Each game is randomly seeded into pools using the sequence generator at Random.org. There's no seeding, no ranking, and no preference or prioritization.
The results of the pools will determine how each game stacks up in the elimination rounds, coming... realistically in early 2021.
HOW TO VOTE
Voting is ranked, but it's not super intuitive, so listen up.
You have 6 total votes to distribute.
You can only select up to 3 options.
You can only give each option up to 3 votes.
NOTE: The number you pick is not the RANK of your choice (i.e. 1st, 2nd, 3rd), but the number of VOTES you're giving it.
The more votes (bigger numbers) a game gets, the better for that game.
EXAMPLES
You could pick three games and order them by giving them 3, 2, and 1 votes.
If you like three games equally, you could give them 2, 2, and 2 votes.
If you only like two games, you could give them 3 and 3 votes (or 3 and 2, etc.).
This gives you a lot of granularity for how you assign your votes and thereby a lot of influence over which games can do well. Use your power wisely!
3 votes for NSMB Wii - really liked these 2D Mario platform games
2 votes for Cave Story - first version of this platformer I played before getting it on console
Max votes to Romance XI, which is not just a series-fan vote—it's legit one of the best entries in the series. Huge world-map-scale battles and active development all on the same screen. Madness.
Middle vote for Ni no Kuni, which is a bulky traditional RPG with elements from Dragon Quest and Pokemon, beautifully produced by Studio Ghibli, great voice acting, fantastic music, and frankly, some relatively recent nostalgia (which the game is carefully designed to spark).
Last vote for Frog Fractions, which is a masterpiece obviously, but I feel bad for shafting Cave Story, Uncharted, and especially The Battle of Olympus.

3 votes for Uncharted. I’ve platinumed it twice I liked it so much. 2 for Battle of Olympus...great game but too hard for me so I never beat it. And 1 for Thief. A game that made sneaking fun (and sneaking usually isn’t fun for me anyway)
I never thought I would feel this way, but now I know. Now I know. I never thought I would see things as I see them now, but now I know. I never thought I would hurt so bad, but now I know. Now I know.
