Ronnie Posted September 22, 2017 Posted September 22, 2017 (edited) Yeah looking good, but how come Mario Kart 8 is above Pokemon Red/Blue in the second list but not the first? Here's by console: Gamecube: 3 SNES: 2 N64: 2 Wii: 1 Gameboy: 1 Switch: 1 (Suspect the Switch would have two if we'd done this list in a couple of months) Edited September 22, 2017 by Ronnie
Glen-i Posted September 23, 2017 Posted September 23, 2017 That second list is solid, @Pestneb. Can't really fault it. That said, Explorers of Sky. A lot of people make that mistake. 1

The first list places emphasis on how "deep" N-E loves each series, while the second looks more at the breadth of N-E's Nintendo love.

Nicktendo Posted September 23, 2017 Author Posted September 23, 2017 Well, so far 20 people have voted, there are 84 games on the list and there is obviously already a clear winner (probably unsurprising). There are a couple of surprises in the top 10, but obviously everything will remain secret until everyone is ready to hear the results and a few more people have voted. 1
bob Posted September 23, 2017 Posted September 23, 2017 Are we going to have a deadline? Do we need to start tagging mofos in dis thread?
Pestneb Posted September 23, 2017 Posted September 23, 2017 tagging might not be a bad idea. Would be nice if all (most) of the staff had their say though...

Would be interesting to see how that list compares to the games we have now... are there any that have dropped off etc... I don't think I've seen your top ten yet.. did I miss it??

How can Mario Kart 8 be above Red/Blue in the second one if it doesn't have more points?

At least, that's how I think they've done it. EDIT: Or Pestneb calculated the second list while ignoring 2nd franchise entries. So in my list for example, Mother 3 would get 9 points despite coming 3rd, because Explorers of Sky would have been discounted for the 2nd 1 entry per franchise list.

Pestneb Posted September 23, 2017 Posted September 23, 2017 Yup. Basically what Glen-i said, though I'm just commenting on the thread, I have no official role or anything - Nicktendo is in charge. I'm maybe more like an exit poll, Nicktendo will be the official result. But basically my forecast is that the top ten is shaping up to be quite nice! 2

To be honest I doubt it would be anything special. It would probably be full of safe/standard choices and would no doubt annoy you with the inclusion of an old school Pokemon game.

Ronnie Posted September 24, 2017 Posted September 24, 2017 So far it's 1. Ocarine of Time 2. Smash Melee 3. Metroid Prime 4. Super Mario World 5. The Wind Waker 6. Mario Kart 8 7. Breath of the Wild 8. Super Metroid 9. Pokemon Red/Blue 10. Pokemon Gold/Silver With Mario 64 and Galaxy 2 just missing the cut. Very surprised I thought 64/a Galaxy game would be higher. Plenty more time though...

I figured that was only for voting purposes so as to get a greater range of games, but sure if people would rather it apply to the final table as well then Mario 64 gets in at 10: 1. Ocarine of Time 2. Smash Melee 3. Metroid Prime 4. Super Mario World 5. The Wind Waker 6. Mario Kart 87. Breath of the Wild 7. Super Metroid 8. Pokemon Red/Blue 9. Pokemon Gold/Silver 10.
