Following up on their quest to decide the greatest horse in video game history, the guys and gals of MTV Multiplayer have recently announced the greatest video game dog. And the winner is Parappa, the adorable two-dimensional hip-hop legend, and star of Parappa the Rapper.
Runner-ups include the ubiquitous zombie dogs from the Resident Evil series, the annoying dog that mocks us with his laughter from Duck Hunt, Amaterasu from Okami, and K.K. Slider from Animal Crossing (though presumably the in-game incarnate, and not that creepy real-life version). We're looking forward to seeing which animal MTV sees fit to vote on next. We're hoping for frog, a category clearly dominated by Fred from Blaster Master.

Amaterasu is a WOLF.
Amaterasu winning for best dog would be like Mufasa winning best house cat.

@Dauragon88, it's the greatest game CANINE. Wolves are definitely canines... even wolf-gods.

"Amaterasu is a WOLF."
If you want to get technical, then she isn't a wolf either. She is the Sun Goddess, taking the form of a wolf.

WHAT? The frog award should go to eithe Frogger or James Pond, those two got their own games, they weren't sub characters or anything. They were the characters.

Nice choice, but the name of the game is "Parappa the Rapper", not "Parappa the Rappa".

Heh, good point. And I was trying so hard not to make that mistake. It's already been fixed.

The frog from Frogger is an obvious choice for best video game frog.

Did you hear that Madonna is being inducted to the ROCK & ROLL Hall of Fame? I guess then it won't be long until Bethoven gets his lifetime achievement award from the NAACP awards.

I put as much weight into what MTV has to say about videogames as I do Spike TV.

i completely agree with parappa, but you went and said fred from master blaster as best frog? yes, that game is amazing (anyone who didnt play it needs to NOW) but what about, you know, Frog? He was one of the best characters in that game, much less best frog...

I've always been a fan of the purple frog from Frog Bog. Damn, I love the Intellivision!

You're all insane. Seriously, Frog (Glenn) from Chrono Trigger is definitely the best frog character... ever.
