http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=3728 MP is probably the weakest Nintendo game out of 5 in that poll, while MW2 stands out really well on top of just winning GOTY, and MW2 can't double it. Further, give CC's votes to FFX (which is very reasonable), and MW2 winds up around the level of super-SFF'd Galaxy. (27% against FFX/Brawl, respectively). --- Nominate Crono so he can get a higher seed and avoid being fed to Clinkeroth early in the contest. |

Mother
3 will be weak, but I doubt we're going to see one of the biggest
blowouts of the contest as has been hyped. DMC3 isn't strong enough to
take advantage, and Mother 3 will get a few votes for being
Earthbound's sequel. Thinking mid-high 70s. --- Nominate Crono so he can get a higher seed and avoid being fed to Clinkeroth early in the contest. |

From: red sox 777 | #257 The number of people who even know about Mother 3 is going to be pretty low, and I doubt it gets many Earthbound proxy votes. I mean, Mother 3 should be the Adventure of this contest. For the record, River City Ransom was the second weakest game in the first Games Contest. It's projected to get 72.23% on Adventure. Tanner, weakest thing ever. Guybrush Threepwood was #63 in 2004. 82.12% projected. Seriously, nearly anything will destroy Mother 3 in this contest. --- "The great GF...Bahamut." "...GF? I...?

want to say that I got warned/went out last night/worked all day today
which is why I haven't been here taking my medicine in the stats topic.
Also want to say that I'm fairly positive that Demon's Souls is going to win now, and I think I've been eliminated from the Guru already. --- http://i974.photobucket.com/albums/ae229/yungflyerz/67106910.jpg |

Mother
3 is not Adventure or Tanner. It is far far from it. Umineko would not
be Tanner or Adventure (although I think personally that Zelda 1 SFF'd
Adventure), and Mother 3 would destroy Umineko. Nothing from Nintendo or Square could ever rival Tanner/Adventure really, and especially not from Nintendo, which produces very very little that can even be categorized as "cult." --- Nominate Crono so he can get a higher seed and avoid being fed to Clinkeroth early in the contest. |

the
halo results are making me have faith in mm9 losing, basically. It
proves that the voters are actually willing to vote on the basis of
individual games and won't just vote for games based on what franchise
they are. --- http://i974.photobucket.com/albums/ae229/yungflyerz/67106910.jpg |
LeonhartFour | Posted 10/23/2010 9:29:22 PM | message detail |
From: red sox 777 | #265 Yes, but Mother 3 can be categorized as "cult" here. More than just about anything else. It probably has the lowest American playrate of any game in this contest. I really doubt Mother 3 is going to be getting very many votes of any kind based on Brawl, Earthbound, or anything like that. --- "So cold. I am always by your side."

Mother 3 is not Adventure or Tanner. It is far far from it. You're right, they weer actually released to English Speaking countries, so they should have the advantage. Nothing from Nintendo or Square could ever rival Tanner/Adventure really, and especially not from Nintendo, which produces very very little that can even be categorized as "cult." Would you not consider old SNES Fire Emblems or Final Fantasy 3 (pre DS remake) cult? --- http://i56.tinypic.com/o5thna.jpg http://i51.tinypic.com/33kbvba.jpg |

Mother
3 is the unreleased third installment of a cult series that wasn't ever
released in Europe, and only had one released in the US. It might not
break 10% in Europe, and definitely will get tripled, and possibly not
even break 20% overall. --- Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? Guru winnah Explicit Content, that's quis. |

Final Fantasy III would get a decent amount of votes due to the brand name and people thinking it's Final Fantasy VI. --- Support Barret Wallace (Final Fantasy VII) for Character Battle IX! http://img687.imageshack.us/img687/3834/banner1barret.jpg |
red sox 777 | Posted 10/23/2010 9:34:51 PM | message detail |
Mother 3 and Earthbound qualify as cult (I didn't say they weren't, just that most Nintendo stuff wasn't). For Square, nowadays pretty much everything other than Final Fantasy, Chrono, Kingdom Hearts, and Dragon Quest that they do can qualifies as cult. But a cult Nintendo/Square game is still a far cry from something like Umineko or Lufia 2. And it's even further from Adventure/Tanner, which are not cult at all, just plain unknown/unrecognizable/unpopular. --- Nominate Crono so he can get a higher seed and avoid being fed to Clinkeroth early in the contest. |

