My predictions, with bold for close matches (winner likely under 55%), and some of my interspersed comments:

Round 1:

Division 1

(1) Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
(8) Secret of Mana
(5) Earthbound
(4) Banjo-Kazooie
(3) StarCraft
(6) Sonic 3 & Knuckles
(7) Mega Man 3
(2) Final Fantasy VIII

Division 2

(1) Sonic the Hedgehog 2
(9) Metroid II: Return of Samus
(5) Street Fighter II
(4) Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars
(3) Castlevania: Symphony of the Night
(6) Goldeneye 007
(7) Resident Evil (surprise blowout of the contest right here)
(2) Super Metroid

Division 3

(1) Legend of Zelda: Link to the Past (I bet Superman 64 comfortably breaks 10% here on joke votes alone)
(9) Dragon Quest V (My favoritism's speaking here; Parasite Eve deserves to be the favorite)
(5) Tomb Raider (I would like to see Earthworm Jim win here, but the brand name probably carries just enough weight)
(4) Spyro the Dragon
(3) Final Fantasy Tactics
(6) Fallout 2
(10) Suikoden
(2) Mega Man X (Underseeded Planescape could have actually won a match elsewhere, alas)

Division 4

(1) Final Fantasy VI
(8) Streets of Rage 2
(5) Mortal Kombat (I guess? This would be a good test of how much brand names mean)
(4) Mega Man 7
(3) Mario Kart 64
(6) Diddy Kong Racing
(10) Breath of Fire II
(2) Super Smash Bros.

Division 5

(1) Chrono Trigger
(9) Marvel vs. Capcom
(5) Soul Calibur (This could be close, but Lufia II is probably too niche even on GameFAQs to make it so.)
(4) Half-Life (See above.)
(3) Final Fantasy IV
(6) Mega Man Legends
(7) Xenogears
(2) Super Mario Kart

Division 6

(1) Final Fantasy VII
(8) Doom (Again my favoritism's speaking here; Star Fox probably wins due to its series)
(12) Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins (I guess? Isn't RE3 the distinct black sheep out of the first three?)
(4) Crash Bandicoot
(3) Super Castlevania IV
(6) Kirby Super Star
(7) Suikoden II
(2) Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakeneing

Division 7

(1) Super Mario Bros 3 (Its opponent is the one game in your bracket I hadn't heard of before, so blowout city?)
(8) Sonic the Hedgehog 1
(12) Donkey Kong Country
(4) Final Fantasy V
(3) Star Fox 64
(11) Shining Force 2 (No one cares about the original GTA)
(7) F-Zero (When in doubt, Nintendo > not-Nintendo, and probably by a commanding margin)
(2) Metal Gear Solid

Division 8

(1) Pokemon Red/Blue/Yellow (Or maybe this would be the blowout of the contest instead?)
(8) Mortal Kombat 2 (Tekken 3 strikes me as the more respected game, but the more relevant series should take it here)
(5) Donkey Kong Country 2
(4) Super Mario World II: Yoshi's Island
(3) Super Mario 64
(6) Sonic Adventure
(7) Final Fantasy I
(2) Super Mario World

Round 2 and on will be in another post.
