arms glitch in the system
kicking off our list is the mysterious
amnesia stricken mining robot recruited
by rebels during their struggle against
the evil mill bots on ironstar a
fast-paced and compelling third-person
shooter by swinging ape Studios now
owned by Blizzard Entertainment we
continue to hope that glitch will one
day make his return don’t let his
childish facade fool you
he’s the most hardcore combat robot this
side of the Autobots number 9 Alex Kidd
Alex Kidd series before Sonic the
Hedgehog Sega had Alex as their
unofficial mascot a kid with monkey-like
features he wore a red and yellow
jumpsuit and featured oversized hands
with the power to shatter rocks with his
fists he journeyed through miracle land
in order to save his brother
unlike Sega’s blue speed demon Alex was
all about the puzzles strategic block
smashing and pure difficulty
number eight Kouros wizards and warriors
this is the night many recognizes Fabio
back when game covers featured male
models the hero of an entire fantasy
adventure trilogy he is a warrior out to
defeat the evil wizard mal kill a
warrior armed with the legendary bright
sword he has the power to slay demons
and defeat evil in today’s world of
large and detailed HD gaming
environments Krause would be right at
home
number 7 Pocky and rocky the Pocky and
rocky series this young female warrior
and raccoon are Natsumi mascots that
haven’t been seen in ages
heroes of this arcade side-scrolling
shooter with a distinctly anime style
they quest to save the land from a
mysterious figure who has taken control
of all the lands goblins it’s a shame
that Natsume hasn’t followed up on the
addictive and Atmospheric series as we
would love to see Pocky and rocky
personalities and friendship fleshed out
in a modern do-over number 6 going on
the goemon series this cheerful warrior
is a sort of mythical Japanese Robin
Hood with ninja power this Konami mascot
with his blue hair and giant robot suit
used to dazzle North American audiences
with his many antics a versatile
forecourt romped boy maan does
everything other mascots do
but with charm humor and a laugh track
today the unusual hero remains a
Japanese exclusive with his last
appearance being in 1999’s Roy Mons
great adventure
number five gex from the gex series hey
speaking of Secrets you want to see my
gags quit clowning around get me out of
here
this anthropomorphic gecko with a TV
addiction was transported to the media
dimension when he swallowed a
transmitter which he mistook for a fly
the unique mascot of Crystal Dynamics
he’s a couch potato who is best known
for his wisecracking remarks and love of
pop culture references hey I feel like
I’m trapped in Boy George’s pants with
consoles taken over by first-person
shooters it would be great to have this
joke from back on his own platform
number four earthworm jim the earthworm
jim series the star of his own run and
gun platforming series Jim is an
earthworm in a super spacesuit that
allows him to fight evil a gaming icon
from the SNES era he hasn’t been seen
since 1999 after appearing in earthworm
jim 3d we’d love to take jim on another
bizarre quest to rescue princess
what’s-her-name seriously that’s her
name number three Mega Man the Mega Man
series this Capcom mascot isn’t
forgotten per se but his indefinite need
of a comeback a character that once
appeared in countless games
Capcom overdid it in a big way Mega Man
X was an awesome change but then he lost
the attention of the mainstream when
portables got bogged down in battle
Network Mega Man Zero Mega Man star
forms and Mega Man ZX what Mega Man
needs is a modern reboot and a proper
introduction to today’s gamers seriously
there hasn’t been a fresh 3d attempt
since 2000s Mega Man Legends 2 number 2
the Battletoads Battletoads we realised
that rare street fighting toads were a
ripoff of the Teenage Mutant Ninja
Turtles but we don’t really care
appearing in five games these amble
fisted amphibians ramped up the sides
growing difficulty and provided some
rather memorable gameplay with the
various weapons and vehicles available
to you as we progress shockingly
despite their popularity rash zits and
pimple haven’t been seen since 1994
number one conquer the squirrel Conker’s
Bad Fur Day taking the top spot on our
list is rare squirrel who was initially
intended to appeal to children with his
appearances in Diddy Kong Racing and
conquers pocket tails however he became
a legend for his outrageously m-rated
adventure on the n64 later rejigged for
the xbox I am the great mighty oh and
I’m going to throw my shit at you greedy
alcoholic meaning foul-mouthed it’s a
crime that this misleadingly cute little
nut bar hasn’t been given an entire
series yet
I’m gonna me time to give her a bang
about ok listen what I call pumpkin