Now silly me will check how many Nintendo games are in each division! North: 1 (Super Mario Sunshine) Northeast: 2 (Metroid Prime, Mother 3) East: 8 (Smash Bros. Melee, Smash Bros. Brawl, Pokemon Platinum, Perfect Dark, Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance, Conker's Bad Fur Day, Metroid Fusion, Mario Kart DS) Southeast: 4 (Super Mario Galaxy, Zelda: Twilight Princess, Pokemon Emerald, F-Zero GX) South: 2 (Golden Sun, Fire Emblem, Phoenix Wright: Trials and Tribulations) Southwest: 1 (Resident Evil 4) West: 5 (Paper Mario, New Super Mario Wii, Banjo-Tooie, Eternal Darkness, Animal Crossing) Northwest: 8 (Zelda: Majora's Mask, Zelda: Wind Waker, Pokemon Crystal, Phoenix Wright, Paper Mario: Thousand Year Door, Mario Kart Wii, Advance Wars, Wii Sports) Overall: 31/128 Note: I counted games whose Australian versions were published by Nintendo (while their NTSC versions weren't) as well. --- I have no idea how Metroid: Other M got any scores lower than 60%. |
red sox 777 | Posted 10/23/2010 9:40:27 PM | message detail |
MP is falling off quite rapidly here in the Power Hour- I like that. 75-80% sounds very reasonable for DMC3 today. 90% would be pretty absurd though, as DMC3 probably couldn't break 30% on FFX/Melee/Brawl. Maybe FFX could hit 90% on Mother 3 (Smash probably would thanks to SFF), but if it did I'd call it an impressive show. Mother 3 isn't going to be unknown to everyone. In name recognition, it's going to do better than the average cult JRPG simply through its association with Earthbound/Smash/Nintendo. Of course, most of the people who have heard of it have never played it (and probably haven't played Earthbound either), but that's enough to keep it far away from the likes of Tanner. --- Nominate Crono so he can get a higher seed and avoid being fed to Clinkeroth early in the contest. |

Do you think over 10% of GameFAQs has A) Heard of Mother 3? B) Know Mother 3 is the sequel to Earthbound? C) Played Mother 3? I'm pretty confident that 90% of the voters who played Mother 3 will vote for it over DMC3, because Mother 3 is the kind of game that has an incredibly devoted fanbase. The main thing is whether or not DMC3 is a big enough and well-known enough game that people will recognize it enough to vote for it. If it was FFX or Brawl, for instance, then them breaking 90% wouldn't be surprising in the least. DMC3 has its work cut out for it, but then again, it's more likely that if voters don't really know much about DMC3, they simply won't vote, which will benefit Mother 3. So basically expect some of the worst votals in the entire contest for this match. --- Wylvane special_sauce is a horrible user. |

Nah,
I'm pretty sure I'd have known what Mother 3 was without Board 8. Maybe
I wouldn't have known the game existed, but if I saw it in a contest,
I'd know it was the sequel to Earthbound and that Nintendo had finally
gotten around to making it. --- Nominate Crono so he can get a higher seed and avoid being fed to Clinkeroth early in the contest. |

From: WarThaNemesis2 | #286 I'd take Mother 3 over the likes of Tanner. The 10% or so of GameFAQs who have heard of Mother 3 (probably being generous here) is still 10% more people voting for it than the 0% who gives a **** about Tanner. I think Mother 3 vs Adventure could be an interesting match. Adventure does have a few fans and it did face the worst game it could possibly face in the first Games Contest. --- Wylvane Ikon is a horrible user. |
