Hey guys, remember when we contemplated SMB3 with 80%?

I think we went too low.

Hey HM I went 0.29% higher than you suck it down the day is mine.

So I lost a bet to creativename (yeah...hardly shocking). Like usual, I should've known better!
FACT: Halo 3 was 1000% responsible for Master Chief's boost.

SMB can very reasonably come close to 70% here.

Makes me wonder how much SMB3 is going to get, stronger game with weaker competition.

Don't get too crazy about Mario here, guys. It's like it's facing Adventure x 3, of course it's going to look like a beast.

Let's not get carried away here -- SMB1 is blowing out a bunch of super fodder here. I mean, come on, Duck Hunt and Ninja Gaiden? One of these games lost to the original Donkey Kong 1v1!

That's it. (I think.)

Whatever SMB1 does here, I'd expect SMB3 to beat it, too. That might be an even worse pack than this.

To be fair, it seems as though this pack is easily the weakest in the division, and the second weakest in the bracket (behind SMB3's)

If Oregon Trail could break 20%, I don't see why SimCity couldn't as well.

How the hell is Duck Hunt a joke? It's one of the highest-selling games of all time -- #2 behind Tetris, if I recall? =p

Hey, back before last games contest when everyone was saying it would lose to DK because it was just a joke, I kept telling everyone it would have strength because who didn't like Duck Hunt? :) Awesome game, fun as hell.

Damn, SMB3 better put up a big showing against it's three opponents in a few matches here. I'm talking not giving three pieces of fodder more than 10% of the vote each.

I really can't see Ninja Gaiden doing any better from here on out. If anything I expected it to take the early lead. I don't see why Duck Hunt won't have the ASV either. Even 13 year olds know what Duck Hunt is. Obviously really premature, but I want to say DH already has 2nd locked.

Sure, this isn't the best competition, but 66% is nothing to be sneezed at.

There's a pretty huge difference between Mega Man 2 and Mario 3.

Vote totals should be higher on this match. A popular game like SMB should be able to draw in votes, much like how Link can do the same thing.
