GameFAQs Contests

So 4th has come down to Abyss or Infamous, I feel that the night vote won't be kind to Infamous so if it's too far behind by morning it'll be over.

Battlefront II must have beasted in Scotland if MKDS won England but still lost. How often does that happen?

Dr. Football beat me, Yesmar in the 2010 Guru Contest!

Or it could be that Battlefront II barely won in Scotland. We don't know for sure since we can't view the actual results for each part of the country.

Ogre Battle is doing way better than I thought it would!

Don't even start.

Don't get my hopes up.

So, presuming we have a few more vote-in polls ahead of us: what other DS games do you guys think will make the vote-ins? Personally, I think the following will appear:

Kirby Canvas Curse
New Super Mario Bros.
Zelda: Phantom Hourglass

...as well as an out-of-left-field title like Hotel Dusk, Tetris DS or even Nintendogs (which I think would be hilarious :D).

Will Arnett and Keri Russell in the same show - how can you top that?!?

I would imagine that England gets noticeably more votes than Scotland however.

England definitely makes up a huge bulk of the votes that come from the UK.

Ok, serious talk.

Is Ogre Battle 64 even going to get *one* vote from Europe?

Whichever European that is.

ZOE2 is actually doing fairly well now. Might even have a shot at 4th at this rate.

Dr Football and Snake have won this round, but Sephiroth will rise again!

ZOE is beating TotA in Europe, and it's not far behind it in the U.S.

We'll see.

Infamous overtakes TotA, and ZOE2 is hot on its tails now too.

You're pretty good, Dr_Football.

I'm actually surprised how "well" TotA is doing in Europe, considering it wasn't even released over here. Is TotA really getting franchise votes?

What a very meh day. I'm a little surprised Metroid Fusion isn't doing any better than that.

NSMB should've done well enough to skip the vote-ins. Zelda: PH might have too on virtue of being a Zelda game, even if it isn't a terribly popular one.

I think we have most of the cult titles out of the way. I'd say ones that are somewhat notable but not quite enough that people would think to nominate them, like the newest Castlevania DS game or Metroid Prime Hunters or Final Fantasy III.

Also calling we'll see a Yu-Gi-Oh game in one of these upcoming polls.

SantaRPG is a horrible user.

If second and third place weren't so wrapped up, this could be an okay poll...but then GoW2 would be destroying the poll even more without MF and RE5.

I really need to try that series now that I have a PS2.

And I might as well throw this out here. Excluding the Pokemon games, which handheld game do you think will be the strongest?

I could see NSMB being the strongest game, even if reception is a little mixed due to how easy it was. I think FF4 would also have a good argument (no way does Bacon not let that game in). And if SM64DS somehow manages to actually make the bracket, it might have a chance as well (though granted I do think it'd be significantly weaker than SM64 since it has more of a stigma thanks to its horrid controls).

Dunno what else would be that strong besides CTDS and the FF GBA games, and those are simply ports to begin with.

Wylvane
Justin_Crossing is a horrible user.

I would go with Mario Kart DS.

Speaking of handhelds what non-DS handheld games do you think will make the contest?

For me the ones that have a chance on at least making the vote-ins are...

Golden Sun
Fire Emblem
Final Fantasy Tactics Advance
Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald
Dissidia: Final Fantasy

Congrats to Dr. Football for winning the Guru.

Also before I forget. Since I won't be here when SBAllen reveals the next tidbit my prediction for it is...

Number of series/games represented in the bracket not including the vote-in.

What the...Layton is cutting on Tales?
...The hell.

Ogre Battle is almost at 9% in Canada.

If it weren't for those stupid non-Americas/Japanese, it would be placing!

Well Infamous looks pretty good to win this. No way does Tales win the ASV over it. Layton will die now that the Europe vote bracket is done with, though.

You could be right, but I don't know - something just seems odd about the idea of NSMB making the bracket and Mario Kart DS having to go through the vote-ins. Seems to me that Kart is the more popular game, at least on this site.

Speaking of handhelds what non-DS handheld games do you think will make the contest?

I agree with all the ones you mentioned, and I also think the following will make it:

Pokemon Gold/Silver (bracket, possibly as a 1-Seed)
WarioWare, Inc. (bracket)
Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga (vote-ins)

I'm thinking people are forgetting about Crisis Core when it comes to handheld games. It got Zack into the contest, afterall.

The Baconator confirms this will be a 128-entrant contest with the same 1v1, 12-hour format as last time. And the whole Stats Topic got their Red Rider BB Guns for Christmas.

So what's this special surprise he was referring to anyway

A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice.

So the games in the last 3 vote-in polls aren't giving me much confidence in the first round or two of this contest. I think we'd have trouble filling a full 128 game battle even if we weren't restricted to one decade.

"Why did you want to go to your house anyhow, Fah?" Ryoko asked.
"No reason. There would have been cookies though."

And yet none of the games I nominated are even going to make it into the contest!

Well ok, except RE4
