Even if it counts, it's such a weird move. Shadow of the Colossus is a PS2 game. Groundbreaking. Context is important.

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.
Yeah, that sudden death round is a good way to deal with the technological gap between, say, Gameboy and Switch.
Looks good to me!

Nope, came out for PS3 in March 2013. PS4 didn't hit the shelves until that fall.

To be clear I was thinking team against team (10 games against 10 games), not for games in specific rounds. If we did individual rounds, I would do something differently.

I mean, I actually meant to type PS3 because that's what I played it on. But, just out of curiosity, what difference does it make? What if I'd first played in on PS4?

We are drafting games for the system in which they were originally released. No definitive or remastered editions. Some games have been re-released tons of times.
