Hey I think you made a mistake picking God of War, because Contra used to be in arcades.

[Byrntrigan]

Very funny Punker. Just 'cause it was in the Arcade doesn't make it better. But God of War should destroy Contra in my opinion.

It's a better game.

I ask the same thing of any of the Donkey Kong Country games. Especially since that Karate game made it and apparently was a "mediocre" game at best.

[Byrntrigan]

My guess would be Eric that not many people played them. What one out of them would you reccommend to someone to pick up on VC?

All 3 of the are good. Good enough that it help keep the SNES alive for another two years after the Playstation came out.

Start with the first one and go from there.

I would agree with this. Start with the first one. It's a good game. However, for my money, DKC 2 is the best of the bunch. However, I never played DKC when it was on the SNES. Just DKC2 and 3. I would reccomend playing them in order. Tons of fun and challenging, and a lot to do to get 100% completion (I think in 2 and 3 you can get up to 103% completion) Highly recommended. DKC 1 and 2 were the first games I bought for the VC when I got a Wii. 3 came out on Christmas or Christmas Eve and I stayed up late playing it as well.

Wow those are some good matchups.

Galaxy vs Mario 64 in a battle of 3D Marios
Street Fighter II vs Mortal Kombat in a battle for the ultimate fighting game (not to be confused with Ultimate Fighting Championship Game)
Link vs Mario
Final Fantasy vs Grand Theft
Ocarina goes against another WWF Video Game
The Best Football Game Ever against the Game that launched Nintendo

Sometimes it is odd how perfect these brackets work sometimes.

[Angle]

Great matchups. God of War 2's gonna get killed though.

[Courtney]

I don't know about that. I'm voting GoW.

[Angle]

Nice, Mario vs Sonic. The eternal question will finally be answered.

[National Champion Chris Cole]

Sonic is going to get smoked. And the Ms. Pacman/Castlevania winner will won't last an extra round.

[Courtney]

Hey you guys. Um, don't really want to make a big deal out of this as I'm going to try and keep the showdown running smoothly. But just in case...

My boyfriend and I broke up last night and now I have to find a new place to live. So hopefully, I'll be able to keep everything going, but if things get delayed somewhat, that's the reason.

[Moosehead Jack]

sorry to hear that Court, hope you find a place and get things back in order as soon as you can

[The Jewish Cunthead]

Court don't worry about a stupid showdown, just take care of yourself.

[Byrntrigan]

Yeah Court. Take care of yourself and don't worry about the showdown.

You and your life are more important...

Take care.

Don't call my showdown stupid!!! It deserves all the love and attention that Joos deserve...oh wait... ;D ;D ;D

Seriously, thank you guys. I'm not strapped for money or friends with couches so it's not a completely horrible situation. But I really appreciate the thoughts.

[The Jewish Cunthead]

Ok let me re-phrase... don't worry about the showdown that happens to be run by the best poster on PH... how's that?

[punk/core]

Yeah, don't worry about postponing the showdown. And if you need a place to sleep, I have room in my pants.
