It's easy to lose track of those who helped the hero save the day. With that in mind, we decided to throw together a wild and whacky list of our favorite sidekicks in gaming (we did consoles too, we're sorry) to give thanks to all the loyal sidekicks who've had our backs over the years.
Check out the gallery below, and make sure and let us know who we missed in the comments field!
