#BGE2020 - Round 2 - Pool 26

Post by 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! :neon:

Metroid Fusion is one of the best games in the series. Nice and atmospheric, and surprisingly evocative on that tiny GBM screen.

I agree that Metroid Fusion is the best Metroid game. It’s intense and even creepy. Also had to give some love to classic Wizardry.
I’ve been waiting for the sun to come up. Waiting for the showers to stop. Waiting for the penny to drop. One time. And I’ve been standing in a cloud of plans. Standing on the shifting sands. Hoping for an open hand. One time.

Cast 2 votes each for Wario Land 3 and Metroid Fusion. I've completed neither but like what I've played of both. I'll knock them out some day.

Still casting probably the only votes for Atic Atac. I really love it. As I said before, it was the surprising hidden gem for me on Rare Replay.
You got BOOST power!

Metroid Fusion gets full vote. And so does Wario Land 3 although 2 votes would've been enough

Glad to see Metroid Fusion getting love, absolutely fantastic title and they did an amazing job with the atmosphere and tension within that game.
Never would have thought a linear Metroid title would work but there it is.
