I think there was too much 4-way shenanigans to know how much MMX was affected in that match. Regardless, I'd argue that Link's Awakening is legit (even if I wouldn't take it over FFX). I know people like to point that it's a Gameboy game, but it's THE Zelda Gameboy game and it's not like handheld games can't have strength, look at Pokemon RBY, GSC and Tetris.

With that said, a 128-game 90s bracket will have a boring first round because we have so many top end games destroying the fodder games. As for the question on whether the weakest 90s games will be weaker than the weakest 00s or 10s, I think they may.

The 00s had a pretty good roster, like besides Guitar Hero II and WWF No Mercy (which was the guru nomination), I don't think Ocarina of Time would break 90% against any other game in that bracket in 2010 (outside of SFF). The 10s were quite a bit weaker where OoT would probably break 90% against over two dozen entrants.

Off the top of my head, I'd expect Genesis games like Gunstar Heroes and Phantasy Star IV making the bracket which could be weaker than everything in GotD2. PC games outside of a select few are not exactly "GameFAQs approved" but will likely have a spot in the contest. Even among the successful consoles there will be weak entrants as we'll be pushing for 25-30 games for the SNES and Playstation and possibly 15-20 for the Nintendo 64.
