squexa posted...So how strong do you guys think '92 is. The year doesn't have much depth but ALttP is one of the best anchors you have hope for and SMK (almost beat Super Metroid in 2009) is a great second fiddle. How does '92 compare against the other strong SNES years ('91, '94, '95) and overall. You're so confident it beats 1991? I'm not too sure about that. It's also not impossible 1995 beats it. ...

That's my reasoning. 95 looked terrible against 87. TBH they could all be of similar strength indirectly but I would pick 92 over them. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

I feel like people are underestimating ALttP for some reason but it should still be a top 5 game on the site. Under optimal pictures, '92 has Sonic 2 and Mortal Kombat as well.

When making my own bracket I voted 1996 as the winner because of Pokémon, but in this contest the date is (logically) set to 1998. Eh, who knows.
I don't really take these things seriously anyway (and I don't think anyone should), mostly I just like voting for stuff and the occasional time when I am really surprised by the result :) --- Strip the flesh! Salt the wounds! *Manical laughter* ... Copied to Clipboard!

so 2005/2013 is 51/49, huh? Here are the adjusted 2015 stats from the pictures 2013 Grand Theft Auto V – 29.29% (2015) The Last of Us – 27.36% (2015) BioShock Infinite – 24.49% (2015) Fire Emblem: Awakening – 22.89% (2015) 2005 God of War Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – 23.32% (2015) Resident Evil 4 – 33.17% (2015) Shadow of the Colossus – 30.17% (2015) God of War's 2010 value is likely overrated due to Fallout 3's overperformance against Brawl. If you keep it constant with other games from that quarter it falls to the 25-27% region though given Kratos' 2013 performance I'd argue the game is a bit weaker. In a fair fight 2005 looks like it would get around the mid-50s against 2013. If you throw in the order of the picture and the fact that 2013 wins the first two match-ups the match likely ends up closer. --- Best Year in Gaming - Today's Winners: 1998 and 2003 Current Bracket Score: 29/32 ...

Do you think 98 would have still taken down 92 if Pokemon was in 96 where it belongs? If you take out OoT and left Pokemon in 98 it would still take out 92 and probably be one of the fav to win it though it would be debatable. People consider Pokemon RBY the 2nd strongest game on this site while others say it's either FF7 or CT. I personally think RBY would beat FF7 and CT 1v1. It's irrelevant as OoT is also a 98 game and that is the obvious and clear #1 game on this site by some distance not including shitty rallies and outside influence. And 98 is by far the best year in gaming in terms of quality and quantity. So I have no issues of it winning. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Giant2005 posted...Do you think 98 would have still taken down 92 if Pokemon was in 96 where it belongs? But is that just a knee-jerk reaction? ALttP > OoT Ultima Vii > Baldur's Gate Wolfenstein 3D > Half-Life Virtua Racing > Gran Turismo Alone in the Dark > Resident Evil 2 Dune 2 > Age of Empires And those are just the direct comparisons. What is left?

Although I could see an argument for 1080 Snowboarding bringing 98 out ahead - 92 really didn't have any sports games to offer. ... Copied to Clipboard!

First, outside of a handful of games GameFAQs doesn't care about PC exclusives. Second the average voter isn't be able to rattle off 10+ games from each year, they barely even make it to the end of the picture rotation. 1998 without one of OoT or Pokemon RBY would probably still win excluding picture sabotage.
