It's strange that this was the only difficult decision for these brackets.

Re: Round of 16: Clash of the Cartoons
This was a tough one, two game series reaching what is arguably their pinnacle.
Ultimately I voted for Wind Waker (GC) because I believe it has a timelessness that is rare in post 2D gaming that SMG will probably fail to achieve over the same timescale. Those cell shaded graphics alone were a more daring move than anything SMG did and it was a good example of a time when Nintendo pursued artistic vision over other factors. That it ended up dealing with more "adult" themes than both it's "grown-up" sequels also works in its favour.

I feel dirty voting for a Zelda game over a Mario game.
That said, I can't stand Galaxy, while WW is my fave Zelda...which doesn't mean much, but still.

This is true. Super Mario Galaxy 2 is much better than Galaxy, which is why I feel butthurt that Galaxy got further.Slurmee wrote:I liked Super Mario Galaxy 2 better than Wind Waker. From the little of Super Mario Galaxy I've played it's only a downgrade from 2 thus I voted Wind Waker.
Re: Round of 16: Clash of the Cartoons
I never played 2 which is probably one of the main reasons I never supported it here. I'm sure I'd have loved it as I thought 1 was fantastic...Jordan wrote:This is true.

I’ve been waiting for the sun to come up. Waiting for the showers to stop. Waiting for the penny to drop. One time. And I’ve been standing in a cloud of plans. Standing on the shifting sands. Hoping for an open hand. One time.

Yeah, I'm thinking less people played the sequel. The level design was top notch in number 2.Jordan wrote:This is true.
