2002
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/1003-which-scheduled-september-release-are-you-most-looking

This might be the funniest one. The game that won the poll, Star Fox Adventures, is called mediocre, though in retrospect it might be the best in the series due to it's length and diverse gameplay. Definitely the best big budget Zelda clone of all time.

Animal Crossing is the best game from this list and scored relatively low for becoming such an iconic franchise, and my personal favorite of the bunch, Sly Cooper, was the lowest voted game why did people hate it so much???

2006
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/2488-which-scheduled-september-release-are-you-most-looking
Nothing this month won, but the game that won overall was fucking LEGO STAR WARS II over OKAMI which went on to be known as one of the greatest games of all time (and another one of the greatest zelda clones of all time!)

2007
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/2860-which-scheduled-september-release-are-you-most-looking

Halo 3 won and rightfully so.

2008
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/3226-which-scheduled-september-release-are-you-most-looking

Force Unleashed won, fair.

2009
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/3591-which-scheduled-september-release-are-you-most-looking

I don't really find ODST to be anything special tbh. Would have rather seen Bowser's Inside Story take the cake.

2010
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/4019-which-scheduled-september-release-are-you-most-looking

Halo Reach won with BBS in second, rankings I also agree with! I feel bad for anyone who voted for FFXIV lol

2011
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/4446-which-scheduled-september-release-are-you-most-looking

Oof, this one hurts. Dead Island in second place in what turned out to be a major dud. Never played Gears.

2012
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/4829-which-scheduled-september-release-are-you-most-looking

Borderlands 2 is one of my favorite games of all time so it's nice to see it with such a massive lead.

2014
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/5618-which-scheduled-september-release-are-you-most-looking

Hyrule Warriors surprisingly snakes the win from Destiny, well deserved in the long run but a surprise nonetheless.

2015
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/5985-which-scheduled-september-release-are-you-most-looking

Fuck yeah. That's all I gotta say. Fuck yeah. (MGSV was probably my most anticipated release of all time. Still haven't finished it though lol)

2016
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/6441-which-scheduled-september-release-are-you-most-looking

This one shocks me. Surprised to see DQ7 in the lead even though most people consider it to be one of the most mediocre dragon quest games. Shocked to see so many games leading Destiny since after Taken King most people started enjoying Destiny.

2017
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/6822-which-scheduled-september-release-are-you-most-looking

After years of hype, I'm surprised that Cuphead scored so low. But Metroid was deserving of this win.

It's kind of cool to see the decline of votes over the years. What happened from 2010 - 2011 to cause such a sharp decrease in numbers? Like sure numbers were falling off slowly but damn.

I know right? If there were 77k people voting in the polls daily back in 2001, think about how many unique viewers GameFAQs got daily overall. It must have been well over 100k. Now we can barely get 10k votes in the polls :(

Here's some dissection for you: 2014 lacks Forza Horizon 2 and 2015 lacks Forza 6, yet some bumfuck Vita games and even a DLC made the polls.
