still deciding on the other two matches... also, great day for art today even if it's not fanart, will probably get some mor ardain art for the followup post as well

ye

oh yeah by the way this is what noel is https://youtu.be/CwdCbIw4sWY?t=260

fmv anime games weren't unheard of in the ps1 era but this particular sim was impressive, especially for a 1996 release

Nausicaa

the idea that gt2 needed a double to get in at all wasn't one i wanted to consider

to me the glaring snubs are gran turismo 1 and 2

i knew it would happen since nobody here gives a fuck about them but it still hurts

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/9/8/8/AARWb-AADjSs.jpg https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/9/8/9/AARWb-AADjSt.png https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/9/9/0/AARWb-AADjSu.jpg

i would've done an fanart showcase but i eventually had to concede it just wasn't viable for most of these (especially not heartland). i did find some mrd art including forest stage fanart at least (i flipped on the first match after a while...) but still

not to steal rwlh's genre niche but it's surprising none of these songs had genres suggested after where they play since all of them are in named areas or stages here besides mad last world. not that the current ones are bad at all (i see now that alto's is like the exact opposite of what it's used for ingame lmao but still)

by the way here's the art i would've used had i not flipped on match 1

sadly i couldn't find any fanart of the fake mech anime jupiter's themed around but i eventually realised i could just use sayonara jupiter fanart instead

Desire>Jupiter>Journey>Sky>Desert>Rain, all pretty close though

was going to say the utawarerumono spinoff except i only just realised that's confirmed this year oops (barring more delays of course)

iiiiii guess sf6 of what's there?

oh wait i remembered one of the games i was trying to recall

drop uhhhh oreshika add Wonder Project J2

tbh this one was also just stupidly packed, i didn't come close to checking all the game lists per console valid here. there were about 2500 games eligible here on VNDB alone... (mostly on windows 95/98 but there were still a few hundred on other pcs and near 500 on consoles...)

yeah separating them is one of those things that is good for the bracket but bad for noms lol

ok time to act on this fast and get things into snubs lol

Gran Turismo 2
Racing Lagoon
Ace Combat 3: electrosphere
SANVEIN
Radiant Silvergun
Shuusou Gyoku
Touhou Fuumaroku ~ the Story of Eastern Wonderland
NOL NOT DiGITAL
YU-NO: A girl who chants love at the bound of this world
Subete ga F ni Naru ~The Perfect Insider~
Devicereign
Riviera: Yakusoku no Chi Riviera
Moon: Remix RPG Adventure
Tail Concerto
Klonoa: Door to Phantomile
Ore no Shikabane wo Koete Yuke
Pokmon Puzzle Challenge
Waku Waku 7
Puyo Puyo DA!
Saturn Bomberman

(edit: forgot doubles, they're bold now)

anyway i'm fine with whatever works best, increasing doesn't matter much assuming there's still snubs, though i guess the extension does mean i'd at least have a shot at getting things into snubs (ok probably not)

plasmabeam posted...

Sin & Punishment, Valkyrie Profile, and Lunar SSSC all got in, my friend.

i edited those ones in after looking at the existing noms lmao. i was referring to the ones that i was original nominator for aka. most of them

also nobody look at my accidental napple tale inclusion please, it's hard to remember which games were late ps1 or dreamcast at times...

i'm fine with the cutoff standing since i knew absolutely nothing i nominated would get in either way

well shit

i was still looking through all the game lists by system for most of the last like 12 hours so sad

my nomslist presently was going to be something along the lines of

Gran Turismo 2
Racing Lagoon
Ace Combat 3: electrosphere
SANVEIN
Radiant Silvergun
Shuusou Gyoku
Touhou Fuumaroku ~ the Story of Eastern Wonderland
Touhou Yumejikuu ~ Phantasmagoria of Dim.Dream

Hi-Hou-Ou

yes i know that was more than 20 i hadn't cut down on them down yet

since no wonderswan color games were nominated i hope riviera can be used next time...

Wordle 417 3/6

oh wait i have another question

sources seem to conflict on whether wonderswan color counts as 5th or 6th gen (wikipedia says 5th, gamefaqs says 6th...)

this doesn't really matter since i strongly doubt anyone besides me would even nominate wsc games but i want to, so...

oh wait i got it wrong anyway it was in 2000 i just read the wrong date

it was AIR lol

just doing an obligatory vn list check rn

question i suppose, would a game that was originally released on pc after 2000, but got a game boy color port later be eligible

Damn, I forgot there were woods songs as well as forest ones still in this year. Really just a good year for trees

speaking of i forgot to note that this was the reason i didn't actually use the yu-no remake cg where different world plays for my vote even though i said i would beforehand (because it only plays in a forest and i got worried that would be misinterpreted...)

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/1/5/6/AARWb-AADimc.jpg
lastly there's the xenoblade x image i would've used in the unlikely event i somehow liked it more than halo today. i expected it would've been easier to find decent fanart of new LA (especially after powerone somehow did...) but evidently not, so this is just official art. honestly i just wanted to find xenoblade x environment fanart in general

oh yeah and here's another halo thing my friend did

i wanted to pick a 13s image with the mechs since it was a battle theme and all but there weren't that many out there sadly. these were the others i mainly considered but i didn't feel they fit that well

(forgive the low quality on these too, post filesize limits are a thing...)

also here's a powerone image. have to admit that i didn't expect to get actual area fanart for dragon quarter specifically
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/1/4/7/AARWb-AADimT.jpg

also here's some images i didn't use (starting with yu-no image snubs)

i was hoping there'd be more yu-no fanart of the other world (preferably either the forest or the desert) but all i could find was characters or nsfw stuff so most of this is official art...

no promises i don't just take back my 2nd vote that is easily one of the hardest matches so far this contest tbh

also i cheated and didn't use uncharted waters fanart please forgive me

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9X4UtrpEZ6c

its lack of colour might as well be a core theme of it lol

(this is also why i picked a fairly faded watercolour image)

ultimately though i don't think you're wrong to view it differently, since at the end of the day i guess it actually objectively can be viewed as bright without the vocals, otherwise it wouldn't have been made into the main menu theme for most games in the series...

Wordle 414 3/6





speaking of lucky first guesses (unfortunate i failed to capitalise, though there were still a lot of possibilities left for that slot so i'll take what i can get)

RAINBOW SPARKLES

ironia's such a gloomy, ephemeral song it's very interesting to me that people are viewing it as bright happy pop without lyrics (or vocals) to accompany it...

the first two were hard to come up with anything for since they're so barebones

oh wait i forgot i hadn't nominated in this corner of the world prior oops >_>

was really hoping any of the ones i nominated would get a support or two (esp on-gaku and cocolors) but i don't think they did bah

still not stopping me from doing more doomed noms at the last minute though (ok there's also one or two supports (ok 3 since i didn't refresh the page since over half an hour ago))

i wonder if there's enough fanart for me to make this a proper voting gimmick
also tbh i was hoping to find fanart of the move where the kirb boss makes 2 copies of itself, but i guess i should be glad any good depictions of the fight exist at all
