Welcome to the #BGE2020 Elimination Round Lower Bracket!
Each game in the lower bracket is still seeded based on its performance in the two opening rounds of pools! Every game in the lower bracket has already been defeated by another game in a 1-on-1 poll to get to this point. This is their chance to claw their way back into the main event... but the stakes are high. The games that lose in these polls are out of the tournament for good! The games that survive will face the next crop of upper bracket losers in the next round.
Polls are updated weekly, typically on Saturday... or Sunday or Monday. Check back throughout the week to make sure you don't miss a vote!
HOW TO VOTE
This is easy. You only get one vote per poll. The game with the most votes wins. In the event of a tie, the higher seed advances, so don't get complacent!
Now this is a very interesting matchup. These games are both early exemplars of their respective genres.
Bomberman spawned a lot of followers, but it's hard to give it influence points for that because they were all Bomberman games lol.
Kid Icarus was also good at the time but didn't make a huge impact—contemporaries like Metroid and Castlevania had far more influence. Even later Kid Icarus properties were more along the lines of "oh yeah, Kid Icarus was a thing" nostalgia-bait.
Passing for now.

Hmm. I like Bomberman games, but have never played the original. And Kid Icarus has a homicide-inducing room near the end of the game where you cannot avoid dying when entering a certain room from above save by pure luck, so you have to keep reloading, over and over. I don't know how people put up with that prior to Nesticle or VC save states.
