@Dr_Corndog I feel they want to influence poll results based on that, to create a more "unexpected" result. Strangest bit is that choosing FF5 GBA but FF6 SNES would have actually made sense, as FF5's SNES version was only released in Japan.
I mean, why go with 3 on DS but 1 and 2 still on NES? I guessed because 3 NES only came out in Japan. But then you still select 5 on SNES, also Japan only. But then you still select 6 on GBA, somehow?! It's almost intentionally selecting the worst versions of those games to make the results more unique and weird. 5 is easily the best on GBA, and that's without considering the fact that the SNES one was JP only (which seems to have been a factor in choosing which versions of the three first ones to take). Oh wait, 2 is JP only too, and the NES version is famously quite bad. You still go for that one somehow. Then you somehow don't go with the earliest version of 3 and 6, when going with the earliest version was also kind of a thing? It just makes no sense. 6 got most affected by being ported to GBA, out of 4 5 and 6, so I guess it was another attempt at making people select what they find the "worse version."
@Mach_Rider Yeah, to be fair Curse of the Moon didn't grab me much. Felt quite stale and easy, little engagement. In terms of Inti games, I much prefer Gunvolt, but in the end Castlevania and Bloodstained (the explorative ones) are on top for me.
@Severian To be really honest, the connection felt like flattening the character of the main antagonist from XC1. "Oh, that guy's just my dark half. I'm the good half." XC1 implied the final boss wanted friendship but had some mental issues going on that made him completely oblivious to how friendship actually works. XC2 changed this into "that's the evil half." It removed the bit of complexity the main antagonist had.

Re: Poll: What's The Best Final Fantasy Game On Nintendo Consoles?
Somehow you've managed to select the worst version of every single Final Fantasy.
Re: Bloodstained: Ritual Of The Night On Switch Had Biggest Response, Sales Were "Well Above" Expectations
I really hope IGA won't take the wrong conclusion from this, that being that he can give Switch owners anything and they'd buy it...
Oh wait, that's exactly how it is.

Re: Inti Creates Announces Azure Striker Gunvolt 3 For Nintendo Switch
@ancientlii I really enjoyed it once I got used to it. I prefer Luminous Avenger iX, but doing combos with Gunvolt felt satisfying.

Re: Poll: Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition Is Out Today On Switch, Are You Getting It?
@Severian The two are, theme/plot-wise completely different yeah.

Re: Nintendo Thwarts Scalpers With Animal Crossing amiibo Card Restock
Wish they did the same with the Xenoblade Collector's set, bunch of clowns.
Re: The Dream's Over Folks, Nintendo Confirms There Are "No Plans" For Zelda: Skyward Sword On Switch
@Pazuzu666 Am I glad I can just emulate the game FOR FREE instead of giving Nintendo money for it!
