Howdy folks. We've added a new feedback form for you all to submit write-ups of each year to use in the upcoming contest. You can find the form here:
https://www.gamefaqs.com/feedback?type=60 I think it's pretty straightforward but feel free to ask questions here and I'll try to answer them as soon as possible. --- "Um, let's face it, you'd be better off staying at the Hilton." http://facebook.com/GFAQS | http://twitter.com/GameFAQs ...

Just to clarify can we mention ports in other years? For example can Tetris be mentioned in 1989 despite making its North American debut in 1986?

So uh "best of luck" and may the best writeup win. Though I'm not sure mine was the best, since it didn't mention CrazyBus. --- Such a lust for revenge ... Copied to Clipboard!

As someone who's submitted a bunch so far, I'm curious what could be improved on the ones that have been coming in. Are they in some cases not listing enough games for each year or too many without enough details about the games?

Here's my 2014 Writeup
2014 was an interesting year for both sequels and new IPs. The biggest Nintendo release was by far the newest Super Smash Bros. game on both 3DS and Wii U which started the trend of DLC for the series. Other notable sequels are Dark Souls II, Dragon Age: Inquisition, Mario Kart 8, Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII and Bayonetta 2. There were also a handful of games that were unique in terms of the developers or for the genre such as Destiny (Bungie), Hearthstone (Blizzard), South Park: The Stick of Truth (Obsidian) and Five Nights at Freddy's (unique horror game). --- ISFJ.

And here's my 2015 one I just submitted
2015 was a year where both sequels did unique twists with their series and new IPs did some very cool things to stick out on their own. Metal Gear Solid V had less story but succeeded by having much more open ended gameplay than its predecessors. Witcher 3 tweaked some core gameplay mechanics and is now much more popular than its prequels. Super Mario Maker is an official 2D level creator game where you can share levels with people online. Splatoon is Nintendo's version of games like Team Fortress 2 and Overwatch. Bloodborne is a spiritual sequel to the Souls series with its own unique mechanics. Undertale will be forever remembered as an indie game with its classic style and memorable quotes such as “You’re Gonna Have a Bad Time”. --- ISFJ. A VN, Anime, Japanese food and video game guy.

To be fair I probably wouldn't do 2009 and 2012 any justice. 1993 is looking to be one of my weaker ones, (Why does GameFAQs hate computer games!).

I think we're getting polls for those years though looking at the games 1972, 1978-84 will likely be the ones that make the main bracket.
