ROUND 2 - LEAGUE PHASE

Each commentor has 7 points to split between 3 games of their choosing. You MUST choose 3 games or your vote is void. How you weight the points is entirely up to you - but 3 games must have an allocation. So 4-2-1, 3-3-1, 5-1-1, 3-2-2 etc. If the allocation is more or less than 7 points the vote is void, so please double check your scoring.

Pokémon Red and Pokémon Blue (GameBoy) 2 Points
Mario Kart: Double Dash (GameCube) 2 Points

I cant stand Pokémon Gold and Silver. I like them more than HeartGold and SoulSilver but not by much. For someone pegged as a Nintendo fan I really dislike a lot of their games :/

The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (SNES) - 2 points
Pokemon Gold & Silver (GBC) - 3 points
Pokemon Blue & Red (GB) - 2 points

Hmm.. tough round.. The two best entries in the Pokemon franchise, the best top-down Zelda game, arguably the best Mario RPG and the best Mario Kart after MK8..

Conkers Bad Fur Day N64 - 5pts - Probably the best 3D platformer ever!!
Mario Kart Double Dash GC - 1pt
Zelda A link to the past Snes - 1pt

Pokemon Gold and Silver - 3points
Zelda: A link to the Past - 2 points
Conkers Bad Fur Day - 2 points

@Dichotomy What dya think about this group? @octane has already pointed out how crazy tough it is.

I'm getting in early with my picks and wont be on to comment tomorrow so the next update from me will be the result in little under 46 hours time.

Mario Kart Double Dash - 4 points (my favourite MK, yoshis circuit, DK mountain and Baby Mario nascar track are all legendary made for this game)
Conkers Bad Fur Day - 2 points
Zelda Link to the past - 1 point

That's tough scoring, Pokemon red/blue deserve a mention - awesome game which made jrpgs approachable and talked about by all. But I've voted with my heart and Double dash was a constant in my GC, the poo monster from Conker and obviously link to the past was sooo good. Tough group this should be interesting.

A Link to the Past - 5pts
Pokémon Red/Blue - 1pt
MK Double Dash - 1pt

Conker's Bad Fur Day - 5 points
The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past - 1 point
Pokemon Gold & Silver - 1 point

Conker's Bad Fur Day is (in my opinion) Rare's last big hurrah for an Nintendo system. During a time where games were scarce on the 64, it was Rare that would always step in and take one for the team with their innovative and quirky style that shined the most during those days.

This could have been a very hard group but I have no real love for Pokemon

Conkers Bad Fur day is possibly Race's finest work and so anti Nintendo that it almost deserves to win on that alone and who doesn't love scouser dung beetles 😃. This alongside probably the best entry in the Mario Kart series before all those bikes joined in, so you can see where this is going

Conkers Bad Fur Day 4 points
Mario Kart 2 points
Zelda 1 point

@themcnoisy It's actually not the hardest of rounds for me as Pokemon was never a series I got in to. I found the previous round harder, although I did have to rule out Conker in this one despite having fond memories of it. My main problem is there are three groups gone and none of my choices have been up yet, so I'm waiting to see them pitted against each other in a cruel battle

Zelda A link to the past Snes (3)
Paper Mario The Thousand Year Door GC (2)
Mario Kart Double Dash GC (2)

Ouch what a brutal grouping!

Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door - 3 points
Zelda: A Link to the Past - 2 points
Pokémon Gold/Silver - 2 points

@themcnoisy I love DK Mountain! My favourite Mario Kart course.

Gold/Silver 5
Blue/Red 1
A Link to the Past 1

@Dichotomy I've just checked and you do have cross contamination in the groups! Some tough choices ahead for you.

@mookysam It is a boss track! Up there with Wondermile Ridge Racer type 4, Gare de Europe Wipeout 2097 and Dam Busters India Driveclub for me.
