So how much of a lead does SMW need overnight? I'm thinking about 500 I assume you mean Mario 3, since I think World takes it if it has a lead of 0. --- http://img24.imageshack.us/img24/3230/takerface.gif |

From: BlAcK TuRtLe | #035 Well yeah, but that's more because 99% of games you play will look like garbage compared to LttP. It's not the game's fault, it's just that LttP is just that damn good. --- Wylvane's current main account. |

yeah, I realized that right after I posted 500 sounds like a solid enough lead, especially with Zelda in there. --- http://img24.imageshack.us/img24/3230/takerface.gif |

No,
I didn't have a NES growing up. That just means I'm not blinded by
nostalgia goggles and can tell that almost none of its games are fun
anymore. --- http://thengamer.com/guru/ |

NES
has a solid library. SMB3 is one of my favorite games, the other Marios
are good, Zelda 1 is still fun, Zelda 2 is underrated (screw you all),
the Mega Mans are fun excluding 1, FF3 was amazing, Kirby's Adventure
is solid, Contra was epic, Capcom's Disney games like Duck Tales were
awesome, need I go on? I'll carry the torch. Bubble bobble, Dr Mario, Skate or Die, Kung Fu, Elevator Action, Super C, Metroid, Punch-out, Faxanadu, Bionic Commando, Shadowgate, Duck Hunt, Castlevania (esp 2 and 3), Boy and his Blob, TMNT 1&2, Ice Hockey, Tecmo Bowl, Crystalis, Kid Icarus... I could continue for awhile like this. --- ...without the necessary means for a necessary means for a higher education... FFCC:EoT Friend Code: 1462 - 2198 - 8732 |

I
don't think I can have much fun playing most NES games these days. Even
when I played through LoZ when it became available on Virtual Console
(my first time through it), it was a labor of necessity more than a
labor of love. --- Meeks54's sig for a stupid pick that had no chance. I even had it coming in first. MWC>Yo Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be.....LIKE MWC!!! |

So...
when 3 of the games are Mario games the SFF no longer applies? Just
curious as to how Link is trailing by so much on his Mario
counter-parts. Then again... Link did lose to SMB1 in the previous two
rounds, and is now well ahead of that game. So, makes sense? --- Detroit Red Wings 2008 Stanley Cup Champions! |

I'm
not sure OoT wants SM64 instead of LTTP. SM64 shares the same console
as OoT, and probably resists SFF better than another Zelda game would. Are you kidding me? Forgot how badly SM64 got murdered by OoT five years ago, did we? --- "Here I go! Divine judgment for an evil soul! Sacred Penance! Rest in peace." - Estellise Sidos Heurassein, Tales of Vesperia |

I agree there, i loved the NES megaman games. Also there was one thing i generally dont see much of in later generation games: Difficulty. The NES Megaman games i found considerably harder than the Megaman X series on the SNES, and X wasn't a bad series either. --- "If history is to change, let it change.

From: PartOfYourWorld | #074 Zelda 1 didn't age that well, but there's still a lot of other games that have aged great and are still quality and fun to play to this day, such as the Marios, Kirby, Contra, or hell, pretty much any platformer. --- Wylvane's current main account. |

Some
NES games are still a lot of fun. I still love the Mega Mans, River
City Ransom, Super Mario Bros 3, and Ninja Gaiden as my top NES games,
but a good amount of them aged badly --- http://www.xboxlc.com/cards/blue2/Albion%20Hero.jpg http://img155.imageshack.us/img155/110/akaitsuki02avi0001540295ns.jpg |
-LusterSoldier- | Posted 6/1/2009 9:53:17 PM | message detail |
Last match, SMB3 did worst at night, and better at day. SMB3 continued building a lead over SMW at night. It was about an hour before the dead zone arrived (4:00 AM) where SMW was stalling SMB3 and by the time the dead zone arrived, SMW was pulling a comeback. SMB3 will hold up better in the earlier part of the night vote, since that time period doesn't have that many European voters. It'll be more dominated by the United States, Asia, and Oceania, which all 3 of them preferred SMB3 over SMW last round. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but still not as cool as FastFalcon05, Guru Champ! |

I'm
glad there's less difficulty in games these days. Most of us who grew
up in the NES days are now older (obviously), busier, and actually have
an income to purchase more games. There are also many, many more games
available. I'd hate to spend my gaming time on fewer games because the
ones available are too hard (and, therefore, time consuming). That crap
was for 15 years ago when I could actually sit there and stomach
playing through the same levels for hours at a time. --- Meeks54's sig for a stupid pick that had no chance. I even had it coming in first. MWC>Yo Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be.....LIKE MWC!!! |

From: MyWorldIsCrono | #084 I agree with this. Most are still as fun today as they were 20+ years ago, and there are some which haven't aged as well but can still be fun such as Zelda 1, and then there's some which are just a pain in the ass to play today, such as Metroid and a lot of RPGs. --- Wylvane's current main account. |

It'd
be difficult to play NES games if that wasn't what you started with
because a lot of elements that are taken for granted nowadays weren't
present then. Taking them away can be difficult to get used to. --- "But you have been given freedom. Freedom to be...outside." "I am lightning...the rain transformed." |
