USFIV is the definitive edition of the (currently) greatest fighting game ever made. Easy choice among this competition, easy choice among stiffer opponents.

Kid Icarus Uprising is probably one of my top 10 games. It had tons of content, played excellently and required a lot of skill. Really awesome game.

A Link Between Worlds is only held back by the decision to make the map the same map from ALTTP, if not for that it would be truely excellent.

Damn, finally a roguelike, but I haven't played it! D:<

Red Dead
One of the few shooting based games I loved. Story was fantastic as well.

Zelda
For a Zelda game standard it was decent compare to a normal game standard is was great.

A Link Between Worlds. Couldn't put it down. I even finished it twice, which for me is unheard of these days.

Red Dead Redemption is the current creative pinnacle of Rock Star's open world vision. Ultra Street Fighter IV is the current pinnacle of the entire fighting game genre. Easy votes there.

I also voted for Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow. I actually think this game is better than Symphony of the Night, so it's nice to get a chance to vote for it here, since SotN was buried in a strong bracket.

I might have voted for A Link between Worlds if I had had a chance to spend more time with it. But alas, my 3DS time is almost entirely consumed with Picross.

It feels so weird seeing Pikmin 3 up here and not 2. I thought 3 was the weakest in the franchise.

[Jordan]

Abstained from voting. I want to play Pikmin 3 and Aria of Sorrow before considering my options here.

Hated Kid Icarus Uprising because of (imo) the unplayable controls.

Loved TWEWY though, oddly, despite also having difficult (though imo workable) controls.

The World Ends with You: a case study. Nominated by 3 people, with a combined nomination weight of 17.55. Seeded 54th in the Top 128. Zero votes.
