Obviously not. BUt it doesn't change the fact that NSMBWii is weak for a main Mario game.

Maybe I'm alone in this, but I consider NSMB to more of a side series.


NSMBW still gaining, but the percent is still dropping like a rock

NSMBW is a very new Nintendo-game while MvsC is a very old Capcom fighter featuring Street Fighter characters. I'll be shocked if NSMBW doesn't win the ASV to some degree. MvsC's keeping it interesting for now though; I didn't expect a fight from it like many others did. Huh.

NSMBWii is winning North America (while losing the US) and Europe, and that's it. This could be a bumpy ride.

Signs point to NSMB hanging on to this. Others might disagree but I'm actually surprised in SMB Wii being strong enough to win this, didn't expect people to give two craps about that game.

but theres no reason MvC2 shouldn't be weak. It sold bad compared to mainline SF games and this site doesn't like fighting games. This just makes me feel really bad about Mario more than MvC2 is some quality entry, since a new Mario game sucking makes more sense.

Show me one poll held on Gamefaqs where Marvel vs Capcom in any form came out looking weak. I can show you several where it came out looking impressive.

Typical stats topic logic: This result wasn't as planned, it's the game's fault.

They probably don't. Also i forgot how unpopular Marvel/Capcom is here(Europe). No wonder Mario is winning.

GameFAQs has shown time and time that it likes MvC, though expecting NSMBW to cruise was pretty crazy too, didn't you see the GotY poll, GameFAQs does not care about the game.

the Marvel vs series basically boils down to one game since nobody really cares about the first one. Of course it gets destroyed in series polls.

It's a weekend, those things kind of don't matter.
Though Europe will less of an influence.


If the voting trends don't matter much on a weekend, then how likely is it that we'll see a turnaround at this point? It seems like NSMB has this match in the bag then.

obviously and it's not really good indication of strength but this is

http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=3726

No SFF from any Nintendo related game. The worst showing from a no.1 Nintendo game in a GOTY poll. Though more to do with how bad the wii was that year and how weak it's library was. Still this poll is more of MArio being weaker than Marvel being stronger. I'm not saying marvel is super weak.

I also didn't realise that marvel poll was 7 years old either, I mean seriously....

Trends will be a lot weaker, but it won't take much for MvC2 to turn this around. If NSMBW can add a few more hundred votes to its lead it should be safe.

I hate to say it, but this is one match that we need Europe to help lock up a win.

And Canada too, because NSMBW is still over 55% there.

The whole 2009-GotY looks out of whack anyway. Go ahead and rerank its games we've seen so far:

Batman:AA
Borderlands
CoD:MW2
Demon's Souls
Dissidia
DA:O
inFamous
L4D2
PvsZ
NSMBW
RE5
SF4
Uncharted 2

We also haven't seen AC2 yet, so throw that in if you like.

Not sure who has the advantage here- we're already at the height of the weekend day vote, so it should only get better for MvC2 from here on out. It's actually gained percentage every update so far, so it's clear Mario took the early vote too.

Nominate Crono so he can get a higher seed and avoid being fed to Clinkeroth early in the contest.
EvilNcr | Posted 11/13/2010 9:39:15 AM | message detail
NSMBW is much weaker than I thought. Much weaker. I really thought it being a Mario game would make it easily beat a shmuck.
Anyway, as long at it can hold its own like this for a while longer, it should be pretty safe. A gap of about 700 votes would seal the deal.
