**Official NES Greatest Game of All-Time** Championship
 

Here it is. Voting ends Saturday @ 7pm

Re: **Official NES Greatest Game of All-Time** Championship
 

Over the past few days, playing Zelda made me feel nostalgic, but playing SMB3 was actually fun.

Re: **Official NES Greatest Game of All-Time** Championship
 

The Legend of Zelda is one of the most overrated games ever.

Ocarina of Time is more overrated.

I'm sad Mike Tyson's Punch-Out didn't do better.

In conclusion: SMB3 FTW.

SMB3 always wins these things.

This coming out for Virtual Console was maybe the greatest thing ever. $5 for SMB3 is amazing.

Who else remembers this commercial?

And this was before all those cool special effects became standard on every TV commercial... They had to ship in like 800 million Chinese people to form the shape of Mario over the Earth.

Re: **Official NES Greatest Game of All-Time** Championship
 

Zelda has my vote, but doesn't stand a chance. It is the Nader of video games.

Re: **Official NES Greatest Game of All-Time** Championship
 

I remember that commercial. Is it me, or did MK ripoff it?

And SMB3&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&g t;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;Zelda 1. Where should I go? I know, I'll bomb this wall. Nope. This wall? Nope. Some parts of the game are impossible. (Lost Woods, Lost Hills, finding dungeon 8, finding Death Mountain)

Zelda 3 or Ocarina&gt;Any Mario though.

Stomping on goombas for hours on end is soooooo much better. Hey guys, look... it's a frog suit... well slap my nuts.

But SMB3 was awesome for its time.

Re: **Official NES Greatest Game of All-Time** Championship
 

Zelda!

Re: **Official NES Greatest Game of All-Time** Championship
 

Obviously rigged.

Re: **Official NES Greatest Game of All-Time** Championship
 

Jesus... I could barely bet SMB1...

I think the electronic "koopa" randomizer was working against me.

Re: **Official NES Greatest Game of All-Time** Championship
 

SMB3 ftmfw

Re: **Official NES Greatest Game of All-Time** Championship
 

SMB3 gets my vote.

lol. Everyone knows the koopa ramdomizers aren't really random.

And SMB3 gets my vote.

Re: **Official NES Greatest Game of All-Time** Championship
 

Link(Zelda 2) was obviously the better choice but I still had to vote for Zelda here...

Zelda II was one of the most disappointing games I ever played.

Re: **Official NES Greatest Game of All-Time** Championship
 

one in three of us has voted Zelda, but almost everybody posting has said SMB3. lol.

Come out of the closet, Zelda lovers! It's OK!

Re: **Official NES Greatest Game of All-Time** Championship
 

For those that don't venture into BBV4L, here is a pretty awesome thread of people MSPainting scenes from their favorite old school video games.

I posted about the replayability of SMB3, but I still voted for Zelda because at the time that game was a revelation.

Re: **Official NES Greatest Game of All-Time** Championship
 

sorry to continue the hijack, but that thread that noah linked had this bo jackson tecmo bowl link to youtube...amazing...

Re: **Official NES Greatest Game of All-Time** Championship
 

Gotta say Mario 3 for its enjoyability and how well it holds up today. Can't really argue why it should be number 1 over Zelda though. Both arguments on why they should be 1 are solid so it really comes down to what game giggles your spine and makes you vote for it.

Which is why SMB3 is winning because it ownzzzzzz.

Re: **Official NES Greatest Game of All-Time** Championship
 

Noah, I'm clapping in honor of that MS job.

The amazing thing about that TSB video is how uninteresting it is. Bo doing that happens every play.

I got a hankering to play dodgeball and blades of steel. I found my NES, hooked it up, and then remembered that I gave all my NES games to a poor kid that lived in my old neighborhood. I hate that kid.

My younger brother stuck a cookie into my NES and it worked intermittently. We gave it to a poorer family and bought a new one (they were becoming cheap then).

Zelda FTW

Re: **Official NES Greatest Game of All-Time** Championship
 

I don't remember that commercial at all. Good find though!

Re: **Official NES Greatest Game of All-Time** Championship
 

Zelda is still the first game I ever beat and I still love it.

Yes but if you believe in it you vote for it and even though it doesn't win it can influence policy in the future because the main parties try to adopt some of that game's policies in order to attract those voters.

Re: **Official NES Greatest Game of All-Time** Championship
 

just give me Dragon Warrior 3 and Adventures of Lolo 3, and i'm set.

True, but in the meantime we would get 4 more years of this.
