yeah. you've seen my Games Brackets before - I often set up
"interesting" Nintendo v. Nintendo matches as a way to cut down on the
Nintendo. I also agree on voters having trouble caring for four months. I mean, it's been two months and I'm more than ready to wind down here. a lot of that is because the board is kinda frightening right now, but two more months added onto this would really be pushing a die-hard like me. imagine what it's like for someone who doesn't really care? --- "The idea of rallying for Solid Snake against a Tetris block is both disgusting and necessary. *goes*" -Karma Hunter |

Remeber tranny, it just got released...it hasnt even sold through a
holiday season yet, plus its bang for your buck...it also has the
benefit of being mulitplatform I also think Mass Effect will make it if the game lives up to the hype...MGS is suppose to be giving that game a huge push in terms of marketing over the holidays, akin to Gears /It all depends on how much they move over the holidays though, how many people the games reach --- Our shields cannot withstand wavedashing of this magnitude!

Melee v Link to the Past I'm fine with a match like this. These are distinctly different and strong enough that if they're going to meet up, it should be an interesting match to see what happens. Same thing with something like Chrono Trigger vs. Final Fantasy 6. But most of those others seem like they'd be really uninteresting past the first few minutes. The SFF matches we saw last time with Nintendo games doesn't inspire much confidence in those matches being very good. I can see what you're saying there about the others being debatable, though. SFF is going to be inevitable in a bracket, though. Square and Nintendo have too much of a presence here not to have it happen even with a reasonable cap placed on them. Even with that in mind, I'd like to see it limited as much as possible, just to avoid boring matches. It's a tough situation. --- "With each passing day, the world finds new and exciting ways to kill a man." |

But at the same time, splitting Square and Nintendo could lead to a lot
of boring early matches where the Squintendo entry dominates. Balance
must be made carefully. --- I got L-Blocked into a corner by Explicit Content. National Shoddy Battle League: 1-1 |

From tran's list I would drop... Zelda 1 - having already seen it, and see it lose to Mario 3, makes it less interesting to me. I'd rather a Zelda wildcard like Majora's Mask was featured in its place. or Wind Waker, which I see as a wildcard in that it would crush outside competition but likely fold at the first sign of Nintendo SFF Halo - one Halo is enough with a 64 limit IMO, and H3 has the sales and momentum and growing 360 fanbase to be the top choice. Kingdom Hearts - iffy on this... we obviously need a KH, but not sure that we need both, not after the way KHII was exposed by FF12 in that GotY poll, and considering FF12 isn't going to be making this field Pac-Man - guh... fine I guess if it gets a weak newish opponent, but we already know it folds badly in the face of anything the slightest bit old school, so don't see a real need for it Soul Calibur - didn't we come to an agreement that Link + GC/PS2/Xbox was going to make SCII the strongest of the series, since Dreamcast fans would probably support it anyways? GTA: VC - after the way it was exposed against Warcraft, for whatever reason, I think one GTA is enough, and SA seems the clear choice. Half-Life - HL2 has surpassed the original and continues to stay fresh with these new modifications and Episodes and Boxes, so even as a fan of the series I'd be fine with letting HL1 miss the cut. God of War - didn't 2 outsell and out-review the original? we need GoW represented of course, but I don't think it'll have such a huge impact that we need to see it twice. Earthbound - lose to Doom pegs the game about right, and unless it gets that VC re-release soon I don't see that changing. would like to see this replaced with something else classic-Nintendo. how about like a Punch Out, or Tecmo Bowl? Biggest snubs I'd want subbed in are Star Fox 64 and Mario Kart 64, both of which I think would deal out some serious damage to anything not named Mario 64/OoT/Melee. --- PARENTAL ADVISORY - This signature contains Explicit Content. ...because he just owned me in the Guru! |

