We need to address "remastered" games. I say if you draft Game X: Entry Y you can only use the initial game and console. I.e. Zelda: Wind Waker is a GameCube game.

However, if a game is released near simultaneously on different generation of consoles, you can choose. I.e. Zelda: Twilight Princess can be a GameCube or Wii game. Zelda: BotW can be a WiiU or Switch game.

Agree.

Also, compilations like Super Mario All:Stars are not allowed.

Do you really need a subforum for a drafted team tournament?

If you guys are still short, I'll join in. I'm not much of a video game person but hopefully I can coast by on research and nostalgia

Okay, so I haven't actually read what the rules are...

Is this a "draft a team" kind of tournament? Or a March Madness type of tournament? If you need another player in a "draft a team" I'm in.
