Well, Mr. Game and Watch was before Donkey Kong, however Donkey Kong was one of the first very notable Nintendo characters. Mr. Game and Watch was an early character, but he was really more of a player representation than a full on character, as he did not really have any personality or motive. However, Wild West gunslinger was likely the first (very notable or non) Nintendo character, appearing in 1974 before the 1980 release of the Game and Watch.
