Custom Robo Arena.   Because it's portable, which I always favor when I can, and I don't want to pick a game (WarioLand 4) that not everyone has easy access to.  I'm an ambasador, but not every single person in the forums is.  Or are they?

To be fair, Warioland 4 is as readily accessible as the rest of these games (perhaps with the exception of BG&E). True, Warioland 4 was given out to ambassadors, but it's also possible to play in it's original form. As with any of these other games, you simply need to have the game and the hardware to play it on. The fact that Warioland 4 was given out for free to ambassadors actually makes it more accessible, as it provides an additional means of playing it.
Gouge away.

I voted for Star Wars mostly for an excuse to play it again, and to see how that title would look on dolphin. That, and I love space shooters. I just bought Wario Land: Shake it, so I'm kind of filled up no Wario games at the moment.

I voted for Wario Land 4, although I would be happy playing any of these games. This is a pretty interesting and diverse list.

We all know I went with BG&E, but we also know it's not going to win.


i didn't vote for it because i had already played through it before and i rarely re-play games since i'm always going through backlogs.

I chose Rouge Leader. My predictions is that it will get second to Wario Land 4, but I don't really care. Rouge Leader is the only one of those that I own though, so I hope that I am wrong.

It's almost silly that Rogue Leader or (Rouge Leader for the fashionable amoung us) is on the list. Almost. While it most definitely didn't didn't fly under any radars, it is historically important for the GC, a solid game, a true technological marvel and the last Factor 5 game that is unconditionally great.

I vote Warioland. I have it and it's portable, Yay!
I've got Custom Robo too but some how it appeals less to me. Come on Robo fans, give me some reasons to change my vote!!!

Rogue Squadron and Rogue Leader never did click with me. Give me Starfox & Ace Combat over those games any day.

I went with Wario Land as well. I remember buying it close to launch on GBA and really enjoyed it back then. And since I am one of those fine men that can call themselves an ambassador, I have the game ready to roll on my 3DS.

Even though I have never played Custom Robo.  It has little machines that you can customize by my understanding.  Do you need more?

Poor WiiWare...

I picked up BG&E during the crazy winter XBLA sale when it was selling for around 250 MS points. Haven't touched it yet, sadly . A retroactive would be just the push I need. But I have a hunch a certain money-grubber is going to win. Blah.

Man, three of the nominees have never been released in Japan. Only Custom Robo and Wario Land are available.
I chose Custom Robo.

They never released Rogue Leader in Japan? Is Star Wars just not a bit thing there? That's one of the best games on the GameCube.

Wikipedia says Rogue Leader was released in March 2002 for Japan. The original source is GameSpot's database.

I really don't want to play Wario Land 4. I usually love those games, but this one just seems tedious and weird...

I'll second that. Maybe it gets better, but I didn't enjoy what I've played.

Went with Wario Land 4. Been playing it, though I don't think it's anywhere near as good as Mario platformers.

I don't know, that seems a little unfair. Warioland is such a weird and unique offshoot that I don't think they're really comparable. Warioland 4 certainly has platforming elements but that's certainly not the focus of the game. For me Warioland 4 is all about the weird power-ups, art style and booking ass by bursting through concrete blocks with your head in order to get back to the start of the level. It might not be a demanding platformer but it's damn fun. Plus, I really like the boss designs which are just crazy.

Yeah, I was on board enough with the concept to buy it but sadly in the truest Linddy style, not on board enough to play it. Not yet anyway.


When do the results get announced? During the podcast? Just finished a game and I'm holding off on starting anything new. I am ridiculously excited to play the same game as you fine fine people (who I've never met).
