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!

Dragon's Curse was my preferred version of Dragon's Trap. Oddly enough, I had access to both a Master System and a TG16 at this time in my childhood, so I did get to play both, but there was something about the TG16 version that gave it the edge for me.

Also gave a couple of votes for the actually good Astro Boy game on GBA—a beat'em-up developed by Treasure! And one for Sound Shapes, which was punishing and unique and punished me all the way to three platinum trophies.

Resident Evil is all I’m feeling from here...

Wild World shaped what modern animal crossing is. Lots of nostalgic memories of that one.

Shout out to odd ball possibly sexiest platformer Super Princess Peach. Weird game.

Yoshi's Woolly World is the best Yoshi game since Yoshi's Island, it's also a great game.

Yeah, Yoshi's WW would have been my next choice if we had 4 votes.
