Pac-man has secured the second place.

If Oregon can't do better than this with nothing but Americans voting, just wait for Europe to wake up.


Pretty much, but it was fun while it lasted.

Obviously this is bad for Mega Man either way, but this is garbage levels of choking. Sprite Mega Man isn't going to magically appear and beat Zelda, but it still has a shot against Tetris, I'd wager.

33.69% / 28.19%

Looks like 30% of brackets didn't know order mattered.


I wouldn't say that. That match was a big blob of old school, and I don't think Tetris winning was THAT obvious unless you really follow contests, especially since DK has more name value.

Because even though the Mega Man games are weak, Link's Awakening isn't exactly a pinnacle of strength. Not EVERY Final Fantasy/Zelda game has to be strong in a poll.


Every Zelda game minus the small-time handheld ones Nintendo has pumped out in recent years should cripple any Mega Man game. I'm actually kind of surprised you'd defend MMX > LA while blasting the MM2 > Tetris pick. We all know what any Zelda game would do to Tetris.

MM2 drops? LOL, Tetris > Oregon Trail indeed. Nice to see OT extend the lead to 33- Pac-Man is probably still the favorite here, and OT is going to be in huge amounts of pain late tonight. Then we get to see if it follows Punch-Out's pattern yesterday or Duck Hunt's.

Doesn't exactly inspire confidence, sorry. Just because it has 'Zelda' on the name doesn't make it strong. Stronger, yes, but there's a limit. That limit is when pretty much no one has played it.

If MM2 is capable of beating Tetris, then that puts Oregon Trail on par with Tetris.

Actually, let's compare how MM2/Pong is vs. Tetris/Pong. That may be the best hope MM2 has of creating an argument.

MMX is the only game that will impress out of it's franchise. There's a reason why the first game's contest didn't feature any Mega Man games. Were seeing it right here. It's up against joke competitors and it's doing horrendously.

Final Fantasy 4 is about as guaranteed a pick as you can get in this format now. MM2 is struggling against jokers. Mario 3 is going to give it a percentage somewhere between Space Invaders and Pong.

MM3 is fine, it would have to choke and die to lose to River City Ransom or Crystalis.

As far as Link's Awakening goes, I'm sure it's an amazing game and all, but it's pretty much relying entirely on its name value. As bad as Mega Man is doing, he's getting votes because people actually adore Mega Man 2 right now.

And I'm glad you found that poll, KP. Even with today in mind, there's a limit to franchise voting. Wand of Ghamelon would not beat Mega Man X. Admittedly I wish I had MMX > LA back right now, but that one is still a tossup at best.

Tetris nearly tripled Pong. At least MM2 doesn't look like it's as bad as Donkey Kong, but its path is pretty much set in stone unless it manages to go below 30% or something horrible like that.

Did Mega Man steal Donkey Kong's tie or something?

Uhhh... what? Gentlemen, Link's Awakening is a million seller. Hell, it got a GameBoy Color remake and became a million seller again. Of course it's going to get eaten in a poll with LttP, OoT, and a brand new console Zelda in Wind Waker. Was that poll seriously the main reason people picked a high-profile Zelda game to lose against a Mega Man game?
