**Official Greatest Nintendo (NES) Game of All-Time Tournament**

[pegusus]

let's just cut to the chase, Legend of Zelda vs. Super Mario Bro. 3....not sure how your brackets are aligned, but this should be the final and if it isn't then OOT severely [censored] up along the way.

nath,

All I care about is that a consensus is reached. And even then I don't care that much - I am more a product of Atari and Intellivision. I think Gobias got a huge hard-on about the bracket idea and just ran with it in a very short period of time without taking a deep breath and consulting the other 150 people who posted in that thread much less you, who clearly exhibited the most in-depth knowledge and interest in NES titles.

One thing: I'd be annoyed if a previously existing title like Marble Madness won. That game came out in arcades at least a couple if not several years before the NES was released. Same thing with a lot of other titles. NES developers produced a TON of unique games for their console, it would be much better if an original title won.

You left out the biggest reason. Marble Madness is an only ok game with no plot and little replay value. It's fun but not to play for hours like some of these games.

Er...plot is something that pre-rendered cut-scene RPG fanboys are supposed to be concerned with. It does not apply to NES games, and there's nothing wrong with that.

minor hijack, but anyone know a pc-compatible controller that'd work for emulators and actually move diagonally as well as up/down/left/right? ty ty

I bought a USB device from Radioshack that let's me plug in my Playstation 2 controller into my PC. That's how I emulate.

How about RBI Baseball? And in the new bracket, why in the hell is Tecmo Bowl an 11 seed?

I already made a pitch for RBI Baseball. No dice.

OK, I'm gonna start a new thread in a little bit with voting for the left side of the bracket. Tomorrow I'll open voting for the right side. Then I'll just keep doing it like that every day 'til the finals. That sound good?
