| And
smitelf, some just knew about the contest now (by not even bothering to
read the front page), and thus would follow the board link CJay
graciously provided at the bottom of every poll after voting completely
ignorant of what's been discussed this past month... XD Yes, but I still fail to see the point of whining about the absence of GTA and FFVIII when the contest has already started. They could at least have some official topic where they all go to whine instead of having a half dozen every day. --- "Your fate is sealed, and none but yours." -- Auron Proud Supporter of Starcraft in the Spring 2004 Contest Current Score: 3/3 |

the format is the title screen plus the main character (although we

| The reason why Final Fantasy is winning: 8-Bit Theatre. Ummm...no. This is totally not true. The original Final Fantasy would've PWNed Pitfall if 8BT had never existed. Due to the franchise keeping its memory alive, Final Fantasy has aged well. Pitfall, as mentioned before, was a completely trivial opponent. There was never much chance of Pitfall getting 20% here, as I mentioned before. I've heard this 8BT factor mentioned elsewhere, and myself thought it up as a joke before I ever heard someone else say it; and I can assure you that it is not the case. Final Fantasy was a standout NES game, and due to the RPG bias on this site was bound to be a strong force here. don't mean this in an elitist way, but really, I've seen a dozen topics asking things like "how does this contest work?" I actually don't blame people for that at all. I myself wasn't around for the nominations, and wasn't sure how they worked at first. And Ceej's FAQs is long gone; and even when it was around it wasn't stickied or overly visible. Everything is easy to miss in the maelstrom of topics on these boards. If there was some "how this contest works" page on the main page, you'd probably see a lot less confusion. And even that might not solve everything...you have to understand, I visited this site every day for over a week before even realizing there was a Spring Contest. I just don't read Ceej's site news, and neither do most people. Makes me long for the days of SC2K3. At least the fanboyish picks were less abundant back then. Now all we see is Halo, Starcraft, Vice City winning it all. ...and this is different from the Vercetti and Master Chief picks how? I honestly don't see much of a difference between the boards now, and the boards for the Summer Contest last year. Or in the makeup of the brackets, from what we've seen. Certain entrants just tend to attract people who are more "loyal" to them in terms of putting the far in their brackets. And we haven't seen enough, because the freakin' contest stats still aren't up. How long did it take for them to go up last year? CJayC seriously needs to stop fooling around with his Mario Plumber's plush with detachable plunger and put the stats up ASAP. --- Remember to nominate Frog from Chrono Trigger for Summer Contest 2K4!

| *** COMPARISONS GAME - Match #5 - (6) DONKEY KONG vs. (11) DUCK HUNT *** Sales This is a no contest here. Duck Hunt dominates every single game in this tournament as far as sales go. It was packed with the NES and SMB1... and I can't figure why one who has a free game in his/her cartridge wouldn't at least try it. DK was, well, an Atari title... and these never fare too well. - Advantage DUCK HUNT. Franchises And that's where Donkey Kong's legendary status kicks in. DKC1 and DKC2 are widely thought of as some of the best platformers of all time. Whether this could spread over to the old one or not is unknown, but that's still a form of support Duck Hunt can't rely on. - Advantage DK. GameFAQs Status Number of FAQs - Duck Hunt Number of reviews - Duck Hunt Average review score - DK Board activity - Duck Hunt Is Duck Hunt winning here due to being so widespread? DK still beats in the review scores, but even the Duck Hunt reviews that give it a bad score have some nice words for it. Uncommon thing in the harsh universe we know as GameFAQs. - Advantage DUCK HUNT. Board Odds Project PICKS (out of 102) Donkey Kong - 71 Duck Hunt - 31 POINT VALUE 29. Donkey Kong - 71 40. Duck Hunt - 33 Well, DK is the huge favorite here... still, many who picked it are unsure of it, admitting it could go either way. - Advantage DONKEY KONG. Summer Contests / Polls of the Day Never seen either game in a PotD... and DK, while unimpressive in Summer Contests, can still hold is own against weaker opponents. Still, DK's fame isn't based on the Atari game alone, and without any numbers to back a choice up, that's what makes this match a toss-up. - UNAVAILABLE. Intangibles As I said, Donkey Kong is not very appreciated here, but then again, legends rarely do. Meanwhile, Duck Hunt not only got the chance to be played more than any other game short of SMB1 or Tetris, it also got BIG nostalgia factor. It was one of the only NES games (or maybe even the only one?) to use the Zapper, and more importantly... you know I'm going to say it... you see it coming... it's coming close... there it is... THE DOG!!! While back then it may have been an annoyance, in 2004 it can be more seen as fond youth memories for those of us who got to play it. Don't forget the nostalgia factor... it's what this division is all about. - Advantage DUCK HUNT. Conclusion: In short, it's PS/Contra pushed to the extreme. Even more franchise power vs. even more nostalgia factor and even more sales. But it's not FF/Zelda-franchise power either, and Duck Hunt, unlike Contra, isn't facing an RPG... this should be easy for Duck Hunt, right? Right? WRONG! The younger people here never owned a NES, never got the chance to play Duck Hunt and will recognize DK. Okay, so it's Cranky who stars in that game, but they don't know it. And if the youngsters don't recognize you... you'll go the way of the dodo. These youngsters gave PS a fighting chance against Contra, but their contribution was massively overestimated. Then today they're throwing their weight in a totally unanticipated slaughter of Pitfall, making people start to debate SMB3/FF1. The franchise vote is really unpredictable... and it, along with Duck Hunt being so widely played, will be the key to this match. I'll be making Zelda/Adventure later tonight, so stay tuned. --- SpC2K4 Status --- Points: 002/003 --- Matches: 02/03 --- Rank: ?????/????? --- Today's pick: FF1 |

