This round has already been interesting as the top games secure their spots. Some of the other games never had a chance, but it's nice to see the discussion nevertheless.

Nintendo land was a really fun pack in game. Did a good job of showing off the possibilities of the Wii U pad. Luigi's mansion was very fun with friends /family as was the Mario tag one. Definitely not a game I'd pick for BGE though

Speaking of pack in games it's a shame 1,2 switch didn't come packed in with the Switch as it was fun but not worth very much as a standalone game. Was amazed by the game makes you guess how many balls in the box as the rumble felt so realistic was super impressed.

The rumble balls is still something I'd really like to try, but have no interest in getting this game for more than $20. Pack in would have been great, though I guess the Switch didn't really need it, and they've sold 2.5 million copies of the game now.

No console needs a pack-in title but it certainly helps add value to a new console sale and gives the user something to try and show off to their friends and family which may generate extra sales. Wii Sports could easily have been a standalone title but it was a great game to sell the console with as it got non-gamers giving the Wii a go and enjoying it so much they would go out and get their own Wii

I thought this too. I remember reading it on the poll before we voted. There's no way to check after we vote though. Could next round we have it mention on the forum and or the site official right up.

Also why did we get 2 votes if only one advanced I think that confused me too.
