Either that or RBY will take a drop moving from 4-ways to 1 on 1 as well. GSC didn't drop that much when you considere just how strong MM turned out to be. It may not have dropped at all if MM was SFFing it. --- That is the key. You have found the answer._ |

whatisurnameplz, shane15 is just saying Nintendo isn't big in Europe not GameFAQs or America. --- That is the key. You have found the answer._ |

From: KanzarisKelshen | #119 I think I know my own continent and specifically my own country! The Gamecube was a bomb. The Wii though? Massive. Sure there's the casual titles as main sellers, but other big Nintendo titles have sold millions. Mario Kart Wii is possibly the highest selling game of all time here. Super Mario Galaxy, New Super Mario Bros. Wii, Twilight Princess, Brawl, all of those have sold millions. And most recently Donkey Kong Country Returns looks to match it. And of course the DS is huge. The big Nintendo stuff is huge in Europe. And those games I mentioned. If you go into a game store here they are still selling.

So how far ahead will MM be when the ASV ends, and will FFX have enough steam in the night voting to bring it back? Never say die. This is far from over. Yet. |

From: IngmarBirdman | #122 Were you between the age of 5 and 18 during the 90s, during the Pokemon fad boom? It got everyone. It wasn't just the nerds, it was everybody playing the game or watching the anime or playing the card game. No game in the last 25 years can compare to the breadth of appeal of Pokemon at its height. Then that pokemon wave fell off right as G/S/C came out. At best, it's associated with the end of the wave and the backlash. Now that enough time has passed, we don't get the teenager "This is kiddy" any more and the main age group of this site looks back at that period with ridiculous nostalgia. --- ##Alec Philly is the greatest city in the world.

From: azuarc | #157 If MM keeps this up? It's got about another hour IIRC, so...400-600 is a fair guess. It'd mean FFX would have to go completely berserk with the SNV to win...and given the two rallies for MM, it's unlikely it could pull it off. --- Placeholder anti-capslock sig. |

From: PegasusLover123 | #167 Two rallies for MM. Colossal backlash. Incredible dark horse run for its opponent.

Were you between the age of 5 and 18 during the 90s, during the Pokemon fad boom? Yeah, I was. I just didn't realize there were that many folks who played and liked RBY during this period and then dropped the series anyways. After the last battle, Pokémon seemed substantially stronger.

__Smurf__ | Posted 12/22/2010 2:04:50 PM | message detail |
hmm
this really isn't a good result for the contest, two closely matched
Nintendo and Square games in the final would have been fantastic but
instead its Nintendo v Nintendo where Link will win another ****ing
contest. Both revamps to superior titles using the same game engine
makes it a little underwhelming that one will be awarded a title like
"Game of the Decade". --- Smurf , The cream of Sonic fanboyism. |

I'll give MM a 2/3 chance of winning tomorrow. Link will not lose to a game like Brawl after what he pulled off here today. --- Nominate Crono so he can get a higher seed and avoid being fed to Clinkeroth early in the contest. |

it demonstrates the vast superiority the 90s have over the 00s on this

give us that nongenerational games contest. --- Nominate Crono so he can get a higher seed and avoid being fed to Clinkeroth early in the contest. |

From: XIII_rocks | #181 5. It's absolutely a coinflip still, but MM has gone far. It has defeated not one, not two, not three, but FOUR different games no one would have given it a chance against pre-contest to get to the finals. What's one more? --- Placeholder anti-capslock sig. |

I'd
also suggest that people who didn't own their own copy of RBY but were
part of the pokeboom would vote for it. See Mewtwo in a match pic? ****
yeah. Charizard? Hell yes, he was an awesome trading card. People had a few years to become familiar with the original 151 (or certain of them) through the show and the card game. Within a year after G/S/C came out, the boom had fallen off a lot, so you don't get the same nostalgia even for those who were still fans when it came out and played it, because they didn't have the amount of time to become familiar with it. --- http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n231/sihp/waluigi.gif Philly is the greatest city in the world.
