Poll
Question: Which of these games is the 2nd BEST FAMICOM GAME? What's left becomes #1!
Option 1: Super Mario Bros. 1 votes: 21
Option 2: Super Mario Bros. 3 votes: 10
Title: The Very Best Famicom Games - Vote for #2 AND #1!
Post by: satoshi_matrix on December 22, 2008, 12:08:32 am
the elimination rounds are over, and now all that's left to do is decide the order in which these games get placed into. If there's a tie, a tie-breaking poll will then be made. We'll continue to do this until all games are numbed!

So get voting! Vote for the game that should take the 10th place!

Are you really planning on doing 24 of these polls?  Why not do another bracket?

Agreed, this is going to be the longest vote in history!

We're not in any hurry are we? Yes, I'm going to do 25 polls, probably each lasting a day or so.
Title: Re: Best Famicom Games - #25!

At least no one voted for Super Mari- OH HELL NO!

It just seems like clutter to me.  And it does very little to reduce the number of ties.

edit: That's a personal comment, not a mod comment.

I think it's fine this way, -- actually, I don't see a better way right now, -- but instead of creating a new thread for each new poll, just edit this thread's poll, eliminating one game each time and resetting the vote count to zero. Keep the polls on a strict voting time limit of like 24 hours, that way people know when a new poll is up -- so they don't miss a poll if they really don't want to.
Title: Re: Best Famicom Games - #25!
Post by: satoshi_matrix on December 22, 2008, 06:28:48 pm
All very good ideas JC. I will be sure to do just that.
Title: Re: Best Famicom Games - #25!
Post by: satoshi_matrix on December 23, 2008, 10:53:56 am
Okay!

So now the polls will last a day each, so be sure to check Famicom World as often as you can! Since most of us will probably be busy with our families, I'll skip over the 25th.

So far, we've decided that

the 25th best game is Return of Mario Bros (FDS)

The poll will now be edited and voting posted deleted.
Title: Re: The Very Best Famicom Games - Vote for #24!
Post by: JC on December 23, 2008, 01:06:34 pm
Hmm...that seems like a strange 25th best game. But what do I know. Maybe it's because it's a rehash of the original, but the original isn't even on the list. Democracy.
Title: Re: The Very Best Famicom Games - Vote for #24!
Post by: satoshi_matrix on December 23, 2008, 02:39:07 pm
Exactly. This list will not reflect my own personal gaming opinions, but rather the overall opinions of the entire community. What more can you ask for? I'm a big Famicom Wars fan, but apparently the community doesn't agree, and it was tossed out almost right away.

I should get a new non-cheapo capture card for x-mas, and I'm thinking of doing some sort of video commentary for this. Any have any suggestions for what I could do?

Title: Re: The Very Best Famicom Games - Vote for #24!
Post by: satoshi_matrix on December 24, 2008, 10:14:48 am
Since the results for #24 are all over the place, I've edited the poll to only include those games that are tied with two votes each. Hopefully doing this will result in declaring a 24th slot.

Must be an SMF bug.  I had to type in one new entry, hit preview, type in the next new one, hit preview, and repeat.  It seemed to jumble up the order as I was trying to get it to work, so I reset the 3 votes that were there.

The results seem spot on. I keep thinking, "But Hino Tori is such a great game," or "But Tetris is such a great game." And then I look at what's left on the list and pretty much realize the ones that remain are better...well, except for a couple that suck and need to go away. :P

That would actually be nice.  You could even put it on FW's youtube page (or did it get hacked again?).  I would make it simple, maybe two parts.  Show some gameplay footage while you talk about why it was so good.

crazy... I can't believe Mario 3, Hoshi no Kirby, and Sweet Home are getting votes. All three are such fantastic games, yet they're losing to Castlevania 1, Metroid, and Doki Doki Panic? the last three are good as well, but...

Thats the way the cookie crumbles. I think this is great as it gives the entire community input. Its whatever Famicom World decides, not what any single one of us thinks. I'm sure we all would have a different order and probably even different games in the final 25. So try not to get too upset, just go with it.

