About damn time.
FYI, I find it odd how many recent "perfect" games are still undrafted.

Zelda is a ridiculous franchise.

So many great games, it's fucking absurd.

I've been tempted about six different times but I thought three Gamecube games would be a bit much. It's my second favorite Zelda game, especially the HD version.

Well since tree went it’s my turn again

Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back - 1997, PS1

This is my pick for best platforming game of all time. Suck a dick, wop plumber.

Edit: FUCK, guess I’ll wait all day for Durden again.

BotW not withstanding, it is the deepest Zelda game. So much to do!

Crash is good, but c'mon, Mario games are better.

The teams face off against one another, like the 45 Simpsons tourneys we've done.

Also if we’re really changing the rules to 10 games this late into the tourney then I fucking want my PS4 SOTC pick to count.

Here's what I'm thinking...

6 Head to Head Matchups (determined at random)

Winners Advance

Losers Go to A Sudden Death Sixway Matchup (people vote for two)

2 Winners Advance

Round of 8 (Head to Head):

Round of 4 (Head to Head):

Championship


But I'm open to suggestions. We could vote round by round too. That would be kind of fun.

I always figured the games would be pitted against eachother at random and tallied as a victory for each team and the team with the most wins wins
