Hey team!

I just wanted to run a few exclusion by you in the category to see what you think about my interpretation of Pluvius's intentions.
  • Ace Combat 5: The Unsung War (2004, PS2) - nominated by Pluvius - a direct port is apparently bundled with the Ace Combat 7 digital deluxe edition on PSN... exclude?
  • Metal Marines (1993, SNES) - nominated by Pluvius - this is (was) apparently available on the Wii and Wii U Virtual Console in Japan and the Wii Virtual Console in North America, although we all know what happened to the Virtual Console... exclude?
  • Star Wars: Rogue Squadron (1998, N64/PC) - nominated by Kreegs - the PC version is currently available on Steam... exclude?
  • Scorched Earth (1991, PC) - nominated by VictorViper - currently (still) available to download from the developer's website... exclude?

LOL. Exclude, yep. All of em (IMO). My single nomination is invalid! Haha.

If Metal Marines was available on Wii U then it can still be purchased there.

If those are all accurate, then none of them should be in the poll.

That would need to be excluded as well then.

I can't even remember what, if anything, I nominated as I kept struggling to think of games that didn't get some kind of digital release.
Might have picked the original super monkey Ball as it was only on the GameCube

Yeah thus why I mentioned it.

Shame (But understandable) as it was me basically nominating it as a huge fuck you to Bamco for de-listing it for saying "It's old go play the sequel"

Yeah, that one surprised me when I was double-checking the noms. I saw "PS4" and thought there must be some mistake. But no, only the sequel in the NA shop.

I'll add it to the list of removals above.

Another one of Pluvius's nominations is available on some unofficial "play old games online" site but I didn't mark it for removal since, if we were counting piracy as a digital service, pretty much every game is available. :lol:
