Here's a few I thought would make good additions to the list.

Nintendo characters:
 * Wart (from Super Mario Bros. 2)
 * Nester (the early Nintendo mascot)

Third party characters:
 * Crono (from Chrono Trigger)
 * Spyro (from the Spyro games)
 * Lara Croft (from the Tomb Raider series)
 * Olaf (from The Lost Vikings)
 * Earthworm Jim (from Earthworm Jim)
 * Gex (from Gex: Enter the Gecko)
 * Crash Bandicoot (from the Crash Bandicoot games)
 * Pac-Man (from the Pac-Man games)
 * Joanna Dark (from Perfect Dark)
 * Turok (from the Turok games)
 * Guile (from Street Fighter II)
 * M. Bison (from Street Fighter II)
 * Rush (from the Mega Man games)

Not sure if these qualify:
 * Fara Phoenix (her only video game appearance was canceled)
 * Dash Rendar (a Star Wars character created specifically for Shadows of the Empire)
