Didn't need to bat an eyelid. Persona 4: Golden is worth the price of a Vita alone. It's been a long time since I've so engrossed in a game like that. I'm forcing myself not to play it again for fear of another 100 hours seeping out of my life.

Although I prefer Persona 3, I still have endless positive feelings about Persona 4. I can't say enough good things about it. This version introduces a character that many dislike, but it's still nevertheless the definitive version. I loved it, and it pretty much singlehandedly staved off any feelings of buyer's remorse I might have had over purchasing a Vita. What a trip of a game.

Team Fortress II and R-Type have advanced to the Top 32.

Wow, this was a tight bracket. If only Kanti were here, Persona probably would have squeezed through. If only. TF2 and R-Type are certainly deserving games, but it seems like RPG support evaporates at this late stage of the contest.

R-type got any chance in hell making it past the top 32?

R-type got any chance in hell making it past the top 32?

That depends on what game it stacks up against. It has strong (and deserving) support here, and it's the only shmup left in the contest.

Is it the last ranked game left in the contest? Aka does it have to go up against Prime?

Interesting question! I like the way you think. The last-ranked game left in the contest is Link's Awakening, which will go against Metroid Prime. The second-last is Castlevania, which is still in a tie-breaker right now, so R-Type's match-up will depend on whether that gets through or not.
