ZeroSignal620 03/28/21 8:25:02 PM #74:	Best Game of 2017 https://www.bracketmaker.com/tmenu.cfm?1&tid=468856 Ran: January 2018 Overall top seed: Nier Automata 1 seeds: Nier Automata, Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Persona 5, Cuphead Final Four: Nier Automata, Breath of the Wild, Persona 5, Super Mario Odyssey Ultimate Loser: Golf Story Championship: Breath of the Wild defeated Mario Odyssey 21-18 2017... the tournament that had a handful of small delays due to work, including a 3 day field exercise in the middle of nowhere in early February. 2017 was a big year for gaming, due to the release of the Nintendo Switch. However, when the nominations were done, the Switch could only obtain one #1 seeded game and that was Breath of the Wild getting the second-most number of total points. The first? Nier Automata. The first Nier managed a #6 seed in 2010 and still made the Elite Eight; now it's successor was ready to run the gauntlet. Meanwhile Persona 5 had a huge following here and easily snatched up the 3rd #1 seed. Finally, Cuphead edged Mario Odyssey for the final #1 spot and would have a chance to prove it was deserving of said seed with a potential Cuphead/Mario matchup in the Elite Eight, if both games made it there. 2017 would also be the final year a Wii U and PS3 game made the bracket, as Breath of the Wild and Persona 5 had representation there. Also in a rare surprise, Star Fox 2 would get released on the mini SNES for the first time in America, therefore 19 years after the console stopped releasing new games in America, the Super Nintendo would have a game in the 2017 tournament. Only three double-digit seeds won in round 1: #10 seeds The Evil Within 2 and Little Nightmares got a win each, and #12 seed Divinity: Original Sin II managed to get to round 3 before losing with dignity against Breath of the Wild. The rest of the matches in round 1 favored the higher seed each time. So how did those #1 seeds do? Persona 5 made easy work out of Outlast 2, Wolfenstein II, and Metroid 2 (Samus Returns), outscoring all three a combined 36-10. It sealed the deal with a 19-7 win over Xenoblade 2 for the first semifinal spot. Breath of the Wild did the same with Butterfly Soup, Injustice 2, and Divinity: Original Sin II, and then beat Tales of Berseria 21-10 for the second semifinal slot. Cuphead managed a shutout in round 1 and put up 66% on some Life is Strange DLC, but then ran into an Aloy-sized brick wall as Horizon Zero Dawn scored the upset 14-11. In that region's Elite Eight, Mario Odyssey embarrassed Horizon 20-8 for the 3rd semifinal slot. Finally, Nier Automata meant business. Don't believe me? Look at these scores... 14-3 over Dujanah 17-3 over Nioh 15-2 over Uncharted 2: The Lost Legacy 18-9 over Resident Evil 7 Automata outscored its first three opponents 46-8 and managed to put up 66% on Biohazard, earning the series its first Final Four appearance. It looked like Square was finally going to get the win it longed for all these years. However, there's just one problem: Some of us tend to forget where we are. Welcome to Nintendo 8, folks. Please enjoy your stay, there's also discussion topics about wrestling, politics, anime, and more Nintendo. Automata would have the battle of a lifetime with Mario Odyssey, with both games exchanging leads multiple times in the 24 hour span. The end result was Mario stunning the overall #1 seed 21-20 and advancing to the finals, the 4th Mario 3D platformer to do so. On the other side of the bracket, the Hylian Hammer made easy work out of Persona 5; don't let the 23-18 score fool you, this match was never really that close. In the first ever all-Nintendo final, Link and Mario kept it close nearly the entire time. However, Breath of the Wild would be too much to handle and the Zelda series wins its 2nd GotY championship with a 21-18 win. Looking at this bracket now, there are a few things that surprise me, knowing how this board reacts to such games... Hollow Knight losing in round 2 Trails in the Sky losing in round 1 Splatoon 2 losing in round 1 All in all, the 2017 tournament was fine, although the lack of upsets was a little disappointing.
