Video Game Tournament: Second Three Matchups Are Up!

[Monkey_Driven]

Just checking - a team is valid if it has 1 mobile platform and 3 others, right?

Yes! As long as four different platforms are represented in your 8 selections you are golden. The handheld/portable/mobile selection is considered one of the four platforms.

Super Metroid (SNES)

Super Metroid (SNES)

Very nice. My second favorite Metroid game (obviously) and one of the best 2D games ever.

[Monkey_Driven]

Can't believe this hasn't been taken yet. Arguably, the most influential/important game of the past 25 years...

Super Mario 64 (Nintendo 64)

[CopperTom]

30 picks. 16 First-Party Nintendo games picked.

They're the best and they've been around the longest. But really, they're the best.

I'm no expert, but I'd guess NES, SNES and PS2 are generally considered 3 best consoles of all time. With maybe the 2600 not far behind.

When it is all said and done I think the PS4 will also be in the conversation.

Yes, yes, yes. Hell no.

The Nintendo 64 would have to be in the running as well, right?

And my power and moving issues are pretty much resolved now, some boxes and decorating not withstanding. I'll be ready to pick after Durden and tree make picks today.

It did suffer from fewer games though. The quality of the games it had was very high.

I personally think the PS1 was superior to the N64 for sheer volume of games, especially in a time where games themselves were very experimental and constantly evolving. But it's hard to deny the quality of the big N64 games of the day.

This is probably true. Easier to remember all of the A+ or A games on the 64 than the dozens and dozens of B+ and A-s on the PSOne.

Joey's really slowing this thing down.

This is like baseball indeed

I've got a dip in as we speak.