| Duck
Hunt vs. Donkey Kong: somewhat unpredictable. Whichever game wins, will
probably do so easily. Donkey Kong's victory is more likely than Duck
Hunt's, but either could win with 60+% of the vote. While his performance in 2002 was regarded as very poor, Donkey Kong did OK in 2003 and was probably hurt by Same Fanbase Factor in 2002 when getting creamed by Jumpman himself. So Donkey Kong the character does have appeal. Donkey Kong the game though is probably much less than the character, since the character has had multiple other significant gaming efforts in recent years. As expected, the pre-NES era games have fared very poorly so far, and Donkey Kong falls into that category. That's the main reason why I think Duck Hunt has a shot to win easily here. But Duck Hunt is, well, a rather silly thing. Donkey Kong is clearly the greater classic gaming-wise, and should be the favorite. Then today they're throwing their weight in a totally unanticipated slaughter of Pitfall Whoah, hold on there! This isn't unanticipated at all. In the Oracle topic the consensus appeared to be Final Fantasy with about 81%-85%. 87.5% isn't that much higher, and shouldn't be that surprising to the average guy who picked it with 80+% to begin with. making people start to debate SMB3/FF1 If by "people" you mean me, and by "debate" you mean babble on about, then yeah ;) But I had this match marked for a while now. Both games performed more or less as expected by the Oracle predictors though, so not much has changed. Maybe Final Fantasy's performance moves the conesnsus prediction for its % against SMB3 up a couple percentage points. But I don't think anyone is going to give it a real shot at beating SMB3. ...until it's too late! --- Remember to nominate Frog from Chrono Trigger for Summer Contest 2K4! SC2K4.com |

| The NES Zapper's Skid Row, i.e. Zapper compatible games (shamelessly stolen from the Zapper FAQ): Adventures of Bayou Billy (optional) Baby Boomer (optional) Barker Bill's Trick Shooting Chiller (optional) Duck Hunt Freedom Force Gotcha Gumshoe Hogan's Alley Laser Invasion Lone Ranger (optional) Mechanized Attack Operation Wolf (optional) Shooting Range (optional) To The Earth Track & Field 2 (optional) Wild Gunman Of the above, the only games from the list that I remember ever talking about with other people are Bayou Billy, Duck Hunt, Hogan's Alley, and Gumshoe. The Zapper was optional for Bayou Billy, no one seems to remember Hogan's Alley anymore, and Gumshoe is just plain weird (if I remember correctly, you shot this short Japanese man, which, if timed right, makes said short Japanese man jump over enemies on the screen). Duck Hunt may not be the only Zapper game, but it's probably the only one worth note, simply due to it being packaged with the NES. |

| Match #3 Review: To be quite honest, there isn't a whole lot to be said here that hasn't been said so already. The only thing that surprised me about this match was the margin of victory: Contra managed to get a full 60% against Phantasy Star, which is probably more than what most people bargained for, myself included. Contra's strong showing indicates that Phantasy Star's strength was rather overrated for this match. Saying anything else would just be spewing out the same stuff that everybody's uttered a million times. Match #5 Preview: Lots of people think that Duck Hunt can pull the upset in this match. My comment to that is: "No freakin' way." Donkey Kong has name recognition, classic status, Mario, and the support of all of Mario's fans. What the hell does Duck Hunt have? A dog that laughs at you every time you miss a shot? Meh. I don't think anybody can honestly say that Duck Hunt captivated them for more than twenty minutes. As far as I'm concerned, it's the CATS of this contest. Now, I'm not saying that Donkey Kong's showing will be particularly strong. In fact, it'll probably struggle to get over 60%. However, a win is still a win, and I can't believe that people are doubting Donkey Kong's ability to take this match. --- "Thank you, Mario.

