Hm... I dunno. He's just representative of the entire Game and Watch collection and not an actual character. He was literally just made up for Melee. In fact, I'm not sure we can even call him a character. Not over a cut-out shape infront of an LED lamp anyway haha.

I wouldn't say he's the oldest in Gaming's history. I mean he's got the entire 1970's on top of him. And Nintendo... well if you're talking about Nintendo's existence as a game company then yeah he's pretty early; but if you mean Nintendo, full stop, then no. In fact he's actually quite recent since Nintendo was founded in the late 19th Century.
