The only 1 seed remaining in the tournament overcame a pair of classic Linked adventures, but can it beat down the game that did what no other game in this postseason could do in beating a Metroid Prime?
Radiant Historia: This early 2011 DS game was simultaneously overshadowed by a mainline Pokemon release (at least in North America) and the 3DS launch, but it managed to combine the ultimate refining of turn-based active grid combat and one of the two good time-travel storylines ever seen on Nintendo consoles.
Previous Matchups: Lost to Metroid Fusion in NWR March Madness, beat Hotel Dusk: Room 215 (R1), Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons/Ages (S16)
Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon: The Year of Luigi may not have gone well for Nintendo, but it certainly started out with a bang. Next Level's interpretation of the Gamecube classic brought the game to portables without missing a beat, and finally let the man in green step out of his brother's shadow.
Previous Matchups: Beat 999: Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors (R1), Metroid Prime 2: Echoes (S16)
