Some quick thoughts:
  • Pokemon HG/SS is the only Pokemon game, which is kinda sad but somewhat warranted. The series has been going downhill, though I'm still a little surprised we didn't get at least 1 of the Gen 5 or 6 games.
  • A Link Between Worlds got rekt with its bracket placement. It would've been interesting to see how it held up since 2013, but it's clearly just going to lose to Ultimate in round 2.
  • Virtue's Last Reward got a 10 seed while 999 didn't get in at all
  • Persona 4 Golden could pull another SMRPG. It has an 8-pack that looks strong to casuals but isn't really, and then Three Houses is a very winnable match for it too. Ultimate ultimately stops it though unless something weird happens.
  • SSB4 and Skyward Sword were totally snubbed

P4G has a ton of new content. Allen never strictly said upgraded ports weren't allowed.

what series do you think is missing a third game?

I guess Skyward Sword isnt there which is weird because this site loves Zelda but also reasonable because no one cares about Skyward Sword...

im not surprised those missed the bracket. ME isnt eligible anyway. Skyward Sword isnt very fondly remembered at this point. DS2 is (Im pretty sure) generally considered the worst of the series + its competing for noms with Sekiro and Bloodborne even though those are legally distinct series.

I bet generally the limit to 10 nominations instead of 15 led to a lot of 2nd/3rd choice games from series not making peoples lists. Unless youre the diehardmanest Souls fan, DS2 would never make the cut.

Mario Maker I could see, although it may just be a case of splitting nominations between the two resulting in neither getting in.

People seem to forge that nominations weren't the only thing used to construct this bracket. If they were, that would definitely make many of these snubs more believable.
