Don't forget that this region is for all Nintendo systems. It looks like everyone (except me) has nominated only NES games.

 

[toophly1124]

GoldenEye 007

 

[coolwaterunc]

Mario
Zelda
Duck Hunt
Goldeneye
Perfect Dark
Turok
Star Fox
Donkey Kong
Metroid

 

[toophly1124]

Mario Kart ... that just falls into all things Mario related?

 

[coolwaterunc]

Yeah, Mario is kinda complicated. There are probably more spinoffs than traditional Mario games.

Mario is king with nintendo. Zelda is second.
Mario has over 200 varieties of games based on their charactors.

Correct

Many of these listed already but my nominees:

Mario (Mario 3 is the best but Mario 2 is super duper underrated)
Goldeneye
Zelda
Mike Tyson's Punchout
Contra
RBI Baseball
RC Pro AM
Excitebike
Paper Boy
Tecmo Bowl
Duck Hunt
The track game where you actually run on the track - so ahead of its time
Bubble Bobble (don't judge me)
Ice Hockey
TMNT
Skate or Die
Double Dragon

I was a Sega kid so aside from Goldeneye, most of those games overlapped so I'll save most of my SuperNES games for the Sega division.

 

[tarheel0910]

Mario (Mario 3 is the best but Mario 2 is super duper underrated)

Interesting take on Mario 3. I actually agree with that, but always thought that was more of a hot take. I would have Mario 64 as a close second.

 

[Hark_The_Sound_2010]

Super Mario Brothers
GoldenEye

The finals of this region better be those two, but for shits and giggles I'll also toss in:

Zelda
Duck Hunt
Mike Tyson's Punch Out
Pokemon (GameBoy)
Ice Hockey
Street Fighter

 

[tarheel0910]

Super Mario Brothers
GoldenEye

Zelda
Duck Hunt
Mike Tyson's Punch Out
Pokemon (GameBoy)
Ice Hockey
Street Fighter

Those would probably be my top two in this region if forced to choose, but it's all about matchups. They'll have to be at opposite ends of the bracket. For some reason not everyone has nominated Goldeneye, which is just ridiculous. If it doesn't get the two seed it might face Mario before the finals.

 

[WhatTheHeel?]

I never played on any of the Nintendo consoles, but I think Donkey Kong should be arcade. There have been documentaries made about the arcade version and it was an arcade game first.

 

[toophly1124]

I remember playing Home Alone on my Game Boy and liking it. So I nominate that.

 

[tarheel0910]

I'm going to nominate it too, just because I think it would be funny if it made the field.

 

[dadika13]

Props to everyone for not nominating that commie trash Tetris. Maybe there is hope for this board.

I was going to nominate it, but I think technically it should be in the other category. It was a computer game for a few years before Nintendo. Although it's best known for being a Nintendo game, so it could be acceptable here.

If we want commie trash, the kamala would win
Couldnt resist the derail

 

[coolwaterunc]

I'm nominating Home Alone too. I forgot all about that game. Cinderella story in the making.

 

[coolwaterunc]

Battletoads...was that arcade or NES? I'm going Nintendo, so there's another one.

 

[uncboy10]

Mario Kart and Smash Bros should be represented separately from the Super Mario franchise IMO. Those are the two most popular games from the N64 era.

star Fox
Excitebike
goldeneye
Pokémon red/blue

 

[toophly1124]

Mega Man

 

[toophly1124]

Shit. Still thinking Game Boy but believe there’s a Sega region that it probably better fits. Apologies.

 

[tarheel0910]

Mario Kart and Smash Bros should be represented separately from the Super Mario franchise IMO. Those are the two most popular games from the N64 era.

star Fox
Excitebike
goldeneye
Pokémon red/blue

Remember the region is only eight deep. I didn't want half of it to be Mario games. Need some diversity to keep it interesting.

Damn I loved some RBI Baseball

 

[gteeitup]

punch out
tecmo bowl
blades of steel
double dribble
rbi baseball

 

[toophly1124]

Can’t believe nobody else loved Jordan v Bird like I did.

 

[dadika13]

Can’t believe nobody else loved Jordan v Bird like I did.

I’m gonna save my Jordan game for Sega with Bulls vs Lakers. I was obsessed with that game.

 

[tarheel0910]

You can do both. No need to wait for Sega to pop your Jordan cherry.

 

[uncboy10]

Mario is a juggernaut either way.

Star Fox will be the sleeper, that game is legit

 

[tarheel0910]

Nominations are closed. I'll post the next region soon.

 

[HookUNC75]

I guess I'm the only one that liked Rad Racer.
Also enjoyed Cruisin USA and Cruisin World.

 

[tarheel0910]

Alright. The votes have been counted. The seeding for the region is as follows:

1. Mario
2. Mike Tyson's Punch Out
3. Golden Eye
4. Zelda
5. Duck Hunt
6. TMNT
7. Tecmo Bowl
8. Excitebike

Tiebreakers were used to determine the 6-8 seeds. I will set up a separate thread for votes on the matchups.

 

[dadika13]

Group of death right here. Mike Tyson has to go up against Tecmo in the first round, tough draw for them.
