Holly shit my picks did really bad . Only 2 of them won (Quake and Megaman X) and 2 of them went to the run offs.

Megaman X is also on Wii U (VC), PS2 and Gamecube (Megaman X collection) and possibly XBox? (Did Megaman X collection get an XBox port?).

Mario Golf is more of a series than a single game ported aroudn the place but it's available on Nintendo 64, Game Boy Colour, Game Boy Advance, Gamecube, Wii (Virtual Console) and 3DS (Both as a cartridge and on Virtual Console).

Grim Fandango is coming to Vita too I think?

River City Ransom is also available on the 3DS eshop iirc.

If we play all the Mortal Kombats and all the Mario Golfs, that makes three (four if you want to count TPA), where we are playing series and not titles.

I don't see this as an issue, but if you want to be more specific, the N64 Mario Golf is on N64, Wii and Wii U so that'd work fine.

It actually features a link up connection using the Transfer Pak with Mario Golf for the GBC, so I would personally count them together myself!

I thought Mortal Kombat Trilogy specifically meant the actual game Mortal Kombat Trilogy, not MK 1, 2 and 3 anyhow.

My only issue is that it will divide the conversation. If no one else has that issue, it is not a problem.

Well, I can see why people started branching out from Trilogy, since it isn't as accessible as the other games.

MK3 and UMK3 are similar enough to Trilogy that cross-discussion should still remain relevant. And, those games are very accessible. Maybe add those as recommended alternatives or something, just to pull the folks that might be considering mk/mk2 to a more similar game?

But yeah, if people start playing Shaolin Monks, things could get out of hand.

for the most part, I think we should focus on one game with the understanding that dudes generally branch out on their own. IE: If we played Quake (the original game) as the focus, but I'm sure a bunch of us will be playing Quake Online. If we played MK Trilogy (the game) I'm sure others might pick 1-3 or whatever, but... yeah. I think the articles should focus on a specific game rather than entire series.

Only one of my suggestions made it, and it won by a landslide(Raiden).

Aww, I was going to play Mortal Kombat: Special Forces and see if anyone noticed.

Clearly the gaming community can't appreciate your eclectic taste.

Can we have a list of who nominated each game in the polls? Would be interesting to see
