After long thoughts and even longer research to compile a list of suggested nominations, I've decided to continue forward by going even further back in time and now having Board 8 determine what is the best game released in 1996! The birth of the Nintendo 64! The early phases of the Sega Saturn and Sony Playstation! The Super Nintendo and Sega Genesis on their final legs! It's all here!
Wall of Champions 1997 - Castlevania: Symphony of the Night 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 2005 - Resident Evil 4 2006 - Okami 2007 - Super Mario Galaxy 2008 - Persona 4 2009 - Uncharted 2 2010 - Super Mario Galaxy 2 2011 - Portal 2 2012 - Xenoblade Chronicles 2013 - Zelda: A Link Between Worlds 2014 - Super Smash Bros. for Wii U 2015 - Rocket League 2016 - Dark Souls III 2017 - Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2018 - Super Smash Bros. Ultimate 2019 - Disco Elysium What game from 1996 will join the elite listed above? That will be determined starting today! Rules 1) Nominate up to 10 games released in North America in 1996. Ports of games released in North America before 1996 are not eligible.

2) Points are determined by how many games you nominate. If you nominate 10 games, your top choice gets 10 points. If you nominate 5 games, your top choice only gets 5 points. If you only nominate one game, it gets one point. Plain and simple. Did you mean what you typed? I would think that you would have 10 points to distribute between the chosen games. So, one game would get all ten points, two games would each get five points, five games would get two each, and ten games would each get one point. --- "You can't be more popular than me.

And yeah, Metalmind is right about MK64. Though I'd have have sworn it was a '96 game, I double checked and it did release '97. --- "You can't be more popular than me.
