the world of gaming and has featured a plethora of well-received heroes over time. But this hero is perhaps the most famous of them given that he starred in the first 3D entry, "Final Fantasy VII" on the original PlayStation. The game is still regarded as one of the best in the series and has even received several spin-offs and an anime film. This character would later go on to appear in the "Super Smash Bros." franchise as a playable fighter. Who is the hero of "Final Fantasy VII"?
Who is this hero from "Resident Evil"?
As a whole, the RE franchise has been frightening players for more than two decades. This character is one of the heroes from the original 1996 game that released on the original PlayStation. That game saw several members of the Raccoon City S.T.A.R.S. division at the edge of the city investigating the disappearances of other team members. But when horrific zombie dogs chased them into a mansion, they found themselves fighting off all manner of monsters.This protagonist has been seen in several others games, though there have been other entries that have focused on different heroes. What is her name?
Who is this swordsman?
With "The Legend of Zelda," Nintendo was able to create another beloved franchise that managed to be the opposite of Mario. Where Mario let players run and jump in tight, linear levels, "The Legend of Zelda" gave gamers the option to explore big worlds and build up their character's arsenal and power. With each game, Nintendo has sought to reinvent this popular formula. Most of the games have taken place in the kingdom of Hyrule, but others have taken place in new and often strange worlds. The common factor in all of them, however, is the heroic but silent protagonist. What is his name?
What is the name of this adventurer?
Naughty Dog had already become one of Sony's must trusted development teams before they released the first "Uncharted," but that franchise has become one of the studio's most respected works. It follows an Indiana Jones-like adventurer who chases after hidden cities and long-lost treasures. Each game has seen him venture to different exotic locations and face off against a multitude of goons and villains that would seek to use power or treasure in negative ways. "Uncharted 4" saw this character's story come to an end, though a smaller spin-off title was released shortly after. What is the name of this adventurer?
Who is this bounty hunter/racer?
Nintendo has a lot of franchises. However, there are several that have continued to thrive over the years while others haven't seen a new entry in over a decade. "F-Zero" is one of the latter. The first game was released for the Super Nintendo in 1990 and was a much more intense and faster-paced alternative to "Super Mario Kart." In this futuristic setting, racers used hover cars and glided along dangerously constructed courses with nothing but their skills to stop them from sliding into walls or off the track if there weren't any. The series hasn't been seen since the GameCube, but the main racer still shows up in every "Super Smash Bros." game. What is his name?
Who is the poster child for "Overwatch?"
Blizzard's "Overwatch" is a first-person shooter unlike most. Each playable character comes with their own skill set, weapons, and personalities, giving them each a distinct feel. Players can choose from three classes (tanks, damage, or support) and go up against other players in team-based missions. Blizzard will periodically update the game with different modes, stages, or new heroes to choose from. But this character is one who has been there from the start. She can be found in the damage category and has the ability to teleport forward or move backwards in time to earn back health. What is this character's name?
What is the name of this monkey?
In 1981, years before their first console would be unveiled, Nintendo released the arcade game "Donkey Kong." It is now considered a classic and saw their mascot Mario make his debut. A simple yet beloved game, it would go on to be spun-off into its own series of platformers. With "Donkey Kong Country" on the Super Nintendo, players were introduced to Donkey's sidekick, this energetic chimp. He's since been playable in every other "Donkey Kong" game and even stepped into the main role for "Donkey Kong Country 2." He can also be found in a variety of spin-offs, including "Mario Kart" and "Super Smash Bros." What is his name?
Who is the God of War?
There are video game characters who have anger issues and then there is the God of War. The first game in the series premiered on the PlayStation 2 and followed a spartan commander who sought vengeance on Ares, the original God of War, for tricking him into taking the lives of his wife and child. This rage would eventually spread to the entire pantheon. The latest game in the series was released in 2018 to high acclaim, taking home multiple Game of the Year awards. With all the Greek Gods gone, this anti-hero had moved into the world of Norse Mythology. What is his name?
