Tango & Cash, Lone Ranger & Tonto, Fred & Barney, Rocky & Apollo and McClane & Zeus. These duos have all written film history. But film isn't the only entertainment medium sporting famous duos.
You may not have realised it, but some of the greatest games ever made rely quite heavily on the duo dynamic. Looking back on past classics, NZGamer recount their top ten favourites (in no particular order).
VGChartz's Evan Norris: "PAX East was remarkable for a lot of reasons this year, but the appearance of a playable demo of Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake made it truly special. For approximately 30 minutes, I played through select scenes from the revamped versions of both Dragon Quest I and II, to get a grasp on what role-playing adventures await us on October 30, when the package arrives on all current-gen systems, including Switch 2."
Sandfall: "Thirty-three days ago, we released Clair Obscur: Expedition 33.
Since then, we’ve sold 3.3 million copies.
Seriously. As of today.
We couldn’t make that up.
Another entry on the long list of surreal moments that your support has made real. Thank you ALL.
Tomorrow comes.🤝"
Congratulations!
The game is a masterpiece!
*For those who will come after*
Enjoy!
Good for them! The developers are deserving to reap the rewards of a great game that is also deserving of GOTY.
Monster Train 2 is a quick to get into roguelike deck builder that plays into the tired genre’s strengths and still manages to provide a worthwhile time for those who buy into it.
What about the classic duo: Mario & Luigi.
Cripes, throw in new ones like from Uncharted and Heavenly Sword and where is perhaps Master Chief and Cortana?
How about Sub Zero and Scorpion?
The RROD and the Xbox 360
The worst gaming duo ever by the way !!!!!!!!!
Jak and Daxter?or
Ratchet and Clank?
I know that this is a bit out there, but what about Little Sisters and Big Daddies? Neither are playable but they're a gaming duo nonetheless.
Princess Peach and Bowser?
The b!tch spends more time with him than with Mario
