Mario kart wii belongs in the trash not this bracket...

The problem is it may have just been nominated once.

These are all the games that got 0.03.

If you have nominated less than 33 games then your nomination games haven't been in any rounds yet.

It's quiet possible that it's just been nominated once.

Mario Kart Wii was pretty decent. Certainly not trash. Anyways, I'm not voting for any of these games.

I had really mixed feelings about Mario Kart WIi. On one hand, it had great online for a Wii game. On the other hand, I liked Mario Kart DS better in every single way. I really hated a lot of the changes they made in between the two games. I still had some fun though.

This is the hardest choice I had to make thus far overall. There are a lot of amazing games on here. In my opinion, PoR is the best Fire Emblem.

KOF13 is a beautiful game and easily gets my vote.

The graphics are great and the music is good, especially the alternate soundtrack.

I'd say that it's dlc practices are shit (like all games in the genre nowadays) and the learning curve is a bit too steep.

Oh man tough round, lots of goodies here.

I had to go with Monster Hunter and Kingdom hearts, both really good entries in their series. Zelda II was great as well. I liked Path of Radiance, but I prefer Radiant Dawn and Awakening over it.

Doom II was my easy first vote.

For my second vote, I chose Zelda II, which is a woefully under-rated entry in the franchise. This is a wonderful platforming action RPG, from back before Symphony of the Night redefined the genre.

For my third choice, I went with Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance. It's easily just as good as the Wii entry, maybe slightly better, and alongside that entry (its direct sequel), the pinnacle of the series.

Mario Kart Wii had terrible online (having "Good" online for the Wii doesn't make it a good experience for those used to proper online experiences), uninspiring tracks that were far too wide. Battle mode was completely ruined, the graphics were abysmal even for the time.

It was neither a good Mario Kart, a good Wii Game, or even a good racer. Hopefully it dies here

Doom II got my only vote in here. I love Zelda 2 but can't say that was as good of a game as Doom II...
