gdst Grand DS Tournament

Recommended Posts

Hello hello its me again. After some thinking, and some info gathering, decided next game tournament will be Nintendo DS!

Rules

Spoiler

1. Each person may nominate SIX (6) games. No 3DS games. Make sure to put up the specific, full, title so there's no misunderstanding.
1a. This number may increase.
1b. Also of note is that if the game has versions but the different versions are basically the same game they count as one game.
2. Only one nomination is needed for a game to be in. The goal is at least 32 but if we can get to 64 that'd be great. More possible if it seems people want it.
3. Please no alt accounts or getting people to vote for a game when they otherwise wouldn't. That's not cool and if I find out it happened the game could be disqualified.
3a. Advertising matches is okay but it's not okay to specify who you want people to vote for at the same time.
4. Matches will all be 1 v 1 and randomized. No ties will be allowed.

Rules don't seem to specify. There have been 3DS games nominated, including A Link Between Worlds, which was edited into the OP. Is that how this tourney is gonna go?

Swapping out LBW with Spirit Tracks. I suppose I should've clarified first.

Suppose since we're almost at 64 I'll put in my nominations. Amusingly all my favorites except one have been nominated but let's see....

Fire Emblem: New Mystery of the Emblem
Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon
Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare
Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors
Yugioh! GX Spirit Caller

I suddenly realized these are the only DS games I've PLAYED that aren't already listed, that I remember

Once more gonna @DragonSage unless mistaken 2 of those in your nominations are 3DS so giving you chance to change those if you'd like before I try and get more people in for the last 7

Kirby Super Star Ultra

Etrian Odyssey (I played the 3DS version, but not story mode, so it was as close to the original experience as possible)

Naruto: Path of the Ninja

Naruto: Path of the Ninja 2

Mega Man Star Force 2: Zerker × Ninja/Saurian

 

I would have said Diamond/Pearl as well, but I'm leaving the last 2 (and sacrificing 1 of mine) because there was someone before me that misteakenly thought 3DS was included. Will be waiting for them to either use their last 2 nominations or say they won't be using all theirs, kon.

Lock’s Quest

There's only 2 spaces open so which two would you prefer?

I'll wait a couple days after in case more people want to add some to see if I want to try and extend but I doubt we could double the nominations

I said would wait a couple days, technically this is a day and a half, but its doubtful we'd make it to another goal so I think it's best bet to call it here.

Will randomize and such today/tomorrow. Unsure if Sunday, Monday, or Tuesday I'll put the polls up but one of those three.

Decided to do the Quarterfinals tomorrow because

1. I'm running late on things
2. I want to give hot wheels polls some breathing room before putting out more polls

But here are the remaining games

Spoiler

Kirby Super Star Ultra
Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney
Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Blue Rescue Team
Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin
Pokemon Black/White
Pokemon Platinum

The tournament is over. And with it, comes results! There were some closer matches than expected in this whole thing honestly.

Anyway, onward with the results!

In 4th place, losing out by a single vote, Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Blue Rescue Team!
In 3rd place, the game whose gen is getting a remake, Pokemon Platinum!
In 2nd place, surprisingly far behind first in votes, Pokemon HeartGold/SoulSilver

and lastly, the 1st place winner (and my personal favorite), which beat out its own sequel on the way to the top

Pokemon Black/White!
