Saying Mac should have Nintendo trends is like saying Bushido Blade should have Square trends.

Or something. Maybe there's a better analogy here to be had but you get the point. Nintendo in name only, really.

and yeah I expect DK to be better in the Power Hour. there's a reason, that as we get closer to the night vote, we get Punch-Out doing better and better.

M_e_g_a_6_4 | Posted 4/6/2009 10:02:21 PM | message detail
Hahaha, one-vote cut.

I hope you all realize this isn't really a battle of which game is better, but rather which game sucks less. Cuts and lead switches are happening because one of them drops more than the other gaining votes. Both games are still fodderific, especially with Tetris breaking 50%, and I have a feeling we're gonna see some wonderful blowouts in the near future.

One last comment before I leave:

The best part about this match is that Punch-Out had almost no good arguments. And DK still wasn't the favorite...because he's DK.

DK always does well with the night vote and the dead zone. I expect he'll do better as the night drags on, if Little Mac having Megaman trends is any indication. After the dead zone DK sort of just ignores all the times that define other trends and steadily gets worse for the rest of the poll.

Punch-Out has fans, however few, and DK loses the apathy vote to Tetris. tl/dr version as those hip kids say. Better than any argument I've seen for DK aside from maybe NGamer's "look at how Super Punch Out did on this poll"

Yeah, nobody cares about the original Donkey Kong. I bet Donkey Kong the character gets most of his support from Donkey Kong Country, and that still doesn't amount to much.

Oregon Trail is an unproven entry and we have no idea how it will go. However, the closest entrant I know of to it is Carmen Sandiego, and that doesn't give me much confidence.

DK being so close to Punch-Out makes me fear for Oregon Trail tomorrow; on the other hand, Tetris doing so well is a good sign that MM2 can SFF Pac-Man into oblivion.

Pac-Man's actually got a decent reputation of beating or coming close to opponents it shouldn't, so I wouldn't count it out.

However, Pac-Man might not get squashed worse than Donkey Kong simply because I think more people respect Pac-Man the actual game. I really don't think Donkey Kong has a significant amount of fans at all. But I do think Mega Man 2 has more squashing power than Tetris, too. Should be a good one.

Ok, I'll give OT this: People may have played it more than Pac-Man since it was on a computer. I know I did, even though I blew at it to save my life. But still, does that make it more popular?!

I'd be very confident that the shared fanbase (people who have played both) favors Oregon Trail over Pac-Man. The question is whether MM2 can stomp on Pac-Man's recognizability votes enough.

Oregon Trail was big time at schools back in the day. I'd wager its playrate is in the same league as Pac-Man. Although on this site, being a gaming site, Pac-Man has it beat.

I don't think so. I think Pac-Man is pretty much pigeonholed to that age range +5 on either side or so. Are you telling me kids still play Pac-Man? I don't believe it.
