Glen-i Posted April 4, 2019 Author Share Posted April 4, 2019 Oh right, @Ronnie. Is this the Game Boy Mega Man game you're referring to? Man, I love early Mega Man Box Art. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had the one Vileplume posted. On an related question, why did Americans insist in replacing perfectly fine covers? American Kirby's got nothin' on American Mega Man.

Glen-i Posted April 6, 2019 Author Share Posted April 6, 2019 (edited) Nominations are now closed. Before I post the shortlist, I should point out that only 10 games got 2 or more nominations. Naturally, we can't have only 10 games and there's not much point in nominations if we end up putting every game on there. I planned for such an occasion, I got together with @Dcubed to decide on 5 games that only got 1 nomination that we decided should get through. Seeing as both of us did not nominate any of the games that got 1, we can be as impartial as possible. Spoiler Donkey Kong Final Fantasy Adventure Kaeru no Tame ni Kane wa Naru (For The Frog The Bell Tolls) Game Boy Camera Kirby's Block Ball Kirby's Dream Land The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening Mega Man: Dr. Wily's Revenge Metroid II: Return of Samus Mole Mania Pokémon Red/Blue/Yellow Super Mario Land Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3 Tetris So, with that, it's time for the final votes. Voting must be done via Private Messages sent to me. This will help to prevent any possible tactical voting. Everyone must choose 3 games to vote for. They also must be ordered from favourite to third favourite. It'd be great if you could explain why you chose a game in the PM. I can then use these in the article that will go up on the N-Europe front page. I reserve the right to both use and not use someone's reasons why they chose a game. I will abstain from these votes and act as a tiebreaker. If two games tie, I'll decide which game comes out on top. Voting closes on the 13th of April. Remember to keep what games you voted for secret. Edited April 6, 2019 by Glen-i 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S.C.G Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 Here is the final article for our Top Ten NES Games. Thanks to @RedShell for the awesome banner/side graphics and @Glen-i plus @Dcubed for organising this. Oh and thanks to everyone for voting of course. (my contribution was making the game banners in the article and getting it uploaded, which was a pleasure as always) Enjoy! And here's to the next one. 7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonnas Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 Excellent article. Except for my callous use of "arse". That was crass of me. I'm bummed one of my top choices didn't break the Top 10, but I'm guessing it was a lot of people's 4th favourite game. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great article and can't really argue with the top 10. Surprised Castlevania didn't make the list though 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 Surprised that Pokemon didn't make the top 10 considering how many nominations it got. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surprised Castlevania didn't make the list though Funny that you mentioned Castlevania, it garnered quite a few nominations but got absolutely no votes when it came down to the wire. It seems that while people would happily class it as a top tier game. No-one here would state it as one of their favourite games. In contrast, Castlevania 3 got one 2nd place vote. That was probably the most surprising thing from the NES votes. Anyway, I know @S.C.G said it before. But I want to thank you all for helping me get this top ten list together. The comments I got were very nice to read and while there was no way I could put every comment on the article, I hope no-one felt particularly left out. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure I put it as my 3rd game (which would still put it behind CVIII, but still)... Like I said, it was probably 4th place for a lot of other people.

Glen-i Posted April 12, 2019 Author Share Posted April 12, 2019 (edited) It's the last day for you to vote for the Game Boy Shortlist games. So once again, I'm gonna mention those of you who nominated games, but haven't yet voted. @Mandalore @bob @Vileplume2000 @Ronnie @RedShell @Shorty @Ike If you don't vote, how do you expect to complain later? Just remember that you don't have to give descriptions for why you chose a game if you can't be bothered.
