From the 1983 Nintendo to the Modern Day Switch, Nintendo has a premium grab on some iconic duos, like Mario and Luigi, but Max and Brian are digging a little deeper into some other duos that are making history. Some duos are friends from the start, some learn to bond as they make their way through life, like Joel and Ellie in the Last of Us (also airing on HBO starring Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey), and others bond over their constant bickering.
