- cybortrip, on 10/12/2007, -3/+20What about Cats? All my base are belong to him.
- gabbagabbahey, on 10/12/2007, -0/+15No Inky, Blinky, Pinky and Clyde
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+13What about the ghosts in Pac-Man??
- Mr.White, on 10/12/2007, -1/+14No Kefka from FFIII (FF6 JP)? He only poisoned an entire town (the first video game genocide), upon other countless acts of pure evil.
- Namco, on 10/12/2007, -0/+12I was hoping to see Cyber Demon or Mother Brain on there but even without, it's a pretty good list. Didn't think of the Nazis as being the worst villan, but when I think about it, I completely agree.
- RUFiO006, on 10/12/2007, -3/+15The number one choice made me laugh... my favourite's gotta be Bowser, that loveable reptilian scallywag!
- mexter, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10LeChuck!!
- rockforever, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9I scrolled down slowly to keep myself guessing about the next one. When I got to Seph. I was like "Who beat him?!?", but when I saw it was the Nazi's I wasn't disappointed. A good list and I'm glad psycho mantis was on there. I still remember that fight!
- Sarge117, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9Ganon should've at least been on there. He may not deserve number one, but I think he at least deserves mention.
- SupaDawg, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8Psycho Mantis should have been higher. That was an awsome villain.
- trimsheenapple, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8Yeah Gannon/Gannondorf should be there. I still have nightmares about him jumping out of them pictures from OOT.
- jiub, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8I consider DK a reformed villain
- wmitchell, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7What about Dr Wiley from the Mega Man series ??
- diskopo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7You bring up a good point about Zelda. Ganon didn't make it? C'mon. He was in more games than Bowser!
- mahoneyxp, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6I for one say the top video game villian of all time is a girlfriend ;)...
- Threephaserebel, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7The number one choice is the best. It's so appropriate and yet I never even considered it. Good list, someone did their research!
- ra3ndy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6We left out Mother Brain, the Space Invaders, and Trogdor the Burninator.
And what about the original VG Villain? Paddle 2 from Pong! That bastard just kept getting better. - Determination, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6Kefka was also more effective as a villain. He reshaped, destroyed, and controlled much of the world.
- string1, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6what about Diablo? where is he?
- Grimmeh, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6Good God, IGN couldn't write a shopping list well =[
- TheCount, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5I agree, Psycho Mantis was a great villian and completely different from anything else out there. How many people thought their systems were about to blow up when wierd things started happening?
- Smokezz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Sinistar!
- mexter, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Does Murray, the Evil Demon Skull count?
- gkzhang, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5I agree, Kefka is far more Evil and easier to hate than any of those other villains.
And everytime you hear that laugh, you know something is going to happen.
I think he was definitely better crafted than Sephiroth. - celtboy, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7I've not yet been able to see the list (blocked by filter), but here is my top 10 Nintendo-based baddies:
1. Gannondorf - Zelda series
2. Bowser - Mario Brothers series
3. Dr. Wiley - Megaman series
4. G-Man - Half-Life
5. Linda - Double Dragon (a woman with a whip)
6. Shredder/Krang - TMNT series
7. Shao Kahn/Goro - Mortal Kombat
8. Dracula - Castelvania series
9. "The Wizard" - Karnov
10. Volkmire - Battletoads
Here's a link to another list of top-somethings from video games:
http://www.games.net/features/100067_1.shtml - EdwardPrise, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Like a lot of IGN lists this one kind of sucks.
Though we all know the most memorable video game villain of all time is the infamous crate that blocks our way, plagues our action games with puzzles, and probably has appeared in the most games ever made. - babylonian, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Anyone feel like justifying the downvoting? I think Sepiroth is overrated; so what? I could've sworn Digg was a haven for intellectuals, not FF fanboys.
- Silent-Bob, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4How is the G-Man from Half-Life a Nintendo based villian?
- billygreen23, on 10/12/2007, -5/+9Bowser is obviously #1. This list is terrible.
