Leonhart’s Analysis


You could put Chrono Trigger in this match by itself against 1986’s entire video game library, and it’d crush this match. It could be that infamous “Link vs. Everyone” type of match others used to suggest hypothetically in the past. I’ve been of the opinion that depth isn’t really going to matter as much as a lot of people think, and your top anchor will matter the most, so 1995 scares me a lot. Chrono Trigger was truly fearsome in the last Games Contest, and it could’ve won that contest.

1986 is the year of my birth, but sadly, it might be the weakest year outside of the vote-ins. Its most notable release might be me. Seriously, you could just put a picture of me on the front page, and it wouldn’t change much.

Leonhart’s Vote: 1995

Leonhart’s Prediction: 1995 with 90.90%


...Yep, that's Leonhart.

Oh man. Bubble Bobble, Outrun, and birth year. I'm definitely voting for 1986. 1995 has Full Throttle! He's dumb.


My birth year pretty much sucked from a games standpoint, but it is the one year other than 1985 that I think most gamers inherently know was the release year for a particular system, because it's one that's almost as influential as the NES.

And that, of course, would be 1989. Nintendo may get repeatedly beaten senseless by its rivals in the console market, but smartphones are the best rival they've ever had in the handheld market. The Game Boy was probably the best thing they've ever done, and it's kind of telling that their current console is a full-fledged console-portable hybrid, with its predecessor also having a hybrid between a regular controller and a tablet.

As for the assertion that 1985-1987 was SFF: Makes sense. It's quite frequent that a console's launch year is actually fairly weak on quality games for it; 1996 and 2001 seem to be the exceptions. (Oh, and I guess 1991 is the SNES's launch year, right? Though the Genesis, which had already been out for a couple of years, shares that load. Look at 1995. Strong year, but entirely because of the SNES--the PS1 launch library was atrocious.) 1987 had the launches of a number of classic franchises, essentially the defining year of the NES.