What is the name of the hero from "Kingdom Hearts?"
Even to those who don't like it, "Kingdom Hearts" must be admired for being able to bring together the worlds of "Final Fantasy" and Disney. Each game follows this boy as he teams up with Goofy and Donald, journeying through the worlds of popular Disney movies while combating the villainous beings known as the Heartless. Some of the movie worlds that have been featured are from "The Little Mermaid," "Hercules," "Alice In Wonderland," "Toy Story," and "Monsters, Inc." There have been many handheld titles, but the main series went 14 years between the second and third game. Who is the hero of "Kingdom Hearts"?
What is the name of this "Castlevania" hero?
The joy that the "Castlevania" series gives players is a simple one. It lets them journey into a world filled with classic monsters and slay them with a variety of weapons and power-ups. The first game was released for the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1986 and followed this hero as he entered Dracula's mansion to hunt the vampire down. He's been seen in a number of sequels while others have focused on various members of his family. In 2018, he was added to the "Super Smash Bros. Ultimate" roster to the delight of many fans. What is this hero's name?
Who is the main villain from the "Zelda" series?
Link has had to go up against all manner of dastardly and dangerous creatures over the years. However, while several games have seen him face off against different villains, the majority have focused on this one. In the first game, he was simply a villainous pig-like monster that desired the Triforce to take over Hyrule. Later games have given him a bit more depth, making him a man and a thief that can transform into this beast. This version was memorably seen as the final boss fight in "Ocarina of Time" where Link had to get behind him in order to find the weak spot, his tail. Who is the main villain of the "Zelda" series?
What is the name of this bounty hunter?
It isn't often that a title will be released that goes on to inspire an entire genre of games, but Nintendo's "Metroid" was something special when it was released in 1986. The genre known as 'Metroidvania,' which features open-ended platforming seen in this franchise and "Castlevania," is booming in the current indie game market. Players controlled this bounty hunter as she explored various dangerous planets, slaying monsters and space pirates with a variety of upgradeable weapons. Her series has mostly evolved for the better, with her stellar jump to 3D in "Metroid Prime" being a definite highlight. Who do players control in the "Metroid" games?
Who is this character from "Grand Theft Auto V?"
"Grand Theft Auto" is a series that has become exceedingly comfortable with letting players control morally questionable characters. The fifth and most recent entry in the main series, which was released in 2013, let gamers play as three different protagonists. And this one was definitely the most wild. Of the three, he's also the one with the most issues as his volatility breaks out in any stressful situation. "Grand Theft Auto V" focuses on the stories of the three protagonists as their stories are intertwined with the massive amount of crime that takes place in their city, Los Santos. What is the name of this character?
Who is the poster child for "Street Fighter?"
The original "Street Fighter" is best remembered simply for being the first in the series. But the second entry is best remembered for being one of the best fighting games of all time. That game brought in a ton of exciting new characters, but this hero returned from the first. He's been seen in every entry and, much like Scorpion for "Mortal Kombat," he's become the poster child for the entire series. His signature move is the Hadouken, an energy burst he shoots from his hands. He can also be found in the "Super Smash Bros." series. What is his name?
Who is this adorable hero?
If there's one thing Nintendo injects into most of their games, it's cuteness. This adorable hero is actually one of their oldest as his first adventure was released on the original Game Boy in 1992. He stars in a series of platforming games where he can puff up and float, helping him to navigate each level. He also has the ability to eat his enemies and take their abilities, which offers a great deal of variety in terms of combat. His latest adventure was released in 2018 for the Nintendo Switch and he's been a playable fighter in every "Super Smash Bros." game. What is his name?
What is this bandicoot's name?
While everyone was still arguing over whether Sonic or Mario was the king of platformers, relatively new studio Naughty Dog was creating their own platforming star for Sony's first PlayStation. Along with "Super Mario 64," this character's first adventure showed how to create a 3D platformer just right with fantastic environments and a great difficulty curve. This hero helped build Naughty Dog into what it is today and their original trilogy of games was recently given an HD remastered collection across various platforms. Naughty Dog's racing game starring characters from this series will also be getting a remaster later this year. What is this bandicoot's name?
