Looks like we might follow the Fab Five from the Spring Contest from this point, so LttP at #4 is a good bet, I think.

C'mon Super Metroid. <_<

heh, today's poll rules. it's not if you've played it, but when. I'll be amazed if "never" gets more than 10%.

---

To be fair though, if SMB3 does come in tomorrow, I think I'll concede hope of SM64 making the list and thus outdoing it.

God...I hate rereading my posts. I've still got a distant prayer though, but it looks like this one's all about LoZ:LttP comin' in.

Why? He would die in your honor, then come back like Jesus...but without the religion part.

Heh, I like the format of Ceej's poll, asking simply if you've played it instead of if you've ever owned it. It'll be interesting to see how many played it on the NES first. Might tell us something about Mario 3's aging process.

Raiden: "They said you were dead."
Snake: "No, not me. There are still too many things I need to do."

Hmm...I actually got a game where I ranked it.

I'm expecting a big surprise....FF7, OOT, CT are givens. But LTTP beating SMB3 and SSBM does seem unlikely

Pokemon would have been a nice surprise game...but not this high.

Could Vice City have made it?

Or is LTTP really ahead of the others?

Or perhaps a surprise?

The original NES cartridge 73.68% 70
On the SNES, in Super Mario All-Stars 21.05% 20
On the GBA, in Super Mario Advance 4 0% 0
I can't remember which one 3.16% 3
I've never played it. Ever. 2.11% 2
TOTAL VOTES 95

ZERO'D

MM are my INITIALS "There are only 10 kinds of people in this world, those that read binary and those that don't."

I hate the "I can't remember which one" option; only a fool would forget that on a good game like SMB3. There should have been "On the computer, illegally using a rom", heh.

Using the ROM should be an option in today's poll >_>

I think the "I forgot" is for the ROM users, for legal reasons, heh.

The ROM still would have to be of a particular version....

True, but it would still clarify that it was played over a computer.

Raiden: "They said you were dead."

not to read too much into this, but I'd expect the night crew to be older and thus probably played it on the NES. I don't think the GBA version is going to get more than 5%, but the SNES version will get some votes.

I'm more interested in the "I've never played it" percentage than any of the others.

is it just me or does LTTP at #4 seem too high? I never think of it as a consensus top 5 game..

The longest I know of was the Microsoft option in the "which company made your first game console" poll.

Nominate Jay Solano from Operation Shadow for sc2k6!

Bingo. I don't agree with any game left not in the big trio taking the #4 spot, but it's hard for me to support Super Mario 64 over Super Mario Brothers 3. Then again though, it's hard for me to support LoZ:LttP bein' so close to LoZ:OoT or maybe even making the list with some of the other things we've seen.

Tomorrow should solve the tense situation, unless CT is pushed over too. That would be a sight.....
---

LttP at #4 is just high enough, I'd say. It's appropriate that it's right next to Chrono Trigger as well.
---

Considering LttP was the 4th strongest game in the Spring Contest, being the #4 doesn't really seem too high. After all, the fourth most popular game shouldn't get quadrupled (*coughMario64cough*).
---
Raiden: "They said you were dead."

if LTTP faced OOT, it'd get smashed, too.

Something tells me it wouldn't get smashed that badly though.
---
Raiden: "They said you were dead."
Snake: "No, not me. There are still too many things I need to do."

Aight then...FF7 would probably smash FF3/6 like that though. Oh, or how about Halo 2 facing Halo? There's a chance of it there, ya gotta say.....
---

Eh...Don't see FFVII quadrupling FFVI either.
---
Raiden: "They said you were dead."
Snake: "No, not me. There are still too many things I need to do."

probably not.. but that's because they're two different systems, 2d vs. 3d. it would still probably get doubled.
---

OOT "merely" tripled SM64.

---

My bad. I remember it was nigh a quadrupling at one point in the poll, however.
---
Raiden: "They said you were dead."

Alright, time for me to FINALLY go to bed...

...SMB3 VS LoZ:LttP, which game wins?
---
Serious Reminder: Nominate Jay Solano for 2k6.

I'm thinking that Vice City beat LTTP to it.
---

Max 2 lines, 160 characters total

hmm.. my brain says LTTP (as does CT), but I have this funny feeling that SMB3 would win. I'll take LTTP, I guess.

---
xyzzy

Not many haven't played SMB3. I'm thinking this is a heavy strike against those who say 8 bit just wouldn't hold up against 128 bit.

Got Mario 3 right as well. Makes a change after the first three days... I'm somewhat surprised so many people have played the NES version though. Maybe the kids haven't woken up yet.

And SMB3 > Sonic 2 > SMW. Thought I'd get that in.

Seeing Vice City or San Andreas at #4 would be really funny then :-)

SMB3! YES!!! If LttP is tomorrow, I have great chances of getting a perfect top 5!

Not really. We've always known SMB3 was THE exception, as in terms of actual quality it IS the only one that can stand up to later games.

78 people out of 86 had SMB3 somewhere in their entry in the BOP (what were the others THINKING?). It was the 5th favorite.

2 in 2nd
13 in 3rd
16 in 4th
25 in 5th <-- correct, me
9 in 6th
5 in 7th
4 in 8th
4 in 9th

With 21 votes for a total of 129 points, SMB3 is Board 8's 7th favorite game:

2 in 1st
5 in 2nd
3 in 3rd
3 in 5th
2 in 7th
3 in 8th
2 in 9th
1 in 10th

17 have challenged Nintendo in the handheld battle, 17 have failed. (see quote for list)

I've had all of the games except GoldenEye thus far, and today's my first completely-correct one. I have to miss either SM64 or LoZ:LttP though. =/

Goin' to classes now...but, if Super Mario Sunshine was to make the Game Contest next time, where would you place it in terms of contest strength?

SMS would be midcard, I reckon. It'd have serious trouble with almost anything in what was the 128 division, and nobody really cares about it compared to what would get in from earlier periods.

Soul Calibur? You telling me it'd get close to 45% on SSBM? Not even Metroid Prime could do that! Speaking of which, Prime mops the floor with SMS. Count on it.

Oh, or how about Halo 2 facing Halo? There's a chance of it there, ya gotta say.....

That would probably end up fairly close, since the halo fanbase is generally split on which game is better.

i wonder if Super mario 128 will be spectacular.
i mean we all know about it for quite a while but just what will it's impact be to gamers?
bigger or smaller than twilight princess>?
---

It will sell well, but it's going to have to be very groundbreaking to have more of an impact on gamers then then smb or sm64. I'd imagine that it well be less hated then sms though.
