Round 1 Division 8 Day 16
Pokemon HeartGold / SoulSilver Version 81.96%
Night in the Woods 18.04%

Prediction Percentage 91.81%

The final one of the three remakes would also score a big blowout. Its always weird to speak of the Pokemon entries as a single game when theyre technically two, but it makes sense, I suppose. So far, there was nothing indicating that being a remake would hurt you in any way. It was also still hard to tell because its different when facing games that people actually think about remembering the past decade of games than when its against something not widely known. The big opponent for Pokemon HGSS was NieR Automata in round 3. It was the board favorite to make round 4 but expected to lose to Skyrim by everyone except a few that fear Pokemon too much, or underestimate Skyrim I suppose.

NieR looked pretty good today, but it wouldnt take many votes against HGSS to prevent it from getting a higher percentage, so Im pretty sure most people still believed in whatever they did before the contest began. Night in the Woods is a cute game that was pretty well acclaimed, but it hasnt gotten the attention a bunch of other indie games have gotten. It released on everything and its from 2017, so here a good reminder that people arent actually voting for things because theyre from 2017, it just happens to have a lot of games we care strongly for. That might just be the most obvious statement you can make.

The same thing can be said about indie games, however. We grouped those together a lot more than we should, especially in the early part of contest. One indie game being good doesnt really say anything about the others, regardless of exposure. That indie games generally seemed to do better likely just means that indie games in general have a easier time getting exposure today. That obviously increases the chances that well have legit indie games, but it doesnt mean a general rise. Of course, another match going on today was showing that better.
