Super Mario Bros. 3 The Legend of Zelda Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!! This one is tougher than I thought. Mario 1 is non-negotiable. Zelda 1 is also probably non-negotiable. And Mario 3. Yeah. You don't need to explain Mario 3 either. I might change the last game but for now I like Punch-Out. That final fight with Tyson is iconic.

Plus, two Marios is definitely more boring of the options.

tricky one. Mario, Zelda, Mega Man, Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, Metal Gear, all had notable starts here. Metroid did too but, well, that really kicked into gear after Super Metroid and frankly it's a lesser series to most of those. a bunch of series are in that situation.
Super Mario Bros. The Legend of Zelda Final Fantasy first two feel like locks considering they became some of the biggest and most synonymous games with Nintendo to this day. FF feels like a lock as well considering it defined JRPGs and continues to this day as one of the most successful JRPG series out there. i guess the weight on choices i'd give is 1) importance to the system, 2) lasting legacy. if it's something talked about to this day or if it left a significant mark, basically. while Mario 3 obviously is important, i don't think that one game is going to be more relevant than an entire series such as Metal Gear, Dragon Quest, or Mega Man. and between SMB1 and SMB3, it's gotta be 1, as opposed to arguments for MM2 or DQ. --- "Maybe it's a tentacle, molesting the planet itself. - Aschen Brodel. ...

On the NES, all 4 DQ games outsold the first Final Fantasy. We should give that credit for FF becoming a phenomenon to its sequels rather than the original, in my eyes. FF is very much going to get its due on the PS1, PS2, and probably the SNES Rushmores, but it really doesn't belong here. --- :) ... Copied to Clipboard!

Super Mario Bros. Maybe chalk it up to being born during the SNES era, but I always had it in my mind that it was this version of Tetris that was immensely popular (perhaps it was Game Boy then?). Since nobody else put it on their list (yet), I must be wrong and will swap Tetris out for Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!! --- KCF can't actually be a real person but he is - greengravy ...

Tetris was very popular on NES, but the Game Boy version sold 4x the copies. It feels like it belongs there rather than here.
That's an interesting rushmore in and of itself, mind you. I assume it's been nominated already? Pokemon RBY and Tetris seem like locks, as does one of the Mario Lands (but not both IMO), but what's the last slot? GSC? Dr. Mario? Kirby's Dream Land? Link's Awakening? --- :) ... Copied to Clipboard!

I need a breakdown on all of these lol besides the second and third 4-ways contest The S3&K disrespect is twofold! In the 2009 Games Contest, after the initial bracket reveal, Allen allowed B8 to make topics arguing for one game to be removed and replaced by a better option. I immediately made a topic asking for Sonic 3 to be replaced by Sonic 3 & Knuckles. Allen quickly shut it down and said it wasn't allowed. Then in the 2015 Games Contest, the Guru nomination was Sonic 3 & Knuckles, which we could officially nominate now because it had a Steam port. However, it was shafted from the bracket because Allen also took review scores and such into account, so it got left out (I believe he stated it was the game that had the most nominations that didn't make the bracket). This was also why Mario 1 didn't make it. Speaking of Mario 1, back in the 2009 Games Contest again, there were questions as to why Allen had made divisions by era again like the 2004 Games Contest had done. He replied that he didn't think older games would have a chance against newer games, and he literally cited Mario 1 vs. Halo as an example of an unfair matchup. Finally, when a contingent of us (including me) appealed to Allen to open up the Character Battle to all fictional characters, he replied that he was against it because he didn't want to see Darth Maul vs. Jane Eyre in a contest. --- http://i2.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/001/080/145/638.png ...
