Okay, for Poll 3260, use this link to access the match updates: http://tinyurl.com/2ftk8de

Google cached a page from your site where the results are sorted by Donkey Kong's percentage. A minor inconvenience, but it will do.

As others have said, Shenmue will be a lot weaker than back then. The only direction it's strength could possibly have gone is down, perhaps way down. Twilight Princess will embarrass it, there is no way I can see it avoiding the tripling.

http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=3938

I showed this poll earlier, and its from this year. I don't buy the thought that Shenmue has completely dropped of. Its still about equal to Sonic Adventure 2, and thats about equal to Street Fighter 4. Theres a small chance it gets less than 20%, I guess... but if it does, I'd start worrying about TP upsetting Brawl/Melee!

Polls asking about remaking games for modern game systems =/= Contest matches or favorite game polls

Seriously, I wouldn't use a poll asking about remaking games for modern game systems as an accurate indicator for a game's strength.

People want Shenmue on those systems because it's never been released besides the Dreamcast. It's the same reason that Earthbound overperformed in the SNES Virtual Console poll.

If you say so. Shenmue to me though seems like one of those games to age very well and remembered as a classic, so I don't see it being significantly weaker than 2004. No game I see demanding a sequel even these days more than Shenmue 3.

Yeah, this is clearly just reflective of the fact that the game is hard to track down. A similar poll would name Knuckles Chaotix the best Sonic game, for example.

Added :) Thanks Luster.


Turns out that I found some additional stuff in Google's cache. I should have tried Google earlier before I emailed you. Here are some other match updates you can add:

Poll 3260: http://tinyurl.com/28fyulo
Poll 3462: http://tinyurl.com/27e7sgr
Poll 3485: http://tinyurl.com/28ekb77

Links had to be shortened because they were too long to post. Poll 3260 is a match from Character Battle VII, while 3462 and 3485 were from BGE2009. Once that stuff is added, the only missing matches will be a small handful from BGE2009.


Wow, very resourceful Luster :)

Added.

Never played Shenmue, loved Twilight Princess. Voted for Shenmue because us obscure Dreamcast games have to stick together!

The ASV will definitely not be kind to Shenmue. I'll have to wait for the next update, but I think TP could still reach 80% if it doesn't lose too much ground with the next couple updates.

Although Twilight Princess should beast over this division (with only Kingdom Hearts giving anything resembling a challenge), this isn't much of an indication of that IMO. This is mostly Shenmue just falling off a cliff since 2004, which is as most of us expected.

Twilight Princess is very strong though, sometimes people seem to forget it's not really that far behind Brawl.

FFX got 74% on Shenmue back in 2004. So, since a Shenmue drop would be expected...Zelda:TP would disappoint if it did not at least approach 80%.

Yikes, Zelda showing scary power here. I would have never gone with the KH > Zelda upset in any case, but the way Sora and Rikku tanked in the most recent 1v1 Character Battle really turned me away from the games. Thankfully, there's absolutely nothing to upset either of them before they face each other.

Also, assuming it didn't drop because of anti-Wii sentiment, it's not like Zelda is miles behind FFX. Those two games could have a pretty damn good match.

Well, most people I know hate the Wii because there isn't much else EXCEPT Zelda and Smash.

Doesn't stop people from liking Zelda and Smash.

If you had a poll these days of best Nintendo Systems and the NES was losing power, I wouldn't take that to mean people don't like Mario 3.

Why would pokemon get backlash from Wii hate? There aren't any notable Pokemon games on wii.

And I hate the wii, but i do love some wii games(not TP though and it's on GC too).
