Gonna go chalk for Mario, GoldenEye, Zelda.

This 2/7 matchup is intense. I lean toward games you can play with your friends (GoldenEye being a great example) so because of that I'm going with the 7 seed Tecmo. Long live Bo Jackson and Eagles #12.

This 2/7 match up could have been the finals. Seems unfair to either one of them.

Mario (although the track creation feature in Excitebike was awesome)

MTPO (Bo Jackson and Lawrence Taylor would not be pleased)

These two games were pure wackness and I will not vote for either and instead will name Contra as the winner of this matchup.

Zelda is the most overrated video game in the history of video games. Duck Hunt wins.

Mario and GoldenEye - both of those are no contests and I look forward to their matchup in the regional final.

Punch Out/Tecmo Bowl is real close, I'll go Punch Out

Zelda was cool, but Duck Hunt was unique because of the gun as the controller, so for that reason I'm going Duck Hunt

 

[Grayhead]

Mario
Tyson
Golden eye
Zelda ( even though duckhunt involves guns)

Oh, and bacon

Calling Goldeneye pure wackness is such a bad take, it makes me think @TarHeelNation11 hacked your account.

Alright, admittedly, I never played Golden Eye. I know the game though. Meh. But TMNT was super wack. Anything ninja turtles is super wack.

Point remains, Contra beats the shit out of both of those.

I should have mentioned in the original post that I will only vote in the event of a tie. As the head of the committee, I still reserve the right to tell you if you get your pick wrong.

#3 Golden Eye vs #6 TMNT

#4 Zelda vs #5 Duck Hunt

I didn't play Nintendo (one of the few systems I didn't) so my votes are based on what my college roommate played. I guess this is akin to head coaches passing their coaches poll ballot to their assistant coaches.

#1 Mario
#7 Tecmo Bowl (I can't vote for an arcade adaption)
#3 Golden Eye
#4 Zelda

This region was wild. Some blow outs and some close ones. Some experts are calling the Punch Out vs Tecmo the game of the century. Tecmo overcame a huge deficit to take it into overtime, but ultimately fell short.

Mario wins 10-0
Punch Out wins 6-5
Goldeneye wins 9-0
Zelda wins 6-4

“Wait…what’s this?…here comes Contra onto the floor in an apparent protest of being left out of the tournament!”

I suspect Russian interference on the Punch Out / Tecmo Bowl outcome.
