Franchise voting has been strong for Nintendo, but we're not sure just
how far it will extend. Also, keep in mind that Mario World didn't
exactly wow us in its match, and the earlier Mario titles were up
against games that may as well have been called Poll Option B, C, and
D. I think Mario RPG still has a fight on its hands against a game that
is its complete opposite. RE2 can't be exploited in this poll, while
Mario RPG has a definite split with DKC2 and a very possible split with
Goldeneye. Also also, RE2 is definitely a stronger entrant than the first RE, which was unfairly blasted with double SFF in 2004. Also x3, don't forget the significant upswing that the RE series has been on over the last few years! RE2 is bringing the fight tonight! --- Yoblazer: http://i44.tinypic.com/25z1non.jpg Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

Its funny. I think RE/RE2 are going to get beat in their first match,
but I have RE4 making the finals mostly at the benefit of SFF. --- --NL-- Z1mZum made me look like Toadette. And made me nominate her. |

Double SFF? If MGS can SFF RE I don't see why 007 wouldn't, that's probably not the best thing to bring up. I think the most interesting thing about tomorrow is GoldenEye's performance. Was that very surprising #7 on The List a fluke, or is GoldenEye legitimately a top [whatever] game? SMRPG should be one of the strongest second place games so far (others: FF1 and LA), and RE2 and DKC2 are clearly a step above the random Genesis fodder we've been getting on the lower rungs of matches, so it'll be very interesting to see what 007 can do. There's also implications for MGS, too; similar situations in 2004 (grah, FFVII and Ocarina should've been switched), similar positions on The List, and similar playership polls around List time. --- Mustache...and Green... http://backloggery.com/rpguy96 |

I think Goldeneye will be packing more overlap with Mario RPG. Even if
it's by a tiny bit, it will still help. All three games were released
about a year apart and about as different from each other as you can
get in terms of genre. The difference here is that two of them are
Nintendo and the third isn't. --- Yoblazer: http://i44.tinypic.com/25z1non.jpg Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

I have trouble buying RE2 is going to be all that strong. I know it was
a big game at the time, but it really has aged terribly and I kinda
doubt much of the site's younger visitors have either played it or
played it and liked it. And sure there's the popularity of 4 and the
recent release of 5, but we all saw how much Street Fighter 4 helped
out SF2. It might take second and if it does it'll be at the expense of Goldeneye truly laying an egg, but I don't see any way it wins. --- SCCs completed: Thief, Samurai, Archer, Wizard, Mediator |

RE2 > Goldeneye? Seriously? We're talking about a game whose
secondary flagship character lost to Kairi and couldn't get its main
character in pre RE4. I'm pretty confident RE strength begins with RE4.

I distinctly remember playing RE2 on my N64. And, really, given the negligible role LFF has played so far, I would not expect it to tip the balance in a 007/SMRPG match. As you said, those two are about as far apart as it gets for games falling under the Nintendo umbrella. --- Mustache...and Green... http://backloggery.com/rpguy96 |

I distinctly remember playing RE2 on my N64. It did have an N64 port, but an overwhelming majority of its sales came from the PS1 version (which came out about two years earlier). I think it's still the best selling RE game ever, even when given RE4's three big releases. --- Yoblazer: http://i44.tinypic.com/25z1non.jpg Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

After seeing the RE boost we've had in the last couple years, I'd be shocked if the best selling game in the RE series can't beat Goldeneye, which isn't really THAT strong. Except that Goldeneye really is that strong, as proven by a top 10 finish in the list. RE4, the strongest RE representation in this contest, would be a good match for Goldeneye. RE2 isn't. --- ertyu is actually a language. For example, 'dum' is ertyunese for 'godly'. - Topaz Kitsune Believe it or not, the Internet is serious business - Biolizard28 |

Goldeneye has a strength of 27.38. I mean its not like Goldeneye was some big monster last time around. And with it weakning over the last couple years (it has no reason not to), and with the major RE boost, I'd consider it a surprise if it COULD beat re2. --- http://card.mygamercard.net/geothermal/blue/Albion+Hero.png http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v410/RyanSaotome/voteps4plz.jpg |

which isn't really THAT strong. Based on what? Its top ten list appearance? Its status as in contention for the second most popular game on the N64?

Or are you trying to say Goldeneye did much last time except kill a
cult jrpg on the sega saturn and beat an old playstation platformer
that Resident Evil will likely beat this year, when Re2

Not many (any?) games were more screwed over in 2004 than RE. It was
hit with possibly its worst opponent in Round 1, and then that opponent
was blasted with SFF two rounds later. If you'll allow me to play with
old results a bit... Goldeneye got 59% on SotN. SotN got 53% on Perfect Dark. Is it really that hard to envision the original Resident Evil challenging Perfect Dark? I don't think it is. Now let's keep in mind that RE2 is a clear step above RE1 and that the series has been on an upswing for years. All things considered, I think RE2 will bring the fight tonight. I'm excited! --- Yoblazer: http://i44.tinypic.com/25z1non.jpg Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

I don't know what Goldeneye did "last time" because using anything off

increase in voters and has shifted twice or three times in the past few

flopping to RE2 I would mind. Both are terrible games that haven't aged

And that shift has shown a large spike in RE the last few years, no? Yes it has. RE is going to be a strong franchise and it's star game (RE4) could potentially be top 10 and challenge Goldeneye. Not RE2. RE2 could finish in second if SMRPG bombs (I have a feeling it will), but it won't beat Goldeneye. --- ertyu is actually a language.

RE4 brought many new fans to the series, and many of them wouldn't try out the older games then since they loved re4? RE4 is as different to the RE franchise as SM64 was to SMB. Also, RE wasn't some unknown franchise. Like you said, many people bought it and even more played it. If people didn't like the RE series but like RE4, why would they go back to the tank controls and horrible camera angles of the old games? --- Good Times, Great Memories |

Once again, it's completely assinine to think that the success of RE4
is going to retroactively apply itself to the PS1 games, and we saw a
perfect example of that in the series contest. This is also why I don't have MGS1-3 doing anything worthwhile. --- Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy. -trancer1 |
