VIDEO GAME FAMILIES

Keeping with Canada's holiday today, Family Day, here is a short list of some of the families within video games through out time. From blood relation, to families based on nothing more than love and respect. Here they are...

The Mario Brothers

(Super Mario Bros. franchise)

Have they ever given us Mario and Luigi's last name? Or is Mario's legal handle, Mario Mario? Most likely Luigi stuck in his brothers shadow. As is the case in some families.

The Lee Family

(Double Dragon)

Billy and Jimmy Lee. Or if prefer the Americanized version, Hammer and Spike. Twin brothers, who fight together, and respawn together.

The Kong Family

(Donkey Kong franchise)

We'll focus more on Donkey Kong's clan, even though everyone seems to have the same last name. First there is Cranky Kong aka Donkey Kong Sr. (DK's grandfather) and his wife Wrinkly Kong, Donkey Kong Jr (DK's father....Sr and Jr), and of course Donkey Kong himself.

The Koopa Family

(Super Mario Bros. franchise)

There would be almost no need for Mario and Luigi if not for Bowser and his crew, or Koopalings rather.

VIDEO GAME COUPLES

It's Valentine's Day, and of course, we here at Non-Geeky Nerd are joining in on the the second biggest commercialized day of the year.  It could even surpass Christmas, given that V-Day isn't really a holiday (no day off? Boo-urns). Anyway, here are a list of some of the couples from video games...

Mario and Princess Peach

Not sure they have ever been officially labeled a couple per say, but how many times can one man save a girl? Either they are in love, or Mario and Peach are doing some extra curricular activity....or at least hopefully. Come to think of it, Princess Peach may get around too much. Luigi, Toad, and others risk their well being to rescue her too, and lets not forget Bowser and originally Donkey Kong's obsession with her.

Donkey and Candy Kong

Sure, they are apes. But, Candy kind of looks like a banana peeling, ape of the night. Seriously, she's just missing an un-ashed cigarette hanging from her mouth. Okay, perhaps that's too much, but she does look like a second rate Peach. But, don't tell DK that I said that. He goes...ape-crap crazy when you bash his lady.

Squall and Rinoa

Won't lie. Tend to have to google the names of Final Fantasy characters. Can't be the only one who immediately renames them all. Rinoa and Squall make the list for being NGN's first FF couple. And you never forget your first.

Pac-Man and Ms. Pac-Man

Speaking of firsts. And we all know why Ms. Pac-Man is a keeper.

Diddy and Dixie Kong

While Donkey Kong focused more on obtaining a "human" princess and Candy, Diddy found his own little spider-monkey princess in Dixie. Not sure just how....banana's over each other they are.

Sonic The Hedgehog and Amy Rose

Can only think of two possible scenarios here. Either speed is overly accepted, or it is the one time Sonic tries to imitate a turtle in more ways than one.

Link and Zelda

Can basically say the same thing as mentioned with Mario and Princess Peach. Except Zelda seems to be a one man at a time kind of gal. Got more class. Link however is a player. See Midna in "The Legend Of Zelda: Twilight Princess".
