Mario and Link Get Their Stars On the Walk of Game
snuttepelle writes "Pong creator Nolan Bushnell and Donkey Kong maker Shigeru Miyamoto, along with gaming icons like Mario, have received the first-ever 'Walk of Game' stars for video games in San Francisco."
Not that surprising...
Sony is great and they have some original characters, but compared to Nintendo they haven't been around that long.
The first ones to go onto the "Walk" are characters, games, and persons that helped make modern gaming what it is today. Heck, any gamer (old or young) know who Mario and Link are and are at least familiar with Pong.
Sony's stuff will come in soon. Besides, if the first entries were Metal Gear's Snake and Final Fantasy, it would look like they were just patting themselves on the back instead of being true to gaming. Start with the earlier popular stuff and move on from there
