#BGE2020 - Round 1 - Pool 6

[This Old Neon]

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!

Smash 4 is outclassed by Ultimate, but still a great game I got hundreds of hours out of.

DK64 still holds up for me. A bit annoying with how much character swapping there is, but it's still good old classic Rare.

Did you intend to vote here as well, or just comment? Noticed you didn't have any votes logged.

I wanted to highlight the underrated DS entry in the Geometry Wars franchise. Purists went bananas over the XBLA ones (for good reason IMO), but the entries on DS and Wii were actually really legit from a design coherence standpoint. Using the stylus to guide your ship around the tiny glowing maps felt really intuitive.

I want to vote for Raiden IV despite never having played it. I just know I would like it...but I think I'll abstain.
