Gamefaqs 2010 contest

http://www.gamefaqs.com/features/nominate_entry

Nom games that came out in the 00 decade. This had a few post in misc links, but it's worth a new topic.

What I'm nomming so far:

Front Mission 4
Soul Nomad
Persona 4
Fire Emblem 10
Valkyria Chronicals
Mario Kart: Double Dash
Left 4 dead

Still thinking, those are the ones that came to mind.

Katamari Damacy would be the top game from that decade.  Followed by Persona 3.

Haven't started nomming yet, but when I get unlazy...

Paper Mario
Phoenix Wright: Trials and Tribulations (they're nom rallying it)
Team Fortress 2
Touhou # (I'll look for a nom rally)
Wild ARMs 4
Portal
Starcraft: Brood War (the expansion is 2000, maybe it counts?)
Probably some Advance Wars (I'm inclined to go Dual Strike, but I could be swayed by a rally to Days of Ruin)
Maybe Fire Emblem 7 (I'm a little burnt out of watching FE games get crushed on GameFAQs)
Some ones I might toss in but probably don't need my support: Melee, Galaxy, FFX
Maybe some stuff I liked for the innovation (Loco Roco, Half-Minute Hero, Trauma Center, Warioware, Elite Beat Agents, Drilldozer)

Trying to focus on games that might get in, and might not flop if they do get in.  Except Touhou, but it's easily my favourite series right now, and it getting in would mean more people hearing about it, so nyeah.

Valkyria Chronicals

CHRONICLES

Probably will just pick whatever's at the top of my RPG Ratings list or something if I even bother.  Could get behind a Touhou and some other non-RPGs if convinced/reminded.

Baten Kaitos
Persona 4
Persona 3
SMTN (What? I'm an SMT fan. >.>)
Eternal Darkness
Scribblenauts
FE10
Advance Wars 2
Mana Khemia
FFIX
Shadow Hearts Covenant

Will probably add more as I think of them, although I might just throw in an SSBM nom if I can't think of much else.

Just from your list... Fire Emblem, Phoenix Wright, Wild Arms 4, and Paper Mario are all pretty much certain to flop if they get in. I don't think that's really something worth worrying about when it comes to noms, personally.

Presumably not Paper Mario.  On Wii VC now, + well known sequels + not tiny to begin with.  Would not surprise me if PM outperformed TF2 given how poor TF2 did in CB8.

it's 4-way, so this helps for highly cult stuff like FE & PW.

WA4...sure.

Fire Emblem (7) and Phoenix Wright both got murdered in the 2009 four-way contest. PW3 will likely do even worse than PW1, since it lacks that "first in series = people vote for it as a proxy for the series" factor that helped propel the likes of Sonic 1 and DKC 1 to perform better than their generally more well-liked same-system sequels.

Paper Mario... my assumption is that a non-mainstream RPG will never do well, and I think Super Mario RPG is the only game in that series that actually reaches into the GameFAQs mainstream. It is, admittedly, the only one of the four I think might actually have a chance.

hmm...my current list looks like Kilga's...i.e. I'm being honest...

Looks like potential Touhou rallies are around PCB, IN, or SA.

PlayStation 2 - Soul Nomad & the World Eaters
DS - The World Ends With You
PlayStation 2 - Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 4
GameCube - Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door
Game Boy Advance - Pokemon Emerald Version
PlayStation 2 - Final Fantasy X
PSP - Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII

After the initial fanboy nods, I wanted to spread around system and series love.  still dipped down a bit for the last couple, since I don't think any of them stand a chance to get in, let alone succeed.

Civilization 4 and Resident Evil 4 are the ones that come to mind immediately. Probably gonna have to put WoW on there, too.