What is the name of this Raccoon City officer?
Remaking classic games can sometimes be seen as a cash grab, but there's no denying that some games definitely benefit from it. "Resident Evil 2" was remastered earlier this year and was released to high acclaim among fans and critics alike. This story focused on two Raccoon City officers as their city was swarmed with zombies. However, as they are separated early on, players had two different storylines to play through. This particular hero would also appear as the protagonist of the fourth entry, which took place in Spain and is often regarded as one of the best in the series. What is his name?
Who is the protagonist of "Devil May Cry?"
There are certain types of games that lend themselves well to over-the-top stories, ridiculous dialogue, and massive amounts of flare. "Devil May Cry," which focuses on a demon-slaying swordsman/gunslinger and is essentially an anime in video game form, is one of them. As one of Capcom's premiere franchises, the first hack-and-slash adventure was released on PlayStation 2 in 2001. And, despite a few hiccups, the series has kept going with "Devil May Cry V" having been released earlier this year. The series offers addictive gameplay as various heroes use their different weapons and abilities to fight through hordes of demonic monsters. Who is the main character of this series?
Who does Joel protect in "The Last of Us?"
In "The Last of Us," players control Joel, an understandably cranky guy who lost everything when the zombie virus first broke out 20 years before the main story takes place. But when he meets a girl who is somehow immune to the virus and is tasked with getting her to people who can study her and hopefully create a cure, he begins to care for someone again. "The Last of Us" is intense and heartbreaking, and Joel's relationship with this character is the soul at the center. A sequel is currently in development which will let players control this character instead of Joel. What is her name?
What is the name of this dragon?
When one thinks of dragons, they probably envision giant beasts that could easily tear through walls. But the charm of this PlayStation classic comes the fact that the dragon hero is not what people envision.

And after becoming their savior, he would go on other adventures, stopping any villain that sought to threaten his world. Similar to "Crash Bandicoot," the original trilogy of games was recently given an HD remastered collection. What is the name of this dragon?
Who is this leader from "Gears of War"?
In the mid-2000s, gritty shooters were becoming increasingly popular. So much so that several franchises were changed to be part of that trend. One that was able to stand out in the crowd was "Gears of War," a third-person shooter that followed a group of marines that had to fight off giant bug-monsters that had laid dormant beneath their planet. The title was praised for its gameplay, which included a cover system that would be implemented into many games afterwards. It has received a number of sequels that have brought in new characters, but who is this leader who has been there since the first?
Who is Nathan Drake's father figure?
The "Uncharted" series contains a host of interestingly flawed characters that players have watched grow over the franchise. Other than Nathan and Elena, a character who has appeared in every entry is Nathan's surrogate father. The third game showed that they've been working together since Nathan was fairly young. He took the young adventurer under his wing and taught him everything he knew. A self-proclaimed bachelor, he finds a son in Nathan Drake and brings more depth to the hero through each adventure. Despite his age, he's proven he's always game to venture into a lost city in search of glory. What is his name?
What is the name of Jak's sidekick?
After proving themselves with the "Crash Bandicoot" games, Naughty Dog created another action platformer series with a heavier emphasis on the action. The first game in this series was released for the PlayStation 2 in 2001. The main hero is Jak, but his animal sidekick was once not an animal at all. He was the same humanoid species as Jak but was transformed after coming into contact with dark eco, a type of energy that would be explored further in the game.

One of the new characters brought in with "Street Fighter II," and the first female character to be introduced in a fighting game franchise, was this warrior.

There are many entries in the "Zelda" series that are beloved, but it's rare for a game to still be considered the best ever made over 20 years after its release. "Ocarina of Time" has this legacy and one of the aspects that made it so monumental when it was released was the targeting system it implemented when fighting enemies or focusing on a character. Nintendo introduced a character to act as the targeting system, a little fairy that could tell Link about various enemies or call attention to something helpful.
