Where everything is the same except Nintendo and Square Enix dont exist

Do Snake and Sonic just take over as the new Link and Cloud? Who else battles for reign?

I actually did a contest from an alternate 2002 in a world where Nintendo and Sony collaborated on the SNES-CD back in 1991.

...it still ended with Link crushing Mario in the finals, but we got ultra-controversial Sonic/Cloud and Sonic/Link matches in the quarterfinals and semifinals (ironically, Sega does better in this universe since there's no Playstation, and also Sega doesn't make a lot of the dumb mistakes they made in our timeline)

But how could everything be the same if Nintendo didn't exist? Like Atari would probably still be around because their post-crash attempts at a comeback wouldn't have been squashed by the NES, Sonic might not even exist if Sega didn't need an answer to Mario, and who knows if PlayStation would exist if it weren't originally conceived as an SNES CD add-on. There would be a Nintendo-shaped hole in video game history.

I believe its more likely just saying vote for your favorite without Nintendo characters rather than trying to imagine an alternate timeline.

At least that would certainly be easier.

Clearly, with a weaker console market, it would be the biggest PC characters who would dominate. Which would be...um...hold on, I know this...

If we just assume that Nintendo/Square characters were banned for some reason Mega Man/Sonic/Solid Snake would dominate

The next strongest character would be Ryu.

I considered that, but considered the saying is that he never wins, I figured he'd just continued to screw the pooch.

Well, yeah, now it might actually be Sans. I was trying to think of a pre-Undertale world. And assuming that Draven was a one-and-done thing.

Actually, now I'm kinda curious how a PC-only bracket would go. Not curious enough to actually run that contest, but I'd definitely follow it if someone else did.
