Welcome to the first round of #BGE2020 pools!

Each game is randomly seeded into pools using the set 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 later this year.

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!

If you have questions, ask before voting!

Mega Man 9 is not only a modern throwback to the great early entries in a great series—it is itself a great entry in that series on its own merits. Capcom went with a hard-line NES style but the game didn't feel like a retro knockoff.

Lolo 2 and MM9 for me. Both outstanding games in their own respective ways.

Mega Man 9 is my sole vote. I haven't actually played any of the others, but I'm pretty sure MM9 would get my vote even if I'd played them all. One of my all-time favorites. Wouldn't mind if it won the whole thing.

Everyone who has voted for it so far as given it maximum votes. Pretty strong showing out of the gate!
