GameSpot recently held a tournament/poll that would determine the all-time greatest sidekick in gaming history, according to voters.
"The contest to see who would take home the coveted title of All-Time Greatest Game Sidekick has drawn to a close. What started as an up-for-grabs seeding structure with 80 potential candidates was weeded down to 64 characters to fill initial brackets. And in the subsequent days, competition ran fierce and swift; 64 were cut down to 32, and 32 down to 16, and 16 down to eight. Then, some of us had lunch. Then eight went down to four. Then from four finalists, we came to the final confrontation.
And in the battle between one of the greatest scientific minds of the 20th century and a cartoon duck…
The cartoon duck won.
So, that happened."
Congratulations to Launchpad McQuack for winning the All-Time Greatest Sidekick Contest!
"Hey, I won, Mr. McD!"
