I was wondering if this would be picked. Interesting it was taken before the first.

should this even be valid though ?
there's literally no way for us to judge it other than conjecture, and possibly a handful of early reviews
I mean, it is a video game that people are playing right now (reviewers). Depending on when this draft ends we may be playing it by the time the voting starts. Up to individuals to judge it accordingly.

It's pretty dumb to select a game that's not even out yet as your 3rd pick and I'll hold it against his team, but if he wants to do it...

Yup...he has the right to do it. It's definitely a zag.

Since there's been a lot of Zelda picks, I want to get in my vote for that series.

The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask - N64, 2000

This is actually my favorite game in the series, an unlikely choice but I really enjoy the speedrunning aspect of this game. It was extremely hard when I was a kid playing it at age 10 when it came out, but when I look back at the Zelda series this is the immediate standout for me.

I meant to ask this earlier too, but Game Boy and Nintendo consoles are considered 2 different platforms, right? Or is it strictly brand lines?

4 different consoles. Not brands.

I'm surprised that Majora's was picked before Ocarina.

I have faith we are all going to be so thoroughly blown away by rdr2 .. right in time for voting most likely.. that it will be a third round steal. It's probably better than gta5 and that's widely seen as one of the greatest games of all time.

It would have been a 7th or 8th round steal. It's a 3rd round reach, even if it's great.

Nah.. I was thinking GTAV here but went ahead and picked the likely better game. The studios know their stuff.

Red Dead is better than GTA V.
