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!

Not a strong bracket for me. I gave 2 votes to the seminal Canabalt, one of the pioneers of the endless runner genre that has since been thoroughly commercialized by the likes of the predatory Nintendo entry about Mario. Also cast a single vote each for Nioh and Zero Escape.

Robobot was one of the only Kirby games I've really enjoyed in a long time. Cute game. It was also basically my only entertainment besides my laptop for the first week or so I lived in Seattle as I waited for the rest of my things to arrive. Fond memories of playing that on an air mattress in an empty apartment.
