I still don't get his problem with SMRPG, because I was doing that stuff for SMRPG in BGE3 and getting it accepted with no problem. To say nothing of SMW2 and DKC2, which all had sprites at their exact size.

maybe theres a different standard when theres multiple scrolling pics I dunno

'97 Is gonna win solely because FF7.

final draft

Best one because I can actually read the logo.

Ange, interesting idea with that last SNES pic, but I wonder if that won't get it rejected because he wants to stick to one property per picture. Otherwise, I think it's great.

Forgot to count what match pics of mine got picked for the last couple days

Mario Kart 64
Turok

Mario RPG

Mario World
Street Fighter II
F-Zero
Sonic 1
Lemmings

Killer Instinct
Earthworm Jim
FF6/3
Sonic and Knuckles

Total: 20

LATE SUBMISSION FOR 94

Aww, geez. Thank God that didn't get picked. 91 would have been screwed.

Unless, of course, we were also able to have....THIS:

Just makin a bunch a pics for 1998's Link's Awakening DX... it's not like it's the first video game I ever played or nothin'...

I don't know if he will actually do ports. He'd be more likely to take those pics for whatever year the GB version of LA came out, if anything

Worth a shot. It was a more popular version of Link's Awakening, and the first big title for the Game Boy Color which will be sorely missing from 1998 without any system pics. Also 1993 is long gone, yo.

It was very hard for me to decide between 1991 and 1994. I guess it will be increasingly difficult to choose as we reach the end of the contest.

small 1998 image dump

This one is really off the wall, but as much as I love Goldeneye, it doesn't inspire me much to make pics for it.

LOL awesome.

Anyone else notice that final fantasy 3's image is from final fantasy 6.
---

Final Fantasy VI was known as Final Fantasy III in the US.

Nothing can beat 2001.

Grand Theft Auto 3
Devil May Cry
Gran Turismo 3
Jak and Daxter
Baldur Gate
Metal Gear Solid 2
Halo: Combat Evolved
Super Smash Bros Melee
Final Fantasy X
Max Payne
Silent Hill 2
SSX Tricky
Ico
Star Wars Rogue Squadron
Diablo 2
Onimusha
Burnout
Project Gotham Racing
Pikmin
Paper Mario
and loads of other games

Hardware launched:
Microsoft Xbox
Nintendo Gamecube
Nintendo Gameboy Advance

So many new IPs and sequels and hardware

The only problem is that 2001 doesnt have a game thats in the elite popularity strength tier like Ocarina, FF7, Pokemon RBY, Chrono Trigger

THe strongest is likely Melee and even thats not even as strong as like a Mario 3, World or 64

For people submitting match pictures for 1998 in future matches:

Spyro the Dragon (the first game in the series) was a 1998 release, and it'd been pretty cool to see that represented in a match.
---

---

Also, 1994 is closed off, but 2003 is not. Is that supposed to be the case?

It should not be the case here. @SBAllen, please fix this error on the submission form.

Yo Konami, could you stop making Pachinko machines for a second and produce some more SotN art? I know there's no financial gain in it, but we are running out of material!

Nice pic but that's just cheating.

This isn't a best console contest. It's best year. Chrono trigger has nothing to do with 1991.

We're still looking for images for upcoming battles. We'd like to be able to use new images for these rounds. We have some good ones but we're still coming up short, especially for 1997. If you're still interested in contributing, please get your images for games (both used and unused in previous rounds) to us as soon as possible.

In particular, we'd really like to see images from:
Final Fantasy VII
Age of Empires
Fallout
Harvest Moon
---

@SBAllen

We realize that it's late in the picture selection process, but a few members of the board have swapped some ideas, and we've generally concluded that the below choices (and order) would be excellent in presenting the two upcoming years in their strongest, most fair forms:


2001
Super Smash Bros. Melee / Final Fantasy X
Metal Gear Solid 2 / Paper Mario
Grand Theft Auto III / Halo
Devil May Cry / The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages/Seasons

1997
Final Fantasy VII / Castlevania: Symphony of the Night
Goldeneye 007 / Mario Kart 64
Star Fox 64 / Fallout
open slot / open slot

We couldn't really come to a consensus about the last two slots for 1997, but we feel that all other games selected are both important enough for their year and diverse enough to be included. Thank you for (hopefully) taking this into consideration and for letting us help with the pic-making.

Made a few more for MGS2, hope 1 of these makes it




---

Made stuff for FF7 and DMC1



---

The DMC pic is awesome, but is there any way to get rid of those gray/metal borders on the left and right?
---

Dissidia art for FFVII? Ehhhhhh.
---

Updated DMC1 pic without borders


Did the 3 other games SBAllen wanted just in case



---

Dude... MVP.

There's a reason I wasn't in a hurry to do FFVII. Game is just so stale in terms of how much its art has been seen in match pics over the years.
---

Made Golden Sun from a suggestion from that pics discussion topic..


And now to eat a late lunch and possibly make more based on demand
---

And yeah theres so much FF7 art thats been re-used you kinda have to start digging deep..

If FF7 PS4 had artwork that'd be pretty neat
---

And I'm at work today until 8:30PM Pacific, so I don't have time to be making last minute stuff. If there is anything you want done for 1998 and 1994 (or even the finals), I would like to have an idea of that tonight.
---

Eh, I feel like FFVII has plenty of stuff to work with. The game has a lot of art.

I guess people just want to get Cloud and Sephiroth in though.

Resident Evil 2 with Claire mother fucking Redfield, please.

My one RE2 pic had Claire and Leon in it soo
---

Howdy guys, just letting you know that we'll still be accepting pics for the finals up until noon PST tomorrow. We hope to highlight 10-12 games from each year in the final.
---

Thought of some console choices for 2001





Hopefully at least one of these will be chosen.
