SumerNivek 05/04/17 5:57:08 AM #5:	I just voted 1987 because that is the Xmas I got my NES. I would have figured 1985 would have won its first match too, but I guess I didn't realize that it was paired up with 1987 (I didn't submit, nor look at the bracket before this contest started). --- "One more thing.

They don't reference that the NES Famicon was released in 1985, even tho it clearly lists it in the "question mark" section when making your picks. I too have it going very far. But the image makes it look like Excite Bike vs Metroid, Dukhunt vs Megaman, Space Harrier vs Castlevania, and Mario vs Zelda. --- "I take a glimpse into time watch the blimp read the world is mine". <cite>STEROLIZER posted [p:878446447] in If 1985 do...

BlueCrystalTear 05/04/17 7:53:37 PM #10:	I'm amazed that anyone would have 1985 winning the whole thing. Probably 80% of the people voting weren't even born yet, so none of them experienced SMB revitalizing the industry and therefore 1985 is of little to no meaning to them. And I'm one of these people. I knew right away that the winner of this contest wasn't going to be an NES or SNES era year for that very reason. As much as this board cherishes the PSX era years, there are many people voting who were babbies at that time and didn't get their start until the PS2 or, hell, even later. I have 2016 winning the whole thing because of recency bias. --- BlueCrystalTear \| GNT BB4 Winner, Winner Chicken Dinner 3DS 4356-4163-4781 X/M: Natalie AS: Allie \| You're living your own life.

Even if you are one of the people who is banking on the significance of the NES (and arguably SMB), you have to consider what it's up against. 1985 never had a chance against "1985 but better". I third this post. Of course 1987 was better vs. '85, since NES(and I think also Sega Master System, correct me if wrong) was only being launched in '85. And IIRC, the original Ninja Gaiden on NES came out that year. Another reason for me to vote '87! I'm not surprised this year is winning over '85, in the poll. I didn't do a bracket, but my guess is that a year in the 90s or 2000s will win. If I had to bet more specifically, my gut feeling is that an early 2000s year(when PS2 was big) will ultimately win this. I also don't think it'd be impossible, if a mid or late 90s year won this contest. --- #BoycottIMDB , & check out these boards: http://www.moviechat.org/ (1 of my 2 fav alternate sites) http://imdb2.freeforums.net/ (other fav IMDB alternate) <cite>DumpsterMcNuggets posted [p:878497014] in If 1985 do...
