Yes, it doesn't have the jokey appeal of L-Block or the plain unlikability of a Reddit hostile takeover like in 2013. Two Zelda characters on collision course is just plain boring. If Mario doesn't come back, the princess should just get reckt by whoever comes from the loser bracket.

When you look at it, the Noble 9 just represents what built many gamer histories, at least until the mid-2000s.

It's the Nintendo flagship (Mario), two of the company's other best series (Link, Samus), and the one series that once stood up against that flagship (Sonic).

It's the PS game that basically built GameFAQs (Cloud, Sephiroth), a classic action game from that console (Snake) and another beloved RPG from said company (Crono)

And a beloved old-school series before Capcom started giving it the shaft. (Mega Man)

And of course, the games have content that drives people towards the site's walkthroughs (though only MM by being consistently difficult...).

This would be the first (non-Years) contest without Metroid - even the game where Samus interacts with people lacks a lover. And if only canon couples enter, the bracket would be so trimmed FFIV fans could even have a chance to see Cecil winning a match.

Cardboard Box
Rings/Chaos Emeralds

Mega Man, it's hard to determine if the Mega Buster or one of the upgrades is the real item. The iconic item in CT, either the Epoch or Frog's Masamune, not Crono-specific. And Seph's sword is the Masamune too?

In theaters, 34 (plus 8 that debuted only this year in my country; add that I've seen 2 movies twice, once alone and once with my mother - Mission: Impossible and Bohemian Rhapsody - 43 screenings). Elsewhere, 3 more (Annihilation on Netflix, Isle of Dogs on the plane, Skyscraper borrowed from someone who bought the Blu-Ray).

Top 8, in no particular order:
A Quiet Place
A Star is Born
Mission: Impossible - Fallout
Incredibles II
Black Panther
Avengers: Infinity War
Ant-Man and the Wasp
A Simple Favor

Bottom 5:
Hotel Transylvania 3
The Grinch
The Meg

I must be around this number too, even considering that my country got some 2017 movies only in the first quarter (and sadly, RBTI and Creed II are also only coming in January). And a few of them with free tickets, too!

Will post more later, but haven't found Hereditary all that good (the ending has a weird tonal shift that lost me), specially compared to A Quiet Place.

Metroid, Metroid II, Super Metroid, Metroid Fusion, the Prime trilogy, Prime Hunters, heck, even the pinball game, that's one hell of a series before Other M derailed it and Nintendo made it even worse by only bringing the series back with Federation Force (then again, they followed it by remaking M2). It's enough for people to like Samus no matter what. Smash Bros also helps.

Metal Gear Survive doesn't feature Snake, not even Big Boss. That won't help him!
