Round Two
(1) Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time > (8) Secret of Mana
(4) Banjo-Kazooie > (5) Earthbound - tough choice; 2B/Bowser redeemed Ness this year but I'm sticking to my guns and backing the N64 in tight ones this bracket
(6) Sonic 3 & Knuckles > (14) Harvest Moon
(2) Final Fantasy VIII - (7) Mega Man 3

(1) Sonic the Hedgehog 2 > (9) Metroid II: Return of Samus
(4) Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars > (5) Street Fighter II - cute rematch, but it would only be more dominating a blowout
(3) Castlevania: Symphony of the Night > (6) Goldeneye 007 - 4p multi memories keep GE strong in this format but this is a devastating draw. licensing pitfalls keep it from ever getting a lovingly crafted re-release as SotN has had, putting it in a bad position against a game that has aged like fine wine
(2) Super Metroid > (7) Resident Evil

(1) Legend of Zelda: Link to the Past > (8) Parasite Eve
(4) Spyro the Dragon > (5) Tomb Raider - Lara looked good this year but all that character design appeal goes out the window when she has to be made out of lego blocks in the match pic
(3) Final Fantasy Tactics > (6) Fallout 2
(2) Mega Man X > (10) Suikoden

(1) Final Fantasy VI > (9) Killer Instinct
(5) Mortal Kombat > (4) Mega Man 7 - hard choice, I'll side with MK nostalgic with zero confidence
(3) Mario Kart 64 > (6) Diddy Kong Racing - some people still prefer DKR to this day. here's hoping this 90/10 beatdown opens their eyes to the truth
(2) Super Smash Bros. > (10) Breath of Fire II

(1) Chrono Trigger > (9) Marvel vs. Capcom
(5) Soul Calibur > (4) Half-Life - HL SHOULD have this easily, but it'll keep getting antivoted until HL3 wins GotY
(3) Final Fantasy IV > (6) Mega Man Legends
(2) Super Mario Kart > (7) Xenogears - don't bet against memories of battle mode

(1) Final Fantasy VII > (8) Doom
(5) Resident Evil 3 > (4) Crash Bandicoot
(6) Kirby Super Star > (3) Super Castlevania IV - never thought I'd see a Kirby game in R3 but this path seems possible?
(2) Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakeneing > (7) Suikoden II

(1) Super Mario Bros 3 > (8) Sonic the Hedgehog 1 - Sega does what Nintendon't: go out in Round Two
(12) Donkey Kong Country > (4) Final Fantasy V - the miracle run continues! (don't have anything else below a 6 seed still alive)
(3) Star Fox 64 > (6) Grand Theft Auto
(2) Metal Gear Solid > (7) F-Zero

(1) Pokemon Red/Blue/Yellow > (8) Mortal Kombat 2
(4) Super Mario World II: Yoshi's Island > (5) Donkey Kong Country 2 - probably these two are close in strength, but hierarchy rules the day head to head
(3) Super Mario 64 > (6) Sonic Adventure
(2) Super Mario World > (7) Final Fantasy I - FF1 could probably threaten some other R2 opponents but that's okay, the series will still be very well represented in R3