cyko's Point of View Match 5 Preview (6) Donkey Kong vs. (11) Duck Hunt honestly, i can't believe this many people on the board are standing behind Duck Hunt. Duck Hunt may have been the first light gun game ever, put that puts it closer to Pong's category than DK's category. it's remembered more simply for being the first of it's genre than anyone thinking it's the greatest game of it's genre. that, and being packaged with the NES. Donkey Kong, on the other hand, has left behind a legacy. unlike Pac-Man, he's still appearing in high quality games. was the Dog from Duck Hunt playable in Super Smash Bros.? no, because it's not the Nintendo icon that DK is. he may not be the biggest icon the big "N" has, but he's much bigger than a couple of ducks and a dog. okay, i will admit that if no other Donkey Kong games had ever been released, this would be much tougher to call and probably end in Duck Hunt's favor. however, it's been pretty clear so far that big franchises influence voters. you might say, "that can't be true! otherwise, Phantasy Star would've won!" well, has it ever occurred to anyone that even though it's an RPG series, it's NOT THAT POPULAR OF A SERIES!! franchise voters do matter, especially in this first division, when not everyone has played the games in the matchups. based on that, Donkey Kong is destined to win. consider this also: most people think that DK did not perform very well in the Summer Contests. but, he did better than people give him credit for. especially last year. he managed to get 62.4% against Vyse, not an unimpressive victory. RPG characters usually represents their games pretty well (i.e. fans of an RPG character would usually support the game their character is in. except Kefka. he doesn't count.), and Donkey Kong is a character who represents his game very well, seeing how the game is named after him and all. so, does everyone who picked Duck Hunt over Donkey Kong honestly think that Duck Hunt would also beat Skies of Arcadia? highly doubtful. DK may not be a powerhouse, so he probably won't double Duck Hunt's votes. but there is no way he's weak enough to lose to Duck Hunt. Prediction: Donkey Kong with 58-61% My Bracket: Donkey Kong Personal Favorite: Donkey Kong - i wasn't that big on Donkey Kong, but that ******* dog annoyed the crap out of me. i spent more time hunting that ****** dog than i did hunting any ducks. --- Current Score: 4/4 (through FF vs. Pitfall) Tied for 1st place with ????? other users.

| Duck Hunt may have been the first light gun game ever, put that puts it closer to Pong's category than DK's category. It's not even that. The first light gun game was probably something for the Magnavox Odyssey, since that was the first system with a light gun peripheral. This just weakens the argument for Duck Hunt. I think most people think that DH will win on the piggyback effect it had being packaged with the NES system and SMB. But if I'm not mistaken, the majority of GameFAQers (who owned the NES) got theirs late in the life of the system, when it was packaged with... SMB3. --- Smart Ask!

don't know if this is going to make any difference in tomorrow's fight,
but I noticed Slowflake saying that DK was an Atari exclusive. DK was released on the NES early on, as were its two sequels.

| I can see why Duck Hunt has support in the boards (joke or not), but I cannot find a single reason to not choose Donkey Kong as the better game, all nostalgia aside. Even though Duck Hunt has sales stats over Donkey Kong, how many NES owners would truly go and buy DH had it not been packaged with SMB and the NES? If I had to choose to purchase between DK or DH, I'd go for DK in a heartbeat. For popularity's sake, DH may win, but if based on which game is the "best game ever", DK wins in my book hands down. (I noticed that I pretty much sound like a DK fanboy in the paragraphs above, since I don't put out facts against DH, but eh, that's how I'm seeing this match) --- Supporting Super Smash Brothers Melee for the 2004 Spring Contest going ALL THE WAY.