- jguy584, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6The lists that guy makes suck, he doesnt tell anything about the character, just makes up some stupid BS about them and puts them in some random order
- wilerson, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Problem is, there are way too many Sephiroth fanboys out there. I mean, I love FFVII and Aeris as much as the next guy, but Kefka was more villainous, evil and efficient than Sephiroth. And his clowness just make things worse. I mean, how can someone poison a besieged castle and laugh?
Truth is, FFVII is highly biased and people love Sephiroth because he has cool looks. - jasedit, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4I would have to agree. Sephiroth is far too much a pretty boy, and Kefka is certainly much more evil. I mean come on, poisoning a city (and laughing), destroying the world (successfully), and warping the power of three goddesses? There's not much more evil than that (and certainly not an Oedipus complex angsty fan service character).
Not to say Sephiroth wasn't good or bad, its just that Kefka >> Sephiroth. - Urusai, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4What?? The only real villain is that one bad guy in the game I forget, you know the one with the killing and wicked evil stuff in it. He was the one that was most wicked.
- Maverick83, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Nazis.
Best. Villian. Ever. - eurotransient, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Gotta love video game villains. Or any villains, really.
IGN was right to include a Final Fantasy villain. Problem is, they picked the wrong one. Kefka, from Final Fantasy VI, is clearly the most evil of them all. Sephiroth is certainly more polarizing, as a result of having killed Aeris... but overall, he just comes off so whiny. I never felt terribly threatened.
Also, can we get a little love for Ultima villains? Anyone? The Shadowlords terrified me as a child. Ultima V was the first RPG I ever played, on my Commodore 64, and anytime I showed up in a town where a Shadowlord had taken up temporary residence, I was absolutely consumed with fear for my Avatar's life. Then came the Guardian, who was certainly quite the prick (and definately a bit spooky the way he'd just show up out of nowhere with his big, muppet-like head, and start laughing at you and taunting you).
Finally, for sheer numbers and ability to frustrate, I'm going with The Flood from Halo. - tomakun, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Yeah anyone who kills espers is pure evil. The problem is that the vast majority of people have never played any FF games before FF7.
- Bishoco, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Killin' Nazis never gets old.
- PhilliesBlunt, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3No digg. Any video game villans list without Kefka is not to be taken seriously.
- Gimpace, on 10/12/2007, -3/+6I love Sonic but every single one of his games is so easy. Mario is a far superior game. Bowser should have been higher.
- Narshe, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Kefka is the best! (worst) Mwahahahaha
- mrmagos, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I agree. Kefka was far more evil than Sephiroth.
- Kazrog, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3No love for the Mother Brain? Dr. Wiley? Oh well... I guess I'm old school, didn't recognize a few on this list.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Hmmm, what about the MCP?
...y'know, tron. - jedi0utkast, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Are you an alien?
- Pogue_Mahone, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Murray was the height of villainery. I named my cat after him.
- TheGalacticFork, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2No Ganon = no Digg.
- inkswamp, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Dumb list, but the single most conniving and evil villain in all of video games, IMO, are the rampant computer systems in Bungie's Marathon series. To me, those seemed dreadfully evil and real because there was a complex and interesting story line behind it all. Without that, an opponent is just a computer puppet held up to play Bad Guy. In the Marathon series, you felt like you were personally being affronted by Durandal and Tycho. Weird stuff. I've never been affected like that by any video game, and it's too bad that most game story lines aren't as carefully developed as that in the Marathon series.
- mighty_mouth, on 10/12/2007, -6/+8My top two:
1) Purple Tentacle (from Day of the Tentacle)
2) Kane (from Command & Conquer)
I can't believe they didn't make the list!!! - astrotrain, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2
Google Video offers a two hour segment of CBS Saturday Supercade (Donkey Kong, Qbert, Frogger)...LOL
Google Video
Enter 'saturday morning cartoon' and you should see one from CBS. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Diablo.
