Fans have noted the resemblance between Ness and Ninten in the past. Because of their similar appearances many fans consider them to be the same characters, although recent evidence points towards them being different. Even though Ninten and Ness share many similarities, they have several differing qualities, mainly being visible in their official clay models. The brim of Ninten's cap is pointed to the left of his head, whereas Ness's points to the right, although Ness's brim is directed backwards in his American clay model, being slightly pointed to the left. Ninten's forelocks have a more spiky look, while Ness's are more rounded, although his American model has been altered to be more spiky-looking. While Ninten has red socks and blue shoes, Ness instead wears white socks and red shoes. Ness additionally carries around a backpack, whereas Ninten does not. It appears Ness's resemblance to [[Ninten]] was left as ambiguous by [[Shigesato Itoi]] intentionally as he intended for players to decide if they're the same character or different<ref>[http://yomuka.wordpress.com/2009/04/30/famitsu-06191992/ Weekly Famitsu – June 19, 1992]</ref>, he seems to have even ''suggested'' for players to think of them as the same. | Fans have noted the resemblance between Ness and Ninten in the past.