Update time. And so far, we have

#25 Return of Mario Bros. (FDS)
#24 Hino Tori - Houou Hen (FC)
#23 Tetris, Tengen version (FC)
#22 Holy Diver (FC)
#21 Antartic Adventure (FC)

yes, Castlevania should be out soon, but my honest opinion is it's more deserving of a higher position than Rockman 5. regardless, Rockman 2 will certainly do very well in the final lineup.

I'd like to kick out Ninja Gaiden now...
Title: Re: The Very Best Famicom Games - Vote for #14!
Post by: JC on January 15, 2009, 08:42:32 pm
You know what's weird? Anytime someone mentions kicking out a game, a few members dutifully vote for it. Ninja Gaiden has done really great up to now, but because you mentioned it, it somehow has 4 votes already. :P

There were two votes for it before he made the comment.  I think it's just next up (or close to next) on the chopping block.

I went with Metroid, though.  It's an excellent concept, but the execution is somewhat poor.  Metroid II and Super Metroid do the concept justice.  This is the same reasoning I used to vote out Castlevania and not Castlevania III.

2 were already there, 1 was from me.

Dutiful FW members FTW!

I don't think it would work for the very good titles, though.


Maybe I'll stop manipulating results... maybe.  :D

Manuel mentionned to take out ninja gaiden, and from looking at that list I do have to agree. I was never really close to the ninja gaiden series, and I played it a few times and find it...meh. So my vote goes for Ninja Gaiden! :o

My mind boggles how Doki Doki Panic could possibly survive over Ninja Gaiden and Bionic Commando. The world stopped making sense.
Title: Re: The Very Best Famicom Games - Vote for #14!
Post by: JC on January 16, 2009, 12:29:38 pm
I'd guess members have a nostalgic connection with Doki through NES SMB2, plus a respect for it as having been the original version. I'd think some are just fascinated with the Nazi imagery of Hitler no Fukkatsu. I think Ninja Gaiden is cool, but I don't have any care if it stays or goes, but it's definitely going down this time.

I happen to think this poll is great. A list like this has been lacking for long time. The only thing similar I can find is from Famitsu, but that's different. People that played the Famicom when it was current have a different perspective.

The peoples votes have spoken I guess. :P And by the way this poll is great and all, but I think you shouldnt be allowed to see the vote results UNTIL you have voted yourself. Notice how its always the same games who get the most votes and all. I bet some of the people here who voted were easily convinced of what to vote for by the results they saw. :-\ :P

Which becomes #9 - The impossible-to-find, blazing-fast-and-next-to-impossible-to-beat Summer Carnival '92 Recca or the FDS game that became the oddity that is US Super Mario Bros. 2, Yume Kojo Doki Doki Panic?

Okay! With a total of 27 votes, I think its about time to announce the #9th place winner. Narrowly beating out Recca by a single vote, the #9th best Famicom game is Yume Kojo Doki Doki Panic (FDS).

That makes the list to be:


#25 Return of Mario Bros. (FDS)
#24 Hino Tori - Houou Hen (FC)
#23 Tetris, Tengen version (FC)
#22 Holy Diver (FC)
#21 Antartic Adventure (FC)
#20 Balloon Fight (FC)
#19 Otocky (FDS)
#18 Sweet Home (FC)
#17 Rockman 5 Blues no Wana! (FC)
#16 Akumajō  Dracula (FC & FDS)
#15 Top Secret: Hitler's Revival [Bionic Commando] (FC)
#14 Ninja Ryukenden [Ninja Gaiden] (FC)
#13 Mother [Earthbound Zero] (FC)
#12 Joy Mecha Fight (FC)
#11 Metroid (FDS)
#10 Splatterhouse Wanpaku Grafitti (FC)
#9 Yume Kojo Doki Doki Panic (FDS)

I'm not one to double post, but I think I should here. So far, we've got 18 votes. The previous poll got 27. That means that there are nine users that haven't vote yet. Please do so! These polls are not the same without as many people voting as possible! I'll leave this one open for another day or so before moving on or possibly doing another tie breaker.

When it gets to the last 2 or 3, do you get to vote for your favourite Big Brother style?

This is a great idea, especially if repeated each year - it would track trends to some degree, or at least it'd be interesting to see shifts in opinions.

