It's been awhile since we've done a GotY tournament, and with 6 months left to go in 2017, I've decided it's time to reverse the clocks another year and now do 1997! This will set the last 20 years in stone on this board, as the following 19 games are among the wall of champions
1998 - Pokemon RBY 1999 - Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage 2000 - Pokemon GSC 2001 - Super Smash Bros. Melee 2002 - Metroid Prime 2003 - Prince of Persia: Sands of Time 2004 - Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater 2005 - Resident Evil 4 2006 - Okami 2007 - Super Mario Galaxy 2008 - Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 4 2009 - Uncharted 2: Among Thieves 2010 - Super Mario Galaxy 2 2011 - Portal 2 2012 - Xenoblade Chronicles 2013 - The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds 2014 - Super Smash Bros. for Wii U 2015 - Rocket League 2016 - Dark Souls III 1997 was a big year for both Nintendo and Sony. The Nintendo 64 gave us classics that year such as Star Fox 64, Goldeneye 007, and Mario Kart 64. The PS1 gave us Final Fantasy VII and Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. PC gamers got Fallout, Quake II, and Riven. Arcade fans got Marvel vs. Street Fighter and Tekken 3. Even the Super Nintendo in its final year had Kirby's Dream Land 3 and Harvest Moon. So to get things started, we'll keep it simple. Nomination rules are as follows... Nominate ten games released in North America in 1997. Your #1 is worth 10 points, #2 is worth 9, and so on. If you nominate less than ten games, then said nominations will be worth less than their original amount. A broad list of eligible games will be in the next post --- Formerly known as Raven 2, currently losing to BKSheikah http://card.psnprofiles.com/1/ZeroSignal620.png ... Copied to Clipboard!

Wild Arms (this one seems reasonably prominent and you missed it!) Trying to find enough 1997 releases was challenging as is, and Wikipedia's "1997 games" section only accounts for games first released in 97, regardless of where they came out. This one's on me, I admit. But thankfully Wild Arms should still have no problem making the contest. --- Formerly known as Raven 2, currently losing to BKSheikah http://card.psnprofiles.com/1/ZeroSignal620.png ...

Phase Two (ONLY FOR THE TWELVE USERS WHO PREVIOUSLY NOMINATED)
You're allowed to nominate 5 extra games. Your top choice is worth 3 points, your #2 choice is worth 2 points, and your bottom three are worth 1 point each. This does not mean any newcomers get to nominate 15 games; they missed the opportunity to have this bonus phase, so therefore they don't get to take part in it. They're still allowed to nominate their initial ten games. @tazzyboyishere @AxemRedRanger @StifledSilence @pjbasis @Cody11533 @Johnbobb @Jesse_Custer @Snake5555555555 @BetrayedTangy @KujikawaRising Games from the first post that have yet to be nominated, in case you need inspiration Ace Combat 2 Arkanoid: Doh It Again Automobili Lamborghini Bloody Roar Broken Helix Broken Sword II: The Smoking Mirror Chameleon Twist Clayfighter 63 1/3 Colony Wars Cool Boarders 2 Critical Depth Dark Rift Darkstalkers 3 Donkey Kong Land III Dragon Ball GT: Final Bout Dungeon Keeper Dynasty Warriors Extreme-G F1 Pole Position 64 FIFA Road to World Cup 98 Fighting Force Frogger (1997) G-Darius Ghost in the Shell Harvest Moon Hexen II International Superstar Soccer 64 Jet Moto 2 Mace: The Dark Age Madden NFL 98 Mass Destruction Maximum Force MDK Mischief Makers Monster Rancher Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub Zero Myth: The Fallen Lords NASCAR '98 NBA Live '98 Need for Speed II NFL Quarterback Club '98 Nuclear Strike Off Road Challenge One Outlaws Pandemonium 2 Porsche Challenge Postal Quake II Rampage World Tour Rival Schools: United by Fate Riven Scud: The Disposable Assassin Shadow Warrior Street Fighter III: New Generation Test Drive 4 Tetrisphere The House of the Dead The King of Fighters '97 The Lost Vikings II The Lost World: Jurassic Park Three Dirty Dwarves Time Crisis II Top Gear Rally Turok: Dinosaur Hunter Vandal Hearts Vs.

I don't get it how many points were the previous ten worth 10 for #1, 1 for #10, and so on. I was doing the 5 extra noms with 3-2-1-1-1 values for the 12 users who contributed nominations this past week more or less as a way of me appreciating their efforts to contribute; they can either use them on new games yet to be nominated, or use them on games already nominated (besides ones they themselves nominated in their original post) As of gear's post, we're at 46 games nominated at least once. --- Formerly known as Raven 2, currently losing to BKSheikah http://card.psnprofiles.com/1/ZeroSignal620.png ...

While you're right that it's definitive, it would also cause problems with anyone trying to nominate it for the inevitable Best Game of 1996 tournament --- Formerly known as Raven 2, currently losing to BKSheikah http://card.psnprofiles.com/1/ZeroSignal620.png ...

Snake5555555555 07/17/17 3:53:34 AM #39: |
I don't really agree that it was the one everyone remembers playing, the original game was a smash success and while Director's Cut sold very well, it still sold less than the original. In terms of features, it's of course the definitive edition in that regard (although Deadly Silence is in the running too).

Director's Cut was released on my eighth birthday, and it erased all signs of the original in stores where I live, so I guess someone a little older would remember the time differently.
