Yea, but it's such an OLD game I don't think many here don't even remember it being in the arcades.

lol Windows Solitaire.

I'd have to go with Street Fighter 2 being the strongest. It is a little hard to see its impact since the fighting game genre is basically an endangered species nowadays, but Street Fighter 2 was the first truly great fighting game, it was hugely influential not just in the fighting game genre but competitive multiplayer generally and it is shocking that it is not in the Hall of Fame already.

I'm surprised DK is winning the poll because other than the historical aspect that it was the first success of Miyamoto and Nintendo, it wasn't that great of a game.

Also ignoring that if it weren't for DK, Nintendofaqs wouldn't even be a thing because Nintendo would essentially have been no bigger in the video game market then Mattel or Coleco.

The HoF is about impact, not necessarily a game being good.

Really Super Mario Bros and Legend of Zelda cemented their reputation. Not the weird gorilla sex game. Although now that I read up a little about it, it was the first game that could be said to have a clear beginning middle and end story which is pretty influential.

Street Fighter II was a better game though.

The only thing MK had going for it was awful looking blood/fatalities.

Well then you should probably find a site that caters to your needs then.

You quoted the whole conversation.

He was surprised it was winning. I reminded him nintenfaqs. You came in and tired to explain the deeper purpose of the prize and not the poll. I reminded you this is a poll. Then you try to say I need to go somewhere else.

I'm so confused.

All of those are deserving but I chose Mortal Kombat due to its impact it had on society and if I remember correctly began/had a major influence due to its violence the rating system we have today.

Because apparently those are the only games that needed the japanese version, despite not being the only japanese games on the list.

The fact that FF7 and Pokemon aren't in already is frankly mind boggling, so I'd have to go with either of them.

Exactly from all over the world. The world has about 7 billion people. 14k out of that is basically a gnats shit. A fat cry from what it was in the 90's where the genre was about as popular as FPS is today.

Well, The FGC mainly became popular because of the Arcade scene; and when those died out, everything went online/Twitch live streams.

While it isn't an 'endangered species' so to say, most FG nowadays doesn't sell the numbers as a FPS (CoD, Halo) or Platformers or Mobile Game Apps.
