Ness is one of the most recognized characters in the [[EarthBound series]] to the point where he is often seen as the flagship character of the series. His appearances in the Super Smash Bros. series have considerably boosted his public image, as well as for the EarthBound series as a whole. Ness became more or less a mainstream character in gaming culture rather than a curious cult character from Nintendo's 90's days, and he has become a well-known character in Nintendo gaming. | |||