The tiebreaker rounds are a little screwy. If Recca is chosen as number eight, Kirby should automatically become number seven. Then we go to a vote for number six.

I don't agree with this at all. These tiebreakers are the same as the regular polls, just with two votes. We all decide what games get placed where collectively.

So now there are 20 votes. We've got up to 27, so those holding out, please vote!

I wonder if now its a battle between the hardcore first generation of games (Zelda, SMB1, Contra) versus the later, more fleshed out with graphics and sounds games.. (SMB3, Castlevania 3)...

Are we judging by fondness of nostalgiac games or by superior gameplay, music and graphics?

That's not a genre, it's just people covering or writing songs about Rockman. Oh and those covers with vocals going right over the melody is stupid as hell. I agree the Rockman music is great, but Mario music is just as good IMO. SMB3 is so much more diverse in terms of level design and game play though, ans there is just a lot more to SMB3.

I agree with that, most games are too easy these days.  And Rogles put Rockman's difficulty level in the right category ;)

Super Mario Bros. 1 and 3 are easily top 5 FC games!
He totally called that!  I wonder which one will be #1...
This was a great idea!

I don't understand one thing though, how come you put in Rockman 2 and 5 instead of just one of them?  Or all of them..

When this all started we had a chance to nominate games. Maybe no one nominated them. I think there was an earlier elimination round to narrow it to 25 games, too. They may have been here. I'll have to look for that thread, it's gotta be here somewhere...

As most people here know, I'm an absolute Rockman nut. I looooooooooooove the Rockman/Megaman series so much. All nine classic series games are among my favorite games ever. Megaman 2 is the pinnacle of the series because it improved upon what Capcom did in Rockman 1 while retaining everything that made it good. Every other Rockman game is good because it follows the same formula of Rockman 2. Even though it looks like this is where the train stops for Rockman, it's still #1 in my book.

Zelda is still in there it defined the action RPG genre, which gives it a historical importance.  Unlike many historically important video games, though, Zelda is still fun to play.  It has aged very, very well. 

This can also be said for SMB1.  There are better platformers out there, but SMB1 is still a fun game.

Zelda is awesome; it definitely deserves to be in the top 3. It is the ultimate fantasy adventure on the famicom; the Hyrule Fantasy! haha. I can see that it may be too hard for some, but it is definitely a pioneer. Many good things have came from zelda too! One being the welfare of Nintendo as hardcore zelda fans keep buying new games, like me! I'm the guy who bought that black gamecube that came with the zelda collection disk. Zelda also continues to give on the wii, if you know what I mean ;).

Wait a sec....how do you guys want to do the final vote? After Zelda is out, it will be between SMB1 and SMB3 for second overall place. Whatever one gets second, the other would automatically get first, right?

The other way to do it is to put all 25 games back on the list and give a final round asking what the single best game on the system is of all the entries. Either way, I think SMB3 will win easily, but I'm just asking here.

Smb3 is definitely the one of the funnest games on the console. However, the challenge fades over time. Someone needs to make a hack; something along the lines of smb2j. It can be called Super Mario Bros. 3.2 Japan version for Super Players!!! hahaha. Man, that would be really cool. :D It's kinda strange if you think about it; there are many smb1 hacks but no smb3 hacks. You'd think that the obvious favorite would get more attention. Maybe it is due to the fact that is more complex than smb1. idk.

I think you guys are confused. This last poll is to determine which is the SECOND BEST Famicom game, not the first. The game you DON'T vote for is what you are declaring to be #1.

If you think Super Mario Bros. 1 is BETTER THAN Super Mario Bros. 3, then you would vote for Super Mario Bros. 3

Get it?
The way the voting looks right now, SMB1 is second and SMB3 is first.

If enough of you guys want, I'll reset the voting so you can re-cast your vote.

I'll be starting my write up soon. If anyone would like to add their two cents (maybe a good solid paragraph or two) on any particular game, please PM me with your words. I want to do my write-up with each game being expressed from my point of view and then a fourm members, sort of how IGN has another writer add their opinion for the last paragraph for a lot of their reviews.

Doing it this way gives the reader a broader scope of the game as it wouldn't just be what one person thinks. I'll credit any contributors.
