That's surprising given how far apart the final result was.

And I hate calling matches early, but does Ninja Gaiden strike anyone as a game that can come back in polls? I say again, all Ninja Gaiden games have SUCKED in EVERY SINGLE POLL they have EVER been in.

Woah, there, Mario 1. Looking pretty damn good. DH's looking all right, too - NG was the guru favourite though DH is probably more loved on the board (for very small values of loved).

I wouldn't call it Ninja Gaiden coming back as much as I'd call it Duck Hunt losing its power hour steam. I just see Duck Hunt doing good the first hour ala Punch OUt. *shrug*

Oregon Trail vs. Pac-Man by region:

United States: 53.75%
Canada: 32.23%
North America: 50.96%
Europe: 8.45%
Asia: 16.85%
South America: 6.00%
Oceania: 10.59%

Without the United States, Oregon Trail might just be our weakest entrant ever.

Even if it gets Ganondorf'd, the competition just sucks that much.

NG is going to dominate overnight and especially the morning (Hayabusa did fantastically in Europe last year, something like 50% in the first round). Duck Hunt will need the ASV to do anything.

Why? A well-known Nintendo game is just as big a threat to win morning votes and after-school votes. If I recall, didn't Duck Hunt go berserk after school last time?

Duck Hunt is not going to get blown away in the ASV. This is a game that came back from 3200 votes down with it. I don't expect its ASV will be as strong as before now that it has 4 great hours of North America-dominated vote at the start, but still....and even Oregon Trail won the ASV yesterday.
