Edit: Augh I'm to NES games... Zelda or FF? D:

Edit2: Wtf! ALttP, CT, or EB? They're all perfect! D:

Edit3: lol, all rare games say "Rights Pending" instead of a picture

Edit4: I'm hating how they're grouping together bunches of games I never heard of for one category, with the next having three amazing games in it D:

Edit5: Also hating the genre categories. How can FFXIII and Heavy Rain or LBP2 and U2 even be considered the same genres?

@zez Yeah, some of these are incredibly hard decisions. D: Blazing Dragons or Panzer Dragoon Saga? Little King's Story or Zack & Wiki? ARGH! Well I chose Chrono Trigger because visually it looks better than the other two and shows off the power of the SNES. It might have a bit more "wow" factor to passers-by... but it was still a really tough decision. D:

I'm glad to see the selection of games is good. Seems like most of the big, memorable games as well as some great niche titles are represented here.

EDIT: Obviously they aren't talking genres at all, I think they're just categories they'll use for display. I found some of them really puzzling too, lol. Diablo 2 alongside Crimson Skies, whut. Combat/Strategy is the weirdest though! Ogre Battle 64 next to Rainbow Six next to Worms Armageddon? WHAT lol.

Also chose Chrono Trigger for that one... It gets hard later, when they put three amazingly great games together D:

Gah, can't choose between LoZ: OoT, LoZ: MM and Paper Mario. D:

Wait, WHERE'S MAH GAME BOY, GBA AND DS SECTIONS?! Smithsonian, I am disappoint. I guess they're just talking consoles and PC here.

In the process of voting:
Having to choose between Wind Waker and TTYD. Hardest decision of my life, but I suppose from an art perspective Wind Waker should get my vote
Little King's story or Zack and Wiki? Curses, the layout is unfortunate.
Phew, finished, that was some pretty stressful decision-making there

Oh my Gawd Ranger-X is a choice! Everyone vote for it! It's one of the best looking Genesis games EVAR!

When I got to ERA 5 combat/strategy for the GameCube, I saw Pikmin 2. That made my face light up. Then I saw Fire Emblem PoR. I realized that I was going to have to pick between one of them.

I voted. Mostly for games I haven't played or personally don't like, as it turns out.

Why would any sane person put Uncharted 2 and LBP2 in the same category? they're both really really good, but for really really different reasons.

Anyway, for Wii I picked S&P, MHT (of course), MPT, and LKS. All great games, though I haven't played the first.
for GCN my picks were Zelda: WW, MP2, and FE: PoR. And I picked Zelda: MM out of the three on the N64

@Raylax: lol, same here mostly

This was the hardest and longest Voting poll I've ever encountered and I enjoyed every minute of it.
