Implies also current relevancy, which everyone saying "Lara Croft" is willfully ignoring.Is Peach all that popular? She may be well known but I don't know many people that really like her. To me "popular" implies both well known and well liked.
Why would kids even be playing modern Tomb Raider? It's full of murder lmao.Implies also current relevancy, which everyone saying "Lara Croft" is willfully ignoring.
Most kids don't even know a game called "Tomb Raider", less so about the protagonist.
At least Peach apparead on a popular well-sold game released this year, even if she isn't that liked Daisy is better!
GTA too and "at least" kids play that one :vWhy would kids even be playing modern Tomb Raider? It's full of murder lmao.
This right here. But Nintendo don't five a fuck about her now. Wow first it used to be Mario ,Metroid and Zelda. The triforce, i wonder what happened. hmm
Listen, I think Lara Croft is the most the most popular female character in gaming, however I don't think it's far-fetched to think Peach as a close second due to how mainstream Mario(especially Kart) as a whole is and this character also has some great merchandise game too.Lara Croft, no contest. Or they will call her Tomb Raider.
Those saying Peach are somewhat out of touch with the gaming community at large.

So she is the most popular female character in gaming and has been around for 35 years, but she has less games of her own than Tingle?She's present in almost every Mario game and present in pretty much every spinoff. Her only "solo" game is Super Princess Peach though she's been playable in stuff like SMB2 and 3D World in terms of the main series titles.

You're high if you think non-gamers know Chin Li's name. Most probably recognize her but no name recognition.Lara Croft and Chun Li to me, no contest.
Almost all normal non-gamer people I know don't remember Peach's name, they think Zelda is actually Link's name, and they don't even know Samus is a girl, they don't even know Samus actually lol
But they sure as hell know "Lara Croft from Tomb Raider" and "Chun Li from Street Fighter".
lol this is PEAK era bubble.In 2020 I think it's Aloy. It would've been Ellie last year but now the character is divisive.
CD games started with Legend in 2006.Going with Lara Croft: games, movies and comics. I even remember seeing a Tomb Raider comic in a Paris shop back in early 2000s.
Edit: Wiki says the comics ran for years before they got canned. Then they got rebooted again in 2014 when the Crystal Dynamics games got started.
One of these, for sure.Princess Peach is probably the most instantly recognizable but I think an argument can be made for:
Lara Croft
Princess Zelda
Samus Aran (Maybe?)
Chun-Li
Original Lara Croft by far the most well known. In the 90s/early 2000s she was everywhere and that legacy remains today. I doubt anyone would recognise the new Lara since it a very generic action girl design.
I think it's still Lara, but her popularity fades. The newer games were not too great or memorable and the latest movie was unsuccessful. The fact that they've changed her iconic appearance and weapons of choice (now Lara prefers a bow, I guess?) doesn't help.
Metroid is my favorite IP of all time by quite the margin and I love the series passionately.