| I don't think it can prove it's not a joke here. This is like CATS vs. Max Payne. CATS??? Duck Hunt is not even remotely like CATS. It'd crush Zero Wing or CATS in a poll with at least 70%. Donkey Kong would destroy Zero Wing for the joke it is with 80+% of the vote. Duck Hunt isn't getting less than 25% against DK, and that's probably on the extreme low end for it. I don't see it getting much worse than 35%, and it could very well win with 60+%. If there are people that expect Duck Hunt to get destroyed then I definitely agree with Slowflake--Duck Hunt will easily show it's not a joke against Donkey Kong. I thought by "joke" people meant it's silly for Duck Hunt to be in a Best Game contest, but it's certainly no joke strength-wise like CATS. If people honestly think that it's going to do as bad as CATS they are completely out of their minds. CATS was a lousy entrant because it's just a fad and Zero Wing is still very obscure. EVERYONE had Duck Hunt. I mean, for real...to make a serious comparison between Duck Hunt and CATS is preposterous. The question is only answered in the second round... if the winner can't at least double (triple?) Adventure's numbers against LoZ, the whole lot of them are jokes. I highly doubt the winner can get higher than 22% against The Legend of Zelda. But The Legend of Zelda is a juggernaut, so that's hardly surprising. SMB3, The Legend of Zelda, Final Fantasy, and Tetris are heads and shoulders above everything else in this division, with Contra and maybe Pong lagging far behind them. --- Remember to nominate Frog from Chrono Trigger for Summer Contest 2K4!

has been the first truly exciting match so far, and it looks like it
should end up being one of the closest matches of the 1st round. Donkey
Kong led with 58% at about the 100 vote mark, but while the % has been
going up and down, for the most part it's been slowly dwindling away.

day. he did the last two years, so i see no reason why he won't again.
i think the final tally will be real close to a 60/40 split. --- Current Score: 4/4 (through FF vs. Pitfall) Tied for 1st place with ????? other users. A Cheese Legend of Trivia 12 |

| Slowflake,
the LUE now has you. But don`t worry, it`s alright. Just tell 'I was
expecting LUEshi'/10`D that you couldn`t please Limecat`s 73 genders
because you were arguing in a .999~ = 1 topic. Clockspider`s PICS.NOW.
will understand. I`ll name the fads: 1 - The Matrix has you 2 - It`s alright, just tell ______ you couldn`t _________ because you were _______ (Subway spinoff). 3 - LUEshi 4 - I was expecting LUEshi 5 - ________/10 6 - `D 7 - Limecat 8 - 73 Genders 9 - .999~ = 1 10 - Clockspider 11 - PICS. NOW. As for why I picked on Slowflake, he`s been using more and more LUE quotes as of late, so I assumed he was on the board a lot. --- MIASU!

| One point that hasn't been mentioned yet on this topic (probably for good reason!) is that both Donkey Kong and Duck Hunt had games in Wario Ware. So for some of the younger gamers they won't quite be as unheard of as some people might think! |

| Well, I'm not perfect anymore after today :( Match 4 Review: FF dominated, as expected. Match 6 Preview Zelda should do even better than FF. No point going into deeper analysis. I still think DH>DK, apparently a lot of people disagree with me. --- Betting: http://cgi.gamefaqs.com/boards/genmessage.asp?board=8&topic=13466422 4/5 - T1. Next: Zelda |

| Yeah,
I got the stats. With DK having just moved above the 2000 "gap of no
return," we're down to only 13 perfects! I'll post them here, but got
to run to class for the moment. --- the-elite.net Ngamer's Contest Archives: http://geocities.com/cyber1166/gamefaqs |

| 2- It`s alright, just tell ______ you couldn`t _________ because you were _______ Ulti--I believe the fad is more accurate as: Just tell __(1)__ you couldn`t ____(2)____ because you were getting stoned. __(1)__'ll understand. I think it's from a public service announcement. Oh, and if you have a perfect bracket..... I hate you.

| Meh,
looks like there's five more days until the next exciting match (SMRPG
vs. Street Fighter II). The end of Division 8 will be dull and the
first match of Division 16 is another foregone conclusion. --- Proud Supporter of Starcraft in the Sp2K4 Contest Current Score: 4/4, Next Winner: Donkey Kong |

| For
my bracket`s sake, I hope Street fighter 2 runs away with it. In
reality, I think there is a good chance this will happen, anyway. SMRPG
is a cult classic that was never even released in Europe. But hey, who
knows. --- MIASU! Boards Hunted: 3509 (Arcade - R) Married to Alanna82 on 4/5/04 at 9PM EST |

| Phediuk:
You said it, and I said it too. Duck Hunt was a joke entry and it
deserved to lose. The results vindicate us. Good bye, stupid doggy! --- Trivia XIII: Diehards Forever...SC2K4: 5/6 Points! "Dodongo dislikes smoke" |
