Kid Icarus through Double Dragon is from 1987 while Tales of Vesperia through The World Ends with You are from 2008...In case you couldn't tell.

I'm not expecting much from 1987 but still, the amount of key franchises launched during the year is impressive.

I'm voting Valkyria Chronicles, since it absolutely destroys everything here and the games that were actually listed for 2008.

1987 is just pitiful by comparison.

Contra dominating for 87 while Valkyria Chronicles currently has a small lead for 2008.

I'm not sure why i thought No More Heroes would do ok, I was debating between that and dead space.
The depth of 2008 showing through today.

Well the thing is that people are voting for arcade Contra, and I don't think that's the Contra they remember.

Guess 1988 will have Contra snubbed even in your topics.

Well yeah a vote for Contra is a vote for Arcade AND NES Contra based on SBAllen's contest criteria.

You're right. I'm really not sure then lol.
If a game is released in North america then it should be able to be listed. So Contra should be listed for 88 and games like Skies of Arcadia Legends in 2003 and Sonic Adventure 2 Battle in 2002 should be listed. I wont exclude any games anymore then as long as it released in the U.S. that year.
