Oh wait, I was wrong. SMB1 must have been the game that was mentioned in 2015, since I just unlocked a memory of people going "Do we need *another* Mario game in the bracket?" and I remember thinking, "Do we need *both* Galaxy games? It could replace one of them."

Dragon Quest III is definitely very influential and I considered it, but for me DQ1 goes beyond influencing JRPGs, and had a major impact on console games as a whole. My understanding at least, is that DQ1 was part of the wave of games (Mario, Zelda, Metroid, Portopia) that really showed the scale that console games were capable of.

Zelda 1 was the game that Bacon said specifically did not make it in due to the nomination rules, IIRC.

The whole thing was silly anyway, since it seemed to have been designed to exclude League of Legends and avoid rallying (lol at that) while providing some sort of plausible deniability, but like, who cares about deniability? Just exclude the game, and if someone asks just shrug. This was a constant issue with contests where the nominations were treated as if they were a legally binding contract, and if something needed to be dropped/added there was nothing Ceej or Bacon could do about it. If there was a great idea for the Rivalry Rumble that didn't make get enough noms for example, just put it in! I don't understand why this was always such an issue.

Hmm, didn't feel it somehow, and I didn't feel the one from ~15 years ago either, albeit that one was a lot farther away.

I'm seeing the new post symbol when there's no new posts in a topic.

And we were doing so well

I'm someone that mostly tries to take these topics seriously and not just list my favorites, and I don't think Xenoblade is that crazy a pick. Maybe I'm Board 8-pilled, but it's one of the most acclaimed games on the system. It's far from the biggest stretch in these topics.

Wii Sports
Super Mario Galaxy
Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Just Dance

Doo doo doo, doo doo doo, a donde bay!

Zelda: Wand of Gamelon

Does anyone else watch Retro Pals? I could do an entire Mount Rushmore of just CD-I games/memes from their stream.

It's 2024 and you don't get how targeted ads work yet?

Well, I also assume there's filters in place so that you don't get ads for condoms on a site that blocks out the word "shit"

I used to get ads on gamefaqs of whatever my latest searches were. Then I got adblockers.

So uhh, whatcho been searchin' for

Definitely not anything involving condoms. <_<

Just saw an ad for an Amazon listing of Trojans Ultra Ribbed.

Wow. Is this really the first Link mention?

I also want to add in support of the Wicked Witch of the West that her skin color is so distinct/notable that when the Sam Raimi Oz the Great and Powerful film came out 10 years ago, they had to actually use a separate distinct shade of green to avoid violating copyright.

Tough one, so I tried to focus on characters that are known specifically for being green.

I didn't want to start an argument in the main topic, but do the EGM April Fools' pranks really count as urban legends? I'm not saying an urban legend can't have an identifiable source, but if 90% of us could tell you exactly where they came from, that doesn't seem particularly "folkloric." I can't speak for the others because they were from before my time, but did Sonic and Tails being in Melee ever really get that divorced from the source?

There's only 96 movies that qualify for this PLUS Sunrise which won alongside Wings at the first Academy Awards before they figured out what was going on and started only picking one winner. See below for full list. If you go off this list I'll just... not count it, so don't waste your votes!

Thank you for speaking the truth which the cowardly Academy still refuses to acknowledge for some reason.

I'm assuming "Drowning" counts as a jingle.
