Weekly video game franchise DEATH BATTLE! [Week 1 - Nintendo *Pokémon Wins!*]
 

Weekly Video Game Franchise DEATH BATTLE! [Nintendo]





Welcome one and all to the first week of Franchise DEATH BATTLES where we are going to show what video game franchise PC likes the most! This will take a couple of weeks/months to complete, and thus, you will get to choose between much video game franchises to see your favourites! Now, if you'd like to see what this is all about, feel free to read the rules below:

Spoiler:
- Every week, there will be a poll attached, with different video games. Each thread will have different video games from different franchises and from different companies like Nintendo, Sega, Capcom, and so on.
- You are not restricted to one vote - you can vote as many video game favourites as you like!
- In the event of a tie at the end of the week, I, Aura Blackquill will have the tie-breaking vote, just to have a clear winner!
- Frequent voters will receive an emblem featuring the winning video game at the end!
- Feel free to explain who you voted for, and why on this thread!
- Any questions? Feel free to ask me in VMs or PMs!


So, as said, this week will focus on the nintendo franchises, so choose your favourite nintendo series of games, and the winner will be posted on Thursday, January 9th!

Go SSB :D

blue January 2nd, 2014 2:54 PM

There are many Nintendo series that I've loved and played for years now, but Pokémon will always remain my favourite.

thedestinedblade January 2nd, 2014 3:43 PM

Ha, you even have the Fatal Frame series up there. I might be the only who actually votes for them.

Voted for FE, Mother/Earthbound, SSB, Pokemon, and Fatal Frame.

Hiatus January 2nd, 2014 5:04 PM

Voted for Kirby, F-Zero, Star Fox, Mario, Legend of Zelda, Super Smash Brothers, Kid Icarus, Donkey Kong, and of course, Pokémon. Would've voted for some of the others, but I'm not too familiar with them, though.

Sheep January 2nd, 2014 6:58 PM

Animal Crossing, Kirby, and Pokemon get my votes as those are one of the only series I've played more than just one or two games of. Pokemon has been an addiction since I was a child while AC is great for relaxation. Kirby is adorable and an overall enjoyment to play!

Mark Kamill January 3rd, 2014 2:32 AM

Voted! Also, although its technically not only a Nintendo thing, the Picross series should be up there as well.

Yes! It's a series that's been with Nintendo since the Game Boy days. Absolutely fantastic games.


...brb, gonna go play Picross e2.

Dragon January 3rd, 2014 4:23 AM

There, I added for your convenience! Anyways looks like Pokemon is winning so far! Are you going to let them win, Super Smash Bros. fans?!

DowntownDumpling January 3rd, 2014 8:06 AM

Ugh, I just picked Pokemon because I hadn't read the bloody thread so I thought you could only do one. I'd have been among the most likely to go with multiple ones, too... X(

Squirrel January 3rd, 2014 10:48 AM

I voted for Kid Icarus and Pokémon! They're my two favourite game series to date from Nintendo and I've love to see more of them (especially the former!). I was considering The Legend of Zelda too, but I've not played nearly enough of the series to know much about it haha.

antemortem January 3rd, 2014 12:17 PM

tbh Super Smash Bros. should be on top. >:( Come on, where's Meta Knight when you need 'im!

Haha of course Pokemon's gonna win because we're on a Pokemon forum! xD

BANNED

At least there's Snake ri-oh wait, Nintendo franchises.

Wario Mario or Metroid should win. Only big name franchise on the list without a single bad game in the mainline series. (No sorry, don't know no Other M or Sunshine) but nah, gotta be on a Pokemon forum.

of course, the real winner is Rhythm Heaven. So good it's not even on the list

The only downside is that SSBB left me really dissapointed x)
Although I did vote for it because I'm a huge SSBM fan and I play it competitively :P

Spinosaurus January 3rd, 2014 1:23 PM

I was hesitant on voting for Smash because Melee is really the only one that's actually brilliant. 64 is very light on content, despite having an amazing combat system and Brawl was basically the other extreme. So much content, but the combat left much to be desired.

All the other series I voted for had at least two games that I'd consider amazing. (if not masterpieces) F-Zero has X and GX, Advance Wars has the first two, Donkey Kong has the GB game and Donkey Kong Country 2, Metroid has Super Metroid and Metroid Prime. Then you got Punch Out and Wario which don't have a single game that's less than amazing.

Huh. I don't like 64 because no side attacks, and I actually enjoy Brawl more than Melee (despite growing up with Melee and getting good at it) if Smash Balls, which are broken, are turned off. But I guess if you want it totally skill-based (which I don't), Melee's the way to go.

TwilightBlade January 3rd, 2014 2:38 PM

Animal Crossing
Fire Emblem
Kirby
Pokemon
Super Smash Bros.

I've played a little bit of all of them (Pokemon reigning supreme as I have just about all of the main games). I was going to pick something like Yoshi too, but I haven't played a Yoshi game; I've only played him through SSB and the Mario Party/Sports spinoffs. Yoshi's fantastic in those games, haha, my childhood right there. SSBB was a bit hard to get used to when playing with the wiimote.

Keitaro January 4th, 2014 1:51 PM

Sad face for no Final Fantasy. Sure they went to PlayStation when VII rolled around, but they were all Nintendo before that. I'll just give my vote to Zelda then. :P

wolf January 5th, 2014 4:55 PM

Animal Crossing
Donkey Kong
Kirby
The Legend of Zelda
Mario
Metroid
Super Smash Bros.
Yoshi

There are a few franchises that I've played games of and aren't listed above (F-Zero, Fire Emblem, Golden Sun, Star Fox, and Wario), but I haven't played them enough to consider myself a big fan of them. I also didn't vote for Pokemon because I'm a hipster like that.

Cura January 6th, 2014 1:36 PM

I want to vote for all of them, but I can't. Darn it.

Such a hipster! :P

Voted for Fire Emblem, Golden Sun, Kid Icarus, Zelda, and Pokemon! I feel like Pokemon being on there is kind of cheating since we're a Pokemon forum and all, but oh well :3

Dragon January 9th, 2014 7:30 AM

It looks like the winner, with 37 votes, is Pokémon! Thanks for voting! (I guess pokemon fans do like their Pokémon!) A big shoutout goes to Super Smash Bros. for runner up!

Stay tuned, because next we have Capcom's DEATH BATTLE next!