totally forgot Mario Kart. Zelda 1 is one of the most fascinating games there is. no way do I ever want to see it dropped. tell me, how do you go on a Zelda 1 / *insert modern popular game* match? Zelda 1 / Halo? Zelda 1 / God of War 2? we have utterly no idea how it holds up to modern games, or if modern games will fall to nostalgia / classic games. Zelda 1 is the posterchild of a timeless classic that doesn't resonate as much with the modern crowd.. or so we think. Zelda 1 / FF8 -- what happens? who knows. keep it in there. FF1 is the same way. I'm cool on dropping the rest. towards the end I was trying to come up with competitive second entrants since a lot of other halfway-popular titles just wouldn't hold up against the best we have. --- "The idea of rallying for Solid Snake against a Tetris block is both disgusting and necessary. *goes*" -Karma Hunter |

indeed. SMK rocks MK64 any day. but Uniracers rocks SMK. and F-Zero GX rocks Uniracers. and F-Zero GX would get rocked by the worst incarnation of Mario Kart. --- "The idea of rallying for Solid Snake against a Tetris block is both disgusting and necessary. *goes*" -Karma Hunter |

Haha. SMK two-player was pretty kick ass back in the day. If I'm going to sit down for a quick 10 minute session, though, it's gotta be F-Zero! Which reminds me that I need to get around to playing GX sometime. --- "With each passing day, the world finds new and exciting ways to kill a man." |

Original MK is probably under MK64. Sure. SMK started it all, but MK64
brought the party game element with the 4 player and I'd say was just
more fun to play overall. --- "Opinions are like butts, little girl. Everyone's got one and nobody thinks their's stink." -Lunar 2:EB *Claims KG's Eclair, C.C. & Tear Grants* |

Yeah, Zelda 1 has a huge range and would potentially be very
interesting against new competition, but I would argue that Majora's
Mask has a huge range and would potentially be very interesting against
everything.
Aside, of course, from OoT. MM v Halo? MM v StarCraft? Goodness knows
what happens, just like Zelda 1. But then you can also say MM v FF6, MM
v Mario 1, MM v Super Mario World, and it's still goodness knows what happens. And yes, I feel extremely confident in saying MK64 would perform best in a traditional environment. It's got everything on the rest of the series... better sales, highest profile release, no hated on by some like MKDD and SC were, was THE #1 multiplayer experience early in the N64's lifetime, and most importantly, it's nostalgic for some while still remaining fairly modern and highly playable to this day. --- PARENTAL ADVISORY - This signature contains Explicit Content. ...because he just owned me in the Guru! |

I must say though, that it is one of the most satisfying games I've
ever played. When you beat one of those story missions on Very Hard,

I agree with everything but the hate part Ngamer...MK 64 has alot of
detractors, alot...I'd say SMK and MK DS are far more liked in
general...I guess it would still be the most popular though just cause
of its place on the N64 --- Our shields cannot withstand wavedashing of this magnitude! Annoying posters! I am the great wavedash! [no u cru] |

I'd vote for MK64 is we're looking for a MK representative. SMK is a
bit too old, and Double Dash has a lot of detractors for "messing" with
the gameplay. DS would be the next best choice, but I'd go with 64. --- CB6 - 450/768; Oracle - 29th Extend congraturation to Applesauce Sign for win of contest GURU 2k7. |

Majora's Mask -should- just kick ass and take names, but the second it
ran into another big Zelda it'd probably fold. Which would be a
traveshemockery of justice, as it should triple any Zelda it faced with
ease. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? SC2k6 (190/240) 99.4958 Percentile |

I can't stand MK64, personally. it ruined SMK in some weird way, and I
can't quite figure out why. MK was never the same after SMK, though I
did like the limited amount of MKDS that I played. Majora's Mask would do fine. I mean, WW is "hated", yet it did pretty darn good. I agree that it has potential. but so does Zelda 1, and Zelda 1 is one of three NES titles that are actually worth seeing. the 64 has more than that, seeing as our main demographic probably grew up with the 64. --- "The idea of rallying for Solid Snake against a Tetris block is both disgusting and necessary. *goes*" -Karma Hunter |
