#BGE2020 - Round 2 - Pool 1

[This Old Neon]

Welcome to the second round of #BGE2020 pools!

Each game is randomly seeded into pools using the sequence 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... realistically in early 2021.

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!

Super Mario 3D World (3)
Probably the most underrated Super Mario game ever. Its not a masterpiece but its still very very very good.

Tetris DS (3)
Was considering giving this a 2 but its just too much fun and it was perfect for the DS.

Legend of Mana was a strange, kind of disappointing PS1 outing at the time. Square was making a lot of really strange stuff outside of the FF series at that time (heck, including the FF series), but I think it has aged well.

The Last of Us is one of the best games I’ve ever played. Phantasy Star III is the wurst Phantasy Star game but that still makes it a good game compared to non-Phantasy Star games.

3D World is super good and is long overdue for a Switch port. Surprised that hasn't happened yet.

3D World is super good and is long overdue for a Switch port. Surprised that hasn't happened yet.

Hopefully the rumors are true and it's coming later this year.

3D World is all well and good, but I would trade the ability to ever play the game again on any platform for a Switch port of Galaxy instead.
